**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide timely toileting assistance and failed
to honor a resident's dignity and self?determination for one (R53) of three residents reviewed for resident
rights in a sample of 39. These failures resulted in R53 becoming incontinent of urine on multiple occasions
and lying in her own urine for over two hours, which resulted in R53 experiencing embarrassment and
disgust.Findings include:The facility's Certified Nursing Assistant job description reviewed 2/14/13,
documents the primary purpose of your job description is to provide your assigned residents with routine
daily nursing care procedures, and as may be directed by your supervisor. Record all entries on flow
sheets, notes, charts, ect., in an informative and descriptive manner. Assist resident with bowel and bladder
functions (i.e., take to bathroom, offer bed pan/urinal, portable commode, etc.). Maintain intake and output
records as instructed. Keep residents dry (i.e., change gown, clothing, linen, etc., whenever it becomes wet
or soiled). Keep incontinent residents clean and dry.R53's current care plan documents R53 will have
reduced episodes of incontinence. This same care plan documents R53 requires assistance of two staff
members for toileting.R53's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] documents R53 requires
two assist for toilet transfers.R53's medical record does not contain documentation of toileting R53, or if
R53 is continent or incontinent when staff assist R53 with toileting.On 11/18/25 at 9:15 AM, R53 was sitting
in her wheelchair in the hallway outside of the communal resident bathroom. On 11/18/2025 at 9:25 AM V9
(R53's Family Member) stated the facility does not have enough people to take the residents to the
bathroom especially after breakfast in the morning. All the staff are in dining room, and nobody is on the
floor to assist residents so by the time R53 can use the toilet she has already soiled herself. This upsets
R53 a lot because she does not want to soil herself and understands she needs to use the restroom. V9
stated she has spoken with V1 (Administrator) several times who says, we are trying to get people trained,
but nothing changes. Instead, they keep giving R53 medications to keep her quite because she gets upset
about not receiving the correct care. Over the weekend they (facility staff) didn't put an adult brief on her at
bedtime and when R53 woke up, she was wet and had to lay in urine for two hours before anyone helped
her. On 11/18/25 at 9:45 AM, R53 stated The staff are not taking me to the bathroom. They tell me 'I'll take
you in a minute.' I must wait 30 minutes to an hour normally to go to the restroom. This weekend the staff
didn't put an adult brief on me, and I laid in bed for a couple of hours needing to go to the bathroom. I had
my call light on, and I pounded on my bedside table with the call light, and nobody came. I don't pee the
bed. I am not that person, but I couldn't help it, so I had to pee the bed and lay in my urine for over two
hours. I was embarrassed and it was disgusting. On 11/18/25 at 11:00 AM, V22 (Ombudsman) stated V22
has had complaints of call lights not being answered and the lights are being turned off every right at 8:00
PM and after that the call lights are not answered. On 11/18/25 at 10:42 AM, V14 (CNA/Certified Nursing

Assistant) stated R53 lets us know when she needs to use the restroom. R53 will get someone or let us
know. R53 is continent and only is incontinent if she must wait too long to use the restroom. V14 stated we
do not have enough staff here to provide cares especially after breakfast. The past two weeks we have two
aides after 2:00 PM. Thursday and Friday of last week it was only (V14) and V19 (CNA) as the only aides
on the floor and it was very hard to get all the residents toileted and laid down in between meals. On
11/18/25 at 11:50 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that the facility does not have documentation whether
a resident was continent or incontinent and they only paper document resident bowel movements. V2
stated we used to document in electronic charting but V1 (Administrator) prefers to document. V2 confirms
she has no documentation of R53's toileting record. V2 further stated R53 will verbalize to staff when she
needs to use the restroom and will wheel herself to the resident bathroom in the hallway and wait for
assistance. V2 stated that staff is expected to answer call lights timely and assist residents with toileting.
