The Quarterly MDS assessment with an ARD date of 12/17/21 and the significant change in status MDS assessment with an ARD date of 1/28/22 noted Resident #21 used corrective lenses and her vision was adequate.

On 2/16/22 at 9:12 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff J said the urinary catheter drainage bag should never be on the floor because of germs and the risk of urinary tract infections.

The Culinary Director said the dining rooms remained closed due to dietary staffing challenges in serving residents in the dining room.
