This survey cited 8 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0679 Provide activities to meet all resident's needs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents were provided activities on the memory care unit. This affected 15 ( #8, #11, #16, #24, #26, #27, #35, #42, #44, #47, #49, #52, #53, #55, and #57) of 16 residents residing on the memory care unit. Resident #31 was identified as a resident taken off the memory care unit for activities. The facility census was 68. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Observation on 08/26/24 at 3:02 P.M. of the memory care dining room revealed the television was on the music channel, few residents were sitting at the tables, and agency State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #500 was sitting at a table eating potato chips, drinking pop, and looking at her phone. STNA #500 stated she was on a small break and not there to do activities. Observation and interview on 08/26/24 at 3:30 P.M. revealed STNA #236 was coming out of a male resident's room and standing near the doorway. STNA #236 stated that she was trying to redirect a female resident out of the male resident's room. STNA #236 stated that she was standing at the doorway to keep an eye on the female resident and would reapproach in a few minutes. STNA #236 verified that there were no activities going on, but she was taking care of residents. Interview on 08/26/24 at 3:45 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that one STNA was supposed to do activities at 3:00 P.M. because the residents got antsy before dinner, while the other STNA took care of the residents that were not in activities. Agency staff should find out their responsibilities from the facility staff. Interview on 08/27/24 at 10:59 A.M. with Activity Assistant (AA) #212 revealed she organized and completed the activities for the skilled residents and tracked the activities for all residents. AA #212 stated that there was not a specific time for movies to be shown in the memory care unit, but she assumed that the staff put a movie on the television which was their activity. AA #212 verified that music was played in the memory care unit from 10:00 A.M. through 3:30 P.M. and although she documented the residents participated in a movie activity no movie was provided for the residents to watch. AA #212 also documented all residents participated in reading and reality orientation because she delivered daily chronicles to the memory care unit and the STNAs were supposed to go over it with the residents and she assumed they did. The daily chronicles were documented as reading and reality orientation because they included the day and date on them. Interview on 08/27/24 at 11:40 A.M. with the DON revealed that the activity department documented activities as completed, not the STNAs but the DON did not know how the STNAs communicated with the activity department regarding what activities were completed and when. The DON also indicated morning (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
