F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to follow their grievance process related to expressed concerns for care for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for grievances, of a total sample of 8 residents, (#2 and #4). Findings: 1. Resident #2 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] from an acute care hospital. Her diagnoses included stroke, dementia, and urinary tract infection. Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment with Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 3/17/24 revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 8 out of 15 which indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Review of resident #2's medical record showed her son was her responsible party. On 4/29/24 at 4:28 PM, during a telephone interview, resident #2's son stated he found out his mother sustained a fall in the facility when he visited her in the hospital on 4/06/24. He explained he saw a bruise on her left leg and wanted to know the details of her fall. He mentioned his mother mentioned the fall to the hospital staff and they told him that information was not included in the report from the facility. He indicated he called the facility and spoke with the Director of Nursing (DON). He stated he requested a meeting with the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to address his concerns about his mother's care, but no one had called him. Review of the Grievance Log for April 2024 revealed no grievances for resident #2. On 4/30/24 at 3:37 PM, the DON recalled receiving a phone call from resident #2's son a couple of days after she was transferred to the hospital. The DON reviewed the transfer to the hospital documentation and acknowledged it did not include information that resident #2 sustained a fall. She stated the documentation listed abdominal pain as the reason for the transfer. She said the resident had complained of abdominal pain that day, but it would have been important for the hospital to know she also fell. She indicated resident #2's son asked why his mother was sent to the hospital. She stated she explained to him the pain she was having during the morning, her refusal for pain medication and then the fall. She confirmed she told resident #2's son they would set up a care plan meeting after resident #2 returned from the hospital. She acknowledged she had not called him to set up the meeting or followed up with him since the phone call over 2 weeks ago. 2. Resident #4 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE]. His diagnoses included hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis) and hemiparesis (one-sided weakness) following a stroke, convulsions, and anxiety.
