(X4) ID PREFIX TAG SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES (Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0679 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some attendance. No other activities were planned for the morning. There was no calendar posted on the bulletin board labeled Activities for 2/28/2023. Interview on 2/28/2023 at 10:15am with the ADM and the DON, the DON had been employed by the facility for 3 years, the ADM had been employed by the facility for 1 month. DON and ADM stated their expectation of activities was activities be followed as scheduled. If there was no attendance or low attendance, the AD will go to individual rooms and invite/encourage residents to attend the scheduled activity. The DON and ADM stated if there was no interest in the scheduled activity, the expectation was the AD will offer an alternative activity at the same scheduled time. The DON and the ADM both stated resident requests for activities should be reasonably accommodated. Furthermore, the expectation was there will be at least four activities scheduled daily, the activities calendar will be displayed in all resident rooms, and there will be an activities calendar posted on the Activity Bulletin Board. The DON and ADM stated the potential negative outcomes for activities not being offered to residents is increased behaviors, boredom, and increased depression. Interview on 2/28/2023 at 10:45AM, the AD said she had been employed at the facility for 10 years, she had been the AD for 1 month and had her certification for two weeks. AD stated she did not complete planned activities on the calendar on 2/27/2023 as she was creating the March activity calendar. AD stated when residents do not attend a scheduled activity she will walk around and invite them to the scheduled activity. AD stated she plans to follow the March activities calendar. AD stated she had not been given a copy of the policy for activities; therefore, she did not know the expectation for activities. In addition, AD stated she was not aware the activity policy stated she needed to post individual calendars in resident rooms. AD stated the possible negative outcome for the residents who had no activities, would be that they may become more depressed or irritable which can potentially cause increased behaviors; in addition, the AD stated no activities can also decrease the quality of life for residents. Record Review of facility activity calendar policy dated 4/2020 reflected the following: Both large and small group activities are part of the activity program. The calendar will state all activities available for the entire month, which may also include scheduled in-room activities. The activity calendar will be displayed in high-visibility and high traffic areas; smaller monthly activity calendars will be posted in residents' rooms at a height and location that is accessible to the resident. Individual activities and room visit policy program will be provided for those residents whose situation or condition prevents participation in other types of activities, and for those residents who do not wish to attend group activities. Activities for residents with behavioral or emotional problems who cannot participate in group activities include: Uncomplicated activities that can adapted to the level of the individual's' attention span and function; activities requiring shorter periods of concentration to reduce frustration; and activities tailored to address specific underlying causes of the individual's behavioral or attention limitations.
