F 0565 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some all residents. The group said that these concerns were brought up in the meetings but nothing changes. The resident's stated clothes were still coming up missing and not enough snacks were being offered for the entire resident population. One resident in the group was a diabetic and she stated that the snacks that were left out were full of sugar and she was not able to eat them due to her diabetes. Another resident stated that he had gone to bed hungry before because he did not have a good meal at dinner and the snacks that were left out were gone by the time, he got to the nurse's station where the snacks were located.

The resident said she had to sleep in her sweats one night because she had three pair of pajamas that were still missing. The resident said she had informed the staff during resident council but had not received any feedback about her missing items. During an interview with the AD on 10/30/2024 at 8:39 AM, the AD stated she took notes for the meeting. The AD said she did not feel that missing clothes were a big concern because the facility gets donations.; If a resident had anything missing, they can get items from the donations pile. The AD said the residents have valid concerns regarding the lack of snacks and was unsure if their concerns were being heard because some residents take more snacks than they should. The AD said she did not think there was a negative outcome for missing clothing or not enough snacks for residents because of the donations that were given to the facility and that nurses have a key to the kitchen if a resident wanted food. During an observation on 10/30/2024 at 10:05 AM the State Surveyor observed the snack cart being unattended at the nurse's station.

The LS said the donated clothing was put in with the resident's lost and found laundry. The LS said that a possible negative outcome for mixing the lost and found laundry and the donations was that a resident may see their lost item on another resident and become angry thinking their items were stolen. The LS said that no one had discussed or implemented any changes in the way laundry was handled or stored. The LS said the snacks were left at the nurse's station and not passed out to residents; it was a first come first serve type situation.

The LS said that she believed that snacks should be passed out to each resident, so everyone had a chance to get a snack. The LS stated that she informed Administration that leaving the snack cart unattended at the nurse's station was causing issues with residents not receiving snacks because some residents were taking more than their share, but nothing had been done. During an observation on 10/30/2024 at 10:18 AM the State Surveyor observed a stack of donated clothing and the lost and found clothing in same the area stacked together in the laundry room.

During an interview with the ADM on 10/30/2024 at 11:00 AM, the ADM said that he was responsible for the grievances and the AD tells him of any issues with the group meetings. The ADM said that a possible negative outcome for not listening to the residents about their concerns with laundry or snacks was they may feel that their concerns do not matter.
