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, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents who were incontinent of
bladder and bowel received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections for 1
(Resident #90) of 12 residents reviewed for incontinent care. The facility failed to provide timely incontinent
care for Resident #90 using appropriate techniques. This failure could place residents at risk for urinary
tract infections, pain, and skin breakdown.Findings include: Record review of an undated face sheet
revealed Resident #90 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses of heart failure,
obesity, and hypothyroidism (abnormally low activity of the thyroid gland). Record review of an annual MDS
assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #90 had a BIMS of 14 indicating no cognitive impairment. She
required dependent assistance with ADLs. Resident #90 was incontinent of bowel and bladder. Record
review of the January and February 2026 ADL sheet printed 02/25/2026 revealed the following documented
number of times incontinent care was performed by staff for Resident #90. January 2026 ? February
2026-Day shift- 3 times -Day shift- 0 times-Evening shift-13 times -Evening shift-4 times-Night shift- 18
times -Night shift- 18 times During a record review of the Grievance log dated 09/2025 to 02/2026 revealed
no grievances were noted related to Resident #90 or incontinent care. During a record review of Staff
Perineal Care Checkoff on 02/25/2026 for CNA B revealed all areas were completed as proficient. During
an interview on 02/23/2026 at 9:15 a.m., Resident #90 stated she was having a major problem with the
staff keeping her clean and dry. She stated on average she was cleaned and dried once per shift. She
stated on 2 occasions this month she had gone more than an entire day without being cleaned. She stated
the CNA often put blankets under her to catch the urine and keep the sheets dry. She stated she allowed
them to do so because it was better than lying on a wet mattress. Resident #90 stated it had gotten so bad
she reached out to the Ombudsman because the Social Worker and DON were not doing anything to
remedy the situation. She stated she felt it was her right to be cleaned and dry. She stated she understood
that she was a bigger lady and it took more than one person to perform pericare on her, but she still had
the right to be clean and dry. During an observation and interview on 02/24/2026 at 10:45 a.m., revealed
CNA B and CNA D entered the room of Resident #90 to perform pericare. CNA B washed her hands prior
to beginning pericare and not again until she left the room. CNA D did not wash her hands prior to
beginning pericare. CNA B stated, I do not have hand sanitizer, and the facility does not provide it, so I am
going to just do the pericare like I always do. CNA B began pericare. During removal of the brief for
Resident #90 it was noted the brief was completely saturated and urine leaked from it as it was tucked
under the resident to remove it, saturating the sheets. The strong smell of ammonia was present. CNA B
stated this was the first time I touched her (Resident #90) today. She stated night shift had to have put the
two blankets under her, because she did not double pad people. Resident #90 stated it was the first time
she had been changed since around 2:00 a.m. and her skin was sore on her thighs, buttock and vagina
from being wet so long. CNA B changed gloves, did not wash her hands, and continued with incontinent
care. CNA B wiped from the top of the buttocks toward the vagina 4 times using the same wipe and BM
was noted on the wipe when it was disposed of. CNA B stated she felt that because of Resident #90's smell
she should give her a bed bath even though it was not Resident #90's day to receive a bath. During an
interview on 02/24/2026 at 11:30 a.m., CNA B stated she knew she had not done well on pericare because
she did not have hand sanitizer and she wiped from butt to vagina and that could cause infection. She
stated she was nervous. CNA B stated there was not enough staff to keep all the residents clean and

dry like they deserved to be. CNA B stated she felt very bad about not being able to get to everyone's
incontinent care and baths like they deserved. During an interview on 02/25/2026 at 2:00 p.m., the
Ombudsman stated she had visited Resident #90 and reported her care concerns of not being changed
and bathed timely to the DON and Administrator. She stated she told Resident #90 to contact the state and
make a complaint against the facility if the care did not improve after letting them know the issues. During
an interview on 02/25/2026 at 3:00 p.m., the DON stated the facility would provide hand sanitizer if the
CNAs let them know they did not have any. She stated she expected hand sanitizer and hand washing to
be done multiple times during each episode of pericare. The DON stated not sanitizing hands and wiping
from back to front introduced bacteria to the urinary tract and could lead to urinary tract infections. The
DON stated there were two CNAs on hall 400 on 02/24/2026 day shift and there was no reason that
pericare was not done in a reasonable time. She stated reasonable times depend on the resident and that
Resident #90 was not a heavy wetter, so she may not be wet every 2 hours. The DON stated the facility had
a big problem with documentation. She believed more care was provided to the residents than was seen in
the medical record. The DON stated she and her ADON monitored CNA proficiency by watching care for
each CNA at least annually. She stated CNA B had a proficiency checkoff on hire and she had only been
employed for a few months. During an interview on 02/25/2026 at 4:00 p.m., the Administrator stated she
expected the CNAs to perform perineal care by the book. She stated perineal care had to be performed
timely and using techniques to prevent infection. The Administrator stated there was enough staff in the
building on 02/24/2026 and no care should have been delivered untimely. The Administrator stated she was
unaware of the problems Resident #90 was having with care because she was an interim administrator for
the facility while the other administrator was out. She stated if the resident complained to the staff, she
expected a grievance to be written and followed up in to remedy care issues. Review of a policy titled
‘Perineal Care' dated 2025 revealed the following steps for perineal care of a female. Staff will provide
cleanliness of genitalia to avoid skin breakdown and infection. Staff will perform perineal/incontinent care
with each bath and after each incontinent episode.Clean anal area by first wiping off fecal material with
toilet tissue. (For females, wash by wiping from vagina toward anus with one stroke). Discard washcloth.
Change bath water as indicated when discolored or soapy. Repeat with clean cloth until skin is clear of fecal
material.

