During an inspection, the facility was found to have violated a patient’s right to privacy as there was a sign on the wall by a resident’s bed that read “no blood pressure, no venipuncture and no procedure on both arms.” This large sign also included personal and private accommodations and written communications about the resident. Other residents were also found to have similar signs near their beds.
