What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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 observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident who was incontinent of bladder received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections and to restore continence to the extent possible for 1 (Resident #1) of 5 residents reviewed for incontinence care. When CNA-A was providing incontinent care to Resident #1 on 05/23/2025, CNA-A did not clean the resident's buttock area. This failure could place residents who required incontinence care at risk for cross contamination and the development of new or worsening urinary tract infections. The findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet, dated 05/23/2025, revealed the resident was [AGE] years old male, originally admitted on [DATE], and re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of dementia (over time destroy nerve cells and damage the brain), bronchitis (inflammation of the lining bronchial tubes), muscle wasting and atrophy (decrease in muscle mass, weakness and tingling in limbs), hypertension (high blood pressures), and anemia (the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen). Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed the resident's BIMS score was 5 out of 15, which indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment and had frequently urinary incontinence and occasionally bowel incontinence. Record review of Resident #1's comprehensive care plan, dated 03/07/2025, revealed the resident episodes of bowel and bladder incontinence. For intervention - incontinent care at least every 2 hour and clean peri-care with each incontinence episode. Observation on 05/23/2025 at 11:33 a.m. revealed CNA-A removed Resident #1's old and dirty brief and cleaned the resident's suprapubic area, left, right groin area, and the resident's genital area with circular motion, then turned the resident to right side and put the new and clean brief. CNA-A closed the new and clean brief without cleaning Resident #1's buttock area. Interview on 05/23/2025 at 11:45 a.m. CNA- A stated he did not clean Resident #1's buttock area because he was nervous and forgot. CNA-A said he should have cleaned Resident #1's buttock area. CNA-A said he had peri-care training in January 2025.
