It was alleged that staff are not following admissions agreement. 6 out of 6 resident interviews conducted, did not corroborate with the allegation. 2 out of 2 staff interviews conducted did not corroborate with the allegation by stating that prior to admission, the facility will review the admission agreement with the resident and family, and will also discuss about the criteria for eviction if necessary (such as if a resident needs a higher level or care, non-compliance, violation of laws and house rules).
