Summary
The facility failed to ensure resident privacy during personal care for one resident. On two separate occasions, a resident was observed lying in bed near a window that faced a public patio area. During a brief change, a staff member only partially closed the privacy curtain and did not close the window curtain, resulting in the resident's backside being exposed and visible from the outside patio. The staff member later acknowledged forgetting to close the window curtain. The resident expressed concern about the possibility of being seen from outside during the care activity.
