Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure that a resident had access to necessary vision services, specifically eyeglasses. The resident reported to staff that their glasses had been missing since returning from a hospital visit the previous year and stated that they had repeatedly asked staff for assistance in obtaining new glasses. Observations on two separate occasions confirmed that the resident did not have glasses. Medical record review showed that the resident had been seen by an eye doctor, who documented that the resident was assigned readers, but the resident still did not have glasses at the time of the survey. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident did not have glasses.
