Failure to Provide Scheduled Resident Activities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an ongoing program of activities designed to meet the interests and physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of residents in four of eight resident areas. During a resident group meeting, multiple residents reported that activities did not always occur as scheduled, citing short staffing as a contributing factor. Review of the facility's activity calendar showed a scheduled activity for the afternoon, but direct observations on the specified date and time revealed that no activities were occurring on South 2, South 3, South 4, or [NAME] 4 units. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that scheduled activities are expected to occur but was unable to describe what the scheduled 'activity on unit' entailed for those resident areas.
