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 observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to treat each resident with respect and dignity and care for each resident in a manner and in an environment that promoted maintenance or enhancement of his or her quality of life for two (Resident #1 and Resident #2) of fifteen residents reviewed for dignity. 1. The facility failed to ensure CNA H did not stand while assisting Resident #1 with lunch on 11/17/2025. 2. The facility failed to provide a privacy bag for Resident #2s catheter bag (collects urine from the urinary bladder) on 11/17/2025. These failures could place the residents at risk of not having their right to a dignified existence maintained.Findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 11/17/2025, reflected an [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with muscle wasting (loss of muscle leading to its shrinking and weakening) and atrophy (decrease in size of a body part). Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive MDS Assessment (assessment used to determine functional capabilities and health needs), dated 10/11/2025, reflected the resident was cognitively intact (resident capable of normal cognition and needs little support) with a BIMS (screening tool used to assess cognitive status) score of 14. The Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated that the resident was dependent on staff for eating. Record review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 10/09/2025, reflected the resident had ADL self-care deficits and one of the interventions was to provide assistance for eating. Observation on 11/17/2025 at 12:04 PM revealed Resident #1 was sitting in his wheelchair in-front of the nurse's station. It was observed that CNA H was pushing a food cart along with CNA G. Both of them stopped in front of the nurse's station and then CNA G grabbed a tray from the food cart and went inside a resident's room. While waiting for CNA G, CNA H started feeding Resident #1 while he was still sitting in front of the nurse's station. She was standing up while feeding the resident. CNA G then told her to usher the resident to the dining area to continue feeding the resident. In an interview on 11/17/2025 at 12:09 PM, LVN C stated she did not notice that CNA H started feeding Resident #1 while he was still in the hallway and was standing up while feeding the resident. She said she should have pushed the resident's wheelchair in the dining area and fed the resident in the dining area instead of feeding the resident in the hallway. She said when assisting a resident during meals, the staff should also be sitting down to provide dignity to the resident. In an interview on 11/17/2025 at 1:03 PM, CNA H stated she should be sitting down when assisting with residents' meals. She said she started feeding Resident #1 in the hallway while waiting for CNA G. She said she was standing up while she was assisting the resident with lunch in the hallway. She said, when assisting somebody during meal times, she should sit down so she would be face to face with the resident. She said standing up in front of the resident was not a way of showing respect and dignity and as if she was in a hurry. She said she did not know what she was thinking. She said CNA G stopped her and told her to bring the resident to the dining area and that she should be sitting down when (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.

F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few feeding the resident. In an interview on 11/17/2025 at 1:44 PM, Resident #1 did not reply when asked if it was okay for him that the staff was standing up while assisting him during lunchtime. 2. Record review of Resident #2's Face Sheet, dated 11/17/2025, reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. The resident was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Record review of Resident #2's Comprehensive MDS Assessment, dated 11/13/2025, reflected the resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 14. The Comprehensive MDS Assessment indicated that the resident had an indwelling catheter (a thin, flexible tube inserted in the bladder to allow the urine to flow in the catheter bag). Review of Resident #2's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 11/14/2025, reflected that the resident had a Foley catheter (device used to help drain urine from bladder) and one of the interventions was to provide a catheter bag. Review of Resident #2's Physician Order, dated 11/08/2025, reflected (Specify type . indwelling urinary catheter (device used to help drain urine from bladder): 16 Fr (French: unit of measurement for catheter sizes) with . cc normal saline balloon using a closed drainage system.

In an observation and interview on 11/17/2025 at 10:39 AM Resident #2 was in her wheelchair at her doorway. She said she was waiting for somebody to push her wheelchair to the activity area. It was observed that the resident had a catheter hooked beneath her wheelchair. The catheter bag, with urine inside, did not have a privacy bag. The resident stated she had a catheter because she had a kidney problem. She said she was transferred by an aide to her wheelchair but did not notice if her catheter was inside a privacy bag. She said she was about to go out of her room and it would be nice if her urine bag was not exposed. In an interview on 11/17/2025 at 10:42 AM, CNA F stated she was the one who transferred Resident #2 to her wheelchair. She said she was aware that the resident's catheter bag did not have a privacy bag. She said she should have asked for a privacy bag before transferring the resident to be sure that the catheter bag was not exposed. She said it would be embarrassing if the resident would be in the hallway and everybody could see her urine. She said she would look for a privacy bag. In an interview on 11/18/2025 at 8:40 AM, the DON stated the staff should sit down next to the resident when assisting them during mealtimes. She said sitting beside the resident also allowed close observation of the resident's eating habits like if the residents were swallowing the food, if there was a problem in swallowing, if the resident was pocketing the food, if the residents were choking. She said standing up while assisting during meals would give an impression that the staff was in a hurry. The DON also stated that catheter bags should be inside a privacy bag to maintain the resident's dignity. She said the facility was using catheter bags that had flaps on them and the flaps served as the cover. She said if the resident was using a catheter bag that did not have a flap, it should be in a privacy bag to prevent embarrassment but provide privacy and dignity. She said the expectation was for all the staff to ensure that the residents were provided dignity by sitting down while assisting during meals and ensuring that the catheter bag was not exposed. She said she already started an in-service pertaining to providing dignity as soon as CNA H told them about the dignity issue. In an interview on 11/18/2025 at 10:31 AM, ADON A stated a privacy bag should be provided if a resident had a catheter to avoid incidents that could lead to embarrassment. The purpose of the privacy bag was to provide dignity for residents with urinary catheters. ADON A said the staff assisting a resident during mealtime should be sitting alongside the residents to also provide dignity. She said sitting beside the residents would allow better observation of the residents' needs during mealtime. She also said sitting beside the resident encouraged interaction and promoted safety when eating. She said the expectation was for the staff to provide dignity in all aspects of the resident's care. She said the DON already started an in-service about (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676040 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 25 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 676040 B.
