59 SANDIA RIDGE CENTER 325032 2216 LESTER DRIVE NE ALBUQUERQUE NM 87112 2017-03-20 166 D 0 1 30NH11 Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a grievance for a missing purse was initiated for 1 (R #130) of 2 (R #130 and 58) residents reviewed for missing personal items. This deficient practice has the potential to result in feelings of anger and frustration due to the facility not looking into the missing purse. The findings are: [NAME] On 03/14/17 at 9:11 am, during an interview with R #130, she stated that her purse was missing and it had her identification and social security card in it. She stated that she did tell a staff member about the missing purse. B. On 03/16/17 at 8:30 am, during an interview with SSD (Social Services Director) and SSA (Social Services Assistant) the assistant stated that she had been told by R #130 about her missing purse. She stated that R #130 came to her and told her about a missing gray purse with a zipper on top. Then about an hour later she came back and told her that the missing purse was peach in color. The SSA stated that because of the variance in color and that she wasn't aware that R #130 had a purse, she didn't write up a grievance and/or investigate the missing purse. C. On 03/16/17 at 8:40 am, during an interview with the Business Office Manager, she stated that R #130 came to her and asked if anyone had turned in a missing purse and she told R #130, No, no one has turned in a missing purse. She stated that the business office is the lost and found for the building and that is why R #130 came to her. She stated that she didn't feel like it was worth writing a grievance over because she felt like it was more of a question about the purse than that someone had stolen her purse. D. On 03/16/17 at 9:15 am, during an interview with CNA (Certified Nurse Aide) #16, she stated that R #130 had not told her about a missing pure. CNA #16 stated that if R #130 had told her about a missing purse, she would have notified the nurse and that Social Services (SS) would have gotten involved and that SS would write up a grievance and investigate the missing item. She stated that it doesn't matter what the item might be, glasses, dentures or a book, SS would look into the missing item. CNA #16 stated that a missing purse would have been at the top of the list of things to investigate, if someone had a purse go missing. E.
