Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
resident and staff interviews and resident/facility record reviews, the facility failed to record, address, and
resolve grievances for two (Residents #4 and #7) of two residents reviewed for grievances from a total
survey sample of 15 residents. The findings include: 1. On 08/04/2025 at 10:50 AM, an interview was
conducted with Resident #4, who reported the facility had lost three of her nightgowns purchased with her
own money for $69.00 each that she reported to the laundry supervisor who was no longer working for the
facility. She stated she purchased the nightgowns to keep her warm and without them, the facility staff
would place her in a hospital gown, and she got cold easily. One nightgown was found, but the other two, a
cream-colored gown and a blue-colored gown were not. She was never reimbursed and no one from the
facility had followed up with her to provide an update. She reported also speaking with someone from the
social services department, but she didn't know their name. A record review for Resident #4 revealed she
was most recently re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was initially admitted on [DATE]. Her medical
diagnoses included nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis, encounter for palliative care, anxiety disorder, and
obstructive reflux uropathy. A review of the most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment
with an assessment reference date (ARD) of 05/15/2025, revealed that the resident's Brief Interview for
Mental Status (BIMS) score was documented as 15 out of 15 possible points, indicating intact cognition. No
hallucinations, delusions, or behaviors were noted over the assessment reference period. On 08/05/2025 at
12:01 PM, an interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD) who confirmed that she was
also the facility's Grievance Officer. When asked about the facility's grievance process, she stated there was
a form completed when a grievance was reported. This was discussed by the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT)
to determine who would be assigned to investigate the grievance. The SSD further stated if something
came up that could be resolved immediately, she wouldn't complete a grievance form. For missing clothes,
the laundry was contacted and the lost-and-found with Activities was checked. If the items were not located,
she would complete a grievance form so the facility could start the reimbursement process. She reported
being familiar with Resident #4, and stated she was aware of her missing nightgowns. She further stated
the resident had reported her nightgowns missing before but usually they were found in the laundry, so a
grievance form was not completed. A review of the facility's Grievance Log during the period of July 2024 July 2025 revealed no recorded grievances for Resident #4 alleging she was missing items. Further, the
facility had no reported grievances to review during this period of time. On 08/06/2025 at 10:13 AM,
Resident #4 reported that the Social Services Department visited her, and her cream-colored nightgown
was returned, but her blue one was not found and the facility agreed to replace it. She was already wearing
the returned cream-colored nightgown and reported being happy that the facility met with her to address
this concern. A review of the facility's admission Packet titled Westminster

definition of a grievance was. A review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Resident and Family

member's right to voice grievances without discrimination, reprisal or fear of discrimination or reprisal.

working toward resolution of that complaint/grievance. 2. The Grievance Official is responsible for
overseeing the grievance process; receiving and tracking grievances through to their conclusion; leading

between disposable glove changes for one (Resident #1) of six residents observed during medication
administration, and 2) Ensure to don the proper personal protective equipment for accessing a Peripherally
Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line for one (Resident #1) of one resident with a PICC line.The findings
include: During an observation on 08/05/2025 at 11:10 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A completed
Resident #1's blood glucose monitoring and removed the gloves from both hands. LPN A disposed of the
used gloves and donned a new pair of gloves without performing hand hygiene in between. During
continued observation on 08/05/2025 at 11:10 AM, LPN A flushed Resident #1's PICC line wearing gloves

that a gown and gloves were to be utilized when accessing an internal dwelling device. During an interview
on 08/05/2025 at 11:20 AM, LPN A stated, I forgot to wash my hands. After prompting, LPN A stated, I'm
supposed to wear a gown when I deal with his (Resident #1's) PICC line. During an interview on
08/06/2025 at 9:00 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated, I expect them to perform hand hygiene in
