Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or
her rights.
Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to treat each resident with respect, dignity, and
care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that promotes the maintenance or enhancement
of their quality of life, recognizing each resident's individuality. The facility failed to protect and promote the
rights of 10 of 14 residents in that: The facility failed to ensure staff were not on their personal cell phones
while providing care, which included peri-care to residents. This could place residents at risk for diminished
quality of life and loss of dignity and self-worth.Findings include: During an interview with confidential
residents at an undisclosed date and time ten confidential residents stated the use of cell phones by CNAs
while performing care made them feel ignored, not a priority, embarrassed, concerned the CNA could make
a mistake due to distraction by the cell phone conversation, and, most of all, their privacy was violated.
During an interview ten confidential residents stated the use of cell phones by CNAs occurred on every
shift. Confidential residents also stated staff utilize their cell phones while feeding residents during meals;
residents stated the use of the cell phones while feeding residents forces those residents to have significant
wait times between bites. During an interview ten confidential residents stated they did not know the names
of the CNAs who utilized their cell phones while performing care. The confidential residents stated cell
phone usage of the CNAs while performing care happened in the facility so often, they said every CNA in
the facility utilized their cell phone while performing care. During an interview on 01/30/26 at 2:35pm, the
ADM stated residents should be provided with privacy during resident care. She stated all staff were trained
on privacy, resident rights, dignity, and cell phone usage during orientation and through continuous
education by department heads and the ADM. She stated staff were monitored by making rounds and
correcting any issues found, and by addressing complaints and grievances concerning cell phone usage by
staff while performing resident care. She stated cell phones should never be used in resident rooms,
hallways, or nurses' stations. She stated the potential negative outcome could be mistakes and HIPAA
violations. Record review of the undated facility policy titled Resident Rights revealed the following:
Employees shall treat all residents with kindness, respect, and dignity. Policy Interpretation and
ImplementationFederal and state laws guarantee certain basic rights to all residents of this facility. These
rights include the resident's right to:a dignified existence to be treated with respect, kindness, and dignityt.

observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide information to residents and their
representatives on their rights related to filing grievances or concerns for 10 of 14 confidential residents.
The facility failed to ensure 10 of 14 confidential residents were provided, through postings in prominent
locations, the Grievance Procedure, were provided information who the facility grievance official was, their
contact information, how to file an anonymous grievance, and their right to obtain a written decision related
to their grievance. This failure could place the residents at risk of unresolved grievances and decreased
quality of life. In Interviews and Record Review during an undisclosed date and time, 10 of 10 confidential
residents stated they did not know they could file a Grievance anonymously, the Grievance procedure had
never been discussed in Resident Council, and they had not observed a posting of the Grievance
procedure in prominent locations. Residents stated they did not know where to acquire a grievance form,
who to turn the form into, and what happens once a grievance was filed. The Residents did not know they
had the right to receive a written decision once their grievance was resolved. Record Review of the
Grievance policy on 01/30/2026 at 8:15am; reflected a copy of the Grievance/complaint procedure should
be posted on the resident bulletin board. Observed prominent postings on 01/30/2026 at 08:45am; the
facility did not include instructions regarding the Grievance procedure with any of the prominent postings.

completes Grievance forms during monthly meetings. The ADM stated staff also complete Grievance forms
for some complaints that are discussed with them face to face with residents. The ADM stated there is a
box below the Grievance forms for Residents to submit Grievances anonymously. The ADM stated the
facility has 5 working days to solve Grievances once they are submitted. The ADM stated she assigns the
Grievance to the appropriate department, that department addresses the grievance with the complainant,
resolves the grievance, and explains the resolution to the complainant. The resolution is documented on the
Grievance form, and the completed form is submitted to the ADM for review. The ADM stated completed
Grievance forms are kept in a notebook for 3 plus years. The ADM stated she monitored the Grievance
process for success by following up with the staff member assigned to resolve the Grievance. The ADM
stated she will also meet with the complainant to ensure they were satisfied with the resolution. The ADM
stated she was responsible for ensuring staff were trained on the Grievance process. The ADM stated she
was not aware the Grievance procedure was not being discussed in Resident Council; the ADM agreed the
availability of the Grievance forms, the Grievance procedure, and procedure for submitting a Grievance
form anonymously should be explained to Residents at admission and education of the Grievance process
should continue in monthly Resident Council meetings. Record Review of the Grievance Policy last updated
in 2017 reflected: Policy Statement:Residents and their representatives have the right to file grievances,
either orally or in writing, to the facility staff or to the agency designated to hear grievances. The
Administrator and staff will make prompt efforts to resolve grievances to the satisfaction of the resident
and/or their representative. Residents and their representatives have the right to voice grievances to the

