OAR411-004-0020(1)(c) Individual Rights Settings: Privacy, Dignity (1) Residential and non-residential HCB settings must have all of the following qualities: (c) The setting ensures individual rights of privacy, dignity, respect, and freedom from coercion and restraint. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation and interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure privacy and dignity related to locks on bathroom doors for shared bathrooms. Findings include but are not limited to: The facility consisted of a total of 25 rooms, 12 with shared bathrooms. During an interview and observation with Staff 3 (Plant Operation Manager) on 07/07/25 at 2:20 pm, he confirmed the shared bathrooms did not have a locking mechanism on the inside of the bathroom door to ensure resident privacy. At the time of the survey, 10 rooms were occupied with residents who shared a bathroom. The inability to lock the bathroom door from the inside for residents who shared the bathroom and used it for their toileting needs raised concerns regarding residents’ rights to privacy and dignity. The need to ensure residents’ rights to privacy and dignity related to locks on bathroom doors was reviewed with Staff 1 (Executive Director), Staff 4 (Health Services Administrator), Staff 5 (Memory Care Administrator), and Staff 6 (Memory Care Coordinator) on 07/09/25. They acknowledged the findings.

Plan of Correction

#1 Locks will be installed on shared bathroom doors in 6 apartments that share bathrooms. #2 The locks are permanent. #3 Locks will be tested by residents once installed. #4 Plant Operations Manager, Memory Care Coordinator and Executive Director are responsible.
