and promptly receive unopened mail and other
letters, packages and other materials delivered
to the facility for the resident, including those
delivered through a means other than a postal
service.
§483.10(h)(3) The resident has a right to
secure and confidential personal and medical

(i) The resident has the right to refuse the
release of personal and medical records except
as provided at §483.70(h)(2) or other
applicable federal or state laws.

review, the facility failed to ensure nursing staff
closed the privacy curtain for four of ten
sampled residents (Resident 5, Resident 6,
Resident 7, and Resident 8) while receiving

right for privacy and had the potential to affect
the self-esteem, self-worth, and psychosocial
well-being of Residents 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Findings:
a) During a review of Resident 5 ' s Admission
Record, the Admission Record indicated
Resident 5 was admitted to the facility on

incontinence, based on the resident's
comprehensive assessment, the facility must
ensure that a resident who is incontinent of
bowel receives appropriate treatment and
services to restore as much normal bowel
function as possible.
This REQUIREMENT is not met as evidenced
by:
Based on observation, interview, and record
review, the facility failed to provide one of ten
sampled residents (Resident 1) proper
incontinence care when a towel was left inside
the resident ' s adult brief.
This deficient practice had the potential to
cause skin breakdown and infection to
Resident 1.

Record, the Admission Record indicated
Resident 1 was initially admitted to the facility
on 12/28/2017 and readmitted on 4/4/2024 with
diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy
(a problem in the brain caused by a chemical
imbalance in the blood), acute respiratory
failure (a condition that makes it difficult to
breathe on your own), and cerebral infarction
(damage to brain tissues due to a loss of
oxygen in the area).
During a review of Resident 1 ' s History and
Physical (H&P), dated 4/5/2024, the H&P

Data Set ([MDS], a standardized assessment
and care screening tool) dated 6/26/2024, the
MDS indicated Resident 1 rarely/never
understood others and was rarely/never
understood by others. The MDS indicated
Resident 1 was totally dependent on staff for all

personal hygiene, showering, upper and lower
body dressing, putting on footwear, rolling left

During a review of Resident 1 ' s Care plan
dated 4/25/2024, the Care Plan indicated
Resident 1 was incontinent of bowel and
bladder function (inability to control the flow of
urine and stool from the body). The care plan
indicated the nursing approach would be to
check Resident 1 every two hours for soiled
diaper and provide incontinence care for each
episode and to keep the resident clean and dry.

on 9/3/2024 at 4:57 p.m. with Certified Nursing
Assistant (CNA) 1 in Resident 1 ' s room,
Resident 1 had a towel soaked with urine in his
adult briefs. CNA 1 stated, Resident 1 had a
towel in the adult brief and the towel was not
supposed to be in the adult brief. CNA 1 stated
the towel in the diaper could cause an infection
to the resident.
During an interview on 9/4/2024 at 4:32 p.m.
with the Director of Staff Development (DSD),
the DSD stated towels were not supposed to
be in the adult briefs because if the towel was

with urine, and could cause an infection or
cause a rash and skin damage to the resident.
