She stated that one company would be chosen to come out soon, she did not have a scheduled date yet. She stated that had the residents been cognitively intact, they would not have urinated in the common area, so she could not answer if the smell affected the residents' dignity and rights. Record review of Resident #88 revealed that the resident was moved to the secured unit due to wandering behavior on 8/21/2025. During an interview on 9/18/2025 at 12:49pm, Resident #88's wife stated that when Resident #88 was moved to the secured unit, she went to visit him, and the smell was horrible.
