Points regarding these suggested guides <br />when visiting residents included: <br />• Listed items are only a guide; not intended to be asked of all residents when visiting <br />• Try wording in open ended questions rather than "yes or no" answers <br />• Ask administration personnel how any concerns raised by residents during our visits, <br />observations, etc., are handled <br />• Reminders: <br />o Quarterly Activity Reports Due: September 30, 2017 <br />o Quarterly Site Visit Reports Due: When visit is completed. Autumn mentioned that <br />while regulations require a "mandatory" quarterly visit with a written report, we are <br />still able to do "friendly" visits to respective sites in order to be better known to <br />residents and staff, keep conversations on top about ongoing projects and needs. She <br />noted that any "friendly" visits would still need to have at least two committee <br />members in the group, although there would be no requirement for completing a site <br />visit report. <br />• Next Meeting: Tuesday, September 5, 2017 <br />Respectfully submitted <br />Martha R. Bell, Secretary <br />
