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, interview and record review the facility failed to initiate a grievance report in a timely manner, resulting in a delay in resolving the resident grievance. This failure affects one of two residents (R37) reviewed for grievances on the sample list of 35.Findings include:On 08/08/2025 at 10:40 AM V5, Ombudsman stated she had concerns about R37's missing jacket.

On 8/12/25 at 3:00 pm V1 stated V1 found a grievance regarding R37's jacket, that V1 had forgotten about. V1, Administrator stated she called the V6, Facility Owner and got permission to order two jacket tops for R37.

V5 stated V5 notified V1, Administrator the same day, (6/17/25) at 1:30 pm. I (V5) had called the facility repeatedly to follow-up with (V1) Administrator. She was never in the facility when I called. (V1) told me this morning that she tried to get ahold of me but was not able to leave a message. I have never had any problem with receiving messages on my phone. I gave her a new business card today. V5 stated V5 came into the facility today, and V1 Administrator told V5 that V1, Administrator has ordered new jackets for R37. On 8/13/25 at 11:25 am R37 became anxious and began to talk fast. R37 stated she was missing two winter coats soon after she admitted (5/29/25) to the facility. R37 stated she does not know exactly when they were missing because it was already summer weather when she noticed them gone. R37 stated she told everybody that would listen and does not believe her family took them out of the facility, but they may have. R37 stated the coats were not easily labeled due to the type of material. R37 stated, The jackets she reported missing were missing at least three or four weeks ago (6/17/25). I have been waiting for someone to do something to find it. I did tell the lady from an agency for the elderly. The ladies that work here said they looked in the laundry and couldn't find it. It was not until yesterday (8/12/25 while survey was in progress, (V1, Administrator)) came in and said they ordered me two new jackets. I won't believe it until I see them. I won't hold my breath.

V2, stated (R3) had a fall 3/5/25 as evidenced by the AIMS note (above), therefore that MDS is not encoded correctly. This was before my time. I did not start working for the facility until 5/27/25.On 8/14/25 at 1:50 pm V1, Administrator stated I am doing MDS right now. That fall documented on (R3's) 3/5/25 AIMS report may have been missed.
