32 | bathroom, Resident 1 (R1) defecated on self because the line was too long to wait. No times or dates identified to when this incident had happened. Also, no witnesses were identified to corroborate with this allegation. Review of the facility sketch, past annual inspection reports, and a physical plant inspection reveal that the facility has two (2) bathrooms. Bathroom #1 located in the hallway beside bedroom #3 is for resident use. Bathroom #2 is for staff use. This is also identified during past annual inspections. Interviews with the five residents reveal no complaints or concerns regarding the use of the bathroom. These residents stated they've never encountered having to wait in line for a long period of time to use the bathroom designated to them. These residents also denied ever witnessing another resident defecate on themselves because the line was too long to wait and use the bathroom.
Based on the information obtained through interviews and FAS and record review of previous annual inspections, there isn't enough evidence to prove that Staff does not ensure residents are provided adequate use of bathrooms in the facility. Therefore, the allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time. Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report given.
Staff does not ensure residents are accorded personal privacy:
Regarding the allegation, it was reported that staff would walk into R1's room and invade their personal privacy without knocking on the door. R1 could not recall specific dates of when these occurrences have happened. Also no witnesses were provided to corroborate and confirm this allegation. Interviews with the administrator and staff deny the allegation stating that prior to entering a resident's room, they would knock the door and wait to be allowed access into the room before entering. Both also stated that they would make an announcement to the resident after being granted entry, letting the resident know that they are inside the room. Interviews with the five (5) residents also deny the allegation. These five residents stated that the administrator and staff respect their privacy, and always knock prior to entering their rooms.
