The quarterly MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessment, dated 12/23/25, indicated the resident's cognition was intact.The incident report, dated 1/28/26 at 1:10 p.m., indicated Resident F reported that the Social Services Designee (SSD) came into her room with Resident G, and pulled Resident F's privacy curtain open hastily. The SSD then stated to Resident G, see, she [Resident F] is a woman. SSD then told Resident F that she needed to shave her face. Resident F told the SSD not to pull open her privacy curtain without asking.During an interview, on 1/28/26 at 1:30 p.m., Resident F indicated a few days ago that a new roommate (Resident G) moved into the room with her. After a short time, Resident F introduced herself to Resident G. A few hours later, the SSD whipped open Resident F's privacy curtain. The SSD was with Resident G and said, [Resident G's name] this is [Resident F's name], [Resident F's name] is not a man. The SSD then looked at Resident F, in front of Resident G, and told her you need to shave. Resident F indicated she was humiliated and felt horrible. Resident F was in shock at first, then cried. Resident F did not know the SSD had entered until the SSD flung her privacy curtain open.
All the other staff knock and say their names. The SSD did not. The written interview from the SSD, dated 1/28/26, indicated it was reported to the SSD on 1/27/26, that Resident G refused to sleep in the room with
a man. Resident G was moved into the room with Resident F. The SSD went to see Resident G and speak with her about Resident F not being a man and tried interventions to get Resident F to sleep since Resident F had not slept for 36 hours. The SSD went into the room with Resident G and pulled the privacy curtain. SSD then stated she introduced Resident F to Resident G and Resident G to Resident F and told Resident G that Resident F was a woman. Resident F said due to her facial hair, Resident G may have thought she was a man. The SSD told Resident F that she could get someone to help her shave.The written interview from the SSD lacked documentation of identifying herself to Resident F upon entering the room and asking Resident F for permission to pull back the privacy curtain.On 1/28/26 at 3:06 p.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant provided a current, undated copy of the document titled Your Rights and Protections as a Nursing Home Resident.
