Residents Affected - Few The findings included: Review of the policy titled, Social Services-Grievance Process, with an effective date of 04/01/24, revealed the following: Grievances may be voiced through verbal complaint to a staff member (p.1); the facility shall implement a process whereby when there is grievance, it should be documented on the facility grievance report (p.2).

An interview was conducted with Resident #1's son on 06/18/25 at 12:00 PM who stated he reported complaints to the former and the new Administrators regarding the care of his mother which included medications, falls, non-functioning bed and TV, and resident's rights. The former and the new Administrators did not indicate any updates or progress regarding his complaints. He was very much concerned about Resident #1's medications which were not given until the night before a resident- initiated discharge from the facility. An interview was conducted with Staff A, Social Services, on 06/16/25 at 1:51 PM, who stated she has been working in the facility for 16 years. When asked how she informs residents of the grievance process, responded, A staff would take a grievance, then a management meeting would follow, and a grievance would be assigned to the appropriate person. When asked the usual response time for most grievances, she responded, Two days, if it is a small matter, but for a room change, it might take longer than the usual time. When asked regarding the malfunctioning bed and television (TV), she responded, The Maintenance Director is very responsive. It is very unusual that the TV is not working because the facility buys new TVs to replace the ones that are not working. When asked how she would know
