1796	CEDAR WOOD VILLA	275053	1 S OAKS	RED LODGE	MT	59068	2016-05-12	243	E	0	1	XO7K11	Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to provide residents with privacy for meetings without interference from the life enrichment department. Specifically, the resident council had not been encouraged to obtain or hold an election for a resident president since 2010; the facility failed to ensure all staff attending the resident council meetings were at the group's invitation. This has the potential to affect all residents participating in the group council. Findings include: During the group interview on 5/10/16 at 10:00 a.m., the attending resident council members stated they were not aware they could elect a resident to preside over the monthly group meetings. The attending members of the group interview, stated they had a resident president but since she left there has never been another resident president. The attending residents stated the activities director performed the role of the resident president. The attending residents were not aware of their right to participate in the group meetings in private and having staff attend only by invitation from the group. During the group interview, several residents stated they were at times hesitant to express concerns regarding certain issues when the staff were present at the meeting. The group used the example of expressing concerns with the food at group meetings because the dietary manager had attended the entire meeting instead of attending only a portion of the meeting and leaving. During an interview on 5/10/16 at 12:13 p.m., staff member J stated the group council has opted not to have a resident president since 2010. Staff member J stated she opened the meetings with any follow up concerns from the last meeting minutes, then addressed any new business. Staff member J stated she did the duties of the resident president. Staff member J stated the group council had a resident president but has not had a new president since she left in 2010. Staff member J stated she replaced the former activities director whom attended the group council as the group council president and had been acting as the group president since she started as the activities director. Staff member J stated she did not have a former invite from the group council to participate in the group council meetings and to proceed as the acting group president. A review of the group council meeting minutes from 4/2015 to 4/2016 showed staff member J participated in all resident council meetings.	2020-04-01