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 establish and maintain an infection prevention
and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent
the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 3 of 3 residents (Resident
#15, Resident #19 and Resident #42) reviewed for infection control. CNA E did not change gloves between
groin area and buttocks area when providing incontinence care to Resident #42. CNA F did not perform
hand hygiene between all glove changes when providing incontinent care to Resident #15. CNA G did not
perform hand hygiene or gloves changes when providing incontinent care to Resident #19. These failures
could place residents at risk for cross contamination and infection. Findings included: 1. Record review of
the admission record for Resident #15, dated 01/30/26, revealed a [AGE] year-old male who was admitted
on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses: cerebral infarction (stroke), anxiety
(feeling of fear and worry), Schizoaffective disorder (mental health condition that is marked by a mix of
schizophrenia symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, and mood disorder symptoms, such as
depression and mania), diabetes (high blood sugar), hypertension (high blood pressure) and muscle
weakness. Record review of the quarterly MDS assessment for Resident #15, dated 12/12/25, revealed
Resident #15 required partial/moderate assistance for toileting hygiene - the helper does less than half the
effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the support. The MDS
further revealed Resident #15 was always incontinent. Record review of the current care plan for Resident
#15, dated 12/09/25, revealed there was a focus area: Resident experiences bowel and bladder
incontinence with interventions to provide incontinence care after each incontinent episode. During an
observation on 01/29/26 at 11:10 a.m., CNA F provided incontinence care for Resident #15. CNA F washed
her hands with soap and water and then put on gloves. CNA F then unfastened the brief for Resident #15
and cleaned the groin area using wipes. CNA F removed gloves and put on clean gloves. No observation of
hand hygiene observed. CNA F then rolled resident to the side and removed the dirty brief and applied a
clean brief. CNA F rolled resident to his back and fastened the brief. CNA F then removed her gloves and
used ABHR. During an interview on 01/29/26 at 03:45 p.m., CNA F stated she was trained on hand hygiene
between all glove changes. CNA F stated she was nervous and forgot to use hand sanitizer between glove
changes. CNA F stated she did not clean his coccyx area and stated she should have cleaned his coccyx.
She stated the potential negative outcome to the residents could be cross contamination, odor, rash and
skin breakdown. 2. Record review of the admission record for Resident #19, dated 01/30/26 revealed an
[AGE] year-old female who was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses:
dementia (cognitive loss), diabetes (high blood sugar), anxiety (feeling of fear and worry) and hypertension
(high blood pressure). Record review of the comprehensive MDS assessment for Resident #19, dated
01/09/26, revealed Resident #19 required partial/moderate assistance for toileting hygiene - the helper
does less than half the effort. Helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the
support. The MDS further revealed Resident #19 was occasionally incontinent. Record review of the current
care plan for Resident #19, dated 01/30/26, revealed there was focus area: Resident experiences bowel
and bladder incontinence with interventions to provide incontinence care after each incontinent episode.
During an observation on 01/29/26 at 02:45 p.m., CNA G provided incontinence care for Resident #19 with
the help of CNA E. CNA G used ABHR and put on a gown and clean gloves. CNA G unfastened Resident
#19's brief and cleansed her groin area with wipes. CNA G turned Resident #19 on her side and cleansed
