**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adhere to the resident right to privacy by staff

limited to hypertension, sleep apnea, obesity, right hip osteoarthritis, abnormal, gait and mobility, chronic
and congestive heart failure.

On 2/10/2025 at 12:00PM R1 said, I have concerns with staff coming into my room without knocking on the
door or telling who they are.
On 2/10/2025 at 12:20PM R4 said, I am blind, and I would like the staff to knock on the door and wait to
come in, and when they come in introduce themselves and say their names. Some people I know by their
voices, but I don't know everyone in the facility. There is sign on the door and staff still don't knock on the
door and wait until I let them in. I like to have my privacy.
On 2/10/2025 at 1:13PM V16 (Housekeeping) was removing garbage from R1 and R4's room; it was
observed that V16 did not knock on the door before going inside. R4's room has sign posted indicating that
R4 prefers to have staff knock on the door before entering. V16 said, I know I am supposed to knock on the
door but I did not do it.
On record review of facility grievances form dated 11/11/2024, R1 and R4 both had expressed that staff are
not knocking on the door and waiting for a response before coming in.
On 2/10/2025 at 1:15PM V6 (Nursing Manager) said, I expect the staff to knock on the door and wait for the
resident to respond before the staff go in.

wait for the resident to respond before going in.
