99 | GATEWAY TRANSITIONAL CARE CENTER | 135011 | 527 MEMORIAL DRIVE | POCATELLO | ID | 83201 | 2017-10-13 | 164 | D | 0 | 1 | 247411 | **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure a resident's privacy during peri care (cleaning between the resident's legs.) This was true for 1 of 17 sample residents (#4). This deficient practice created the potential for harm should Resident #4 become embarrassed if others observed her receiving peri care and her exposed body was seen by others. Findings include: Resident #4 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] and 7/3/17 with [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. On 10/11/17 at 4:55 pm, Resident #4 was lying in bed and CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) #3 entered the resident's room. CNA #3 told the resident she was going to change her disposable briefs and pulled the privacy curtain between the bed and the door. The window blinds were in the open position on the other side of the resident's bed. It was possible to see through the resident's window into a grassy courtyard with a bench facing towards the resident's window. The Courtyard was an open area for staff, visitors, and residents to walk around and sit on the bench. CNA #3 proceeded to pull down Resident #4's pants to her knees, exposing the abdomen, disposable brief, and upper legs. When asked if the resident's privacy was protected, CNA #3 looked at the window and said she should have closed the blinds. | 2020-09-01 |
