Summary
The facility failed to treat residents with respect and dignity as evidenced by two residents with uncovered urinary drainage bags that were visible from the open doorway of their rooms. One resident, admitted with pneumonia and urinary tract infection, and another with a history of sepsis, both had their urinary drainage bags left uncovered during observations. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the bags should have been covered but were not. Additionally, a resident with diabetes and major depressive disorder was addressed by an LPN using her room number rather than her name while in the hallway, which was acknowledged by the Assistant Director of Nursing as not being the appropriate practice.
