Complaint Investigation
Deficiencies: 2
Date: Aug 16, 2023
Visit Reason
The inspection was conducted due to a complaint investigation regarding the facility's failure to ensure residents' rights to organize and participate in resident/family groups, and failure to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation revealed that 6 residents were unaware that meeting minutes for the August 31, 2023 resident council meeting were created prior to the meeting. Interviews with the Activity Director (AD), Director of Nursing (DON), Executive Director (ED), and staff confirmed the premature creation of meeting minutes.

The facility failed to ensure that residents had the right to organize and participate in resident groups, as meeting minutes were created prior to the actual meetings, affecting 6 residents. Additionally, the facility failed to implement a comprehensive care plan for pressure wounds for one resident, resulting in the resident not wearing prescribed pressure-relieving boots, placing her at risk for skin breakdown.
