F 0914 Provide bedrooms that don't allow residents to see each other when privacy is needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure each room was designed or equipped to assure full visual privacy for 3 (Rooms C-8, S-8 and S-18) of 4 dual occupancy rooms reviewed for privacy in the facility. The facility failed to ensure that dual occupancy rooms were provided with ceiling suspended curtains, which extended around the bed, to provide total visual privacy. This failure could lead to a lack of privacy for residents, allow residents' private medical treatment to be observed by roommates or others, and lead to a decline in psychosocial well-being. Findings included: Observation on 02/24/2026 at 2:35 PM of resident rooms C-8, S-8 and S-18 revealed that each room had dual occupancy with an A and B bed in each. The rooms had a single ceiling to floor curtain that divided the center of the room but stopped approximately 24 inches from the wall. A beds had a side curtain each but they each had a gap of approximately 30 inches and were unable to allow beds to have total visual privacy. Interview on 02/25/2026 at 4:02 PM the Administrator said if there was no full visual privacy in the resident rooms then there was a possibility of the residents being exposed during resident care. The Administrator said that they did not have a policy on full visual privacy curtains. Residents Affected - Some 676015 Page 3 of 3
