2014-10-21 06:14:01 PM amyr kathy, why is it at my facility the residents first and last names are on the hall by their door?
2014-10-21 06:14:03 PM colleenb Oh resident being the judges is a geat idea
2014-10-21 06:14:10 PM rosalliedelaluna lol
2014-10-21 06:14:12 PM jennide221 also doesn't HIPAA apply to identifying information.....you couldn't release names of residents.....we once had an NFL hall of famer at our facility for example...a pretty well known player too....and we had a lot of trouble with people writing it all over facebook
