Best
of luck to you.... I remember my first survey, and I have learned a lot
over the ensuing years. The best advice I can offer is answer their questions
honestly and to the point, but don't elaborate too much. If they express "a
concern" take care of it right away, and share with them what you did.
Also, remember that not all surveyors are "out to get you." However, the surveys
that I've been through where the Feds were present are pretty stressful (on both
the SNF & the State). I'll say an extra prayer for you
all.
