Post a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all pertinent State agencies and advocacy
groups and a statement that the resident may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency.
Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to post pertinent names,
addresses, and phone numbers of the Office of the State/County Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program in
an area that was accessible to all residents and resident representatives.
Findings include:
Observation on the first day of the survey, April 2, 2024, revealed that the information to contact the
Ombudsman was posted on the upper/top part of a bulletin board on the way to the main dining room on
the nursing unit. The information was not at eye level nor was it accessible at eye level for someone who
utilized a wheelchair.
During a group interview on April 3, 2024, at 11:05 a.m., five of five alert and oriented residents, R3, R14,
R40, R46 and R47, stated that they were aware that there was an Ombudsman Program: however, they did
not know where the information was regarding how to contact the Ombudsman if they needed assistance
from that particular advocacy agency. In addition, Resident 14 stated that she had outdated information
about the Ombudsman and did not know who the current Ombudsman was for the facility.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
facility policy review, clinical record review, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to
implement physician's orders and follow bowel protocol for one of 18 sampled residents. (Resident 44)
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the facility policy entitled, Bowel Management, last reviewed January 8, 2024, revealed that staff
on all shifts were to monitor a resident's bowel movements and take action to prevent complications of
constipation and/or fecal impaction. The resident's bowel movements were to be charted daily in the clinical
record. Staff were to administer an oral laxative for no bowel movement in nine shifts. If ineffective, staff
were to administer a suppository the following shift. If the suppository was ineffective, staff were to
administer an enema on the following shift.
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 44 had diagnoses that included muscle weakness and
dysphagia. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident
was cognitively impaired. Review of the care plan revealed the resident had a history of constipation and
staff were to administer bowel protocol medications as needed. Review of physician's orders dated
February 10, 2024, directed staff to administer magnesium hydroxide suspension (an oral laxative) as
needed for no bowel movement in nine nursing shifts, a Dulcolax suppository as needed if an oral laxative
was ineffective, and an enema as needed if the Dulcolax suppository was ineffective. An additional
physician's order dated February 19, 2024, directed staff to administer a bisacodyl suppository as needed
for constipation.
Review of documentation and medication administration records for March and April 2024, revealed no
evidence that the resident had a bowel movement March 5 through 8 (12 shifts), March 10 through 13 (12
shifts), March 21 through 25 (15 shifts), and March 28 through April 2 (18 shifts). There was no
documentation to support that physician's orders and facility policy for bowel management were
implemented to address Resident 44's constipation/lack of bowel movements on the identified dates/shifts.
In an interview on April 4, 2024, at 11:07 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that staff did not
implement the physician's orders or follow bowel protocol per the facility policy.

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
clinical record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure
that catheter care and services were consistently provided for one of one sampled residents with an
indwelling urinary catheter. (Resident 47)
Findings included:
Clinical record review revealed that Resident 47 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that
included benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), urinary tract infection, and retention of urine.
Review of the Minimum Data Set assessment dated [DATE], revealed that the resident had no cognitive
impairment and had an indwelling urinary catheter. Review of Resident 47's current care plan revealed that
the resident had an indwelling catheter with an intervention to follow up with the urologist. In an interview on
April 2, 2024, at 12:01 p.m., Resident 47 stated staff did not assist him consistently with catheter care. On
November 22 and 27, 2023, the nurse practitioner documented that the resident was to have follow-up with
the urologist and that staff was to assist the resident with catheter care every shift. On February 14, 2024,
the nurse practitioner again documented that the resident was to follow-up with the urologist for further
evaluation. Review of the catheter care task documentation from March 5, 2025 through April 3, 2024,
revealed three shifts with missing documentation, 18 shifts documented as not applicable, and one shift
documented as not completed. There was also a lack of documentation to support that Resident 47 had
been seen by the urologist in a timely manner as recommended by the nurse practitioner.
In an interview on April 4, 2024, at 11:22 a.m., the Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no
documentation to support the urinary catheter care had been consistently completed and that Resident 47
