Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to provide ADL (Activity of Daily
Living) care to residents who are dependent on staff assistance with ADLs for two (R4, R5) out of four
residents reviewed for incontinence care. This failure resulted in R4 experiencing pain, feeling humiliated
and crying. Finding include,R4's clinical indicates the following in part: lack of coordination, systemic
inflammatory response syndrome, cauda equina syndrome, primary generalized osteoarthritis, and major
depressive disorder. R4's minimum data set [MDS] Brief Interview Mental Status Score [15] indicates R4 is
cognitively intact. R4's MDS section [GG] indicates R4 is dependent on toileting hygiene, bed mobility and
requires extensive assistance from staff.R4's Care plan in part:R4 has a self-care performance deficit due
to weakness, impaired balance, lack of coordination, activity intolerance, incontinence related to
generalized weakness, and cauda equina syndrome. R5's clinical record indicates the following in part; R5's
medical diagnosis of spinal stenosis, weakness, gastrostomy, pressure ulcer wound on sacral area,
polyosteoarthritis.R5's minimum data set [MDS] Brief Interview Mental Status Score [5] indicates R5 is
moderately cognitively impaired. R5's MDS section [GG] indicates R5 is dependent on toileting hygiene,
bed mobility and requires extensive assistance from staff. R5's Care plan in part:R5 has a ADL self-care
performance deficit due to weakness, impaired balance, lack of coordination, activity intolerance,
incontinence related sepsis, seizures, depression, bilateral osteoarthritis of knee and spinal stenosis. On
1/27/26 during facility tour at 9:00AM, across from the nursing station surveyor observed a room with R4
resting in bed, alert and oriented x3. Surveyor noted a strong odor of feces. R4 stated, I'm doing alright.
After breakfast I had a bowel movement, and I need to be changed I just turned on the call light. The
staffing is terrible. I always wait a long time sometimes for hours before I get changed and cleaned up. I use
my urinal. I just need assistant when I have a bowel movement. On 1/27/26 at 9:05 AM, Surveyor exited the
room with R4's call light sounding and observed V9 [Licensed Practical Nurse] in the same hallway two
doors down from R4's room at the medication cart. Along with V7 [Certified Nurse Assistant] walking past
R4's room three times between 9:06AM to 9:20AM. V9 nor V7 entered R4's room. On 1/27/26 at 9:22AM,
surveyor asked V9 if she was the nurse for R4, and who was the certified nurse assistant for R4. V9 stated,
I am the nurse for R4, and V8 [Certified Nurse Assistant] is assigned to R4's room. V8 was sent out on a
medical appointment with a resident, she left around 8:30AM. I am not sure what time V8 will return. V7 and
V37 [Certified Nurse Assistant] are the other aids and will cover and provide care to V8's assigned
residents. On 1/27/26 at 10:00AM, Surveyor observed V7 entered R4's room, turned off the call light and
exited the room. On 1/27/26 at 10:15AM, surveyor entered R4's room, R4 stated while crying tears, V7
answered my call light, V7 said she was busy with another resident, but will come help me in a few minutes.
Please don't make them clean me, I want you to see how long it really takes them to clean me up. This
makes me feel like a dog, lying here in my own feces while but buttocks is itching and burning.Surveyor
conducted surveillance of R4's room on 1/27/26

