Summary
The facility failed to provide reasonable accommodation for a resident's need regarding a non-functioning clock in the resident's room. Over the course of several days, the resident reported to staff that the clock was not working and requested assistance to have it fixed. Despite these requests, the clock remained non-functional during three separate observations by the surveyor. Both the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing were made aware of the issue, and the Maintenance Director acknowledged the need for repair, but the deficiency persisted as the clock was not fixed during the survey period.
