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 a
review of clinical records, select facility policy, documentation provided by the facility, and staff and resident
family interviews, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents have the right to personal privacy
for one resident out of eight sampled (Resident 1).
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
A review of facility policy titled Photographing, Video and Audio Recording, and Other Imaging of
Residents, Visitors, and Associates, dated April 1, 2022, revealed it is the facility's policy to take reasonable
steps to protect residents, visitors, and associates from unauthorized photography, video or audio
recordings, or other images. The policy indicates photography and audio recording of residents within the
facility by associates for personal use is prohibited.
A clinical record review revealed Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
include down syndrome (a genetic condition that causes physical and intellectual disabilities) and 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).
A review of a quarterly Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-a federally mandated standardized
assessment process conducted periodically to plan resident care) dated December 12, 2024, Section
C1000. Cognitive Skills for Daily Decision Making revealed Resident 1 is severely impaired in her ability to
make decisions regarding tasks of daily life. Further review of the MDS revealed a Brief Interview for Mental
Status (BIMS- a tool used to identify cognitive impairment) was not completed because Resident 1 is rarely
or never understood.
A review of a facility investigative report indicated a witness statement dated February 10, 2025, revealed
Employee 1, Nurse Aide (NA), stated, I sure did take a picture of Resident 1 and showed it to her family
member.
During an interview on February 19, 2025, at 8:25 AM, Resident 1 was not able to answer questions or
communicate her thoughts or ideas when greeted. During a telephone interview on February 19, 2025, at
9:32 AM, Resident 1's family member expressed concerns that a facility employee took a photograph of
Resident 1 on her personal mobile device. The family member indicated that she is Resident 1's Power of
Attorney and confirmed that no consent had been given for the photograph, and the family member
requested that any images of Resident 1 be deleted immediately.
Attempts to contact Employee 1 for further investigation were unsuccessful, and the provided phone
