interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the resident's right to a dignified existence for 1 of 4
residents (Residents #1) reviewed for dignity. 1. The facility failed on 01/20/2026 to promote Resident #1's
dignity by dressing him with 2 diaper briefs, leading to urine leakage over his clothes when he was not
changed timely. 2. The facility failed on 01/20/2026 to provide Resident #1 with a change of clothes or extra
toiletries when he had to be out of the facility all day for appointments.This failure placed residents at risk of
embarrassment and a loss of dignity. Findings included:Review of Resident 1's quarterly MDS assessment
dated [DATE] reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. He had the following
diagnoses: neurogenic bladder (loss of bladder control due to nerve problems), high cholesterol, paraplegia
(paralysis of the legs and lower body), psychotic disorder (severe mental disorder characterized by a
dissociation from reality), schizophrenia (hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking or behavior), and
spina bifida (birth disorder that involves the incomplete development of the spine). He had a BIMS score of
15, indicating his cognition was intact. In section H - Bladder and Bowel, he was described as always being
incontinent of bowel and bladder.Review of Resident 1's undated comprehensive care plan reflected he had
bowel and bladder incontinence and had a goal of being clean, dry and free from odors, with interventions
of assisting with applying briefs, keeping skin clean, dry and free from odors. Resident #1 was indicated as
being PASRR positive for ID & DD r/t Spina Bifida, he had a customized wheelchair and received
specialized services. He was also care planned for his dx of Spina Bifida that effected his ability to care for
himself with a goal of maintaining optimal mobility within his limitations, and interventions of encouraging
independence in self-care when possible, providing emotional support as needed.Review of the facility's
staffing sheet dated 1/20/26 reflected on Hall 2: LVN A, CNA B, CNA C, and CNA D were all assigned to
work during the day, and CNA E was assigned to the night shift.In a confidential interview on 01/30/2026,
who stated that Resident #1 presented to a physician's office accompanied by the TD on 01/20/2026. The
interviewee stated that Resident #1's clothing was visibly soiled with urine, and Resident #1 was observed
to have been wearing 2 diaper briefs under his clothes, that were both full of urine. The physician's office
had to provide a pair of pants when Resident #1 left the office due to not having his own change of clothing.
In an interview on 01/30/2026 at 10:08 AM with Resident #1, he stated that he remembered going to his
Urology appointment wearing double briefs. He could not recall what staff member got him dressed that
day. He stated that he had 2 appointments that day and was gone for a long time. He stated that he cannot
go to the restroom on his own, he was incontinent and needed staff to change him. He stated that he
thought his briefs were so full that day because someone made a mistake and forgot to change him. He
stated he was embarrassed he had to sit in soiled clothing at the doctor's office. In an interview on
01/30/2026 at 12:15 PM with the TD, she stated that she had been transporting residents at the

facility for 3 months. She stated that she recalled an appointment with Resident #1 at a Urologist's office on
01/20/2026, and that they were gone much longer than normal on that day due to him having multiple
appointments She stated that when they arrived at that appointment, she could see that Resident #1's
clothes were wet. She stated she had no idea Resident #1 was double briefed until the urologist
appointment, which was the 2nd appointment of the day. She stated she did not know who tended to
Resident #1 that morning. She stated that residents did not bring change of clothes with them, and that was
the 1st time something like that had happened since she had started transporting. She stated there was
almost a 3-hour time frame between the appointments, and that no other staff went with her that day. She
stated that at the time she thought Resident #1 had a catheter in place. She stated that she did not have a
CNA license. She stated she felt responsible to a degree for the incident due to her driving the van that was
not equipped with toiletries. She stated the resident's she transported most recently were completely
self-sufficient due to the van's wheelchair lift being broken. She stated she did not alert management to the
incident. She stated that the doctor's office put a new brief and pair of pants on Resident #1. She stated
that a negative outcome was that Resident #1 had to sit in his urine, in public, and was embarrassed. An
interview was attempted on 01/30/2026 at 12:31 PM with CNA B, but the voicemail was not returned. In an
interview on 01/30/2026 at 12:44 PM with LVN A, she stated that she remembered pushing Resident #1 in
his wheelchair to the side door where the transportation van would have been parked. She stated the CNAs
would have been responsible for getting him dressed. She stated that CNAs absolutely did not double brief
residents because it was against the rules and Resident #1 had a wound on his lower back. She stated that
if someone double briefed a resident, they would be doing it for reasons that were not good, such as
knowing that a resident would be sitting in a brief for a long period, without being changed. She stated she
was not responsible for ensuring residents had extra sets of clothes or briefs for appointments. She stated
that she thought that transportation would have scheduled a CNA to go with them. She stated that Resident
#1 had not been catheterized for a few months, and that it took one person to change him. She stated that
Resident #1 always told staff when he needed a brief change.In an interview on 01/30/2026 at 12:58 PM
with the DON, she stated that the TD was responsible for keeping the vans stocked with briefs, linens, and
changes of clothes. She stated it was not practice for residents to carry a bag with personal items and
changes of clothes when leaving the facility for appointments. She stated she had not done a recent
in-service on resident rights or not double briefing residents. She stated it was never okay to double brief,
and that double briefing would not prevent urine from leaking out. She stated that the only reason she could
think someone would be double briefed was because someone thought that a person would be going for a
long period of time without being changed, which was also not okay because that could cause skin
breakdown. She stated Resident #1 had all-day appointments on 01/20/2026.In an interview on 01/30/2026
at 1:10 PM with the ADM, he stated that they tried to send residents out of the building in a presentable
way, and if a resident was incontinent, they would try to send a CNA with them. He stated he did not recall
specifically talking about Resident #1's appointment in the morning meeting to send a CNA with them. He
stated that Resident #1's RP usually transported Resident #1 to appointments, but that was not the case on
01/20/2026. He stated that it would be embarrassing for a resident to sit in their own urine.An interview was
attempted on 01/30/2026 at 1:19 PM with CNA D, but the voicemail was not returned. In an interview on
01/30/2026 at 4:36 PM with CNA C, she stated that she was working with CNA B on 01/20/2026. She
stated she did not recall getting Resident #1 ready for his appointments that day. She stated she was
working the 200 hall but that most of the time night shift staff got the residents ready for appointments,

especially if the residents' appointments were out of town, and that night shift staff would get residents
ready and then sit them by the front door to wait for transport. She stated that day shift tried to check and
change the residents before they left for appointments, but she did not check Resident #1 before he left.
She stated she had never double briefed residents and that they were not allowed to double brief residents
because it caused skin breakdown. She stated that the transportation driver was new, and since the
transportation driver was not a CNA, she believed a CNA should have attended the appointments. She
stated she should have caught that Resident #1 was double briefed before he left, but she did not because
she was not the one to get him ready for his appointment.In an interview on 01/30/2026 at 4:47 PM with
CNA E, she stated that she worked on 01/20/2026, but that she did not get Resident #1 up that morning or
ready for his appointments. She stated that she did not really get residents up and ready for appointments.
She stated that she does not double brief residents and that she would never do that because if they
double briefed residents it could contribute to skin breakdown.Review of the facility's undated Quality of Life
policy reflected, The facility will care for residents in a manner and environment that promotes maintenance
or enhancement of each resident's quality of life, including dignity and respect with full recognition of his/her
individuality. Facility Mission Statement:Treat each resident with dignity and respect and to make a
