The client grievance and appeal procedure is written and made available to all clients and families and includes at least one level of appeal. The published process for submitting a grievance is posted and grievance boxes are provided nearby in conspicuous places for clients and families in each living unit and common areas. Grievances are transmitted confidentially and without alteration, interference, or delay to the party responsible for receipt and investigation. A written report on the final disposition of a grievance is prepared and filed, and a copy given to the client.
