F 0585 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an interview on 4/1/2025 at 1:01 PM Resident #2's representative stated Resident #2 had lived at the facility since May 2025, and she was frustrated with the previous Administrator and the DON due to the poor communication and lack of acknowledging and resolving grievances. Resident #2's representative stated she and family had been making complaints directly to the previous administrator and the DON for months with no resolutions. Resident #2's representative stated she and family had been making complaints via text messages, emails, and verbally to the previous administrator and the DON. A record review of Resident #2's representatives text messages and emails to and from the previous Administrator and the DON between the time periods of February 2025 to March 2025 revealed: On 2/13/25 at 6:13 PM Resident #2's representative, sent a text message to the previous admin and the DON which revealed, Hi (previous Administrator), my (Resident #2) was just now needing some pain meds I told (Resident #2) lets go in and ring your bell. I was abruptly told she would not come (LVN L) if we pushed the button. (Resident #2) has told me she does not come at night, . this is gravely concerning. The DON replied, Hi ladies I am sorry this happened, and clearly this is not acceptable, so this will be addressed. who said LVN L would not come? . this is the first complaint I have ever gotten from her. The Previous Administrator responded Thank you for letting us know. We will address. An email sent to the DON from Resident #2's representative dated 2/24/2025 at 11:16 AM Hi (DON), I wanted to reach out because as you know, our (Resident #2) is extremely ill, and our (family member) has requested ambulance to come and pick him up to transfer him to the hospital. (facility's) PA is concerned also about him possibly having pneumonia. We are deeply upset and concerned about how the nursing staff, who see him daily and nightly, haven't seemed to recognize the significant changes in his condition-his inability to talk clearly, walk on his own or even transfer safely along with the horrid cough. It's especially alarming that they attempted to collect a urine sample by placing a doughnut in the toilet when he isn't even able to walk to the bathroom. This situation is unacceptable, and I'd appreciate your help in addressing it as soon as possible. Additionally, sic(name), the ADON, mentioned to my family members a couple of months ago, that your (other family members) get in the way. The reality is, if we don't advocate for our parents, things don't seem to get addressed in a timely manner. For example, I have been discussing my Resident #2's needs to restart PT with the DOR and (previous Administrator) for over a month due to his leg weakness, and now he has deteriorated to the point where he can no longer use his legs at all. We are simply trying to ensure our (Resident #2) receive the best care possible, and we need reassurance that these concerns will be taken seriously and addressed appropriately. Thank you for your time and attention to this. On Thursday 2/27/25, at 3:29 PM Resident #2's representative texted the DON with a complaint it revealed, (DON) this is (Resident #2's Representative) Tuesday morning I spoke with my (Resident #2's) hospitalist and she said that my (Resident #2) did have a bad kidney infection. There is a discrepancy here I do not understand . his symptoms of confusion, extremely slurred speech and inability to walk is the reason I requested that an ambulance be called. These symptoms were ignored. All we are asking is for you guys to acknowledge that the nurses on duty Sunday and Monday did not take care of business. The DON responded, I am not going to put blame on anyone nor sit her and argue about what a doctor did or didn't say I am simply stating (Resident #2's) labs show nothing of the sort nor did the dr. put that anywhere on his notes again if you do not feel that we can care properly for your parents I will be more than happy to send paper work to other facilities let me know thanks.
