The facility failed to offer her the mechanical soft diet prior to serving her the pureed carrots. During an interview on 12/13/16 at 12:00 p.m., staff member Z was asked why resident #1 received a pureed diet without getting mechanical soft textured food first.

Staff member C stated that resident #1 was discharged because the facility could not meet his needs per staff member B. Staff member C stated that resident #1 did not have an initial discharge plan, as he was considered to be a long term resident, and could not return to live in the community. Staff member C stated that after the resident left the facility, and had been taken to the hospital, the hospital had not notified the facility directly when resident #1 was discharged from the hospital. Review of the resident's Discharge Return Anticipated MDS, with an ARD date of [DATE], showed in Section Q, under Discharge Plan, A was coded as a 1 which is for a yes meaning active discharge planning was already occurring for the resident to return to the community. The MDS contradicted what staff member C had stated relating to long term care placement.

During an observation and interview of the resident group meeting held on 10/11/17 at 10:55 a.m., resident #12 said she felt there was a need for greater communication between the group council members and the facility administration. She said during resident council meetings the residents have been given only a short time to express their concerns, and have not been given any time for discussion. She said the meeting minutes have been being taken by a facility staff member, who relayed the resident concerns to the administration or other facility departments. She said the resident group members did not hear back about their expressed concerns. The group was not sure their complaints were even being heard. She described the group meetings as rushed and driven by the agenda as verbalized by the staff person taking the meeting minutes. The meeting was not ran by the residents.

During an observation and interview of the resident group meeting held on 10/11/17 at 10:55 a.m., resident #13 said that the reason he had quit coming to the resident group council meetings was because the facility did not respond to the resident's complaints.

He was not ambulatory, secondary to lower extremity weakness, and required staff assistance to transfer. During an observation of the facility's South Dining Room, on 10/10/17 at 3:45 p.m., resident #4 was observed in his Broda chair with his feet resting on the lower footrests.
