The facility has not submitted a plan of correction.

When a facility fails to inform residents of their rights, the consequences may not be immediately visible, but the risks compound over time.

The citation was one of **8 total deficiencies** identified at the facility, and the provider has not submitted a plan of correction.

The problems affected rooms housing some of the facility's 54 residents.

The nurse initially exposed the front of Resident 32's green incontinence brief and declared the patient dry before moving to close it.

Inspectors determined that some residents had been affected.

The miscommunication caused actual harm to resident #10, according to federal inspectors who investigated a complaint at the facility in October.

The respiratory care deficiency was one of **two violations** documented during the survey.

The incomplete records violated federal requirements for maintaining accurate medical documentation.

The administrator told inspectors at 2:13 p.m.

Federal inspectors confirmed the violations during their investigation.

The August incident at Carter Nursing and Rehabilitation came to light only when state inspectors arrived two days later investigating a complaint.
