Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to protect one of 15 sampled residents
(Resident 164's) property from loss when their cell phone went missing.
Residents Affected - Few
This failure had the potential to cause Resident 164 anxiety and stress.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 164's admission Record, printed 6/25/25, the record indicated Resident 164
was admitted to the facility in June 2025 with a diagnosis of Depression and Chinese as their primary
language. During a review of Resident 164's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment instrument
used to identify resident care problems to be addressed in an individualized care plan), dated 6/18/25, the
MDS indicated, Usually understood - difficulty communicating some words or finishing thoughts but is able
if prompted or given time. The MDS also indicated, Ability To Understand Others . Usually understands misses some part / intent of message but comprehends most conversation.
During an interview on 6/23/25, at 3:04 p.m., with Resident 164 and their caregiver (CG) 1, CG 1 stated
Resident 164's cell phone went missing on 6/21/25. CG 1 stated they told staff, but no one did anything or
got back to them. CG 1 stated Resident 164 was anxious because Resident 164 couldn't call their family
with their cell phone. Resident 164 stated they needed to talk to their daughter and family, but they couldn't
because their cell phone was missing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 06/25/25, at 09:57 a.m., with Social Services Director
(SSD), the Theft and Loss Binder, dated 2025, was reviewed. The binder indicated Resident 164's missing
cell phone was not reported. SSD stated Resident 164's cell phone was not reported to them. SSD stated
they were responsible for investigating and resolving theft and loss issues. SSD stated staff should have
filled out a Theft and Loss Report and notified SSD as soon as possible when Resident 164's cell phone
went missing. SSD stated it was important to resolve Resident 164's missing cell phone immediately
because it could have caused Resident 164 frustration if they could not talk to their family.
During an interview on 6/25/25, at 4:49 p.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated CG 1
told LVN 1 Resident 164's cell phone went missing on 6/22/25. LVN 1 stated they did not fill out a Theft and
Loss Report and did not notify SSD.
During an interview on 6/26/25, at 12:16 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated it was important
to resolve Resident 164's missing cell phone as soon as possible so Resident 164 could have had peace of
mind and Resident 164 really needed their cell phone because of their language barrier.
