Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on a review of facility policy, the minutes from facility Resident Council meetings, and grievances
lodged with the facility, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined the facility failed to put forth
sufficient efforts to promptly resolve resident complaints and grievances expressed during Resident Council
meetings and written grievances, including those voiced by for two of ten residents reviewed. (Residents 1
and 2). Findings include:A review of the facility's Grievance Policy last revised on May 27, 2025, revealed
that the resident has the right to voice grievances to the Center or other agency or entity (for example the
State Ombudsman) that hears grievances without discrimination or reprisal and without fear of
discrimination or reprisal. The Nursing Home Administrator will serve as the Grievance Officer who is
responsible for overseeing the grievance process, receiving and tracking grievances through to their
conclusion, leading any necessary investigations by the facility, maintaining the confidentiality of all
information associated with grievances, for example, the identity of the resident for those grievances
submitted anonymously, issuing written grievance decisions to the resident, and coordinating with state and
federal agencies as necessary in light of specific allegations. Any resident, family member, or appointed
resident representative may file a grievance or complaint concerning the care, treatment, behavior of other
residents, staff members, theft of property, or any other concerns regarding his or her stay at the facility.
Grievances also may be voiced or filed regarding care that has not been furnished. Residents, family and
resident representatives have the right to voice or file grievances without discrimination or reprisal in any
form, and without fear of discrimination or reprisal. All grievances, complaints or recommendations
stemming from residents or family groups concerning issues of resident care in the facility will be
considered. Actions on such issues will be responded to in writing, including a rationale for the response.
Any resident, family member, or appointed resident representative may file a grievance or complaint
concerning the care, treatment, behavior of other residents, staff members, theft of property, or any other
concerns regarding his or her stay at the facility. Grievances also may be voiced or filed regarding care that
has not been furnished. A review of the Resident Council meeting minutes dated August 28, 2025, revealed
repeated concerns that call bells were not being answered timely. A review of a written grievance from
Resident 1, dated August 28, 2025, revealed that the resident stated she had to wait a long time for staff to
respond to the call bell to meet her needs. The documented facility action was to conduct call bell audits.
Resident 1 refused to sign the grievance as resolved, stating I am still waiting too long. Facility call bell
audits were conducted from August 29, 2025, through September 1, 2025, and the grievance was marked
by the NHA as completed and resolved on September 2, 2025. During an interview on September 3, 2025,
at 11:00 AM, Resident 1 (who is cognitively intact, able to understand and communicate clearly) stated that
staff response times to her call bell continued to be greater than 30 minutes on the second and third shifts.
She reported she had voiced grievances both verbally and in writing at the August 2025 Resident Council

11:15 AM, Resident 2 (also cognitively intact) stated he regularly waited longer than 30 minutes for staff to
respond to his call bell. He reported that he requires the assistance of two staff members and his roller
walker to ambulate to the bathroom and that he recently experienced a bowel incontinence episode
because staff did not answer his call bell in time. During an interview on September 3, 2025, at 11:30 AM,
the NHA and Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged there was no documented evidence of completed
