Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide perineal, urinary catheter, and wound care per standards of practice to prevent infections for 1 (R1) of 3 residents reviewed for infection control in a sample of 3. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: R1's admission Record documented an admission date of 10/8/24 with diagnoses including enterocolitis due to clostridium difficile, local infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, flaccid hemiplegia affecting right dominant side, cerebral infarction.
