Record review of Resident #7's care plan dated 4/23/25 indicated that she has an altered urinary elimination related to: history of recurrent UTI.

There was a strong odor of urine in her bedroom as well as the bedroom of her suitemate. She stated that she felt staff change her brief as needed and that though she does not like being in a facility she has nothing else to compare it to and has no specific complaints. Interview with LVN A on 11/25/25 at 1:45 p.m. LVN A stated that the facility did not have enough aides to adequately care for the residents. She stated that they are phasing out the med aides and that task has been passed on to the nursing staff. She stated that they do their best to help the aides in caring for the residents' daily living tasks, but that passing meds and their nursing duties keep them tied up for most of the shift. She stated that the staff do their best but she was sure that some residents had gone for more than two hours without being checked and changed as there are not enough staff in the building to complete rounds on 63 residents and handle all of their needs in a two hour period. She stated that the risk of not being checked and changed in a timely manner was an increase in infections including wounds as well as UTI's and bedsores. She stated that skin integrity was greatly affected by being left in soiled or wet diapers for an extended period of time. She stated Resident # 1 had C Diff which was the reason she received bed baths as they tried not to get her out of her room. She stated she felt on her shift call lights are answered in a timely manner and that no one's call light goes unanswered for more than 15 minutes at the most. She stated that the morale was very low for staff at the facility due to the demanding workload and the decision to phase out medication aides. She stated she felt that the facility could use at least 2 more CNAs per shift if they were expected to complete all of their tasks in a timely manner. Interview with RN B on 11/25/25 at 1:55 p.m. RN B stated her shift was caring for the residents on their hall appropriately, but the workload was very high and there were not enough aides to complete all of their tasks. She stated the decision had been made recently to do away with medication aides and she did not believe that this would help things improve at the facility. She stated she was not aware of any residents being left in a soiled or wet brief for a long period of time, but she could imagine that it does happen as there are only 4 to 5 CNA's during the day and even less at night to cover the entire facility. She stated that they answer call lights in a timely manner and that if they are able, the nurses also help with CNA duties, but this was less common as they are now also passing medications. Interview with CNA C on 11/26/25 at 10:30 a.m. CNA C stated that she had worked for the facility for a little over a year. She stated that they had a great team and then the facility made changes to staffing reducing the number of CNA's doing away with med aides and staff started quitting because the workload was unmanageable. She stated she was working as a CNA and her job was to check on the residents every two hours, check and change them if necessary. She stated the residents were not being checked on in timely manner due to the short staffing and lack of aides. She stated that nurses are having to help with changes but their load was already heavy as they are having to administer medication, finger sticks and wound care.

She stated that the nurses tried to help but they were also overburdened with work as they were having to do the administration of medication and all of their other nursing duties.

She stated that an acceptable infection rate in a facility with 63 residents, she would like to see it at or below 10% and that though she did not know the source of the UTI infections that 29 residents having an infection in three months was concerning to her.
