Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a private space for residents' monthly council meetings and the confidential resident group meeting during survey for seven of seven anonymous residents reviewed for resident council.
Residents Affected - Some The facility did not provide a private space for resident council meetings. This failure could place residents, who attended resident council meetings, at risk of not being able to exercise their rights of being able to voice their grievances in private without uninvited staff being present.
Findings Included: In a Resident Council interview on 9/11/24 at 2:00 pm, the AT Director gathered several residents and brought them to the Dining Room. In the Dining Room, there were several residents watching TV and several staff in and about the area attending to their daily duties. When asked if there was a more private space, the AT Director remarked that there was no space large enough. He then suggested to move the meeting to the front lobby area where it would be a bit quieter. This space was not private and there was no provision to have staff avoid the area. In an interview on 9/12/24 at 8:25 AM with the AT Director, he stated he was trained on Resident Rights via the company's online training forum. He stated he was trained on how to educate the residents about their rights by another AT Director. He added the purpose for Resident Council was for the residents to be able to discuss their concerns and the meeting should take place once a month. He did not disclose any training around the issue of privacy. When questioned about the issue of privacy and redirecting staff away from the area, he stated, I can't stop nothing. In an interview on 9/12/24 at 8:48 AM with the ADM she stated that the Resident Council meetings should be held monthly, the residents had the right to privacy, and to invite staff to assist. She stated that a negative outcome of not having privacy during resident council meetings could be that they may not feel comfortable disclosing their concerns.

Record review of Resident Rights Policy, not dated, revealed residents had the right to personal privacy including accommodations, medical treatment, written and telephone communications, personal care, visits and meeting of family and resident groups.