from 9:00 AM to 11:50 AM. V7 did not return back to R4's room. R4 turned back on his call light at 11:45
AM, V37 [Certified Nurse Assistant] answered the call light. V37 exited R4's room at 11:50AM, and V37
returned with supplies and initiated ADL incontinence care to R4 three hours later [9:00AM to 12:00PM R4
was soiled with feces]. On 1/27/26 at 12:24PM, V7 [Certified Nurse Assistant] stated, I answered R4's light
he reported he needed to be cleaned up after having a bowel movement, I did tell him I would be back, but I
forgot. I was so busy with my own assigned residents. There are only two of us on this floor with
approximately forty or more residents that need assistance. I am not sure why they sent V8 out on a
medical appointment. Staffing has been an issue working short for over two months. On 1/27/26 at
10:20AM, during surveillance of R4's room, a couple rooms down from R4's room, surveyor heard
someone yelling out for help. R5 was in bed, stated, I am wet and need help. I been wet a long
time.Surveyor turned on R5's call light. 10:22AM. V9 [Licensed Practical Nuse] turned off the call light and
came out the room and went back to the nursing station. At 11:10AM, surveyor asked R5 was she still wet.
R5 stated, Yes, I am still wet. The lady said she will be back. On 1/27/26 at 11:30 AM, surveyor asked V9
what did R5 requested, when she answered the call light. V9 stated, R5 needs to be cleaned up. I told one
of the aides, I don't remember which one. I have an admission coming and need to get report. Staffing has
been an issue for a while; we work together to do the best we can. Someone will help R5 soon as possible.
On 1/27/29 at 11:58 AM, V8 [Certified Nurse Assistant] retuned back to unit from escorting a resident to
medical appointment. At 12:15PM, surveyor asked V8 if she could provide ADL incontinence care to R5. V8
stated, I was sent out to go with a resident to their medical appointment. There are other aides that could
have gone instead of me. There are restorative certified nurse assistants, and a wound care certified nurse
assistant. They are not assigned to residents.V8 went to R5's room and provided care. R5 was wet from
10:22AM to 12:15PM [two hours]. On 1/27/26 R17, said the staffing is not sufficient and they have to wait a
long time for assistance. They all said the facility needs more certified nurse assistants. On 1/27/26 at 3:05
PM V3 [Acting Director of Nursing/Nurse Consultant] stated, I became the acting director of nursing on
1/13/26. I was not made aware V8 [Certified Nurse Assistant] was sent out on a medical appointment. I
rather had sent another certified nurse assistant such as restorative, or wound care aide. My expectation
related to ADL incontinence care is that care is provided as soon as possible. For a resident to wait three
hours for assistance is not acceptable. If a resident is left wet or soiled for two to three hours, it could
potentially cause infection, skin breakdown, pain or feelings of sadness and/or dignity issues. Policy in
part:Certified Nurse Assistant Job Description:Provide residents with daily nursing care in accordance with
current federal, state and local standards, guidelines, and regulations.Provide ADL assistants to a specific
number of residents and or directed by nursing staff. 483.24(a)(2) ADL Care Provided for Dependent
ResidentsS483.24(a)(2) A resident who is unable to carry out activities of daily living receives the
necessary services to maintain goodnutrition, grooming, and personal and oral hygiene.

there should be an order for the oxygen, the care plan that addresses it, typically the oxygen is documented
how often the titration is checked, make sure they have the appropriate setting, equipment and humidity.
The staff should make sure they have a physician order for the oxygen unless it is an emergency. If
someone is in respiratory distress the doctor will be notified but oxygen can be administered as lifesaving
interventions. The nasal cannula when not in use and nebulizer mask should be stored in a clean bag at the
resident beside for infection control purposes. The nasal cannula should have the date it was changed. The
nurse should do a daily assessment and if the nasal cannula does not have a date or is stored in a bag it
should be discarded and replaced. The wall oxygen flow rate adjusters are called oxygen flow meter with
the connector. If a resident does not have an order for oxygen it should not be in their room. If the oxygen is
not on the correct setting the resident may not get enough oxygen or if the oxygen rate is to high the
resident can end up with hypercapnia. If the nebulizer mask is not in a bag there is an issue of infection
control. It the oxygen flow meter is off it is possible that R9 was not getting enough oxygen.Policy:Titled

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in
charge on each shift.
Based on observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to have adequate staffing to ensure
two (R4, R5) out of eight residents reviewed for ADL (Activities of Daily Living) needs are met in a timely
manner. The facility's short staffing has the potential to affect all residents residing on the second floor and
third floors. On 1/27/26 at 8:15 AM, V30 [R3's Family Member] stated, On 12/25/25 around 5PM, I noticed
the nurse earlier was not there. A certified nurse assistant reported the nurse from 7AM to 3PM was gone
and there was one nurse on the other side. I walked to the other end of the third floor and spoke to V33
[Registered Nurse]. V33 reported the 3PM to 11PM nurse called off. V33 said she was not liable for all fifty
residents on the entire floor. I went to the front desk and asked V36 [Facility Receptionist] to call the
administrator [V1]. I heard V36 explain to V1 my concerns, V36 replied V1 would get coverage. There is
always a staffing issue at the facility. There were several times R3's under brief was entirely wet and soiled
with feces stuck to her body. R3 is no longer at the facility, I moved her to another nursing facility.
On 1/27/26 during facility tour at 9:00AM, across from the nursing station surveyor observed a room with

