The Administrator stated that Resident #136's RP also did not receive written grievance summaries because the administrative staff did not believe formal written documentation was required for the representative's four verbal grievances, which concerned activities of daily living (ADL) care, missing pads and a microphone, hair grooming, and right/left hand discoloration.

The Administrator reported that she learned only today (03/23/26) that the facility was required to offer or provide written grievance summaries to complainants or those filing a grievance on the resident's behalf.
