NOTE: Federal Regulations do not require State inspectors or the nursing home to notify patients and their families that a particular patient's care has been the subject of a survey violation. Even a finding of substandard care or actual harm does not require notification. Ask the nursing home administrator and your attending physician as to their policy regarding notification. In some cases you may need the assistance of your family attorney. Informed consent regarding continued care at a given facility is not possible without knowing the truth. More recent reports/corrections/complaint surveys may be available. Ask the nursing home administrator.
