F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances. Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to make residents and residents family members aware of the grievances process and allowing them to exercise their right to file a grievance leading to the facility not addressing the grievances of residents for resident reviewed who attended Resident council Meetings (9 residents). 1. The facility failed to make residents and family members aware of how to file a grievance These failures put residents and family members at risk of decreased opportunities to present grievances and recommendations. Findings included: In a confidential interview on 10/18/2023 at 11:19 am with a group of residents from the facility they all stated that they were not aware of how to file a formal grievance. A resident stated he was under the impression the residents from the facility had to present their complaint to the resident council president and he would inform the social worker of any concerns. However, residents stated that they were not aware there was a grievance form that could be filled out if they wished to place a formal written complaint. A resident discussed several concerns that he discussed with staff members but felt they were just giving him the run around and nothing was being done and he was wondering if there was any formal document, he could fill out but verbalized not being aware of the grievance form. Interview on 10/18/23 at 12:45 pm with the Social Worker revealed the grievance form was updated on 1st of October 2023 and all the department supervisors had access to the form and had access to enter the information into the system. The social worker denied having the grievance form readily accessible to residents and to residents' family members, stated they would need to go address their concerns with a department supervisor and they would fill it out for them, and the corresponding department head would address it. The families/residents can file a Grievance without them having to complete a form. The Grievance form can be completed by the facility when they become aware of any concern. Record review of facility policy titled Complaints/Grievances Process revised June 6, 2023, in part read the facility leadership will support the resident's right to voice complaints/grievances to the facility of other agencies/entities that hear grievances regarding concerns they have about services and treatment received including but not limited to the following: treatment, care, advance care directives, management of funds, lost of articles, services related to returning to the community, behavior of other patient/residents, violation or resident rights, environmental issues, and behavior of staff.
