Areas of Concern Exit Summary
Are there resident issues or topics that need follow-up or
review at a later time or during the next visit?
No
Discuss items from “Areas of Concern” Section as well as
any changes observed during the visit. Give summary of
visit with Administrator or SIC. Does the facility have
needs that the committee or community could help address?
Administrator was on vacation during our visit and we met
with the acting administrator for exit interview.
Discussed our visits with residents and the overall favorable
feedback we were given with only a few exceptions. Told
the acting administrator about one resident who felt that di-
rect care staff were not attentive enough to residents and
were lacking caring and compassion.
