the facility was a smoke-free facility. Resident #27 stated she knew she had not smoked for a long time but
she still had the desire to go outside and smoke and was being told she was not allowed to by staff.
Interview on 06/14/23 at 2:15 P.M. with the Administrator revealed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the
facility decided to become a smoke-free facility. Per the Administrator all new admissions would no longer
be allowed to smoke. The Administrator verified the admission document labeled 'Smoke-Free Environment'
did not state the facility was a smoke-free facility nor did it say only previous admitted residents would be
permitted to smoke. The Administrator verified Resident #27 did smoke prior to admission and was no
longer allowed to smoke after her 2022 admission.
Interview on 06/14/23 at 8:10 A.M. with Resident #27 stated chose to come to this facility because she was
allowed to smoke in 2019 with her last admission. Resident #27 stated she had no idea she would be
prevented from smoking when she was admitted to the facility. Resident #27 stated she knew the hazards
of smoking but stated she still chose to smoke and felt she was being denied her choice.
Interview on 06/14/23 at 8:15 A.M. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #400 revealed the staff was aware
of Resident #27's desire to smoke. LPN #400 stated the facility was to be smoke-free and only certain
residents were allowed to smoke.
