Nobody on the care staff had seen it happen.

Inspectors reviewed the August Treatment Administration Records for three residents during a complaint inspection completed September 5, 2025.

She cleaned the site, removed those gloves, skipped hand hygiene again, and redressed the wound with bare hands.

The resident, identified in the inspection report as R41, is a man with a kidney transplant and type 2 diabetes who has lived at the facility since July 2024.

The September 2025 inspection, triggered by a complaint, cited the facility for failures in identifying and addressing hazards in the resident environment.

When he was discharged on August 26, his orders required Ceftriaxone to continue daily beginning the following morning.

That is what inspectors found when they visited Oakhurst Health & Rehabilitation on September 9, 2025, the day before the survey closed.

Three people live in Room A at Mesa Glen Care Center.
