during the seven-day assessment look-back period. Resident #59 used a wheelchair. Resident #59 used a mechanical lift and was a two staff assist for transfers. Resident #59 required the assistance of one staff member for bathing and bed mobility. Interview on 08/12/25 at 10:19 A.M. of the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed Resident #59's physician should have been notified as soon as possible after his urine culture results were reported by the laboratory. The DON confirmed Resident #59's urine culture results were reported on 12/01/25, but the physician was not notified until 12/03/25. The DON did not know why there was a two day delay for Resident #59's urine culture results to be reported to the physician, and there should have been a progress note about it. The DON confirmed Resident #59 had a urine specimen for urinalysis and culture and sensitivity collected on 12/03/25 and there was no order in his record or progress note regarding the urine specimen. The DON was unable to explain why the urine specimen was collected

on 12/03/25. The DON confirmed Resident #59 had a urine for urinalysis and culture and sensitivity ordered on 11/22/24, and there was no evidence the urine was collected and sent to the laboratory.

NP #810 stated she could not remember the details because it was awhile ago. NP #810 indicated she did not know there was a delay of two days for reporting Resident #59's urine culture results and hoped a member of the physician team would have been called with the results and would have responded on 12/01/25 with an antibiotic order if they felt it was appropriate. NP #810 stated she would have wanted to treat Resident #59's infection as soon as possible and did not have an explanation for the two delay from 12/01/25 through 12/03/25.Review of the facility policy titled, Resident Change in Condition, dated 07/28/22, included the purpose was to ensure staff provided timely and appropriate care and services when residents experience
