Actually, the feds were here with
the state, to survey them! She started out just observing then she began
to ask questions & collect data for herself... making copies & such. She
repeatedly told us she was not here to survey us, just to watch the state
surveyor. She left before the exit interview, but in the process another state
surveyor had arrived. Actually, this complaint investigation was conducted
exactly like a survey which was alarming to us... we are due for an actual
survey & we wished they would go and do both!

disciplinary action used to write a defecien cy?
Have you guys considered bringing it to the federal level? One
year we did do this and we actually had some issues dropped that had no basis
for a deficiency (this was many years ago). Good Luck

assume compliance rounds would be made behind her for awhile. My
administrator wanted to know if it was normal for a deficiency to be written
from our disciplinary action.
