Spanish Trails Rehab: Daily Care Failures - NM
The resident, identified in inspection records as Resident 2, had diarrhea and required frequent brief changes. A registered nurse at the facility acknowledged during the inspection that she was aware the resident's brief was not being changed as often as it should be. She connected that failure directly to the redness that had developed in the resident's groin area, describing it as a sign of prolonged contact with a soiled brief.
The facility's own Interim Director of Nursing confirmed the standard: briefs should be checked and changed every two hours, and more often as needed. She identified the redness as Moisture-Associated Skin Damage, a condition she said is typically caused by incontinence. Then she confirmed what the records showed had actually happened: the resident was being changed only one to two times in a full 24-hour period.
That's once or twice a day, for a resident with diarrhea.
The inspection was conducted on November 13, 2025, in response to a complaint. Federal inspectors classified the violation under F0677, which covers basic personal hygiene and grooming, and rated the level of harm as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with some residents affected.
The Interim Director of Nursing did not dispute the finding. Neither did the nurse who had watched the redness develop and said nothing had changed.
