F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents' rights to personal privacy and confidentiality of his or her personal medical information, when meal tray tickets were found thrown into the general trash. This had the potential to compromise resident privacy and confidentiality for the 95 residents residing in the facility.During a concurrent observation and interview on 7/27/25, at 9:13 a.m., with the Dietary Aide (DA) in the kitchen, DA was observed throwing away residents' meal tickets into a garbage can. DA stated meal tickets that are left on meal trays are thrown into the kitchen garbage can and the garbage can is then later emptied into the outside garbage bin. DA confirmed the meal tickets contained resident's names and diet information and that anyone can access them after the meal tickets are dumped into the outside garbage bins. During an interview on 7/27/25, at 10:23 a.m., with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), the DS stated the expectation was for staff to remove meal tickets from the meal trays and collect them in the DS's office for the DS to later shred. The DS confirmed the meal tickets contained resident's names and diet orders, and if they are leaked or dumped outside, the personal information will be exposed to the public. During a review of the facility's document titled, Resident [NAME] of Rights, undated, indicated, Patients shall have the right:.confidential treatment of financial and health records and to approve or refuse their release, except as authorized by law.
