This filed practice had the potential to effect all residents, based on a census of 21, to receive less than optimal care. Findings: Document review on 8/23/19 at 10:14 am, of the Community Health Board minutes, identified by the Administrator (AD) as the Governing Body (GB), revealed no information on reporting, policies, management or operation of the long term care (LTC) facility for the past 12 months. The content of the minutes was strictly related to hospital governance. During an interview on 8/23/19 at 10:16 am, the AD stated there was no LTC representative who reported information to the GB. The AD further revealed there had been no reports submitted to the GB. The AD had tried to get on the agenda and had been cancelled. The AD stated there is no GB oversight for the LTC.	2020-09-01
