F 0576 Ensure residents have reasonable access to and privacy in their use of communication methods. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation , interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to have reasonable access to the use of a telephone and a place in the facility where calls can be made without being overheard for 3 of 22 (Residents #17, #34 and #40 ) residents reviewed for telephone use. Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to provide a place for Resident #17, #34, and #40 to make telephone calls without privacy or being overheard. This failure could place all residents that use the telephone at risk of conversations being overheard and privacy rights not being respected . The findings included : Record review of Resident #17's admission Record, dated 12/12/24, reflected [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Record review of Resident # 17's Hospital History and Physical dated 03/31/23, revealed diagnoses of dementia without behavioral disturbance, and Alzheimer's disease. Record review of Resident # 17's Quarterly MDS dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 15 demonstrating he was cognitively intact. In an observation on 12/09/24 at 10:30 AM in the hallway of the second floor of the facility, Resident # 17 was observed sitting on his wheelchair using the phone that was located at the nurses' station. There were several residents at arm's length from Resident #17 as well as an LVN and a CNA standing behind the nurses' station at about four feet away from resident #17 In an Interview on 12/09/24 at 10:35 AM with LVN C, stated he had assisted Resident# 17 to place a phone call to his family using the telephone located at the nurses' station. LVN C said the residents were able to use a phone on the first floor located in the chapel area if they wanted privacy, but the phone was not working because of the construction going on at the facility. LVN C said he had been in-serviced on residents' rights and their rights for privacy. LVN C said he understood Resident# 17 needed a private place to make his phone call. He stated the possible negative outcome would be that other residents and/or staff members overheard Resident #17's conversations over the phone and Resident #17 could feel embarrassed to discuss personal matters with his relatives due to the lack of privacy in the hallway and nurses' stations. In an interview on 12/11/24 at 8:39 AM with CNA A stated some residents had personal cell phone and that's how they communicated with their relatives and those residents that did not have a cell phone, could request to use the telephone located at the nursing stations in the 4 floors of the facility or at the chapel. CNA A said they had a cordless phone that residents can use but it only covers half the hall and the residents at the end of the hallway would not be able to make calls in their rooms, so most residents preferred to use the phone located at the nurses' station. CNA A stated she believed this violated the resident's privacy because there's always people at the nurse station and in the hallway and this could make the residents feel embarrassed to use the phone. In an interview on 12/11/24 at 9:21 AM with Resident #17, stated he called his family regularly and (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 675106 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 27 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 675106 B.

Resident #17 stated there was no door where the phone was located on the first floor and there was no privacy, but at least he could hear the conversation without the need to yell. He said that he would like to have more privacy when he called his relatives because he could not hear them with all the residents and staff that were in the hallways. Resident #17 stated he did not want a cell phone because he did not know how to use them, and he did not know where to pay for the services and everything that had to do with owning a cell phone. In an interview on 12/11/24 at 3:00 PM with the Social Worker, revealed she had been working at the facility for about 5 months and did not remember if she had been trained in Resident Rights and their rights to privacy.

The Social Worker said there was a phone at the chapel. She said the residents also made calls at the nursing stations located on every floor of the facility. The Social Worker showed the state surveyor the telephone at the chapel, and it was not working. The Social Worker reviewed the policy and procedure on Resident Rights and their right to privacy with the state surveyor present. She said it was not appropriate for the residents to have personal phone calls in the hallway at the nursing station because this was a violation of the Residents privacy. She stated the negative outcome for the residents could be they did not feel comfortable while talking to their family or if they called a relative and they had grievances, they might not voice them fearing that staff or another resident would hear them talking on the phone. In an interview on 12/11/24 at 3:58 PM with the Administrator she stated there was a telephone available in the chapel area that the residents could use.

The Administrator said that she would teach Resident #17 how to use the phone and to maybe install an accordion door at the entrance of the chapel to provide privacy. She said Resident #17's privacy was violated because he was using the phone in the hallway and there was no privacy there near the nurse's station. She said that the residents could feel embarrassed having a conversation when there's people around and they might not contact their relatives making them feel isolated. In an interview on 12/12/24 at 9:30 AM, with DON, stated Resident #17 knew where to go to make private phone calls. The DON said the facility could remind the residents that they can make their phone calls in private at the chapel.

The DON said that Resident #17's privacy was not respected because he made his call in the nurse's station in the presence of other residents and staff. In an interview on 12/12/24 at 8:51 AM with Resident #40, stated that whenever she needed to use the phone, she asked a staff to assist her. Resident #40 said she used the phone at the nurses' station to talk to her relatives. She said she would like to have privacy, but those were the only telephones available to call her family. She said that sometimes she felt embarrassed using the phone at the nurse's station because there were always people around in that area. Resident #40 said she would like to have her personal phone to have privacy when she calls her relatives.

Resident #34 said she would have to wait until there was nobody or less people near the station so that way, she could have privacy when using the telephone.

In an interview on 12/12/24 at 9:03 AM with LVN H, stated that she did not know the residents needed to have privacy when they made phone calls. LVN H said the facility had cordless phones for the residents to use which they could take to their room and have a phone call conversation in private. LVN H said she was trained in Resident Rights and their right to privacy, but she forgot to provide privacy for Resident #17 when she used the telephone. LVN H said the possible outcome for residents not being provided with privacy could result in them feeling embarrassed for making phone calls where they could be overheard by others, and this could also make them feel they don't want to call their relatives.
