the surveyor requested documentation to show Resident #5's SPC flushes were done per recommendation
in February, March and second half of April along with documentation of Resident #'s 5 SPC changes for January - May 2025. On 10/21/25 at 2:22 PM, the surveyor conducted a follow-up interview with the DON.
During the interview the DON confirmed that no flushes were documented as administered for the later part of January, February, March and half of April 2025 even though the recommendations were to do so. She further stated that during that time different urology consult providers were coming into the building and that
they all had different ways of communicating with the facility. She stated that SPC changes were performed when the urology consultation provider came in to do consultation visits. She confirmed that there was no documentation in Resident #5's medical record to indicate the SPC was changed after 12/28/25.

During the interview Staff #6 indicated that there are only a few reasons why the providers would change the SPC on the consultation visits, such as an initial change after placement or a complicated catheter. He further stated that if the provider changed the catheter, it would be documented in
the progress note from that visit. He confirmed that unless the providers indicated they were going to change the catheter then it is the expectation that the facility would change the catheters per the Resident's individual plan of care. At the time of exit no documentation was provided to support that the SPC was changed for Resident #5 for January-May 26 of 2025 (on 5/26/25 hospital records documented it was changed) or flushes were provided February, March and second half of April.

after Resident #11 returned to the facility and informed Resident #11's RP that the SPC was changed monthly by the urology staff. The surveyor noted that the urology staff had not seen Resident #11 monthly
