Failure to Provide Person-Centered In-Room Activities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide activities that met the interests and needs of one resident who preferred in-room activities and did not attend group activities. The resident reported that the last activity provided was a word search packet with crayons and pencils, which occurred several months prior. Review of the resident's care plan indicated a preference for spending time in her room and specified that she should be offered room visit check-ins four times weekly to empower her to make independent leisure choices. However, documentation and interviews confirmed that no one-to-one activity room visits had been provided since the last recorded instance, despite the care plan requirements. The Activities Director acknowledged the lack of person-centered activities and confirmed the gap in service.
