Survey Results!

At last !! We have formal paperwork on the results of our last survey that was conducted in November of 2008. It sure takes time doesn't it? The survey was "completed" November 17th, 2008. We get the statement of deficiencies Monday January 12th and we must respond by Friday January 16th. So much for equal time : )

The two (yes that's only two) deficiencies were isolated issues and fell into a very low category of D on a scale of D, E, or F with F being the worst level of Minimal issues. The next group is G, H or I that are deemed Significant issues. This is followed by J, K and L that are deemed Immediate Jeopardy issues. (These could pose real and immediate problems to residents) The thing about the three ratings at each rating level is the number of residents affected. The first category letter represents isolated or very few residents affected. The next letter in a category means more residents effected. The final letter means widespread.

You will be able to see the full survey results soon on-line. I will also post a link when I have one. The final steps in this process are:
1/ A possible Follow-up survey to insure our plan of correction was in fact put into place and
2/ A new Survey profile Summary is issued.

Then the survey process is complete !!! wow !! (well.... until the next one : ))
