volleyball. He stated he liked golf, but he could not stand up to play golf. He stated he was aware there was
a putting green on the back porch of the facility, but he had not been out there in a long time. He stated he

about activities very often. He stated he had not received enough one-on-one visits with the activities staff.

director's absence, she and the entire team were pulling together for group activities. The AA stated when
she dropped off coffee and newsletter, she usually only stayed for a moment to say hello. The AA stated for
Resident #32, she knew they used to put his television on for him, but he had not been able to use it as
much lately. She stated they would turn it on for him, but he was unable to change the channel and would
just push buttons until it did not work anymore. The AA stated he would usually just turn it off, because he
could not handle those circumstances. The AA stated Resident #32 mostly likes to chat with staff. She
stated he was very educated, and they had to be more patient with him due to speech issues, but he would
talk if he was given the time. The AA stated she did not have a role in planning activities. She stated the
activity director sometimes asked her for input on what the AA thought certain residents might like, but she

Surroundings as an independent activity applied to Resident #32, she stated she did not think his
surroundings were interesting, and that was the best she could do to describe what he had been doing.
During an interview on 06/16/23 at 02:31 PM, the DON stated Resident #32 used to be up and about, and
now he preferred to be in his bed. The DON stated he was a social worker before and knew he had the right
to refuse to get up and participate in group activities. The DON stated he liked television, and that was his
primary activity. She stated he also enjoyed the morning coffee rounds. The DON stated she saw him
watching television that morning. She stated she had been helping serve breakfast, was sure he had his
television on when she went in his room and was not aware that he was no longer interested in television.
When asked what the plan was to meet his recreational needs if he did not watch television, she stated
they could always ask him about what interests him. When asked if Observes Surroundings was an
adequate independent activity for someone who stayed in his bed with the blinds closed, she stated that
would not be adequate as his surroundings were not stimulating at all. The DON stated the concept of
Observes Surroundings as an activity was for residents who enjoyed watching people or nature.
During an interview on 06/16/23 at 02:52 PM, the ADM stated the procedure for new and changing activity
needs to be identified began when they (usually clarified the nursing staff) noticed a change in what a
resident was able to do or if the resident provided any feedback. The ADM stated if a resident was having a
decline, there might have been a change in their attendance to activities or the type of activities they
preferred, and this might trigger a new assessment. The ADM stated he monitored for compliance with the
process of identifying changes in activity needs and preferences by visiting with staff and sometimes the
residents themselves. The ADM stated Resident #32 used to go get coffee and that was his primary activity
along with maybe arguing with other residents on the way back to his room. The ADM stated when they had
a resident someone who was not interested in group activities, they should have figure out what he liked to
do. The ADM has gotten some feedback that Resident #32 liked it when the AA went by Resident #32's
room and poked her head in to say hello. The ADM stated when a resident like Resident #32 was not
satisfied with the activities he was offered, they should not have stopped trying to find something he
enjoyed. The ADM stated a potential impact on Resident #32 could be that he would not be able to live out
the rest of his life in as fruitful a way as possible. The ADM stated they did not want Resident #32 to be
bored for the rest of his life but rather wanted to make what time he had left as comfortable and appropriate
as possible.
Review of undated facility policy titled Activities Program reflected the following: It is the policy of this facility
to ensure each resident has access to daily, social, recreational, or rehabilitative activities, provided and
available to them. Activities are planned according to the residents, preferences, needs, and abilities. Every
resident will be interviewed for preferences.
