- D Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Inspectors wroteBased on interviews and record review, the facility failed to respect the residents' right to personal privacy, including the right to send and promptly receive unopened mail and other letters, packages and other materials delivered to the facility for the residents, including those delivered through a means other than a postal service, for 1 resident (Res1) of 4 residents interviewed. The facility failed to respect Res1's right to privacy by opening his mail without his permission. This failure could result in Res1 losing trust in staff and feeling disrespected and violated.

- G Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure the resident environment remains as free of accident hazards as is possible for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #1) reviewed for safety. On 12/11/25 the facility failed to identify a hazard when Resident #1 was served her tea that was hot enough to create 1st and 2nd degree burns after it spilled on her. The facility failed to ensure staff knew the facility policy for Hot Beverage Preparation & Burn Safety and continued to serve hot liquids that were out of range from their policy limits. This failure could place cognitively impaired residents at risk for accidents, injuries, and a diminished quality of life.
