Based on confidential resident group interview, resident interview, and staff interview, the facility failed to provide an ongoing program of activities designed to meet the interests and psychosocial well-being of each resident. This was evident by six (6) of eight (8) residents in attendance at a confidential group meeting who reported they were unable to participate in outings as a group and for one (1) of twenty (20) sampled residents (#6) who reported being unable to participate in outings as desired. Facility census: 112. Findings include: a) During a confidential resident group meeting on 03/02/10 at 10:30 a.m., six (6) of eight (8) residents in attendance reported they had never been able to attend outings as a group outside the facility as they desired. When asked, several of the residents reported they would like to visit the local Senior Center but noted transporting more than one (1) or two (2) residents in wheelchairs on the transit bus would be a problem. Group members stated the facility had no van of its own. During a confidential interview with an employee on 03/03/10 at approximately 3:00 p.m., this employee confirmed no group outings had been held for residents for at least the past two (2) years. Interview with the assistant activity director (Employee #6), on 03/04/10 at 11:15 a.m. revealed, only a few residents over the past few years have asked her about having a group outing. She stated the activities department has contacted the Marion County Transit Authority to transport individual residents for such things as shopping at Wal-Mart when requested, but the facility has not requested the Transit Authority to transport a group of residents at the same time. Interview with the activity director (Employee #10), on 03/04/10 at 2:45 p.m., revealed there have been no group outings since she has been working at the facility in July 2009. She recalled last year, in August or September, residents mentioned wanting group outings. However, she said, due to difficulties with transporting numerous residents on the Transit Authority bus, associated legalities, the need for having enough staff to accompany the residents, etc., she explained to residents the barriers to having group outing. Since that time, Employee #10 reported no one had mentioned it to her again. She acknowledged the facility had no van or bus of their own for transporting residents. She stated she would be glad to put this request for group outings "on the table" at the next resident council meeting to see what residents want and to see if the facility can help meet those needs. b) Resident #6 Resident #6's medical record, when reviewed on 03/03/10 at 10:00 a.m., revealed a [AGE] year old male who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The physician determined the resident possessed the capacity to understand and make his own medical decisions. The resident was non-ambulatory due to paralysis and utilized a motorized wheelchair for mobility. This alert and oriented resident, when interviewed on 03/03/10 at 2:30 p.m., revealed he attended some of the planned activities offered by the facility. The resident stated the facility did not provide outings and stated, "I wish they would. It would be nice to get out once in a while." The resident reported that, if the facility would offer facility outings, "I would like to go." . | 2015-07-01 |
