49	HANDMAKER HOME FOR THE AGING	35016	2221 NORTH ROSEMONT BOULEVARD	TUCSON	AZ	85712	2016-10-06	241	D	0	1	VEV011	Based on observation, staff interviews, and policy and procedures, the facility failed to promote care for residents in a manner that enhances each resident's dignity and respect, by failing to offer residents condiments with their meals and by failing to promptly clean a resident after a beverage spill. Findings include: A dining observation was conducted on (MONTH) 3, (YEAR) at 11:45 a.m., on the secured dementia unit. Prior to the start of the lunch meal, one resident was observed to spill a can of soda on her clothing and on the table where she was seated. The resident was observed to call out I need some help over here, please. One CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) responded to the resident's call for help and proceeded to wipe up the soda spill from the table. However; the CNA neglected to clean or offer to change the resident's wet clothing. The resident ate her meal in wet clothing. In addition, during this meal observation no condiments, including salt and pepper were offered to the residents. An interview was conducted on (MONTH) 4, (YEAR) at 12:40 p.m., with a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse/staff #177). She stated that salt and pepper and other condiments are provided to residents if they ask for it. She stated that if a resident was unable to request any condiments and was eating good, then the food must be alright and the condiments would not be offered. Another interview was conducted on (MONTH) 4, (YEAR) at 12:45 p.m., with a CNA (staff #224). She stated that she had not cleaned the resident after the soda spill, because it was a crazy day. She stated that she should have cleaned and changed the resident right after the spill. An interview was conducted on (MONTH) 4, (YEAR) at 2:30 p.m., with the DON (Director of Nursing/staff #161). She stated that all residents should have been offered condiments for their meal. She also stated that the resident who spilled the soda should have been cleaned and changed, since she would want clean, dry clothing on for her meal. A facility policy titled Condiments, Food Baskets and Food Items at the Table included, Individuals who are able should be allowed to self-select items such as condiments, bread and crackers. Condiments placed on the tables for meal service will be monitored for diet compliance to prescribed physician prescribed diets .by designated facility staff during meal service. The facility was unable to provide a written policy regarding the care of residents during a meal.	2020-09-01
