On 09/12/25 Resident R1's SBP was documented to be 113, lower than the required parameter for administering the medication.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe handling and disposal of a soiled bed pad/brief for one Resident (R)1. Resident R1 was transferred to the hospital from the facility on 09/18/25. The resident's belongings were collected from Resident R1's room, bagged, and placed at the nursing station until it was picked up by Resident R1's Family Member (FM)3 on 09/22/25. FM3 discovered a soiled bed pad/brief in a bag marked as the resident's belongings. Findings Include: On 09/25/25 at 07:50 PM, the State Agency (SA) received a complaint via email that a soiled (with urine and feces) bed pad/ brief was found in a bag given to them as part of the resident's belongings. The bag was labeled with Resident R1's name and room number.

Pictures of all the resident's belongings bags (five bags; one gift bag with a balloon, two blue personal belongings bags, and two clear bags). In a picture (P1), in one of two Clear Bags (CB)1, any reasonable person could identify blue material (bed pad/brief), inside the bag just by looking at it. A second picture (P2) documented the inside of CB1, which contained a visibly soiled item with brown material (feces/urine) at the bottom of the bag. On 10/08/25 at 11:42 AM conducted a concurrent interview and observation of Resident R1's assigned room with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA)45 and CNA3. Both staff confirmed they packed all of the resident's belonging in bags and placed it in the nursing station for the resident's family.On 10/08/25 at 01:40 PM, conducted an interview and review of the picture of the bags with CNA45. Showed CNA45 P1, then inquired if staff recognized the bags as Resident R1's belongings. CNA45 confirmed and recognized all five bags mentioned above as Resident R1's belongings. CNA45 attested to packing the two blues belonging bags but confirmed he/she did not pack any clear bags. On 10/08/25 at 01:43 PM, conducted an interview and

review of the picture of the bags with CNA3. CNA3 reviewed P1 and confirmed all five bags in the pictures were identified as Resident R1's belongings. Inquired with CNA3 about the clear bag (with the bed pads visible at the bottom). CNA3 confirmed bed pads were visible at the bottom and identified Resident R1's boots at the top of CB1.

CNA3 could not recall which bags he/she packed but insisted that he/she would not have knowingly put the resident's belongings in with a soiled bed pad/brief. On 10/08/25 at 02:03 PM, conducted an interview and

review of facility video surveillance with the Administrator and two other surveyors present. The Administrator presented video surveillance of the Unit Clerk (UC) handing off Resident R1's belonging to FM3. In the video, FM3 and UC are seen looking through two of the blue belongings bag and did not look through CB1 identified in P1, which contained the soiled bed pad/brief.Reviewed CB1, P1, and P2 with the Administrator.

Administrator confirmed bed pads/ briefs, and the protection boots are visible through CB1, and that same bag was in the video as part of Resident R1's belongings sent home with FM3. Also, the Administrator confirmed the bed pad/briefs were soiled. After reviewing the video surveillance and pictures, the Administrator confirmed

the bag which contained soiled bed pads/briefs was given to Resident R1's FM3 as part of the resident's belongings.
