Spanish Trails Rehab: Care Quality Deficiencies - NM

Healthcare Facility
Spanish Trails Wellness & Rehabilitation
Albuquerque, NM  ·  3/5 stars

The resident, identified in the report as Resident 2, had both incontinence and diarrhea. A registered nurse told inspectors she was aware the resident's brief was not being checked or changed as frequently as it should be. She knew because the resident had begun developing redness in her groin, a sign of moisture-associated skin damage caused by sitting in a soiled brief for extended periods.

The facility's own Interim Director of Nursing put a number on what should have happened: checks and changes every two hours, plus as needed. What actually happened was one to two changes in a full 24-hour period.

The director confirmed it herself. She told inspectors that Resident 2 should have been changed more than once or twice a day, and that it did not happen.

The violation was cited under the federal standard requiring facilities to provide personal hygiene care, and inspectors classified the harm level as minimal harm or potential for actual harm.

The redness in Resident 2's groin was already there by the time inspectors arrived on November 13. The registered nurse knew it was there. She knew why it was there. And the brief still was not being changed.
