**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, observation, and resident interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
accomodate the needs and maintain dignity for two of seven sampled residents. (Residents 1 and 3)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 1 had diagnoses that included a stroke with hemiplegia on her
right dominant side, aphasia (inability to swallow), dysphagia (speech impairment), and depression. The
Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], indicated that the resident needed help with self care,
had limitations in range of motion on one side of her upper extremities, and required maximum assistance
with toileting and dressing. Further review of the MDS assessment revealed that family had relayed to the
facility that it was very important for the resident to choose her own activities, clothing, and bed time. A
review of the care plan revealed that the resident had a communication deficit and there was an
intervention for staff to anticipate and meet her needs. In addition, the care plan revealed the resident had
an activities of daily living (ADL) self care deficit. There were interventions for staff to assist her with
dressing and toileting and to encourage her to use the call bell for assistance. Review of a nurse
practitioner's note dated April 23, 2025, revealed that Resident 1 does try to express herself and does
appear to have some understanding of questions asked.
On May 3, 2025, at 10:40 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 11:15 a.m., and 11:30 a.m., observation revealed that the
resident was in bed and only dressed in a hospital gown. The hospital gown was falling down in the front
and was not tied or snapped in order to fully cover her upper chest. Her hair was not combed and it did not
appear that she had received assistance with her hygeine care, including getting out of bed and getting
dressed. During the observations, her call bell was tangled and hanging behind her night stand and out of
her reach. In an interview with Resident 1 at 10:40 a.m., when asked if she had her call bell, she shook her
head no and was turning her head to see if she could find it. She was not aware of where the call bell was
and she did not have access to it to call staff for assistance.
Further observation at 12:00 p.m., revealed that Resident 1 was dressed and seated at bed side in her
wheelchair. Her hair was combed and she had been served her lunch. In an interview at that time, when
asked if she felt better now that she was out of bed, dressed and had received care, she smiled and
nodded yes.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 3 had diagnoses that included diabetes, fibromyalgia (chronic
pain in muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints), and major depressive disorder. A review of the care
plan revealed that she had an ADL self care deficit and there was an intervention for
