Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
review of select facility policies, clinical record review, review of facility-provided documentation, and staff
interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to protect and maintain personal privacy and dignity
when staff recorded a resident receiving incontinence care without consent. This failure resulted in a
violation of personal privacy protection for 1 of 5 sampled residents (Resident 1). This concern represents
past non-compliance, as the facility identified, addressed, and corrected the issue before the
survey.Findings include: A review of a select facility policy for Use of Employee Telephones, last reviewed
December 8, 2025, revealed it is the policy of the facility that cellular phones may be used for personal calls
and text messaging only when the employee is on authorized meal and break periods, and employees' cell
phones will remain off or on silent during all other work hours. A review of a select facility policy for Dignity,
last reviewed December 8, 2025, revealed it is the policy of the facility that each resident shall be cared for
in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life, and
feelings of self-worth and self-esteem. Further review revealed that staff should promote, maintain, and
protect resident privacy, including bodily privacy, during assistance with personal care and during treatment
procedures. A review of a select facility policy for Videotaping, Photographing, and Other Imaging of
Residents, last reviewed December 8, 2025, revealed it is the policy of the facility that residents will be
protected from invasion of privacy and abuse that might occur from photographs, videotapes, digital
images, and recordings during resident care or other facility activities. Further review revealed that staff
may not take or release images or recordings of any resident without explicit written consent. A clinical
record review revealed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that include
dementia (a condition characterized by the loss of cognitive functioning such as thinking, remembering, and
reasoning to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities) and cerebral infarction
(brain damage that results from a lack of blood). A quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS, a
federally mandated standardized assessment process conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care)
of Resident 1 dated November 06, 2025, revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired with a
BIMS score of 01 (Brief Interview for Mental Status, a tool to assess the residents' attention, orientation,
and ability to register and recall new information; a score of 0-7 indicates severe cognitive impairment). A
clinical record review for Resident 1 of a care plan initiated on October 26, 2021, revealed the resident had
urinary and bowel incontinence (involuntary loss of urine or stool) related to disease processes, impaired
mobility, and physical limitations, and interventions included providing assistance with toileting and
providing incontinent care as needed.A review of facility-provided documentation showed that on December
16, 2025, at 2:00 AM, Employee 1, NA (nurse aide), used her personal cell phone to record video footage
of Resident 1 in Resident 1's room while incontinence care was being provided by Employee 3, NA.
Employee 1 NA and Employee 2, NA, were

positioned in another location across the facility courtyard (73 yards across the courtyard) and recorded
through a window where the blinds had not been lowered. The recording was made without consent, and
neither Resident 1 nor Employee 3 were aware that they were being recorded. During an interview with
Employee 3, CNA, on December 22, 2025, at 11:15 AM, it was stated the window shade had not been
lowered during incontinence care at the time of the incident.During an interview with the Nursing Home
Administrator (NHA) on December 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM, it was acknowledged that Employee 1 and
Employee 2 admitted to making the video recording. The NHA confirmed it is the facility's responsibility to
ensure residents at the facility have a right to personal privacy. The NHA revealed that both Employee 1 and
Employee 2 have been terminated from employment at the facility as of December 17, 2025. This
deficiency is cited as past non-compliance. The facility's corrective action plan was to identify other
residents with the potential to be affected, and there were no other facility staff or residents reporting any
unauthorized videos. To prevent this from recurring, the NHA and Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) provided
re-education to facility staff regarding HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
regulations and policy and usage of cell phones and electronic devices. To monitor and maintain ongoing
compliance, the NHA/designee will perform audits twice a week for 4 weeks to ensure that staff are
following HIPAA regulations and policy. Any negative findings will be immediately corrected. Results of
audits will be forwarded to facility QAPI for review and recommendation as indicated. The facility's
immediate corrective action plan was completed on December 18, 2025. 28 Pa. Code 201.18 (e)(1)
