Michelle,
 
When you get your actual written summary of deficiencies it will list which resident number the deficiency addresses.  There should also be a list that allows you to figure out the resident number for the residents they are referring to.  I hope that makes sense.   Anyway, that is how they do it here in Colorado.   Too bad they didn't give you a clearer idea at their exit who they  were referring to.  Its always nice to get a jump on the plan of correction. 
 
And congratulations!   It is always unnerving to have a survey.  You never know what they will focus on or look for, but after you have survived a few you get a little better idea of what to expect.  You did great!

Subject: They are gone.

Hello Guys,
 
Well the state and the fed are gone.  They exited yesterday late afternoon.  My nerves are shot.  I feel like I could sleep for a week.  UGH!! 
 
MDS took 1 tag--278D.  Resident not ID'd correctly.  Ok guys help me out here, how does one not ID a resident correctly?  They have not told who this person was, so I have no clue if this happened prior to my taking the position or what I may have did wrong.  Any ideas floating around out there?
 
I want to thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts.  I feel that I have come a long way with this building considering with the mock state MDS took over 15 tags.  I walked into a mess and I have waded through it, without any experience and very little inside help, to bring this building up to where they are with the MDS.  Eveyone out there that has asked questions and received feedback have helped me through the bumps also.  I find it interesting that when I have a question regarding an area and I go through my mail it happens to be the main focus question that day or week.  Are you guys mindreaders? 
 
Again thank you for all your support and input.
 
We definately need an MDS month in an exotic place that the corp. pays for.
 
 
 
Thanks again guys,
 
Michelle E
