Tabor Manor Care Center: Resident Rights Postings Outdated - IA
Inspectors from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services visited Tabor Manor Care Center, a 43-resident facility at 209 Main Street, over four days in early February. What they found in the common area near the nurses station was a collection of postings that fell short in almost every practical way. Some carried the right information but hung above eye level. Others were printed in small type. The names, mailing addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers for state regulatory agencies and advocacy groups, the resources a resident or family member would need to actually seek help, were not all displayed where residents could easily see or reach them.

See the Derila PillowA framed flyer in the lobby bookcase listed what it promised to contain: the current state survey, the fire marshal's report, Medicaid and Medicare information. Not all of it was there.
A separate flyer on nondiscrimination policy carried a contact number for the facility at the bottom. The number was outdated.
Information on Residents Rights was not posted at all.
The administrator, interviewed on the afternoon of February 6, told inspectors he would have to look at the area near the nurses desk to check whether the information was correct and present. The survey had been underway for three days at that point.
None of this rose to the level of what CMS classifies as serious harm. Inspectors tagged the violation at the lowest level, minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and noted it affected many residents given the facility's census of 43. No individual resident was identified as having been denied care or turned away from a complaint process because of a missing phone number or a flyer hung six inches too high. The inspection report does not document that outcome.
But the postings exist for a reason. A resident who wants to report a problem, whether it is about their care, their treatment, or conditions inside the building, is supposed to be able to walk to a common area and find a clear, readable, current list of exactly who to call. That is the system as designed. What inspectors found at Tabor Manor was a version of that system that had gone unexamined long enough for contacts to go stale and for a bookcase to sit partially empty beneath a sign describing what should be inside it.
The administrator's response, that he would need to go look, suggested the postings had not been part of any regular review. Whether the outdated contact on the nondiscrimination flyer had been wrong for months or years, the inspection report does not say. It records only that it was wrong when inspectors arrived on February 3 and still wrong when they finished on February 6.
For a resident at Tabor Manor who did not already know who to call, or who could not easily ask a family member to look it up, the path to filing a complaint ran through that nurses station wall and that lobby bookcase. In February, both were incomplete.
