Summary
The facility failed to maintain personal privacy for a resident by not having a privacy curtain installed in the resident's room. The resident, who was alert and oriented, reported that there had not been a privacy curtain since admission and that she was unable to close the door herself when using a bed pan, despite having requested the curtain be installed. Observations on multiple occasions confirmed the absence of a privacy curtain in the room. Both the Maintenance Manager and the Chief Nursing Officer were unaware of the missing curtain prior to being informed during the survey.
