**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.

happened mostly for dinner. He explained the last incident happened on Saturday evening. He stated
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were passing out trays to other residents, but his tray was not
available. He stated the kitchen staff was, Not making up his tray on purpose. He said he knew when the
tray was not included in the cart because his meal ticket would not be included with his tray. He said, It's a
joke to them, they do it to be funny. He stated kitchen staff was supposed to include a ginger ale with his
meals, but this was not always the case. He indicated he stopped complaining about things because
nothing was done. He stated he had spoken to the Social Services Director (SSD) on more than one
occasion about his concerns, but the facility did not do anything. He stated he had requested certain CNAs
not be assigned to his care, but they still assigned them to him at times. He said, Abuse to an elderly
person is a felony, and he required assistance from staff because he was paralyzed on his left side. He
stated he called the police on Saturday because this facility did nothing to address his concerns. He
mentioned the Administrator came to the facility after he called the police on Saturday but did not come to
his room to speak to him.

included addressing any issues or concerns brought up by residents or families. She stated she completed
grievance forms and dropped them in the SSD box. She recalled resident #5 called the cops last Saturday
and complained about food portions and he was wet. She stated when staff checked resident #4, he was

facility. She stated she was not aware of any previous calls to the police by resident #4. She explained she
spoke with resident #4's assigned nurse and CNA. She explained the nurse was unaware of any
complaints. She indicated CNA A told her she had to go to the kitchen to get his tray because it was not
included in the cart. She stated she was aware resident #4 did not want certain CNAs assigned to him so
she accommodated his preference. She explained she would normally fill out a grievance form in a situation
like this, but this time resident #4 did not want to speak to her, and she would have needed the interview to
include it on the form. She stated this was the reason she called the Administrator.
On 4/30/24 at 3:19 PM, during a telephone interview, CNA A explained she was assigned to the dining
room during supper last Saturday. She stated the floor CNAs passed the trays to her residents. She
mentioned the CNAs told her they did not see resident #4's tray in the cart and resident #4 had asked
them, You don't see my food in the cart? She said the CNA told him she would get him a tray from the
kitchen, and he repeatedly said he did not want it. She stated the CNA went to the kitchen and brought him
a tray anyway, which he ate. She stated she did not know why the kitchen forgot his tray, because they
have, To go slowly with him. She acknowledged he liked to get ginger ale with his meals and indicated he
got mad when he did not get it, which sometimes happened.

this week. He explained anyone could file a grievance and the forms were found at the nurses' station and
the lobby. He explained they tried to resolve grievances within 72 hours. He explained grievances were
discussed in the morning meeting. He stated if a resident
