This was true for 8 of 8 residents (#3, #8, #17, #26, #36, #45, #60, and #64) who participated in the Resident Group interview. The deficient practice had the potential to cause psychosocial harm for residents frustrated by the perception their concerns were not valued or addressed by the facility. Findings include: The facility's Grievance policy, revised on 1/2018, documented the facility would make prompt efforts to resolve grievances, including Resident Council concerns, and to keep residents notified of progress toward resolution. Resident Council minutes, dated 2/28/19, documented complaints of cold meals and coffee, and long wait times for response to call lights. Resident Council minutes, dated 3/28/19, documented the residents wanted follow through with the issues they talked about in the meetings and still wanted hot coffee. The facility did not document what actions were taken to resolve the concerns identified at the 2/28/19 meeting. On 4/10/19 at 10:10 AM, during the Resident Group interview, Residents #3, #8, #17, #26, #36, #45, #60, and #64 said the food concerns were not addressed, the food was still cold, and did not taste good. Residents #3, #26, #36, #45, #60, and #64 said the call light concern was not addressed and was still an issue. On 4/11/19 at 8:52 AM, the Resident Council Liaison said she emailed the Resident Council minutes and concerns to the department head so they could respond back to her. She said not all of the department heads responded back to the concerns. On 4/11/19 at 2:18 PM, the DM said she received the Resident Council minutes, attempted to fix the concerns, but did not respond to the emails or notify the Resident Council Liaison or the Resident Council of her response. On 4/11/19 at 2:44 PM, the DON said he received the Resident Council minutes, had completed call light audits due to the concerns, and verbally reported the results to the Resident Council Liaison and to the Resident Council President. The DON said he had not considered the concerns from the Resident Council as grievances.	2020-09-01
