This survey cited 4 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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. Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to provide dignity with dining for one of two main dining rooms (Assisted Dining Room, Residents 21 and 22), and for one of one resident reviewed for dignity in toileting (Resident 41) Findings include: Observation of the dining area on October 3, 2023, from 11:55 AM to 12:20 PM revealed that the staff failed to provide resident dignity based on the following: Observation of Employee 1, registered nurse, revealed that she attempted to feed Resident 21 with a spoon while standing up on the resident's left side. The surveyor briefly left the dining room where residents were being fed or assisted with feeding to observe the adjacent dining room where residents feed themselves. On return to the assisted dining room, Employee 1, was standing up attempting to feed Resident 22 with a spoon on the left side of the resident. Employee 1 voiced that is all she could get the resident to take. It is undignified for staff to stand over a resident to feed them. The surveyor reviewed the findings for Residents 21 and 22 with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing during a meeting on October 4, 2023, at 1:15 PM. Observation on October 4, 2023, at 2:33 PM revealed that the door to Resident 41's room was open. Resident 41 resided in the semi-private room next to the window. The surveyor entered Resident 41's room after receiving permission from the responsible party. The bathroom door was open, and Resident 41 was sitting on the toilet with the lower part of her body undressed. Employee 2, nurse aide, was bending over and was removing the resident's incontinent brief, which was down to her feet at the time. Resident 41 was visible to the surveyor, responsible party, and roommate. During an interview with Employee 2 on October 4, 2023, at 2:40 PM she confirmed that she should have closed the door to Resident 41's room to provide her privacy and dignity. The surveyor reviewed the findings for Resident 41 during a meeting with the Director of Nursing on October 5, 2023, at 9:00 AM. 28 Pa.
