LPA toured the facility and observed Activity Schedule for the month of September posted throughout the halls, there is a Fitness room where the exercise activity is conducted in the mornings on the 2nd floor, an activity/family room on the 2nd floor and a Game Room on the 3rd floor. LPA observed board games and books in activity/game room that are readily available for residents. The supply for the art and crafts activities was also observed. 5 out of 5 staff interviewed stated that they have schedules with various activities for residents to engage in throughout the day/week that include, painting, jewelry making, coloring, table talk time (social engagement), exercise, going for group walks, movie afternoons (residents vote on movie), bingo, bored games, and others. Staff stated that when residents have ideas on new activities they review the activity and try to add it to the schedule. Staff stated the suggestion of residents going on field trips is difficult due to funds. LPA interviewed 9 Residents and 8 out of 9 residents denied the above allegation, some stated they do not participate in the activities as they choose not to socialize, however, they observe activities being conducted throughout the day and are announced on the intercom and in the dining area. Residents that do engage in activities stated that they have a variety of activities to choose from and feel the facility is providing as much as they can to the residents. All 9 residents stated that there are plenty of books, bored games, there is a pool table, radio, karaoke machine and TV they are able to utilize if they wish. Interviews and observation do not corroborate this allegation. Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff and residents, along with observations, there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED. Exit interview held, and a copy of this report was provided to Admin istrator Lisa Pham.
