3967	FAIRMONT HEALTHCARE AND REHABILITATION CENTER	515189	130 KAUFMAN DRIVE	FAIRMONT	WV	26554	2017-06-30	241	D	0	1	25Q611	Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to assist and promote care for each resident in a manner that maintained or enhanced dignity and respect by ensuring a Resident #115 was seated in a manner to allow her to eat in a dignified manner. This practice had the potential to affect an isolated number of residents. Resident identifer: #115. Facility census: 115. Findings include: a) Resident #115 A dining observation on 06/27/17 at 12:12 p.m. noted Resident #115 sat at a table with three (3) other residents. When asked about the height of the table and if it was suitable for meal service, Resident #115 stated, I have a problem with the table, I can't reach it. I am too far back. Additional observations on Thursday 06/22/17 and Monday 06/26/17 during lunch, noted th resident sitting in the same position. She stated, I am too far back from the table, it is hard to get something to drink even though they have not brought my food yet. Resident #115 was seated in a high back wheelchair with front facing leg rests preventing her from being close up to the table due to the table having a metal middle pole with four legs extending for balance and stability. Resident #115 asked if the surveyor could find someone to fix the situation. She stated, They just park me here and never ask if I can reach anything. The Referral Manager/Social Worker (RM/SW) who was near by, was asked if if she was able to assist Resident #115 to be closer to the table to enable her to reach her drinks. The RM/SW asked the Social Worker (SW #127) for assistance to move the table. RM/SW asked Scheduler (Employee #131) to assist when she was called away for a telephone call. Employee #131 asked, Why are you moving the table when all you need to do is swing her leg rests to the side and she (Resident #115) will then be up to the table? Employee #131 proceeded to swing Resident #115's wheelchair leg rests to either side and she was able to reach her drinks without difficulty. SW #127 was asked why Resident #115 had not been positioned at her table. SW #127 stated, Well her tray isn't even here yet and they probably would have done it later. When asked why this was not done on previous dining observations when Resident #115 was not seated close to her table for her meal, SW #127 replied, Well it is your word against mine that it was not done. When asked if she was in the dining room on Thursday 06/22/17 and Monday 06/26/17 for lunch meal service, SW #127 proceeded to walk away. Immediately following this encounter, Resident #115 stated, They do swing the leg rests back sometimes so I can be closer, but it is not a permanent thing. I saw you in here yesterday and last week and was going to ask you about it because you were watching and writing things down so I thought you were someone important. Resident #41 (who was also seated at the table) stated, (Resident #115's first name) just sits like that sometimes because she gets tired of asking them to move her up to the table because everyone acts like it is huge chore. Residents #26 and #53 (who were also seated at the table) both nodded their heads in agreement, but did not reply. During a confidential interview, Employee #Z stated, She (Resident #115) should not have to ask to be moved up to the table. It should be the person who brought her to the dining room to adjust her chair so she can drink and eat comfortably without having to lean over so much to reach things, or whoever is in the dining room to ensure she is comfortable. Yes I saw you in there on Thursday (06/22/17) and yesterday (Monday 06/26/17) and admit that I either told someone to fix her or went myself because we were afraid you would see it and hoped that you didn't. But I guess I underestimated your observation skills.	2020-04-01
