Based on interview and Resident Council Meeting Minutes review, the facility failed to ensure residents were provided the opportunity to exercise their rights as a citizen related to voting. Voting rights were not maintained nor promoted for 6 of 12 residents identified by the facility as alert and oriented. (R26, 32, 34, 45, 77, and 79.) Findings include: A group interview was conducted on 05/22/12 with 12 residents whom the facility had identified as alert, oriented, and credible historians. Interview with the group revealed that 6 of the 12 residents wanted to vote; however, the facility had not assisted them, either help with voter registration, making arrangements for transportation to the polls, or obtaining absentee ballots. Interview with R32 revealed, They used to help you, in making arrangements to vote, and R34 added, No one approached me. Interview on 05/23/12 at 2:40pm with the Social Services (SS) Director revealed that Activities staff was currently responsible for assisting with voting. She related that she used to attend the Resident Council meetings, and would provide information about voting to the residents. The SS Director related that if the need for assistance with voting was still being discussed in Resident Council, information about it should be included in the minutes of the meetings. Review of all Resident Council meeting minutes for 2012 revealed the topic of need for assistance with voting had not been discussed. On 05/22/12 at 3:10pm, interview with the Activities Director (AD) revealed that some residents in the facility were registered to vote, and several had sent in absentee ballots in the last election, two weeks prior to the survey date. She added that residents are asked upon admission if they are interested in voting. Further interview with the AD on 05/22/12 at 3:35pm revealed that she had checked the records of each of the residents present in group who had related they were interested in voting. She confirmed both R34 and R45 were registered to vote, and stated staff had not approached them to see if they preferred an absentee ballot or to be transported to their local polling place. The AD related that other residents in the group were not registered to vote at the time of their admission assessment, and there was no documented evidence of further discussion with the residents regarding assistance with their voting process. |
