Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident with hemiplegia and weakness, who was cognitively intact, did not receive timely incontinence care. The resident reported having a bowel movement around 4:00AM and was not cleaned up until almost 10:00AM, despite using the call light and waiting for staff assistance. A CNA confirmed that when she arrived for her shift, staff were behind in their duties, and upon assisting the resident, found stool present and noted that the resident continued to have a bowel movement during care. Facility policy requires care, treatment, and services for activities of daily living, and a registered nurse stated that residents should be rounded on at least every two hours.
