Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights.
Based on observation, clinical record review, video footage, family interview, staff interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to maintain a resident's dignity by failing to remove a gait belt assistive device
after usage for 1 of 3 residents reviewed (Resident #3). The facility identified a census of 99 residents.
Findings include: Resident #3's MDS assessments dated 7/11/25 and 7/22/25 identified a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 1, severely impaired cognition. The MDS indicated Resident #3 had fluctuating inattention, disorganized thinking, and wandered daily. Resident #3 required partial to moderate assistance with transfers and ambulation. The MDS included diagnoses of a non-traumatic brain dysfunction, Alzheimer's Disease, and anxiety. The Care Plan Approach dated 8/1/25 identified Resident #3 needed everyone to know he required assistance from 1 staff member with a walker and a gait belt for transfers and/or ambulation. Review of the facility's video footage along with the management staff documentation indicated on 9/26/25 at 7:14:08 p.m. Resident #3 stood at the front door with a gait belt around his waist, without staff present. During an interview on 10/9/25 at 3:49 p.m. Staff A, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)/Certified Medication Aide (CMA), confirmed it has never been acceptable to have leave a gait belt around a resident's waist when not in use. A Dignity policy and procedure form revised February 2021 indicated each resident should receive care in a manner the promoted and enhanced their sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life and feelings of self-work and self-esteem.

facility didn't have other staff members in the living room area with the residents. When she completed cares with the resident, she assisted them out of their room and still heard the alarm as it sounded but thought it odd nobody responded to the alarm. So, she walked towards the main entrance with the resident and as she approached, she observed the family member with Resident #3 inside the building close to the front door. The staff member sat the resident down she assisted out of her room on the bench located close to the alarm, shut it off, and approached the family member with Resident #3 and asked if she knew what had been going on. The family member told her she came to the building to spend some time with her family member after supper, as she did daily and stayed at the door for approximately 5 minutes as she waited for some staff to open the door. She mentioned she didn't observe any staff out in the common area, so she decided to stay there and waited until her family member stood up, walked to the door, held the door handle for approximately 15 seconds until it unlocked and she walked in. The staff member recalled that
she checked the clock at the time of the incident and it had been between 7:20 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The staff member didn't know the location of Staff F and Staff A at the moment of the incident but they both claimed to be in resident's rooms.
