Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to honor the right to self-determination (making
own decisions) nor ensured one out of three sampled residents (Resident 1) was treated with respect and
dignity, when Licensed Nurse (LN) B touched Resident 1 without consent.This failure resulted in Resident 1
feeling she was not treated with respect and dignity and that her rights were violated.Findings:A review of
Resident 1s face sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the
resident) indicated she was admitted to the facility in April of 2025 and was self-responsible (taking
ownership of one's actions and decisions).During an interview on 7/22/25 at 3:00 p.m., Resident 1 stated
there was an incident when LN B had dragged her from the floor in the hallway back to her bed. Resident 1
stated at the time of incident, she was in a lot of pain and had laid down on a blanket in the hallway, as she
believed it would help relieve her pain. Resident 1 stated LN B had grabbed her on the side by her armpits
and dropped her onto her bed. Resident 1 stated while LN B was grabbing her off the floor she was
repeatedly yelling, do not touch me! I do not give you permission to touch me! Let go of me! Resident 1
stated she also told LN B to call the police, to which LN B did not comply. Resident 1 stated LN B had
completely disregarded her rights not to be touched without her consent and had not treated her with
dignity and respect.During an interview on 7/22/25 at 3:23 p.m., LN B stated he recalled an incident,
around the time he was giving Resident 1 pain medication, where Resident 1 had laid down on a blanket on
the floor in the hallway. LN B stated Resident 1 would not get up from the floor when he asked and verified
he had lifted Resident 1 up from the floor and took her to her bed. LN B confirmed Resident 1 had told him
not to touch her and had repeated that she did not consent for him to touching her throughout the incident.
LN B acknowledged Resident 1 also told him to call the police but he had not. LN B stated that in hindsight,
he could have handled the situation better and should not have touched Resident 1 without her
consent.During an interview on 7/22/25 at 3:44 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she was aware
Resident 1 alleged LN B had been physically abusive towards her during an incident when Resident 1 was
lying on the floor in the hallway and LN B had taken to her bed. The DON stated she was not aware that
Resident 1 had asked LN B not to touch her. The DON verified, when Resident 1 asked LN B not to touch
her, LN B should have complied in respect to Resident 1's rights. The DON added, there were other ways to
transfer Resident 1 from the floor to the bed.During an interview on 7/22/25 at 3:50 p.m., Unlicensed Staff
D stated if a resident told a staff not to touch them, staff should not touch the resident. Unlicensed Staff D
added, touching a resident without their consent was a violation of their rights.During an interview on
7/22/25 at 3:53 p.m., LN C stated if a resident said they did not give you consent to touch them, then you
should not touch them. LN B stated if you touch a resident without their consent, they could feel their rights
were not respected and they were violated.During an interview on 7/22/25 at 3:56 p.m., LN E stated if a
resident did not give you permission to touch them and told you not to touch them, regardless of the
