Summary
The facility failed to display written information regarding the application process for Medicare and Medicaid benefits, as well as information on receiving refunds for previous payments covered by these programs. During an observation in the Main Entrance Hallway, it was noted that although various information was posted for residents, there was no information available about applying for Medicare and Medicaid benefits or about obtaining refunds for payments previously covered by these programs. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, who acknowledged that the required information was not displayed on either the West Wing or East Wing nursing floors.
