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.
