Summary
The facility failed to provide an environment that promotes resident respect and dignity, as evidenced by a resident ambulating down a hallway wearing only a hospital gown that was hanging off one shoulder and exposing the resident's back. During interviews, a Geriatric Nursing Assistant stated that many residents were seen in hospital gowns because they did not have clothes. Observation of the resident's closet revealed only one sweatshirt available. The Registered Nurse confirmed the resident had been exposed while walking in the hallway, and the Assistant Director of Nursing acknowledged that such exposure would be considered a dignity issue.
