The Stage 2 Sample was 24. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Rooms B1, B2, and B3 Observations of these rooms, on 06/22/15 between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., revealed each room held two (2) beds. -- The privacy curtain went across the foot of the bed for the bed nearest the door. -- A second curtain was located between the beds from the wall at the head of the bed to about 4 feet from the opposite wall. -- There was no curtain that went across the foot of the bed of the resident nearest the window. -- The common bathroom was at the foot of the bed for the resident nearest the window. There was also a common sink, with a mirror above it, on the wall at which the middle privacy curtain did not reach. With that curtain pulled, residents could see each other on the opposite side of the curtain. b) The facility also had twelve (12) additional rooms with the same floor plan and bed arrangements. The privacy curtains in those rooms also failed to allow for full visual privacy. c) Observation with the facility Administrator and the Maintenance Supervisor, on 06/24/15 at 8:55 a.m., verified the resident in the bed next to the window did not have visual privacy from a roommate or anyone using the sink or common bathroom. The Administrator said, We have extra track and curtains. We will get that fixed. I have never looked at the curtains that way.	2019-01-01
