Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents were assisted out of bed in a timely manner to attend scheduled Sunday religious services. Interviews with the Activities Director and Activities Assistant revealed that this issue occurs every weekend, with 1-2 residents unable to attend services each week because nursing staff do not provide assistance out of bed in time. Both staff members reported that they did not inform the Nursing Home Administrator about the recurring problem. Additionally, a resident confirmed missing a recent Sunday service due to not being assisted out of bed before the scheduled time, despite staff being aware of her need to be up before 9:30 a.m. These findings were confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator.