On 1/27/26 at 10:00AM, Surveyor observed V7 entered R4's room, turned off the call light and exited the
room. R4 tuned the call light back on.
On 1/27/26, Surveyor conducted surveillance of R4's room on 1/27/26 from 9:00 AM to 11:50 AM. At 11:45
AM, V37 [Certified Nurse Assistant] answered the call light. V37 exited R4's room at 11:50AM, and V37
returned with supplies and initiated ADL incontinence care to R4 three hours later [9:00AM to 12:00PM R4
was soiled with feces].
On 1/27/26 at 12:24PM, V7 [Certified Nurse Assistant] stated, I answered R4's light he reported he needed
to be cleaned up after having a bowel movement, I did tell him I would be back, but I forgot. I was so busy
with my own assigned residents. There are only two of us on this floor with approximately forty or more
residents that need assistance. I am not sure why they sent V8 out on a medical appointment. Staffing has
been an issue working short for over two months.
On 1/27/26 at 10:20AM, Surveyor heard someone yelling out for help. R5 was in bed, stated, I am wet and

On 1/27/29 at 11:58 AM, V8 [Certified Nurse Assistant] retuned back to unit from escorting a resident to
medical appointment. At 12:15PM, surveyor asked V8 if she could provide ADL incontinence care to R5. V8
stated, I was sent out to go with a resident to their medical appointment. There are other aides that could
have gone instead of me. There are restorative certified nurse assistants, and a wound care certified nurse
assistant. They are not assigned to residents.
Residents Affected - Some
V8 went to R5's room and provided care. R5 was wet from 10:22AM to 12:15PM [two hours].
On 1/27/26 R6, R9, R14, R15, R17, and R18 all said the staffing is not sufficient and they have to wait a
long time for assistance. They all said the facility needs more certified nurse assistants.
On 1/27/26 at 1:10 PM V10 [Nurse Scheduler/Certified Nurse Assistant] stated, The staffing requirements
on 12/25/25 are:
Second- floor is rehab and dialysis residents. The census is around 45 residents. I staff three certified nurse
assistants and two nurses for first [7AM- 7PM] and second shift [7PM to 7AM], and two nurse assistants for
third shift.
On the third-floor west unit is resident that requires respiratory care. There are about thirty-two residents.
The first shift 7Am-3PM and second shift 3PM-11PM requires two nurses and three certified nurse
assistants. Third shift, 11PM- 7AM, requires two nurses and two certified nurse assistants.
On the third-floor vent unit the first shift from 7AM to 7PM and 7PM-7AM shift requires two nurses and
three certified nurse assistants.
On the fourth floor there are more independent residents, about seventy residents. I will try to staff three
nurses for first shift 7AM-3PM and second shift 3PM-11PM. Third shift 11PM-7AM requires two nurses and
four certified nurse assistants.
On 12/25/25, three nurses called off work. A nurse called off for the second floor 3PM-11PM shift, nurse
called off from 7PM to 7AM on the third-floor vent and trach unit, a nurse called off the fourth floor for 11PM
to 7AM shift. I could not find nurse replacements for the vacancies. I texted V34 [Former Director of
Nursing], V28 and V9 both assistant director of nursing, and V1 [Administrator] of the call offs and there
was no replacement located.
On 12/25/25, The staffing was as follows:
On the second floor there was one nurse for the second shift [3PM-11PM], two nurses are needed. The
third-floor vent unit 7AM-7PM there was one nurse, two nurses are needed. The one nurse on the vent unit
was alone for the vent unit and the west unit from 3PM to 9PM. The fourth floor was managed well, the
residents on the fourth floor are independent.
On 1/28/26 at 10:27 AM V25 [Registered Nurse] stated, On 12/25/25, I was the only nurse working on the
second-floor form 7AM -7PM. There are normally two nurses. I notified V34 [Former Director of Nursing].
V34 told me I was reasonable for all the residents. The facility is always short-staffed. I resigned from
working there on 12/28/25 due to the staff shortage it was not safe working there.
On 1/28/26 at 10:50 AM, V29 [Assistant Director of Nursing] stated, I was off work on vacation with
approved time off. I was not made aware of the nursing shortage on 12/25/25, due to my cell phone

