Summary
The facility failed to provide required privacy measures for residents in semiprivate rooms, as evidenced by the absence of ceiling-suspended privacy curtains around the beds of two residents. Observations conducted on multiple occasions revealed that both residents, who were sharing rooms with roommates, did not have the necessary privacy curtains installed to ensure visual privacy. Staff interviews confirmed that these residents were in semiprivate rooms and acknowledged the lack of privacy curtains. The Director of Nursing also confirmed that residents in such rooms should have ceiling-suspended privacy curtains to maintain privacy.
