Arcadia Retirement Residence: Dignity Rights Violation - HI
Federal inspectors cited the facility following a complaint investigation completed November 21, 2025. The nurse, identified in inspection records as RN33, acknowledged she had not requested consent from the resident, identified as Resident 36, and confirmed she had not determined whether the resident even knew a video was being taken.
RN33 also acknowledged knowing the facility had a policy prohibiting recording without consent.
The facility's own counseling memo, dated October 17, 2025, documented the conclusion: RN33 had made an unauthorized video recording of a resident and had directed another nurse to distribute it, violating protocols covering privacy, documentation, and the protection of resident dignity.
The inspection report does not describe what the video showed, where it was shared, or how many people received it.
Inspectors classified the violation at the lowest level of harm, citing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with few residents affected. The citation fell under F0550, which covers resident rights and dignity.
What the record does not answer is whether Resident 36 ever learned a nurse had recorded them without permission, or that the video had been passed along.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
Professional review: All content reviewed by Christopher F. Nesbitt, Sr., NH EMT & BU-trained Paralegal.
