An interview on 09/05/24 at 4:20 PM with the SW, revealed it was reported to her by the Representative for
Resident #1 that she had to keep watch in the Memory Care Unit because an unknown resident sat on
Resident #1's lap. The SW said she told the DON and the Administrator about the grievance. She said she
put an intervention in place for staff to be available 24 hours per day, but that was already required in the
Memory Care unit . She said no other interventions or investigation was completed . She said she did not
know who the other resident was or which day for sure that the incident occurred.

was visiting the resident. She said she told the SW there was a woman that kept trying to sit on Resident
#1's lap. She said she did not know the exact day and she did not know who the other resident was. She
said the resident wanted to sit in Resident #1's seat. She said the staff were somewhere down the hallway
attending to another resident.

it and the SW would do the investigation. The DON said he did not know who the grievance official was, and
he was not notified about a grievance for Resident #1. The DON said the SW was responsible for ensuring
all grievances were addressed and she was supposed to report them to the DON and Administrator. The
DON said he should oversee the grievances daily and grievances were supposed to be reviewed during the
morning stand-up meeting . He said there should not be an instance when he was not notified about a
grievance related to nursing. He said Resident #1 was going to be assessed, staff were going to be
interviewed and that there was going to be a meeting with Resident #1 and her Representative. He said
there were not any residents in the Memory Care Unit who would sit on the laps of other residents. He said
he did not know for sure what day the incident occurred. The DON said the resident could be negatively
affected if their grievance was not addressed.

or concern would be reported and the facility was to resolve it as soon as possible. He said the SW was to

all grievances and make sure they were addressed.
