45 SANDIA RIDGE CENTER 325032 2216 LESTER DRIVE NE ALBUQUERQUE NM 87112 2018-03-14 557 E 0 1 YN7D11 Based on interview and observation the facility failed to treat 1 (R #39) of 1 (R #39) resident with respect and dignity when staff removed R #39's personal possessions from a dresser, placing them in a box while R #39 was out of the facility. This deficient practice created a feeling of frustration for not being asked about the removing the dresser and coming back to the facility and finding her belongings in a box. The findings are: [NAME] On 03/07/18 at 10:32 am, during an interview with R #39, she stated that around 2 or 3 months ago she was out at the hospital and while she was gone they took her dresser. She stated that when she returned from the hospital the dresser wasn't there and her personal items were in a box. She never received a explanation and was never offered another dresser. B. On 03/13/18 at 9:21 am, during an interview with CNA #3, she stated that she and another CNA did take the dresser from R #39's room. She stated that R #39 was out at the hospital when the dresser was taken and they placed some items in a box. She stated that they also threw out a lot of it because it was a bunch of papers and sugar packets. She also stated that R #39 was not notified because she was out at the hospital. C. On 03/13/18 at 10:32 am, an observation was made of R #39's room. It was observed that R #39 had a three drawer dresser and across from that there was box where R #39 stated the smaller dresser used to be. D. On 03/14/18 at 11:29 am, during an interview with RN #2 she stated that if a new resident coming into the facility needs a dresser or another piece of furniture than they (staff) would let maintenance know and they would get whatever was needed out of storage. RN #2 also stated that no you would never take it from another resident who was using it. If a resident is using it, it becomes their property. E. On 03/14/18 at 11:32 am, during an interview with the Maintenance Director, he stated that they do have furniture in storage that they will pull from if they need too. He stated that, he tries to have one dresser to one resident. He stated that staff will pull furniture from another resident if needed but there would be a conversation with that resident first. F. On 03/14/18 at 11:57 am, during an interview with the Administrator, she stated that they don't have a particular policy on the amount of furniture a resident can have just as long as it is not a fire hazard. They do have furniture in storage and if a resident requests a second dresser they would typically provide that. She stated that it would not be appropriate to pull furniture from a resident without them knowing and agreeing to it. 2020-09-01
