Lack of Annual Review Documentation for Emergency Preparedness Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide documentation verifying that its emergency preparedness plan was reviewed within the previous twelve months. During a document review on July 1, 2025, surveyors were unable to locate evidence that the emergency preparedness plan had been reviewed by the Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) committee as required. An interview conducted at the exit conference with the Director of Nursing and the Director of Maintenance confirmed the absence of documentation showing that the emergency preparedness plan had been reviewed in the past year. No additional information regarding specific residents or patient conditions was provided in the report.
