at 12:07 PM, V9 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) was sitting at a table feeding R71 while R56 sat at the
same table without a food tray in front of her. R96 was brought over to the same table as R71 and R56 and
did not have a food tray in front of her. V9 stated they have early trays for the residents that need to be fed
and they feed those residents before other residents are given their food trays. At 12:18 PM, R56 was given
her food tray and was able to feed herself. The food trays were removed from the food cart and were
delivered to residents at different tables. Some residents were eating at the same table while others waited
for their food trays. R96 was sitting at the table with R71 who had finished eating and R56 who had just
received her tray. R96 stated she wanted her food and that she was hungry. R96 stated she needed to be
fed. V13 (Activity Aide) told R96 he would look for her tray of food but he could not feed her because he
was an activity aide. R96 yelled, Help me, Help me!
On 2/28/24 at 1:26 PM, V10 (Social Services/Unit Director) stated the kitchen sends early trays first. We
have a list of early trays, those people need assistance and supervision for feeding. The other trays come
after that. We are trying to group them in groups so people can eat together, its a dignity issue for sure.
On 2/29/24 at 1:20 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated the facility doesn't have a resident rights or dignity policy.
V1 stated they follow the Illinois Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program Resident Rights for people in Long
Term Care Facilities booklet. The booklet showed, your facility must treat you with dignity and respect and
must care for you in a manner that promotes your quality of life.
The Face Sheet dated 2/29/24 for R56 showed medical diagnoses including cerebral aneurysm,
depression, hyperlipidemia, bipolar disorder, osteoporosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lack of
coordination, acute cystitis, and dementia.
The Care Plan dated 1/25/24 for R56 showed she is at risk for alteration in nutritional status, has mood
distress present with signs and symptoms of depression, and has anxiety. R56's care plan showed she has
been declining in health and requires the support of a long-term care setting and presents with some risk
for failure to thrive secondary to poor insight/awareness and making questionable decisions.
The Face Sheet dated 2/29/24 for R96 showed medical diagnoses including respiratory syncytial virus,
dementia, dysphagia, pneumonia, anorexia, anemia, hyperlipidemia, major depressive disorder, obstructive
sleep apnea, hypertension, macular degeneration, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastritis, stage 4

The Physician Progress Note dated 2/26/24 for R96 showed she is alert and oriented to person, time, and
place; she is forgetful. The physician's assessment and plan showed R96 has chronic kidney disease with
worsening creatinine; she is legally blind, has rheumatoid arthritis and a stage 4 pressure ulcer.
The Care Plan dated 12/29/23 for R96 showed she is at risk for alteration in nutritional status. R96's
nutritional status is compromised due to megestrol acetate; give 40 mg by mouth one time a day for
anorexia. R96 has an activity of daily living self care performance deficit related to reduce mobility, muscle
weakness and loss of vision from macular degeneration. Requires assistance to eat. R96 has a history of
depression and presents with symptoms of depression during the interview for depression assessment.
3. R260's face sheet showed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include Multiple
Sclerosis, Respiratory Syncytial Virus Pneumonia, disorder of thyroid, degenerative disease of the nervous
system, adult failure to thrive, ileostomy status, and pressure ulcer of sacral region. R260's facility
assessment dated [DATE] showed she is dependent on staff for all cares.
On 2/27/24 at 1:59 PM, V19 CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and V20 RN (Registered Nurse) were
providing care for R260. The privacy curtain was not drawn between R260 and her roommate. R260's body
was completely exposed except an incontinence brief was tucked in her perineal area. R260's roommate
was sitting up in her bed using her tablet. While R260 was exposed, V20 was cleaning up feces that had
leaked from R260's colostomy bag and had ran down her side.
On 2/29/24 at 12:10 PM, V2 DON (Director of Nursing) said she would certainly expect them to pull the
privacy curtain to provide the resident privacy and make them feel more comfortable. It is important to
provide privacy for the resident's dignity.
The undated State of Illinois Residents' Rights for People in Long-term Care Facilities booklet provided by
the facility showed, . You have the right to . safety and good care. Your facility must provide services to keep
your physical and mental health, and a sense of satisfaction Privacy, Your medical and person care are
private .
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide dignity during dining and
personal cares for 5 of 5 residents (R56, R96, R105, R260, R402 ) reviewed for dignity in the sample of 18.
The findings include:
1. On 2/28/24 at 11:37 AM, R402 was sitting at the lunch table with R51 while R51 was being fed his meal.
R402 stated he does not have his food yet but that R51's food sure looks good. At another table, R80 was
being fed her meal while R105 watched her being fed and did not have her meal served yet.
On 2/28/24 at 11:42 AM, V11 (Rehab Aide) stated, The residents that get fed first need assistance with
meals so we give them more time to eat. It's kind of odd because other residents are waiting for their food
but we need to make sure the ones that need assistance have enough time to eat. It's only about a 15
minute difference.
On 2/28/24 at 12:04 PM, (27 minutes after the assisted residents began eating), the independent

On 2/29/24 at 10:16 AM, V3 (CNA) said the resident showers are scheduled by the room number. V3 said
most residents get showers or baths 2 times a week, but some may have a different preference.
On 2/29/24 at 10:34 AM, V4 (CNA) said the showers are scheduled by the resident's room number. V4 said
the shower schedule is in the binder at the nurses' station and the CNAs use that to know who gets a
shower that day. V4 said after the shower, we chart in the computer. V4 said most residents get a shower at
lease once a week. V4 stated, I think she (R1) wants a bed bath. She doesn't go to the shower because
she can't get up in the chair. I'm not sure when she had a shower last.
On 2/29/24 at 10:39 AM, V5 (RN) said the frequency of showers depends on the residents, but most get
2-3 showers a week. V5 said the shower schedule is in the CNA's binder. V5 said she thinks R1 gets a

is alert and oriented at this time and able to make her needs known.
On 2/28/24 at 11:04 AM, V2 (DON) said each floor has a shower schedule and most residents receive
showers twice a week. V2 said sometimes a resident will get a bed bath instead of a shower. V2 stated, It
depends on their preference. The showers should be charted in the computer. We don't use shower sheets
any more. Everything should be charted in the computer. The purpose of regular showers is to keep the
skin clean and it makes the resident feel good.

after 28 days, but we wouldn't know the 28 days unless it was labeled with the opened date.

use by dates, because without them you wouldn't know if the insulin was still good. V2 said, the purpose of
the use by date is to ensure that the medication is thrown out after the 28 days because it isn't good after
that.
