interview and record review the facility failed to provide timely toileting for one (R4) resident resulting in an
incontinence episode out of four residents reviewed for timeliness of cares in a sample list of four residents.
Findings include:
R4's undated Face Sheet documents R4's medical diagnoses as Muscle Wasting and Atrophy, Diabetes
Mellitus Type II, Morbid Obesity, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Weakness, Dependence
on Wheelchair, Left Above the Knee Amputation and Spinal Stenosis.
R4's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE] documents R4 as cognitively intact. This same MDS
documents R4 requires maximum assistance with toileting, bathing, dressing and personal hygiene.
R4's Careplan intervention dated 3/11/24 documents R4 requires the assistance of two staff to transfer with
a total body mechanical lift.
Resident Council Minutes dated 7/2/24 document New business: Certified Nurse Aide (CNA)/Nursing
Concerns Answer call buttons quicker (two residents said they waited two hours). CNA comes into the room
to turn off the call button and leaves without helping.
R4's Concern/Grievance Form dated 9/15/24 documents R4 waited two and a half hours to go the the
bathroom on 9/14/24 at 9:30 PM. This same form documents R4's concerns was 'partially substantiated'
due to call light check time of one hour and 20 minutes. This same form documents Educated staff on
importance of timely response to call lights and that they are the responsibility of all staff not just your own
assignment.
On 9/19/24 at 9:50 AM R4 stated I was so upset the other night. It was Saturday (9/14/24) night after
supper. I normally eat supper, then use the bedpan and then go to bed. So, Saturday night, I ate my supper
and told one of the Certified Nurse Aides (CNA) (V24) that I needed to use the restroom. There were only
two CNA's (V23, V24) on duty that night for our whole unit. We (facility) really need more than that. The staff
told me they were short handed that night. So, after I told (V24) I needed to use the bedpan, I went to my
room and put on my call light. I had put on my call light four times that night and either (V23) or (V24) would
come in, shut my light off and say they would be back but they would never come back so I would put my
light back on. I know I am not the only person that needs help. I am willing to wait my turn but I can't hold
my bladder that long. I have to wait for help because I only have one leg. I don't wet my pants unless I can't
get help to the bedpan. That

Residents Affected - Few
night (9/14) I had to wait two and a half hours before they (V23, V24) helped me to the bedpan. By that
time, I had wet all over myself, my pants and it was all over my wheelchair. I smelled so bad of urine. I was
just humiliated. (R4 had tears rolling down her cheeks as she was describing this incident). I should not
have to wait so long. This isn't the first time this has happened. I had to wait four hours one time a couple of
months ago. I talked to (V2) Director of Nurses (DON) about that one. That is why they (facility) moved me
to this unit (West). I was told that the [NAME] unit had more staff to be able to help me. I have just had
enough. Nothing is changing. This facility needs more staff so that I don't have to sit in my own urine for
hours at a time.
On 9/19/24 at 1:15 PM V2 Director of Nurses (DON) stated V2 was aware of R4's concern from 9/14/24. V2
stated I interviewed the staff and reviewed the call light time logs. (R4's) light was listed on that log as being
activated for one hour and twenty minutes the late evening of 9/14/24. The staff should have not made (R4)
wait that long to use the bedpan. I am sure that was embarrassing for (R4). I educated the staff about
responding to call lights and/or resident requests for assistance timely. I have been working on getting staff
to answer lights more timely. I will inservice again and again and it still happens.
The facility policy titled Dignity revised 4/23/18 documents the facility shall promote care for residents in a
manner and in an environment that maintains or enhances each resident's dignity and respect in full
recognition of his or her individuality. Staff shall carry out activities in a manner which assists the resident to
maintain and enhance his/her self-esteem and self-worth.
