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 interview and record review the facility failed to ensure the dignity of one (R1) of three residents reviewed for dignity from a total sample list of seven residents.
Findings include: The facility provided Dignity Policy dated 4/23/18 documents that the facility shall promote care for residents in a manner and in an environment that maintains or enhances each resident's dignity and a respect in full recognition of his or her individuality. Staff shall carry out activities in a manner which assists the resident to maintain and enhance his/her self-esteem and self-worth.

On 5/5/25 at 1:20PM, V14 Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) stated that she was incredibly overwhelmed that Sunday night and that she had been told in report that R1 had asked for her medications all day. I was very curt to R1 because I was overwhelmed and was trying not to make a medication error. Her medications were late. On 5/5/25 at 1:00PM, V2 Director of Nursing stated that he expected staff to treat residents professionally at all times and that it was unacceptable and rather harsh to tell someone that they would just have to go ahead and have a seizure.
