Federal regulations establish this threshold as a baseline standard for safe medication management in long-term care facilities.

"Residents had the right to not be assaulted or touched by another resident," the administrator told inspectors during a 1:25 p.m.

The regulation also mandates proper catheter care and adequate protocols to prevent urinary tract infections.

The facility has not submitted a plan of correction.

Federal inspectors found the facility violated staffing requirements during a November complaint investigation.

The inspection revealed four medication errors out of 31 opportunities observed.

The citation was one of **three total deficiencies** documented during the inspection.

The incident happened on March 21, 2024, and involved a resident identified in inspection records as R14.

The resident, identified as Resident 2 in inspection records, required total assistance with eating, dressing, grooming, toileting, bathing and moving around.

The 96-bed facility's own resident council minutes documented the escalating problem from May through October.

Facilities must document these preferences and ensure that all staff members are aware of and follow each resident's stated wishes.

The incident occurred at Valley View Village when staff found Resident #2 unresponsive in his room.
