Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, interview, and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure Resident #38's
incontinence care was completed timely. This finding affected one resident (#38) of three residents
reviewed for incontinence care. The facility census was 69.
Findings include:
Review of Resident #38's medical record revealed the resident was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses
including multiple sclerosis, varicose veins, and difficulty in walking.
Review of Resident #38's Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed the
resident exhibited intact cognition, was always incontinent of urine and frequently incontinent of bowel.
Review of Resident #38's physician orders revealed an order dated 03/18/24 for a mechanical lift for all
transfers every shift.
Observation on 09/10/24 at 5:15 A.M. with State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #832 and STNA #849 of
Resident #38's transfer from the power wheelchair to the bed using a Hoyer mechanical lift did not reveal
concerns. Further observations revealed the pad underneath the resident was soaked with urine and the
resident's incontinence brief was soaked with urine.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 5:20 A.M. with Resident #38 revealed the resident put her call light on at
approximately 3:15 A.M. to be placed in bed for incontinence care, but the staff did not answer her call light.

he did not answer the call light because he did not see the call light was on.
Interview on 09/10/24 at 5:33 A.M. with STNA #832 confirmed Resident #38 was not provided timely
incontinence care. Further interview with STNA #832 confirmed her assignment was mixed up and she was
not aware she had Resident #38 on her assignment, and she did not provide timely incontinence care.
Review of the Incontinence Care policy, dated 12/22, revealed the purpose was to ensure a resident who
was incontinent of bowel and/or bladder received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary
tract infections and to restore continence to the extent possible.
This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00157185 and
