Summary
The report identifies a deficiency related to the provision of care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel and bladder, as well as the management of catheter care and the prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Surveyors found that appropriate care was not consistently provided to residents in these areas. Specific failures included inadequate attention to the needs of residents with continence or incontinence issues, improper catheter care, and insufficient measures to prevent UTIs. These lapses were observed during the survey and were directly related to the facility's failure to follow established protocols for continence care, catheter management, and infection prevention.
