F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to treat each resident with respect and dignity and care in a manner and in an environment that promoted maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life, recognizing each resident's individuality for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #46) reviewed for resident rights. The facility failed to ensure CNA G properly stored her pumped breast milk in a facility approved storage freezer instead of Resident #46's personal refrigerator. These deficient practices could place residents at risk of not being treated with respect and dignity and having their choices honored. Findings Include: During an interview and observation on [DATE] at 09:29 AM, 1 store-bought lansinoh breastmilk storage bag was observed in the door of Resident #46's personal refrigerator with a white fluid inside. There was no name or date on the bag. Resident #46 stated that somebody kept putting that stuff (breastmilk bag with white fluid) in her refrigerator. On the same day at 03:15pm, there were 3 store-bought lansinoh breast milk storage bags in the door of the same refrigerator with a white fluid inside, also with no name or date labeled on bag. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:21 PM with administrator, she stated that housekeeping was responsible for cleaning the residents' personal refrigerators. She also said that she was unaware of any staff members that were currently pumping. During an interview on [DATE] at 03:25 PM, with DON, she stated that they do offer breastfeeding staff a place to pump and store their milk.

CNA E did not provide proper incontinent care for Resident #50 and wiped from the anal area toward the urethral area (back to front). CNA H and CNA I did not wash or sanitize their hands when changing gloves while performing incontinent care for Resident #31. This failure could place residents at risk for bacterial infections from improper incontinent care. Findings include: 1. Record review of the face sheet dated 10/19/22 indicated that Resident #50 was a [AGE] year-old female originally admitted to the facility on [DATE], and subsequently readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including: Congestive Heart Failure, adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, anxiety disorder, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Repeated falls, osteoarthritis, unspecified site, Alzheimer's disease, and hypertension.

She was totally dependent for bed mobility and toileting and required extensive assist with personal hygiene. She was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. During an observation of incontinent care on 10/19/22 at 09:54 AM, CNA E and CNA F were performing incontinent care on Resident #50. CNA E wiped Resident #50 from the anal area towards the urethral area (back to front) when performing care to perineal area.
