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 ensure residents were treated 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 one (Resident #2) of five residents reviewed for dignity. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 was not referred to as a feeder. This failure could place residents at risk for diminished quality of life, loss of dignity, and self-worth .
Findings include: A record review of Resident #2's face sheet, dated 8/8/24, reflected a [AGE] year-old female who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #2 had diagnoses which included contracted left hand, lack of coordination, muscle weakness, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and dementia (loss of memory/thinking). A record review of Resident #2's admission MDS assessment, dated 6/24/24, reflected a BIMS score of 00, which indicated severely impaired cognition. This assessment reflected Resident #2 required total dependance and a one-person physical assist with eating. During an observation and interview on 8/8/24 at 12:38 p.m., Resident #2 was observed lying in bed with a meal tray by her side. CNA A said, she's a feeder and stated she had three other feeders on the hall to feed. She said she was new to the job and did not remember if she was trained on rights and dignity towards residents. During an interview on 8/8/24 at 3:55 PM, the DON said CNA A should not have used the word feeder to refer to residents who needed help eating. The DON said the language was not appropriate and could affect a resident's dignity in a negative manner. The DON stated she thought staff were trained on resident rights and dignity via computer-based trainings. The DON stated staff were monitored for resident rights and dignity through interviews and rounding by management staff. During an interview on 8/8/24 at 4:00 PM, the Administrator said residents should be referred to as the Red Napkin Program assisted dining residents.
