32 | (2) residents interviewed stated the activities were okay, with some activities they did like and some they did not like. (2) staff interviewed stated the activities provided were education such as True or False, Brain Busters, Guess that Tune and Trivia games. Additional staff and resident interviews were unable to be conducted due to facility closure. Activity schedule and calendar revealed a variety of activities such as Fun Facts, Trivia, Left, Right, Center, Puzzles, Card Games, BINGO and live music. Therefore the based on interview and record review the allegation that facility activities were no education was found to be unsubstantiated.
“Facility staff did not assist residents with planned activities.”
It was alleged that residents were not encouraged or assisted to attend activities at the facility. The Department interviewed (2) staff members who revealed residents were aware of the activities being provided and were able to attend the activities. (1) staff stated they would send activity calendar and flyers to residents and go door to door to inform residents on the activities scheduled. However (1) staff interviewed revealed activities were not being held when staffing levels were low.
(5) facility residents were interviewed, which revealed (1) of (5) residents stated residents are not encouraged to attend the activities and when activities were scheduled they had to follow safety precautions such as socially distancing and wearing personal protective equipment. (3) of the (5) residents stated the facility was experiencing staffing shortages at this time, were informed on the activities by staff, and participated when they chose to.
Activity schedules and calendars were shared at the time the complaint was received showing activities were advertised to facility residents. Therefore, based on interview and record review the allegation that staff do not assist residents with planned activities is found to be unsubstantiated at this time. Although the allegations may have happened or are valid, there is no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur, therefore the allegations are unsubstantiated at this time. An exit interview was unable to be conducted, therefore a copy of this report was emailed and mailed to the last addresses on file.
