**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to promote and enhance the sense of well-being
for two residents (Resident 1 and Resident 6) of four sampled residents when facility staff did not verify
Resident 1 and Resident 6 wore their own clothing.
This failure resulted in Resident 1 showing up to a family party during the holidays wearing women ' s
clothes and Resident 6 feeling disrespected and sad.
Findings:
A review of Resident 1 ' s admission record indicated he was admitted in 3/8/23 with diagnoses which
included dementia (a group of conditions that cause loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other
thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life). A review of a Minimum Data Set (MDSa federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 12/11/24, indicated he had severe memory
impairment.
A review of Resident 3 ' s admission record indicated he was admitted in 10/8/24 with diagnoses which
included amyloidosis (a rare, inherited disorder characterized by the accumulation of abnormal proteins in
the nerves, leading to progressive nerve damage). A review of an MDS, dated [DATE], indicated he had no
memory impairment.
A review of Resident 5 ' s admission record indicated he was admitted in 3/22/20 with diagnoses which
included hemiplegia and hemiparesis (weakness and paralysis on one side of the body) following cerebral
infarction (stroke) affecting the right dominant side. A review of an MDS, dated [DATE], indicated he had
moderate memory impairment.
A review of Resident 6 ' s admission record indicated he was admitted in 1/7/25 with diagnoses which
included atrial fibrillation (a condition where the upper chambers of the heart beat irregularly and rapidly). A
review of an MDS, dated [DATE], indicated he had severe memory impairment.
During a phone interview on 3/5/25 at 10:05 a.m., Family Member XX stated Resident 1 was picked up
from the facility by another family member to spend Christmas with the family in 2024 and arrived to the
celebration wearing women ' s pants. Family Member XX stated Resident 1 was unaware he was not
wearing his own clothing because of his dementia. Family Member XX stated Resident 1 had been
observed in previous occasions wearing clothing that did not belong to him. Family Member XX gave the
Surveyor permission to check Resident 1 ' s clothing in his closet.
