Mustang Park Therapy: Oxygen Equipment Left Unbagged - TX
They took pictures.
The photographs showed Residents 1, 7, and 8 with nasal cannulas that had not been bagged when not in use. A fourth resident, Resident 6, had a tracheostomy hose on the floor.
The Director of Nursing was shown those pictures on the morning of October 8. She told the inspector that nursing staff were expected to keep all masks and nasal cannulas bagged when not in use, precisely to prevent infection. Resident 6's trach hose on the floor, she said, should not have been there and needed to be replaced to avoid contamination.
That same afternoon, the Assistant Director of Nursing, identified in the report as ADON J, was shown the same photographs. He said the same thing: the hose and the nasal cannulas should not be on the floor. He said nurses were responsible for checking on this during their rounds, which he said happened at least every two hours.
At least every two hours.
The tracheostomy hose belongs to a resident with a surgically created opening in the throat used for breathing. It is not a piece of equipment that tolerates contamination. When that hose is reconnected to a patient after sitting on the floor, whatever it picked up goes directly into the airway.
The nasal cannulas, the thin plastic tubing that delivers supplemental oxygen through the nostrils, carry a similar risk when left exposed. Three residents in this facility were using them. None of the three had their equipment bagged.
The inspection was triggered by a complaint. It was completed on October 8, 2025. CMS rated the violation at the level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with some residents affected. That classification sits near the lower end of the federal deficiency scale, but it describes equipment that goes directly into human airways being left on a floor that nursing staff walk across at least every two hours.
The facility's own respiratory care policy states its purpose as ensuring residents receive care that prevents complications. The policy had no date on it.
Both the Director of Nursing and ADON J confirmed to the inspector, separately, that what the photographs showed was wrong. Neither disputed what the pictures contained. The question the inspection report does not answer is how many rounds had already passed before an outside inspector walked in with a camera.

Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.

Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
