Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure one of three sampled residents
(Resident 2) was treated with dignity and care in a manner that promotes maintenance or enhancement of
their quality of life by failing to ensure Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 assisted Resident 2 with their
meal was not standing over Resident 2.
This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect Resident 2 psychosocially (involving mental,
emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of a person's life).
Findings:
During a review of Resident 2 ' s admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted
Resident 2 on 6/29/2017 and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state
of decline in mental abilities), anxiety disorder (a group of mental health conditions where feelings of worry,
fear, apprehension, and nervousness are excessive, persistent, and interfere with daily life), and other lack
of coordination.
During a review of Resident 2 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a resident assessment tool) dated
4/7/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 2 had the ability to sometimes understand and sometimes be
understood. The MDS indicated Resident 2 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) with showering,
required substantial assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with oral hygiene, toileting, putting on
and taking off footwear and personal hygiene, required partial assistance (helper does less than half the
effort) with upper and lower body dressing and required supervision assistance (helper provides verbal
cues and or touching and or contact guard assistance) with eating.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2025 at 8:15 a.m. of Resident 2 with CNA 1, CNA 1
was observed standing with over Resident 2, no chair noted in the room. CNA 1 stated a chair was
provided to assist a resident with meals but is not using one. CNA 1 stated does not sit while assisting
Resident 2 with meal because Resident 2 will try to get up. CNA 1 stated should be sitting at eye level with
Resident 2 when assisting with their meal.
During an interview on 6/25/2025 at 3:15 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated staff
assisting residents with their meal need to sit down and be at eye level. The DON stated if staff are not at
eye level and the staff are standing over the resident while assisting with meals mean it is not respecting
the resident ' s right to dignity.
