Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to result in Resident 2 feeling unimportant and disrespected and for Resident 2 ' s needs not being met.

During a review of Resident 2 ' s care plan (CP) titled, Care Plan Report, revised 3/24/25, the CP indicated Resident 2 was at risk for falls related to episodes of incontinence.

Resident 2 stated staff (in general) would sometimes tell Resident 2 that Resident 2 needed to wait until staff finished their rounds before staff could change Resident 2. Resident 2 stated if the staff assigned to Resident 2 was not available and another staff answered Resident 2 ' s call light, that staff would then tell Resident 2 to wait for the assigned staff to Page 1 of 5 056360 056360 04/11/2025 Arbor Glen Care Center 1033 E.
