personal control over choices and cultural preference. 'Culture' is the conceptual system that structures the way that people view the world-it is the particular set of beliefs, norms, and values that influence ideas about the nature of relationships, the way people live their lives, and the way people organize the world. 'Cultural Competency' is defined as a developmental process in which individuals or institutions achieve increasing levels of awareness, knowledge, and skills along a cultural competence continuum. Cultural competence involves valuing diversity, conducting self-assessments, avoiding stereotypes, managing the dynamics of difference, and acquiring and institutionalizing cultural knowledge, and adapting to diversity and cultural contexts in communication. 'Effective communication' describes a process of dialogue between individuals. The skills include speaking to others in a way they can understand and active listening and

observation of verbal and non-verbal cues. Understanding what the resident is trying to communicate is essential to giving a response. Additionally, effective communication ensures that information provided to

the resident is provided in a form and manner that the resident can access and understand, including a language that the resident can understand. The facility will provide sufficient guidance for staff, including temporary staff, on how to communicate and deliver care for the resident. Direct care staff will be trained on effective communication that reflects the needs of the resident population and needs of the staff and will correspond with the Facility Assessment. A review of the facility's Resident and Family grievances policy dated revised 01/2026, revealed: .
