Failure to Post Required State Agency and APS Contact Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post required information for Adult Protective Services (APS) and other pertinent State agencies and advocacy groups in a manner accessible and understandable to residents and their representatives. During observations conducted in the building, it was found that there was no posted list containing the names, addresses (mailing and email), and telephone numbers of State agencies such as the State Survey Agency, State licensure office, APS, the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman, the protection and advocacy network, home and community-based service programs, and the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator, who acknowledged the absence of the required postings.
