not get their diaper changed in a timely manner. On 8/21/2025 at 10:12 AM Review of Resident #126's medical record was conducted. The review revealed that the resident was admitted into the facility on 5/10/24 and was discharged to the hospital on 2/16/25.

Additionally, there was no documentation on 1/13, 1/20, 1/27, 1/29 and 1/30).

interview with the DON was conducted. DON stated it was the expectation of facility staff to complete personal hygiene, bowel and bladder incontinence for the residents every shift.

On 8/25/2025 at 12:30 PM The DON reported to the surveyor that the resident was in the facility for the days marked as resident not available. He also stated that there was no additional information that the resident was provided with toilet hygiene care. The surveyor notified the DON that this was a concern.
