This practice affected three (3) of three (3) residents who smoke in this facility. Interviews conducted with Residents #217, #68, and #150, revealed the facility had decided to implement a non-smoking policy both in the facility and on the grounds. It was also discovered during a review of Resident Council minutes this new rule had not been taken to the Resident Council prior to imposing the new policy and presenting the three (3) smoking residents with the notification. Resident identifiers: #217, #68, and #150. Facility census was 127.

The resident further indicated the facility nursing home administrator (NHA) (Employee #116) had provided the residents who smoke a written announcement of the new policy with the effective date of 09/10/12. This notified them they would have to stop smoking on that date. Resident # 217 stated she did not want to stop smoking.

During the interview, it was discovered there were three (3) smokers in this facility. b) Residents #68 and #150 Interviews conducted with Resident #68 and Resident #150, on 08/21/12 at 2:30 p.m., found they had also been given the non-smoking notice and informed they could receive assistance with giving up smoking.

It was observed the announcement of the new smoking policy had been distributed in the public and resident areas of the facility. c) During a review of the Resident Council Minutes for the months of April, May, June, and July 2012, it was discovered the new smoking policy had not been presented to the Resident Council.
