Failure to Provide Privacy During Bed Bath
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain privacy and confidentiality of a resident’s personal and medical care during a bed bath. During an observation on 7/23/25 at 9:35 AM, a CNA and the ADON entered the resident’s room and closed the door, while the resident’s roommate remained in the room sitting in a wheelchair facing the resident’s bed. The CNA gathered supplies to provide a bath but did not pull the privacy curtain around the resident’s bed. The CNA then removed the resident’s right arm from the gown, exposing the right breast, and subsequently removed the left arm from the gown, exposing both breasts and the abdomen, all while the privacy curtain remained open and the roommate was present and facing the bed. Another staff member entered the room and spoke with the ADON while the resident remained exposed, and only afterward did the CNA pull the privacy curtain to finish bathing the resident. On 7/25/25 at 9:50 AM, the ADON stated that the resident’s door should be closed and the privacy curtain pulled around the resident’s bed to provide privacy prior to providing resident care.
