This failure affected 2 residents (R57 and R115), reviewed for resident's rights to enjoy a quiet homelike environment, in a total sample of 50 residents. Findings include: On 12/11/2023 at 11:00am, during the Resident Council group interview, R57 and R115 stated, R40 yells and screams all day and night. R57 and R115 stated, R40's yelling and screaming is preventing them from having a quiet and peaceful sleep at night. On 12/11/23 at 2:17pm, surveyor and V8 (Licensed Practical Nurse, LPN) at the 3rd floor nurses station could hear R40's audible noises from R40's room down the hallway. When asked how often R40 was loudly audible, V8 stated, R40 has lately been more often. When asked how is V8 ensuring other residents on the floor were ensured their rights to a quiet environment. V8 stated, V8 will redirect and reorient (R40) to try to help (R40) and did not speak about other residents' rights. Surveyor asked if V8 has received any complaints or concerns about R40's audible noises. V8 stated, some residents have complained on the night shift. On 12/12/2023 at 9:58am, R115 stated, (R40) screams all day, at any time of the day and at any time of the night. I (R115) can even hear (R40) screaming even when my door is closed. I even have ear plugs, look (R115 shows this surveyor the ear plugs), and they don't help either. Sometimes I get waken out of my sleep because of (R40's) screaming. It's just out of nowhere when (R40) screams, and there's no reason for it. I even went down to the end of the hall and checked for myself, and I can still hear (R40's) scream. It's just annoying hearing it and to be awaken in my sleep. I feel this is not an appropriate facility for (R40). The screaming is driving me crazy. Somebody please do something. I just wanna pull my hair out cause it is all day, every day. R115's admission Record documents, in part, R115's diagnoses including but not limited to: obesity, pulmonary embolism, spinal stenosis, Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis. R115's Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], documents, in part, that R115's BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) score is 15, which indicates that R115 is cognitively intact. On 12/12/2023 at 10:15am, R57 said, It's (R40's) screaming that is aggravating. We try to sleep in between the screaming. One or 2 days a week, (R40's family) take (R40) somewhere and its quiet here.
