Optalis Grand Rapids: Resident Property Violations - MI
The citation, tagged F0690, documented that the urine collection systems and their accessories were not cleaned and disinfected at each use, or at minimum once daily. The manufacturer's instructions require both. Inspectors noted signs of degradation on the equipment.
The violation affected a small number of residents. CMS rated the harm level as minimal or potential for actual harm, the lower end of the agency's harm scale, but the finding still represents a failure of basic hygiene practice for a vulnerable population.
External catheters are used to manage urinary incontinence without the insertion required by traditional catheters. The female version, less common than its male counterpart, involves a collection system worn against the body. When that equipment is not cleaned between uses, residue and bacteria accumulate directly against a resident's skin.
Optalis Health and Rehabilitation of Grand Rapids operates at 1950 32nd Street SE. The inspection was completed December 29, 2025.
The facility was given the opportunity to submit a plan of correction to address the deficiency. What changed for the residents whose equipment showed signs of degradation before an inspector walked through the door is not reflected in the report.
