Summary

During a review of the facility's Emergency Preparedness Program (EP), surveyors found that the facility did not maintain a complete communication plan as required by federal regulations. Specifically, the communication plan was missing contact information for all staff members and for residents' physicians. This omission was identified during a record review conducted with the facility Administrator. The deficiency was confirmed through both documentation review and an interview with the Administrator, who acknowledged the absence of the required contact information in the EP. The findings were also discussed with the Regional Maintenance Director during the exit conference. No information was provided in the report regarding specific residents or their medical conditions at the time of the deficiency. The focus of the deficiency was solely on the incomplete communication plan within the facility's emergency preparedness documentation.
