This is true for one (1) of two (2) complaint concerns reviewed. Resident identifier: #239. Facility census: 140. Findings included: a) Resident #239 Resident #239 filed a grievance with Social Services, (SS) #111, on 02/14/19 concerning a threat made by facility staff that she would be discharged if she did not go to an appointment scheduled for this same day. In addition, Resident #239 complained she did not believe the nursing staff should give [MEDICATION NAME] to the van driver to dispense to her, while out of the facility. On 02/14/19 the complaint/grievance form was signed by SS #111, and the risk manager registered nurse (RN), #136. The DON signed the resolution section of the complaint/grievance on 02/15/19 documenting the grievance was resolved and the complainant is satisfied. There no evidence the facility thoroughly investigated these allegations. On 02/25/19 RN #136, sent an e-mail to the DON an information statement regarding completing an investigation, by gathering witness statements and determining if Resident #239's rights were violated. On 07/31/19 at 4:00 PM the director of nursing expressed a thorough investigation did not occur related to the allegation of threatening to discharge Resident #239, and to medication being sent with the van driver. On 08/05/19 at 3:58 PM the DON agreed sending medication with the van driver was inappropriate.	2020-09-01
