F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interviews and record review, the facility did not ensure preferences were honored and dignity maintained for one resident (#8) out of eight sampled residents. Findings included: An interview was conducted on 2/17/25 at 12:03 p.m. with Resident #8. The resident stated on several occasions she requested to only have female care givers for incontinence care. She said there were some male caregivers she did not want to care for her, and they were often assigned to her. Review of the admission Record showed Resident #8 was admitted [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including fracture of left lower leg, major depressive disorder, and morbid obesity. Review of Resident #8's care plan showed a Focus area: I need assistance with activities of daily living related to atrial fibrillation, fibromyalgia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2, and left lower leg fracture, initiated 6/6/24. Interventions included resident prefers female care givers, updated on 9/3/24. Review of Resident #8's Minimum Data Set (MDS), Section C - Cognitive Patterns, showed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, indicating she was mentally intact. Review of facility assignment sheets showed the resident was on the assignment of male caregivers on 1/8/25, 1/18/25, 2/14/25, and 2/15/25. An interview was conducted on 2/17/25 at 12:53 p.m. with Staff D, Registered Nurse (RN) and Unit Manager (UM). She said there are a few residents on the unit, including Resident #8, that have a preference for female caregivers. She said Resident #8 is ok with a couple of the male care givers but does not want certain male CNAs. She confirmed Resident #8's care plan said preference for female caregivers. The UM reviewed the facility assignment sheets and confirmed the male staff members assigned to Resident #8 included some of the male providers the resident requested to not have care for her. She stated doing the unit assignments and ensuring the residents who prefer female do not get male providers is a team effort. She said some certified nursing assistance (CNA's) have their normal assignments and she will fill in the open spots with agency nurses or additional staff. She said the nurses sometimes do the CNA's assignments, especially on the night shift. An interview was conducted on 2/17/25 at 1:15 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON). She confirmed Resident #8 is care planned for female caregivers. The DON reviewed the facility assignment sheets (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.
