Based on review of Patient Rights documents and interview, it was determined the Facility failed to include the State Agency address on the Patient Rights documents given to patients on admission to the hospital. Failure to include the State Agency address did not allow patients to place their complaint in writing and send to the State Agency. The failed practice affected all patients admitted to the facility. Findings follow:

1. Review of the Patient's Rights statement received from the Administrator at 1005 on 05/18/13 revealed the State Agency address was not listed on the form.

2. The above was verified by the Administrator at 1005 on 05/18/13.
