F 0583 Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure personal privacy during personal care for 1 of 10 residents (Resident #1) during incontinent care in that: Residents Affected - Few CNA A completed perineal care on Resident #1 with the curtain and bedroom door both left open. This failure could place residents at risk of a lack of dignity. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 11/10/2023, reflected a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of Parkinsonism, Unspecified (a motor syndrome that manifests as rigidity, tremors, and bradykinesia.) Record review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], reflected Resident #1 had a BIMS score of 13, indicating cognitively intact. Observation on 11/07/2023 at 2:36 PM revealed CNA A changing Resident #1's brief without the privacy curtain or bedroom door closed. Interview on 11/07/2023 at 2:38 PM, CNA A stated she was changing Resident #1's brief and normally would close the door and privacy curtain but forgot during that instance. CNA A stated she was trained on completing perineal care and was told to close the privacy curtain and door while completing the procedure. CNA A stated the risk with not closing the privacy curtain and bedroom door would be that the resident's privacy would be violated. Interview on 11/07/2023 at 2:40 PM, Resident #1 stated he was having his brief changed by CNA A and that she normally closed the bedroom door at least but did not always close the curtain. Resident #1 stated he did not mind the curtain or door being open. Interview on 11/07/2023 at 3:46 PM, the ADM stated it was his expectation that staff close both the privacy curtain and the bedroom door while completing perineal care. The ADM stated the risk associated with leaving either the privacy curtain or the bedroom door open was that the resident's dignity could be violated. The ADM stated CNA A was trained on perineal care. Record review of the facility's policy titled, Resident Rights, undated, reflected: The Resident has the right: 1. To be treated with consideration, respect, and full recognition of his or her dignity and individuality.

The facility failed to ensure adequate supervision while utilizing the mechanical lift to move Resident #2 in the shower room, resulting in Resident #2 having a fractured nose and a laceration to the hand.

During a phone interview on 11/08/2023 at 3:05 p.m., CNA C (a former employee of the facility), said she alone utilized the mechanical lift to get Resident #2 to and from the shower bed in the shower room on 06/22/2023. CNA C said she asked for help but was unable to get another staff member to help and she wanted Resident #2 to be able to have her preference of getting a shower using the shower bed. CNA B said she now knows she should not have done that but at the time the transfer took place (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 676281 If continuation sheet Page 2 of 3 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 676281 B.

F 0689 Level of Harm - Actual harm Residents Affected - Few she did not. CNA C said at the time she received training in the facility for mechanical lift transfers she was told one person could use the mechanical lift with a resident if needed. CNA C said Resident #2 was injured during the transfer using the mechanical lift. CNA C explained she did not know exactly what happened to make the lift move during the transfer but remembered Resident #2 jarred their head into the lift when the attempt was made to move Resident #2 from the shower bed to the wheelchair and believed that was the possible cause. During an interview on 11/08/2023 at 1:44 p.m., Resident #2 said she and CNA C were the only two people in the shower room on 06/22/2023 when she sustained an injury to her nose and her hand.

During a phone interview on 11/09/2023 at 1:28 p.m., ADON B (a former employee of the facility), said at the time she was at the facility during her training of CNA staff she did provide education that one person can use a mechanical lift if needed however best practice was always to use two staff members when using the mechanical lift with a resident. ADON B said, it just depends on the patient. ADON B was no longer employed by the facility and did not comment further. During an interview on 11/10/2023 at 9:48 a.m., the Administrator said Resident #2 sustained and injury on 06/22/2023 in the shower room while being transferred by one CNA C described using the mechanical lift alone. The Administrator said, at that time and now best practice for use of the mechanical lift was two persons, however the manufacturer's recommendation was two person use with the lift but it can handle one person transfers depending on the healthcare professionals judgement. The Administrator said he believed CNA C, with her experience, felt confident in being able to transfer the resident along with Resident #2's approval and request. The Administrator said he did not know for sure how the Resident was injured. During an interview on 11/10/2023 at 3:57 p.m., LVN D said she was the charge nurse for Resident #2's hallway. LVN D said, she nor any other staff was in the shower room at the time of Resident #2's sustained an injury on 06/22/2023, she did not know what happened further stating, I didn't see I was not in the room. Record review of the hospital records dated 06/22/2023 indicated Resident #2 was seen on 06/22/2023 and treated for a nasal bone fracture, facial trauma, and a hand contusion. Record review of an undated Hydraulic Lift policy provided by the facility Administrator indicated Hydraulic Lift- Follow manufacturers transfer and maintenance recommendations. A Review of the facility provided owner's manual revealed the following information on page 24 of 52: the company name recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation and transferring to/from procedures; however, our equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional for each individual case.
