Eastview Manor Care Center: Dignity Violations - MO
The first resident was standing at the nurses' station counter near the building entrance when they asked CNA A for a snack just before 10:30 in the morning. CNA A said, in what inspectors described as a disrespectful tone, that she had already given the resident a snack. Then came the second line: "Backup you know the drill." The resident sighed heavily, looked down at the floor, and walked away without the snack.
Five minutes later, the resident told the inspector that nursing staff were "upset, rude, and short tempered often and speak harshly to me and others." The resident said they were mad and sad about how CNA A had spoken to them.
That resident's care plan, updated in April, noted diagnoses of traumatic brain injury, dementia, major depressive disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and profound intellectual disabilities. It flagged a history of verbal aggression when upset and instructed staff to speak in a slow, calm manner. It did not list any specific interventions for when the resident's behavior escalated.
The snack was never provided.
At 12:30 that afternoon, CNA A was helping another resident to a table in the dining room when the second resident, seated in a wheelchair, began moving backward away from their table. CNA A turned and told the resident, in a loud voice and disrespectful tone, to "stop moving." The resident looked at CNA A and began hollering.
That resident's care plan described someone who communicated through facial expressions, gestures, and movements that did not always match their words. It noted they became nervous and restless with hollering. The diagnoses listed were autistic disorder, epilepsy, severe intellectual disabilities, intermittent explosive disorder, and cerebral palsy. The resident was dependent on staff for every activity of daily living.
When inspectors interviewed CNA A that evening, she acknowledged what had happened. "I was short tempered with the resident about the snack as I was frustrated," she said. She added that residents' behaviors "can be frustrating at times" and that when staff become upset, the right move is to walk away and tell the charge nurse.
She knew the protocol. She did not follow it.
The assistant director of nursing, interviewed the same evening, said she expected all staff to treat residents with dignity and respect, and that if a resident asks for a snack, staff should accommodate that need. The administrator said the same: staff should not be limiting resident snacks, and anyone who cannot treat residents with dignity should walk away and find help.
Both interviews happened more than six hours after the first incident. Neither the inspection report nor the interviews indicated that any action had been taken against CNA A before inspectors arrived.
The facility's own dignity policy, last updated in September 2025, states that all staff should treat residents with dignity and respect and speak to them respectfully. The inspection covered six sampled residents. Two of them experienced this.
Inspectors rated the harm level as minimal, the lowest tier on the federal scale. That classification reflects the regulatory judgment about physical or clinical injury, not about what it means to be a person with dementia or cerebral palsy, dependent on others for everything, told to back up and stop moving by the person assigned to care for you.
The resident who asked for a snack walked away looking at the floor. They did not get what they asked for.

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.
