Summary
A deficiency was identified when staff failed to secure a treatment cart containing medical supplies and equipment on the South Unit, where 16 residents reside. On the morning of 11/26/25, an observation revealed the treatment cart was left unlocked with the keys in it, and no staff were present in the area. This was confirmed by a CNA and the Wound Care Nurse during interviews, both acknowledging the cart was unsecured. The Director of Nursing also confirmed that the treatment cart should be locked if staff are not present.
