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. Based on observation, record review, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure a functioning grievance process for one resident (#2) of four residents reviewed for grievances.Findings included: A review of Resident #2's admission record revealed an admission date of 05/2024 with diagnoses to include but not limited to Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side and muscle weakness. On 08/12/2025 at 9:49 a.m., an observation was conducted of Resident #2's room. The light in the hallway above the door was sounding repeatedly with a flashing red light blinking. At 10: 50 a.m., an observation was conducted of Resident #2's room, the light above the door was still flashing and sounding. No residents were in the room at the time of observation. An interview was conducted on 08/12/2025 at 11:01 a.m. with the Social Service Director (SSD). A grievance from Resident #2 was reviewed, dated as received on 07/21/2025: Resident stated his call light was not answered timely on 3pm-11pm shift on 07/18/2025. The findings documented: Explained to resident that call light is malfunctioning and maintenance team are working on getting it fixed. Resident provided with a bell to ring in the meantime. The grievance was documented to have been resolved on 07/22/2025. The form documented the outcome was verbally communicated the outcome of the investigation and the resident was satisfied. During the interview with the SSD, she stated, his call light was dysfunctional. It was staying on continuously. We could not get it to cut off. We gave the residents (in the room) bells to ring during that period. They like to keep them, even though the light is fixed.

The Maintenance Director reported the continuous sounding of the light in the hall stopped at that time, it worked for about a week and then started up again. He stated he was waiting for a technician from an electric company to come to the facility to bring spare parts. When asked how long it took for the electric company to respond to a request from him, he stated, It takes about a week, sometime 2-3 days.
