Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 2 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0557 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal possessions. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide care in a manner that promoted dignity and respect for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) when Resident 1 was observed spitting in hallways and was reported to open his bowels on the facility patio. This failure had the potential to minimize Resident 1's self esteem and to negatively impact the psychosocial well-being for other residents in the facility. Findings: During a review of Resident 1's clinical record, the record indicated Resident 1 was admitted in early 2023 with multiple diagnoses including Dementia (a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life). A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated assessment tool), Cognitive Patterns, dated 3/21/25, indicated Resident 1 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- tool to assess cognition) score of 3 out of 15 that indicated Resident 1 had severe cognitive impairment. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 12:36 p.m. with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA 1), CNA 1 stated Resident 1 has been observed having bowel movements on the outside patio. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 12:49 p.m. with Licensed Nurse 1 (LN 1), LN 1 stated Resident 2 had bowel movements outside often and acknowledged it could be stressful for other residents to see. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 1:08 p.m. with Licensed Nurse 3 (LN 3), LN 3 stated that Resident 1 goes to the bathroom outside often and spits on the floor throughout the facility. LN 3 further confirmed Resident 1 was involved in an altercation with another resident who saw him with his pants down in the patio. During an observation on 6/18/25 at 3:51 p.m. Resident 1 was observed walking independently in the hallway while spitting on the floor. During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/18/25 at 3:09 p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), the DON reviewed Resident 1's clinical record and stated there was no care plan or interventions related to Resident 1 having bowel movements outside and spitting on the facility floors. The DON further confirmed Resident 1 was involved in a physical altercation as a result of another resident seeing Resident 1 with his pants down in the patio.
