Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the failure to honor a resident's right to request, refuse, or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive. The report notes that the facility did not ensure these resident rights were upheld, as required by regulations. Specific actions or omissions by facility staff led to this deficiency, but the report does not provide further details about the individual circumstances or the residents involved. The deficiency centers on the lack of adherence to protocols that protect resident autonomy in medical decision-making and participation in research, as well as the right to establish advance directives.
