Honor the resident's right to be treated with respect and dignity and to retain and use personal
possessions.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to treat one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) with
respect and dignity by failing to ensure Resident 1 was assisted with getting dressed prior to him leaving for
his appointment.
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 1 to feel embarrassed because he had to wear a hospital gown
(a loose-fitting garment, typically open in the back, that patients wear in medical facilities) to his
appointment. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 1 to be exposed causing unworthiness
and psychosocial harm to Resident 1.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including acute kidney failure ([AKI] also called acute
kidney injury - when the kidneys suddenly can't filter waste products from the blood), type 2 diabetes ([DM]
a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), and colostomy (a
surgical procedure that brings one end of the large intestine out through the abdominal wall to allow waste
to leave the body).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 5/30/2025,
the MDS indicated Resident 1's cognition was intact.
During a telephone interview on 6/17/2025 at 1:56 p.m., with Resident 1's Family Member (FM 1), FM 1
stated on 5/30/2025 at 7:30 a.m., she brought Resident 1 street clothes (ordinary clothes that people wear
in public) to wear to his appointment. FM 1 stated when Resident 1 arrived at his appointment, he was still
wearing a hospital gown and not the street clothes she brought for him to be changed into. FM 1 stated she
was upset because Resident 1 expressed to her that he was embarrassed because he had to wear a
hospital gown in public.
During an interview on 6/18/2025 at 11:46 a.m., with the Case Manager (CM), the CM stated she received
a phone call (after Resident 1's appointment on 5/30/2025) from Resident 1's FM 1 complaining that
Resident 1 arrived at his appointment wearing a hospital gown. The CM stated CNA 1 reported to her that
Resident 1 had refused to change into his clothes.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/18/2025 at 3:26 p.m., with the Case Manager (CM),
Resident 1's Clinical Records dated 5/2025 were reviewed. The Clinical Records indicated, there were no
documentation indicating on 5/30/2025 that Resident 1 refused to change into his street

licensed nurses should have notified of his refusal.