During an observation on 02/24/2026 at 11:28 a.m., LVN O checked Resident #31's blood sugar. After he
was finished checking Resident #31's blood sugar, he continued proving care. LVN O administered
Resident #31's medications with the same gloves used to check her blood sugar.
During an interview on 02/24/2026 at 11:43 a.m., LVN O stated he normally changes gloves after checking
Resident #31's blood sugar, but he was nervous with the surveyor watching him. LVN O stated it was
important to ensure he changed his gloves and performed hand hygiene to prevent the spread of germs.
LVN O stated gown, gloves, and an N-95 mask were required in COVID positive rooms. He said the face
shield or goggles were optional. He stated he was unsure why there were no PPE supplies available on the
100 hall. He was unsure where to get PPE supplies or who stocked them. LVN O stated he was unsure if it
was okay to take meal trays inside a room with no PPE. He stated it was important to wear the required
PPE inside a COVID positive room to keep the residents safe and not bring any germs back out of the
room.
During an interview on 02/25/2026 at 11:48 a.m., AC J said she had worked at the facility for 5-6 years. AC
J said she had not received any formal training on passing meal trays. AC J said she had received training
on what PPE was required to go into COVID positive rooms, but it had been a while. AC J said staff must
wear a gown, gloves, and a mask to go into a COVID positive rooms. AC J said she knew she had messed
up and did not wear the appropriate PPE into Resident #29's room. AC J said she knew residents were
COVID positive because there was a sign on the door of the residents. AC J said she took Resident #29's
meal tray in and sat it on the over bed table and left the room. AC J said she realized she was not wearing
the appropriate PPE when the LVN G came in the room with all the PPE on. AC J said she did not sanitize
her hands when she went to the ice chest and filled the cups with ice. AC J said by not wearing the
appropriate PPE or sanitizing her hands, she could have transferred germs to the ice chest/scoop and
anything she touched.
During an interview of 02/25/2026 at 11:58 a.m., RN K said she had worked at the facility for eight months.
RN K said suction tubing/catheters should definitely not be in the floor. RN K said the red catheter should
have been discarded if it was on the floor and not placed in the drawer with her clean supplies. RN K said
by placing it in the drawer uncovered contaminated everything in the drawer. RN K said if someone did use
the suction catheter that had been on the floor and placed uncovered in the drawer to suction Resident #5's
tracheostomy, it could have introduced microorganisms and placed the resident at risk for infection. RN K
said gloves, gowns, masks (N95), eye shield or goggles were required to enter a room with COVID positive
residents. RN K said the required PPE was for droplet precautions so if the resident sneezed or coughed, it
kept the droplets from getting on the staff's clothes, in their mucus membranes, and their hands. RN K said
not wearing proper PPE could potentially spread the disease to other residents, the staff could get sick, and
they could carry disease outside the building.
During an interview on 02/25/2026 at 2:09 p.m., CNA N stated she was from agency staffing and did not
believe she had to wear PPE inside a COVID positive room anymore, while passing meal trays. She stated
she was passing meals trays again at the facility on 02/24/2026 and sought clarification from two different
staff members, and each one told her something different. She said she ended up

ADON said staff should wear a gown, gloves, face shield or goggles, and an N95 mask when entering a
room with COVID positive residents on Droplet/respiratory isolation. The ADON said he did not know the
difference between KN95 or N95 masks. The ADON said, as the Infection Preventionist, he made sure
signs were on the doors, isolation carts were outside the room or nearby, because they did not have
enough for all the COVID positive rooms, and for testing staff and residents. The ADON said he was
currently out sick with COVID. The ADON said the DON was doing the Infection Preventionist duties in his
absence. The ADON said it had been all hands-on deck because they had so many staff out sick. The
ADON said it was everyone's responsibility to ensure the isolation carts were stocked with required PPE
and if items were needed to let someone know. The ADON said he did an in-service with all staff at shift
change at the beginning of the COVID outbreak related to COVID. The ADON said not wearing proper PPE
in COVID rooms and going from positive rooms to negative rooms would spread the infection and
cross-contaminated rooms.

have had access to the PPE supplies, but if they did not, she expected them to ask her. She stated she
expected to be notified if PPE supplies were unavailable. She stated the required PPE inside a COVID
positive room was a gown, gloves, N-95 mask, and a face shield or goggles. She stated she was unsure if
there was a difference between a KN-95 mask or an N-95 mask. The DON said it was important to ensure
infection control practices were followed to protect the staff and other residents from the spread of infection.

ensure infection control policies and procedures were followed. She stated clinical management was
responsible for monitoring to ensure infection control policies were followed. She said it was important to
ensure infection control policies were followed to minimize the spread of infection.
During an interview on 02/26/2026 at 2:26 p.m., LVN M said she was the staffing coordinator. LVN M said
goggles/face shield, gown, gloves, mask or N95 should be worn in a room with COVID positive residents
and then trash the mask when coming out of the room. LVN M said staff should wash/sanitize their hands
prior to getting ice from the ice chest on the hall. LVN M said staff should have dumped the ice and
sanitized the ice chest once it was determined it was contaminated. LVN M said not wearing appropriate
PPE and not sanitizing hands after entering a COVID positive room, was an infection control issue and
could spread COVID to other residents.
