we had our survey in april. i wasnt hired on yet.they had no act.dir. they had 12 sites. one was for no dir. the rest were on residents charting. 1-1 were not done propertly,not enough charting.and care plans did not match the 1-1 logs. so i got hired and had to do plan of correction,update care plans and inservice the act.staff. so state is due next week for follow up. so make sure your care plans and 1-1's line up with each other. ----from ohio
