Resident 3 further stated she had to hold her urine and call a nurse to intervene and assist Resident 1 to complete bathroom use in a timely manner before she could access the bathroom. During an interview on 1/9/26, at 12:19 PM, with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated that Resident 1 required staff supervision to prevent prolonged bathroom used. CNA 1 stated that Resident 1 would go to the bathroom without using the call light for assistance and would remove her personal alarm which made it difficult for staff to be aware when Resident 1 was already in the bathroom.

During an interview on 1/9/26, at 12:51 PM, with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, LN 1 stated that Resident 1 was forgetful and could not remember the timing of her bathroom use, which caused Resident 1 to use the bathroom frequently and remain in the bathroom for extended periods.
