F 0557 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 three sampled residents (Resident 1) with respect and dignity by failing to get permission prior to entering Resident 1's room on 8/12/2025, in accordance with the facility's policy & procedure (P&P) on Dignity, and the resident's care plan that indicated facility staff is to knock and request permission before entering a residents' room. Furthermore, the facility failed to assist Resident 1 in maintaining dignity, well-being, manage emotional needs and monitor for further emotional distress, due to the anxiety and stress brought about by a facility staff (Housekeeper [HK] 1) when HK 1 entered Resident 1's room without permission on 8/12/2025, while the resident was dressing up, opened the privacy curtain and looked at Resident 1 while she was naked. HK 1 was again assigned to clean Resident 1's room on 8/13/2025 and 8/14/2025, after Resident 1 complained and requested HK 1 not to be assigned around her room anymore. This deficient practice had the potential to negatively affect the residents' psychosocial and psychological well-being. As a result, Resident 1 was very upset, yelling out, crying, and verbalized feeling isolated, mistreated, and discriminated against on 8/12/2025 and 8/13/2025. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated that Resident 1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including Diabetes Mellitus ( high blood sugar), major depressive disorder (a mental illness constant feeling of sadness), and acute respiratory disorder (a sudden, life-threatening condition where the lungs cannot adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, leading to dangerously low oxygen levels in the blood or excessive carbon dioxide buildup, require medical intervention). During a review of Resident 1's care plan, initiated on 3/18/2025, the care plan indicated that Resident 1 prefers to keep the curtain closed at all times. The care plan included a goal that Resident 1's preferences will be honored, and her privacy and comfort will be respected. The environment will be conducive to her emotional and physical well-being. The care plan intervention indicated that if the room needs to be entered for emergency purposes, the resident should be informed, and any necessary adjustments to the environment should be made easily. During a review of Resident 1's History and Physical (H&P) dated 5/14/2025, the H& P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS), a resident assessment tool, dated 7/3/2025, the MDS indicated that Resident 1's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS)-a brief screener used to detect cognitive impairment-had a score of 15 [A score between 13 and 15 indicates that cognitive skills for daily decision-making are intact]. During a review of Resident 1's progress note dated 8/12/2025 at 10:03 AM, the note indicated the following information:The SSD was made aware by Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1 that the resident was very upset and yelling out. The SSD went to the resident's room and asked to speak with her, and the resident agreed. Upon entering the room, the resident was sitting at the edge of the bed, staring out the window-not yelling or appearing in distress. The SSD explained that she had been informed the resident was upset and wanted to follow (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.

The SSD encouraged the resident to verbalize her feelings and provided emotional support but was unsuccessful in calming her down. The SSD apologized for the incident, assured the resident that her concerns would be followed up on, and asked if she was okay at that moment. The resident, still visibly upset, did not respond to SSD. Instead, she called someone on her phone and began yelling again, repeating the same complaint. When asked again, the resident stated she was ‘fine' and continued yelling on the phone. The SSD exited the room to give her privacy and indicated follow-up is pending. During a review of Resident 1's Progress Note dated 8/12/2025, at 11:16 AM, the note indicated: Resident is still on a phone call, yelling and stating, ‘I'm f**ing tired.'* The note further indicated that the SSD provided the resident with space and privacy to continue her phone call and would continue to follow up. During a review of Resident 1's Progress Note dated 8/12/2025, at 3:34 PM, the Progress Note indicated that the SSD attempted to discuss the earlier incident and provide a follow up, but [Resident 1] declined at the moment and stated she was upset about missing a doctor's appointment. The Note indicated SSD to follow up. During a review of Resident 1's grievance dated 8/12/2025 (time not specified), the grievance form indicated that Resident 1 had a complaint regarding housekeeping [HK 1]. [Resident 1] explained that she was in her room after showering when she heard a knock on the door. [Resident 1] stated that she said aloud, I am changing, but still heard [HK 1] enter her room. The grievance form indicated that the DON, Social Services Director (SSD), and Housekeeping Supervisor were the department heads designated to take action on the concern. The grievance form indicated under Action Taken: The Housekeeping Supervisor was made aware of the incident and a one-on-one in-service training was requested. During a review of Resident 1's Progress Note dated 8/13/2025, at 1:13 PM, the note indicated the following information: [The] SSD met with the resident in her room and inquired about the earlier incident. The resident verbalized, feeling upset with the housekeeper [HK 1] that day. She [Resident 1] stated that she went out for a walk with [RNA 1] and, upon returning, asked for the floor to be dried before entering. She [Resident 1] reported that CNA 4 dried the floor for her and expressed frustration that the housekeeper [HK 1] did not do it instead. The SSD encouraged [Resident 1] to express her feelings and provided emotional support. The SSD explained that the concerns had been reported to the Housekeeping Supervisor and [HK 1] would receive one-on-one training on resident rights and customer service. Additionally, since [Resident 1] had verbalized that she does not want to see him [HK 1], [HK 1] would be reassigned and would no longer be present around [Resident 1's] room or area. [Resident 1] verbalized understanding and agreed with the plan, although she remained visibly upset and angry. When asked if there was anything else that could be done to assist her or make her feel better, the resident did not respond directly but stated, I'm just done with all this shit! I don't know who he thinks he is. I'm done with this place. The SSD encouraged [Resident 1] to continue expressing her feelings and suggested breathing exercises to help her calm down. The SSD also discussed available options and resources for returning to the community. The SSD noted that one-on-one visits would be provided as needed to support Resident 1's emotional and psychosocial well-being.

Resident 1 stated she did not enter the room because HK 1's presence made her uncomfortable. Resident 1 expressed feeling violated, humiliated, and ignored. Resident 1 stated that after reporting the incident, her concerns were dismissed, and she was told she would be transferred to another facility.

Resident 1 asked HK 1 to dry the floor before she entered the room because the floor was wet. RNA 1 stated HK 1 did not respond and remained standing there, so CNA 4 dried the floor to allow Resident 1 to enter the room. RNA 1 stated that Resident 1 became very angry and upset upon seeing HK 1. During an interview on 8/15/2025, at 3:49 PM, with HK 1, HK 1 stated that he does not understand or speak English.

She also confirmed that no psychiatric evaluation was scheduled for the 8/12/2025 incident, and the physician was not notified.
