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 in these areas, which includes failures in maintaining proper hygiene, monitoring, and interventions necessary to prevent complications such as UTIs. The deficiency is based on direct observations and documentation review indicating lapses in the standard of care required for residents with these needs.
