BOX 1081	WRANGELL	AK	99929	2018-04-30	576	C	0	1	O8F911	Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure resident mail was delivered to the facility on Saturdays. This failed practice affected all residents in the facility (based on a census of 10) and denied residents access to mail on Saturdays and delayed receipt of mail until the following Monday. Findings: During an interview with the Resident Group Council on 4/25/18 at 2:06 pm, Resident #s 1; 6; 7; 10 & 11 unanimously concurred there is no mail delivery on Saturday, only Monday through Friday. During an interview on 4/27/18 at 2:10 pm, the facility Purchasing Agent (PA) confirmed she is responsible for getting the resident's mail from the Post Office. The PA further disclosed mail is retrieved from the Post Office Monday through Friday only because no one is trained to get the mail. The Resident mail is mixed in with the facility business mail. Review of Resident Bill of Rights provided by the facility stated Residents had a right to access their mail. Review of the facility policies table of contents did not reveal a policy for resident mail.	2020-09-01
