Failure to Provide and Document Resident-Preferred Activities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an ongoing activity program tailored to a resident's personal preferences, as identified in the resident's Annual MDS assessment. The resident's care plan did not include her stated preferences for activities such as spiritual/religious activities, music, and reading materials. Documentation for several months showed no evidence that these preferred activities were offered or provided, and there was no record of activity participation or refusals for these preferences. During interviews, the resident reported not being offered in-room activities, including those she specifically desired, such as prayer, bible study, music, games, arts/crafts, and gardening. She also stated that staff did not engage with her in conversation or watch TV with her. The Activities Director confirmed the accuracy of the resident's preferences as documented in the MDS assessment and acknowledged that not all activities provided were documented in the resident's chart.
