| C0369 | MAIL CFR(s): 485.645(d)(1) [The CAH is substantially in compliance with the following SNF requirements contained in subpart B of part 483 of this chapter:] Resident rights - mail (ยง483.10(i)): "The resident has the right to privacy in written communications, including the right to- (1) Send and promptly receive mail that is unopened; and (2) Have access to stationery, postage, and writing implements at the resident's own expense." This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: Based on resident and staff interview, the hospital failed to ensure mail was delivered on Saturdays to 4 of 4 swing-bed patients. The findings were: Interview with patient #5 on 5/1/12 at 9 AM revealed s/he had not received mail on Saturday while in the hospital as a swing bed patient. Interview with the compliance officer on 5/3/12 at 3 PM revealed mail was picked up by a staff member on Saturdays so residents in the attached care center received their mail. She further said, however, the staff member who delivered the mail to the care center did not deliver to the hospital which was where the swing-bed patients/residents resided. |
