F 0583 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 observation, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to treat residents with respect and dignity for one of six residents (Resident #1) reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to ensure RN A did not stand over Resident #1 while opening his brief and looking at his genitals with the door open and no curtain used, for anyone to see from the hallway on 08/29/25. This failure could affect residents who require assistance with ADLs of not wanting to get staff assistance if it were not done in private which could cause a decrease in the resident's self-esteem and psycho-social well-being resulting in embarrassment. Findings included: Observation on 08/29/25 at 2:40 PM, the door to Resident #1's room was open revealing RN A and CNA B in Resident #1's room. RN A had on gloves and was standing over Resident #1 with the resident's brief unfastened. RN A was looking at the resident's genital area, and the resident's legs was uncovered with his bedsheets at his ankles. When RN A saw the investigator, she quickly closed the brief back and pulled his bed covers up to his chest. CNA B walked out of the room with a bag of dirty wipes and brief. RN A then completed hand hygiene and walked out of the room. Record review of Resident #1's Annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] by RN Consultant reflected the resident was a [AGE] year-old male who admitted [DATE]. He had a Staff Assessment score of 00 and severely impaired cognition. And had no upper impairment and bilateral lower extremity impairment and used a walker. He was dependent and help did all ADL assistance. He required substantial/maximal assist with transfers and turning from side to side and always incontinent of bowel and bladder. He had progressive neurological conditions with diagnosis, anemia (low iron), HTN (high blood pressure), GERD (digestive disease/stomach acid), DM (diabetes mellites), hyperlipidemia (high fat particles), thyroid disorder (hormone gland disorder), osteoporosis (bone weakness), cerebral palsy (abnormal developed brain), seizure disorder (disruption in normal brain activity), malnutrition (lack of nutrients/digestive condition). Record review of Resident #1's Care Plan printed 08/29/25 reflected: Revision date 08/06/25 has potential impairment to skin integrity related to diabetes, incontinence of bowel and bladder and limited mobility. And had a communication problem and at increased risk for shears, and impaired skin integrity 2/2 (two muscle limbs tightening) contractures and impaired ADL's. Observation on 08/29/25 at 2:45 PM revealed Resident #1 was lying flat on his back with a blanket up to his chest. The resident was not able to communicate. There were no odors noted. Interview on 08/29/25 at 2:42 PM, CNA B stated Resident #1 was covered up after the nurse checked him. She stated she was not sure why Resident #1 did not have a privacy curtain and why his room door was not closed. She stated RN A checked to see if Resident #1 needed to be changed and was waiting for ADON C to come to the room for something (after several attempts she did not say what they were waiting for). Interview on 08/29/25 at 2:46 PM, RN A stated she had asked CNA B if she had changed Resident #1, and CNA B said she had. RN A stated she then went to check for herself because Resident #1 could not speak for himself. She stated the staff needed to give the residents privacy, and the only thing she forgot to do when Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0583 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete checking Resident #1 was close the door. She stated she normally closed the door when checking the resident's briefs, and she forgot this time. She stated she was sorry for that she knew she should have closed the door and was checking Resident #1's brief quickly. She stated CNA B forgot to close the door and was also waiting for ADON C to bring some gloves to Resident #1's room. She stated they did not have any gloves on Resident #1's side of the room and had told Maintenance to put some in Resident #1's room but he had not done so yet, so they did not have to look for them. She stated for future reference the CNA and herself needed to have everything in the room so they would not have to wait for other staff to bring them. She stated she was not sure why Resident #1 did not have a privacy curtain and said she would ensure she notified laundry to get one put up. She stated she needed to ensure she closed the door and pulled the curtains forward for the resident's privacy. Interview on 08/29/25 at 3:10 PM, ADON C stated she had just put some gloves in the Resident #1's room because RN A and CNA B said there were none on his side of the room. She stated they asked for some gloves and just put one full box of large and one full box of medium gloves in Resident #1's. Interview on 08/29/25 at 7:47 PM, the Administrator stated the privacy curtains should cover residents, even if their briefs were being checked and hoped that was being done. She stated there were no reports why Resident #1 did not have a privacy curtain. She stated she was aware of what happened earlier in Resident #1's room of RN A leaving Resident #1's door open while checking his brief. She stated it could affect the residents who got their briefs checked may not like being seen by anyone passing their rooms and some residents may care and some may not. She stated the person providing care was responsible and DON ultimately for ensuring the residents had privacy for personal care including checking the resident's briefs. She stated the nursing staff probably ran out of supplies and needed to get more and left the door open. She stated she was not aware of Resident #1's privacy curtain being missing and would have to get with the laundry department about putting another one up. She stated before touching a resident the nursing staff needed to talk to the resident to let them know what they were about to do and to provide them privacy. She stated when the nursing staff provided care to the residents they needed to look to see if they had gloves in the room before they started. She stated the CNAs, nurses and Central Supply were supposed to look to see what supplies they were out of and replenish it, to prevent having to open the door during resident care. Record review of the Facility's Resident Rights policy dated 2025 reflected: Policy: The facility will inform the resident both orally and in writing, in a language that the resident understands, of his or her rights and all rules and regulations governing resident conduct and responsibilities during the stay in the facility. The facility will also provide the resident with prompt notice (if any) of changes in any State or Federal laws relating to resident rights or facility rules during the resident's stay in the facility. Receipt of any such information must be acknowledged in writing. The resident has the right to a dignified existence. Event ID: Facility ID: 455872 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 2
