F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 review of facility policy, staff and resident interviews, and observation, it was determined that the facility did ensure a formal grievances process was in place for two of three units observed. (A Wing, B Wing). Findings Include: Review of the facility policy titled Grievances dated January 23, 2020 states, Policy- the patient has the right to voice/file grievances/complaints (orally, in writing or anonymously) without fear of discrimination or reprisal.

A tour of B Wing revealed missing grievance forms, the statement regarding the grievance process, and department of health posting information. Social Worker, Employee E9 stated they no longer had the grievance forms available for residents or visitors on those units and could not specify how long they have not been up. In the lobby area there was one location where grievance forms were able to be found, but there was no posting about the grievance process, who the grievance official was, or how to form a grievance anonymously. A tour was taken on November 20, 2025 at 3:02 p.m. with Employee E1 the Nursing Home Administrator and it was confirmed the only place where the grievance forms were available was in the front lobby.
