During a telephone interview on 06/04/24 at 11:16 A.M., Resident #1's Family Member said that on 05/17/24 at 3:53 P.M. and 5/19/24 at 1:24 P.M., she found Resident #1 in bed with a top sheet, blanket, and hospital gown that were wet from urine and diarrhea.

The Family Member said that Resident #1 had to wait for care by staff on both days because she was told by nursing they were short staffed.

During a telephone interview on 06/11/24 at 10:28 A.M., Nurse #2 said they were supposed to have four CNAs on the evening shift, but lately they had only three and sometimes only two CNAs on duty for the evening shift.

Nurse #2 said staffing was bad, especially for CNAs.

During an interview on 06/05/24 at 12:47 P.M. and 2:56 P.M., Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #1 said they were supposed to have four CNAs on the day shift, and when they had two CNAs they could not provide incontinent care to each resident every two hours, and that even when there were three CNAs it can be difficult to get to each resident.

During a telephone interview on 06/07/24 at 12:02 P.M., Nurse #1 said it was a real struggle when they had two CNAs, by the time the CNAs got through their first rounds on each resident, stopped care during mealtimes, it was late in the day when they started their second rounds.

Nurse #1 said the CNAs are drowning when there are only two of them.
