The facility failed to ensure Resident #3's mask for BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure - normalizes breathing by delivering pressurized air into the upper airway leading into the lungs) was cleaned and stored properly. These failures could place the residents at risk for respiratory infection and not having their respiratory needs met. Findings included: Resident #1 Review of Resident #1's Face Sheet, dated 05/22/2024, reflected that the resident was an [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE].