short staffed. The Second floor is good for working with one nurse. The third floor is good to have only one
nurse for the vent unit and the three-west unit. I did not receive any communication from V1 or anyone else
about any staffing issues on 12/25/25. Today when the aide was sent out on an appointment. The
second-floor staff was good with two nurse assistants working with forty-five residents, there was nothing
wrong with that at all. A resident should not wait for three hours to be cleaned. It was not a staff issue.

medical appointment. I rather had sent another certified nurse assistant such as restorative, or wound care
aide. My expectation related to ADL incontinence care is that care is provided as soon as possible. For a
resident to wait three hours for assistance is not acceptable. The second floor should have two nurses. The
third-floor vent unit needs its own nurse, and the west unit needs a nurse designated to that unit to provide
adequate care. The facility does not have a staffing policy.
On 1/28/26 at 3:24 PM, V1 [Administrator] stated, I was notified by V10 [Nurse Scheduler] on 12/25/25,
there was a staffing issues with nurses calling off work. I called V34[Former Director of Nursing] and he
reported he was not the on call nursing manager for 12/25/25. After that communication, V34 did not
respond anymore. I contacted the two Assistant Director of Nursing V28 and V29. V29 did not respond, later
I found out her phone was broken. V28 did not respond. I called staff nurses offering a bonus and I phoned
the nursing agency, but no one was available to work. I did not mandate any nurse managers to come into
work. I did not find any nursing coverage. The staff worked short on 12/25/25. The facility does not have a
staffing policy.

Findings include:
Daily Schedule for Tuesday, 1/27/2026, documents in part one nurse, V14, for 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM shift on
the vent unit. Second nurse slot was blank. There were two CNAs (Certified Nurse Aides), V15 and V16 for
the unit. The third CNA slot was blank.
On 01/27/2026 at 10:49 AM, V16 (CNA) stated the vent unit should have two nurses and three CNAs but
there's only one nurse and two CNAs for today. V16 stated when the unit is short staffed, the workload
increases. V16 stated most of the residents on the unit are bed bound and total assist, so it makes it difficult
to take care of everyone properly. V16 stated residents will complain and there's only so much the staff can
do when they're short staffed. V16 stated residents would complain about the staff not coming right away to
change them or would complain that the call lights were on for a while. V16 stated the residents will also
complain about the food being cold if there's not enough staff to pass the food trays right away.
On 01/27/2026 at 11:33 AM, R15 stated there are not enough CNAs. When the facility is short staffed, the
CNAs are slow to change people because they're spread short taking care of a lot of dependent and heavy
residents.
On 01/27/2026 at 11:58 AM, R16 stated there's not enough nurses and CNAs for the third floor. R16 stated
most of the time, the floor has three nurses when it's supposed to have four. R16 stated last month there
was a day when there were only two nurses in the unit because staff called off and facility did not find
replacements. R16 also stated the floor does not have enough CNAs. R16 stated needing staff assistance
with bowel movements. R16 stated staff are supposed to change R16 right away but would wait for hours to
get it done when short staffed. R16 stated short staffing occurs most during the weekends and holidays.
On 01/27/2026 at 12:14 PM, V15 (CNA) stated we need more help. V15 stated there should be two nurses
and three CNAs on the vent unit but it's short one nurse and one CNA today. V15 stated the facility had to
redo the assignments and split the 3 [NAME] staff to help cover the workload on the vent unit.
