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.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the prompt resolution of all grievances to include
ensuring that all written grievances decisions include the date the grievance was received, a summary
statement of the resident's grievance, the steps taken to investigate the grievance, a summary of the
pertinent finding or conclusions regarding the resident's concerns; a statement as to whether the grievance
was confirmed, any corrective action or to be taken by the facility as a result of the grievance, and the date
when the decision was issued for 1 of 4 (Resident #1) reviewed for resident rights.
The facility failed to initiate and complete a grievance for Resident #1 who voiced a complaint of the facility
response to cable service outage resulting in a delay to resolve the issue.
This failure could place residents at risk for grievances not being addressed or resolved promptly.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 01/07/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old female who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of major depressive disorder (mental health disorder
characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment
in daily life).
Record review of Resident #1's initial MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 14
indicating she was cognitively intact.
During a private interview on 01/07/2025 at 10:43 a.m., Resident #1 said the cable television channels went
out the day before Christmas (12/24/2024), and there was only one channel available which was CSPAN.
She said that she was admitted to the facility for recovery from knee surgery and watching the television
was her preferred source of entertainment. Resident #1 said she complained immediately about the issue
to staff and that the Maintenance Director attempted to do something to get more available channels but
was not successful. Resident #1 said the facility activities staff offered her several things to do but she did
not want any of those items. Resident #1 said the issue was not resolved until 01/06/2025. Resident #1 said
when she was admitted to the facility, she was not informed of any facility grievance policy. Resident #1 said
four days later, on 12/30/2024, she just talked to some lady at the facility who she thought was a boss at
the facility. Resident #1 said she told the lady about her complaint. (Lady that was mentioned by Resident
#1 was identified as the Facility Administrator). Resident #1 said no one explained to her how to file a
grievance at the facility. Resident #1 said she was not provided any policy regarding the grievance process.
Resident #1 said

she was fine and was only inconvenienced by the issue. Resident #1 said the issue may have been
resolved faster had an immediate grievance been filed.

During an interview on 01/07/2025 at 11:07 a.m., LVN C said the cable went out around Christmas time.
LVN C said activities were provided to the residents who did not have other channels available. LVN C said
Resident #1 was the person who complained about the cable not working. LVN C said she did not complete
a written grievance form as the Maintenance Director was already aware and working on the issue. LVN C
said she thought a grievance had already been filed. LVN C said if a resident had a grievance, the
Grievance report forms are always located on a door file at the DON office and available. LVN C said she
did not know if a grievance was filed for the issue. LVN C said the issue was not resolved until 01/06/2025.
During an interview on 01/07/2025 at 1:15 p.m., the Maintenance Director said on Christmas day, the cable
went out throughout the facility. He said due to a transition of new ownership, there was an issue with
payment of services for the cable. The Maintenance Director said about 80% of the televisions in the facility
were able to receive more channels by connecting to the internet. The Maintenance Director said Resident
#1's television was one of the televisions that was not able to receive any other channels. The Maintenance
Director said he was aware of the issue and attempted to rig the television to get more channels. The
Maintenance Director said he did not file a grievance and only knew of the issue by visiting residents. The
Maintenance Director said he did not know when administration learned of the issue. The Maintenance
Director said the issue was resolved on 01/06/2025.
Record review of the grievances for November 2024 through January 2025 revealed no grievance found for
Resident #1's concern regarding the cable issue.
During an interview on 01/07/2025 at 2:53 p.m., the Facility Administrator (FA) said she heard about the
cable being out during a morning meeting on 12/27/2024. The FA said no formal written grievance was
done. The FA said all grievances are forwarded to the Administrator to follow-up and address the issue until
resolved. The FA said she was informed that the Maintenance Director would fix the issue. The FA said the
activities department offered residents affected by the cable outage activities. The FA said on 12/30/2024,
she learned that the issue was not resolved. The FA said Resident #1 was complaining about the issue and
she went and spoke with the resident. The FA said she did not know that Resident #1 was only able to see
one channel and not getting enough channels. The FA said she was told by Maintenance that it was a quick
fix which did not turn out to be true. The FA said she did not complete a grievance for the issue and that a
written grievance should have been completed. The FA said the facility grievance process broke down and
she would have to take the hit for that one because there was no documented grievance and she believe
she was given misinformation regarding the cable issue. The FA said if the process was followed, the issue
may have been resolved sooner. The FA said there was no negative outcome to Resident #1, or any other
residents affected by the cable outage.
