Another note on the grievance form included the name and telephone number of the state ombudsman. No other notes were seen on the grievance form. In a telephone interview on 04/03/2024 at 11:09 AM the Ombudsman reported that Resident #8 had contacted him about an incident on 02/26/2024 regarding a nurse entering his room when the resident was naked, and that later the nurse refused to give the resident her name. The Ombudsman said a grievance had been filed. In response the Ombudsman went to the facility and spoke to the DON and Social Worker. During the interview by the Ombudsman with the DON, the Social Worker and the resident present, the DON became upset and said the resident was a rude man and a liar, and that the conversation was over. At that point the resident said to just leave it so no further action was documented taken. In an interview on 04/03/3034 at 11:39 AM Resident #8 revealed that 3-4 days before he saw the Ombudsman [Social Service Progress Note 2/27/24] a tall, heavy woman knocked on his door in the early morning around 7:30 AM and just walked in. The resident said he had just finished showering and was naked. The nurse said she had his morning medication, and when the resident said it was not time for his AM medications, the nurse said it was for another resident. The resident said he was not able to get her name and that later when he asked for her name, she refused to give it to him. In an interview on 4/3/24 at 2:08 PM the Social Worker revealed that when a grievance was received it was routed to the corresponding department and the department then reports actions and outcomes to the Social Worker. Regarding Resident #8, the Social Worker said he was concerned that someone knocked on door and came in without permission. The resident did not tell the Social Worker he was not dressed.

In a follow up interview on 4/3/2024 at 3:38 PM the Social Worker revealed that in response to the grievance from Resident #8 dated 03/25/2024 regarding staff members not knocking or waiting for permission to enter the room, the Social Worker and Administrator went and talked to the resident and a call was made to the state ombudsman, from whom the facility had not received a call back, so the grievance had not been resolved. The Social Worker said that there can be problems when a resident does not respond to knocks, that perhaps the resident had fallen or had some medical problem. In an interview on 04/03/2024 at 4:07 PM the Administrator revealed that if a resident turns on the call light staff need to respond. She said that staff need to knock on the resident's door and should wait for permission to enter the room but if there was no response there may be an emergent situation so staff may need to go in without permission. She stated that Resident #8 had a history of falls so when he does not respond to knocking on his door staff need to enter to make sure he is OK. Record review of the facility policy Resident Rights (undated) revealed that the resident has a right to a dignified existence. A facility must treat resident with respect and dignity and to be cared for in a manner and in an environment that promotes maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life.

The LVN stated that the two residents were separated with Resident #1 being kept in line of sight because he was mobile and had dementia. LVN C said that the verbal threat by one resident to another should have been reported because it was verbal abuse.

She stated the argument between Resident #1 and #2 the morning of 02/26/24 in which Resident #2 stated to Resident #1 te [NAME] a partir la madre was not reported to her. The Administrator stated she believed the phrase meant I am going to kick your ass but that whether it should have been reported to her depended on LVN C's understanding of the phrase.

She stated that it was important that residents' care plans be accurate. The DON said the resident had been going through a change in relation to wandering. She said that if staff had seen him going into another resident's room it would be on weekly nursing summaries and that would have triggered consideration for the care plan or monitoring behaviors. The DON said that Resident #1 walked but that it was not wandering, that it was an activity. She said that wandering or walking would be a problem if the resident had exit seeking behavior. She stated that Resident #1 did not have wandering behavior that had been assessed by nurse. She said if wandering was a behavior that had been identified then it should have been on the care plan. Record review of the facility policy Dementia Policy (undated) documented that behaviors in persons with dementia often represent that person's attempt to communicate an unmet need that they can no longer articulate. Knowledge of the resident can help caregivers identify environmental or other triggers to prevent or reduce behaviors or other expressions of distress. The facility's approach to care for a resident with dementia is expected to follow a systematic process to gather and analyze information necessary to provide appropriate care and services and includes development of a care plan that identifies approaches and interventions for the specific resident.
