Residents Affected - Few (Resident in wheelchair) said he/she never liked me and I told him/her the same was mutual. (Third Resident) was blocking the elevator so I couldn't leave and go to my floor. I finally told him/her to please move and then he/she did.
Grievance #2 indicated: On 2/23/25 the security guard started accusing me of staring with (Resident in wheelchair from Grievance form one) and wouldn't listen to me. He did it so unprofessional cause other residents heard him.

an appointment with a GI doctor but it is difficult since she does not have Resident #92's admission medical records. Unit Secretary #1 said she was unsure if the facility has obtained Resident #92's medical records yet.
During an interview on 2/26/25 at 8:50 A.M., the Medical Records Coordinator said she does not believe that Resident #92's was admitted to this facility with his/her past medical records.

F 0600 During a follow up interview on 2/26/25 at 10:28 A.M., just under two hours since the last interview, Unit Secretary #1 said she was able to get Resident #92 a pending appointment for a GI doctor in about 5 weeks Level of Harm - Actual harm from today, 22 minutes away from this facility. This was done after the facility provided the surveyor with Resident #92's medical records which were found in a drawer in the Medical Record Coordinator's office. Residents Affected - Some
During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator in Training (AIT) on 2/27/25 at 8:33 A.M., they said referrals should be made as soon as possible but no specialty doctor would see Resident #92 until his/her medical records were available. The surveyor, DON and AIT reviewed the coversheet of Resident #92's hospital paperwork and they were not aware Resident #92's medical records were available
in August, 2024. The DON said the facility had a delay in trying to contact a GI doctor for Resident #92's colostomy reversal and the facility dropped the ball on this and it should have been done sooner if the paperwork has been available since August. The DON and AIT said it is neglectful to not follow up on this concern.
During a telephone interview with the interim Unit Secretary that was covering for Unit Secretary #1 while
she was away from the building on 2/27/25 at 9:19 A.M., the interim Unit Secretary said she was in the role from September 2024 through January 2025. The interim Unit Secretary said Medical Records had Resident #92's hospital medical records before she started covering as interim Unit Secretary, but no one told her the paperwork was in the facility until right before Christmas time.
Despite Resident #92's medical records being in the facility prior to September 2024 and despite the interim Unit Secretary being made aware that the medical records were in the facility just before Christmas time, an appointment with a GI doctor was not made until over ten months since the MD order was first written and one year since the resident first inquired about the colostomy reversal.
