Findings include: On 1/21/25 at 11:10 AM, observed R9 lying in a bariatric bed. R9 was alert, oriented x 3. R9 had disheveled hair, nails were overgrown in both hands and both feet and the nails had brownish debris underneath them.

R9 stated, at the moment, her brief, bedsheet and her blanket were wet. R9 lifted her gown. Observed that R9 had a wet disposable brief. R9 stated, she had been wet for almost an hour. R9 stated, either she had to wait until someone comes in to check on her or she has to holler because her call light was not working. R9 stated, probably the CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) were on lunch break. R9's face-sheet showed she was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include congestive heart failure, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder and anxiety. MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 11/26/24 showed she was cognitively intact. R9 required moderate assistance with upper body functions and was totally dependent for lower body functions. Care-plan dated 11/26/24 addressed resident needs appropriately. On 1/21/25 at 10:00 AM, V11 (CNA) stated, she checks on her incontinent residents every 1-1.5 hours.

On 1/21/25 at 12:15 PM, V12 (CNA) stated, she checks on her residents and changes them every couple hours. On 1/21/25 at 1:00 PM, observed that R9 still had a wet disposable brief.

On 1/22/25 at 3:00 PM, V3 (DON-Director of Nursing) stated, nursing staff are expected to check on their residents every 1-2 hours. V3 stated, the CNAs know who in their assignment are wet more frequently and heavily. They should make rounds on such residents more frequently and ensure they are kept clean and dry at all times. Policy for ADL Care revised in August 2008, does not indicate the frequency or when residents must be checked and provided perineal care.
