Summary
Surveyors found that the facility failed to provide sufficient fluid intake to maintain proper hydration and health for two residents. One resident reported difficulty obtaining water, and repeated observations throughout the day revealed that the disposable cup at the bedside remained empty. Another resident stated that staff would not always provide water and sometimes told the resident it was unnecessary; observations also showed the bedside cup was empty at multiple times during the day. The Administrator confirmed that both residents had not received proper hydration on the day in question.
