What the official deficiency says
Additional Personal Rights of Residents in Privately Operated Facilities. (a)...residents in privately operated residential care facilities for the elderly shall have all of the following personal rights: (18)To select their own physicians, pharmacies, privately paid personal assistants, hospice agency, and and health care providers...This requirement was not met, evidenced by, during interviews it was reported to LPA that staff have asked residents to switch there doctor to Dr. Gordon, who is the Administrator. This is a personal rights issue, because residents have the right to choose. This is a potential health and safety risk to residents in care.
