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 received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections and to restore
continence to the extent possible for 2 of 4 residents (Resident #1 and Resident #2) reviewed for
incontinence.
1. The facility failed to provide appropriate incontinent care to Resident #1 when she was observed wearing
two incontinent briefs (double briefed) on 6/9/25 at 10:15 a.m.
2. The facility failed to provide appropriate incontinent care to Resident #2 when she was observed wearing
two incontinent briefs on 6/9/25 at 2:30 p.m.
These failures could place residents at risk of skin break down, urinary tract infection, and diminished
quality of life.

1. Record review of Resident #1's admission Record, dated 6/9/2025, indicated an [AGE] year-old female
who was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #1 had diagnoses which included Parkinson's Disease
