Summary
A resident who was admitted to the facility requested that only female CNAs provide her care, communicating this preference to licensed nurses, CNAs, and the administrator. Despite this request, male CNAs continued to be assigned to her, as confirmed by both the resident and a male CNA who was assigned to her and whom she refused. The administrator acknowledged being informed of the resident's preference and stated that it was discussed in a staff meeting, but the resident's request was not consistently honored. The facility's policy affirms residents' rights to have their preferences supported, but this was not followed in the resident's case.
