Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/09/2024 at 1:35 PM, the surveyor noted Resident #24
was without their hearing aids. Resident #24 stated they still did not have their hearing aids and that maybe
she (the SSD) forgot.
Residents Affected - Few
During an observation on 12/10/2024 at 11:08 AM and 1:23 PM, Resident #24 was not wearing hearing
aids.
On 12/11/2024 at 1:41 PM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #2 stated Resident #24 was hard of hearing,
but did not wear hearing aids.
On 12/11/2024 at 1:44 PM, CNA #3 stated Resident #24 had hearing impairment and did not have hearing
aids.
On 12/11/2024 at 1:28 PM, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) #1 stated Resident #24 did not wear hearing
aids. When asked about the posting at the bedside of the resident related to charging the resident's hearing
aids, LVN #1 stated the hearing aids may be at the nursing station and asked for more time to investigate.
On 12/11/2024 at 1:34 PM, LVN #1 brought a pair of new hearing aids labeled with Resident #24's name
and room number to the surveyor. LVN #1 stated he found the resident's hearing aids, but did not know how
long they had been in the facility.
On 12/11/2024 at 2:11 PM, the SSD stated they oversaw residents' hearing services. The SSD
acknowledged signing for Resident #24's hearing aids on 10/08/2024. Per the SSD, she failed to alert the
nursing department the resident's hearing aids had arrived and that was an error on her part.
On 12/11/2024 at 2:32 PM, the Director of Nurses (DON) stated the SSD did not communicate receipt of
Resident #24's hearing aids to the facility to ensure the Medical Director and the resident's responsible
party were notified, and to ensure that nursing staff were educated on assisting the resident with their
hearing aids and caring for the hearing aids. The DON stated the expectation was for the SSD to make the
interdisciplinary team (IDT) aware of ancillary services, such as hearing aids, to ensure the residents wore
them to improve their quality of life.
