Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.

Based on review of facility documentation, clinical records, staff interviews and resident interviews it was determined the facility failed to submit, document and/or follow-up on concerns/grievances presented by staff and residents (staff and residents wished to remain anonymous).Finding include:Review of Federal Regulation 483.10(i)(1) The resident has the right to voice grievances to the facility or other agency or entity that hears grievances without discrimination or reprisal and without fear of discrimination or reprisal. Such grievances include those with respect to care and treatments which has been furnished as well as that which has not been furnished, the behavior of staff and of other residents, and other concerns regarding their LTC facility stay.Review of facility policy, Skilled Nursing Facility Grievance Policy dated 1/27/25, revealed the facility is committed to maintaining transparent, fair, and accessible grievance process. Every grievance will be addressed promptly and appropriately, in accordance with federal and state regulations.

Residents and their representative must be assured that: They can submit grievances orally or in writing; Their concerns will be investigated and responded to promptly; They will not face discrimination, reprisal, or retaliation; They will receive written notice of grievance outcomes within required timeframes.Review of the last six months of grievances revealed only three grievances filed. One grievance from March was from a visitor that sent negative feedback for a smell and T.V. and controller not working. In April a Grievance form was completed that should have been an incident report with an investigation done due to resident not receiving medication or vitals as ordered. The last Grievances were from July regarding a resident accusing another resident of physical harm (running over toes and ankle with wheelchair) which led to an investigation. The second grievance was a son that called in asking for records to be sent to an attorney,

the attorney had not sent in a request and would need to do so. These grievances were resolved.Interview

on 8/21/25, at 10:30 a.m. with Resident Resident R8 and Resident R9 revealed that they had filed both verbal and written grievances about another resident (male) being aggressive towards female residents and no actions were taken, did not receive a written confirmation that anything was being done and were threatened by staff to stop filing grievances and to quit complaining. Resident Resident R8 and Resident R9 revealed that at one point there were no forms at the grievance boxes to fill out, thus the grievances could not remain anonymous because they had to be submitted verbally.Interview on 8/21/25, at 10:43 a.m. with Employee E4 and E5 revealed that they had attempted to file grievances about a resident and were told that if they continued there would be consequences to them, that they would lose their jobs. Employee E4 and E5 stated that they started to refuse to file grievances for residents because they were afraid, they would be accused of complaining too much.During an interview on 8/22/25, at 2:50 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility failed to address concerns from staff and residents.28 Pa.
