9854 THE COTTAGES AT BRUSHY CREEK 425004 101 COTTAGE CREEK CIRCLE GREER SC 29650 2011-05-18 249 E 0 1 B6NE11 On the days of the survey, based observations and interview, the facility failed to ensure that the Activity Director implemented and monitored the provisions of the activity program for residents to assure that was on-going and met the needs of the residents. The findings included: An interview on 5/18/11 at approximately 10:30 AM with Activity Director (AD) and the facility's Administrator revealed the facility attempts to have weekly worship services at the cottages. The AD stated trying to maintain a program of activities has always been difficult at the cottages. The AD further stated the CNAs (Certified Nursing Aides) in each cottage had the responsibility of providing a program of activities. The surveyor asked the AD when was the last time an in-service was provided to the CNAs related to structured program of activities in the cottages? The AD stated the last in-service was provided at the end of 2009 and the early part 2010. The AD was asked if she had been able to monitor the program of activities in the cottages to determine if they were being provided. The AD stated "no". The AD further stated she did not have anyone to assist her in providing a ongoing activity program in each cottage. The AD was asked about the posted "Sleepy Tea" activity that was to occur every day at 7 PM. The AD stated the "Sleepy Tea" was when the staff would give the residents tea to "help them from being anxious". The AD stated it was like to "study" to seem if it would calm the residents down. The AD stated the activities in each cottage were the same. The AD stated games, cards and books are provided for the residents. However, based on repeated observations on the days of the survey, there were no structured activities observed to be in place. 2014-10-01
