Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure one (Resident #2) of a in-facility census of 65 residents was treated with dignity and respect. Findings include: During an interview on 06/03/19 at 10:09 A.M., Resident #2 stated staff were very rude sometimes and did not listen to what she had to say. Review of Resident #2's medical record revealed [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #2 was able to make herself understood and was usually able to understand others. Resident #2 was assessed as moderately cognitively impaired and required supervision for eating. On 06/03/19 at 12:18 P.M., Resident #2 arrived in the dining room. Resident #2 was served baked fish with lemon and a side of butter, watermelon, and a broccoli/cheese/rice casserole. Resident #2 attempted to get attention of staff several time by waving her hand before State tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #100 asked what was wrong. Resident #2 responded the fish was just stringy. STNA #100 offered Resident #2 a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. When STNA #100 asked dietary staff about an alternate, someone (not seen but heard) replied the fish was what Resident #2 requested. Resident #2 stated she did not like that kind of fish. Resident #2 complained, see when you don't like something you can't get anything else. STNA #100 asked Resident #2 if she wanted breaded fish and Resident #2 agreed stating maybe it would be better. At 12:27 P.M., Resident #2 was provided a piece of breaded fish and Resident #2 stated no and reported she did not like the cod, stating staff should know that. At 12:32 P.M., Resident #2 continued to complain about the fish crumbling but ate her watermelon. At 12:34 P.M., Dietary Staff #101 approached Resident #2 and asked Resident #2 what she wanted to eat. Resident #2 responded she did not like the cod but liked other kinds of fish. Resident #2 asked if salmon was available and Dietary staff #101 stated the salmon was frozen. Dietary staff #101 stated it would take a long time to defrost salmon and she would see what she could do. Resident #2 agreed to wait. On 06/03/19 at 12:41 P.M., Dietary Manager #102 approached Resident #2 and sat down beside her. Resident #2 voiced her concerns about the food she had been served. Dietary Manager #102 stated he had sent the cook down to talk to Resident #2 that morning and fixed the fish the way she wanted. Resident #2 stated she had told staff previously she did not like cod. Dietary Manager #102 stated cod was what was on the menu. Dietary Manager #102 informed Resident #2 he had taken sole fish out and and it would take 15-20 minutes to thaw in cold water. Resident #2 stated she just wanted a piece of fried fish with no breading. On 06/03/19 at 12:49 P.M., while Dietary Manager #102 and Resident #2 sat talking, Clinical Social Worker #103 approached, leaning over the table, and asked, in what sounded like accusatory manner, if Resident #2 was having a scene. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated staff spent a long time in Resident #2's room earlier that day talking about the fish. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated to Resident #2 if staff was fixing cod for everybody else they could not fix salmon just for her. Resident #2 stated when she filled out her menu she crossed out cod and wrote in salmon. At 12:55 P.M., Dietary Manager #102 stated he would provide Resident #2's fish when it was done. At 12:57 P.M., Dietary Staff #101 arrived with a piece of fish and Resident #2 stated it looked better. Resident #2 stated she appreciated it although she did make the statement the fish was soft but not crisp. Dietary Manager #102 stated he was going to leave and stated Resident #2 was not always going to get everything she wanted all the time. Resident #2 asked if fish was the only thing she got and if it was considered a meal. Dietary Staff #101 asked if Resident #2 wanted the broccoli and cheese casserole like she had been served earlier but had not eaten and asked if Resident #2 wanted noodles. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated those were her two options. Resident #2 agreed to try noodles. Dietary Manager #102 excused himself. As Dietary Staff #101 walked away, she stated here I go again. Resident #2 complained she did not believe the fish was cooked thoroughly and Clinical Social Worker #103 disagreed, stating there were too many people to cook for to cook everything exactly as everyone wanted. Resident #2 responded, stating maybe she was in the wrong place as there were too many people to provide food according to her preference. At 1:07 P.M., Dietary Staff #101 delivered the noodles. At 1:08 P.M., Resident #2 stated to Dietary Staff #101 that now she would remember she did not like cod fish and Dietary Staff #101 stated she already knew that. Resident #2 stated she liked the noodles. At 1:10 P.M., STNA #100 had approached and sat at the table with Resident #2 and Clinical Social Worker #103. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated it was impossible to please everyone. On 06/03/19 at 1:11 P.M., Clinical Social Worker #103 was interviewed and stated Resident #2 was never going to be pleased. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated she worked for Jewish Family Services and has visited with Resident #2 since her admission focusing on the appropriate way to interact with others. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated she was walking down the hall when someone told her Dietary Manager #102 was in the dining room because Resident #2 was having a hissy fit. Clinical Social Worker #2 verified after she had approached Resident #2 and asked about her creating a scene (without taking the time to observe what was happening) she discovered Resident #2 was actually calm. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated maybe it was an assumption on her part when she heard Dietary Manager #102 was speaking with Resident #2 as he was not usually in the dining room. Clinical Social Worker #103 was informed eye rolling had been noted between staff during the conversations with Resident #2 and the statement from Dietary Staff #101 regarding Here I go again when she left to prepare noodles. Clinical Social Worker #103 agreed interactions could have been more respectful. Clinical Social Worker #103 stated she had spoken to Resident #2 about showing more appreciation or if she was more pleasant when asking for things staff would be happy to do things for her. Clinical Social Worker #103 agreed regardless of Resident #103's behavior, staff were expected to show respect and consideration. Clinical Social Worker #103 repeated stated Resident #2 could not be pleased.
