Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident in a semi-private room was observed on two separate occasions to lack a ceiling-suspended privacy curtain around their bed, as required to ensure privacy. During interviews, a Certified Nursing Assistant confirmed that the resident was sharing the room with a roommate and acknowledged that the privacy curtain was missing and should not have been. The facility administrator also confirmed that a privacy curtain is required for residents in semi-private rooms and acknowledged the absence of the curtain for this resident.
