Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure one of one resident (Resident (R)34) reviewed for self-administration of medications out of a total sample of 20 had a self-administration assessment completed before medications were left at the resident's bedside. This had the potential for the resident to not take the correct medications per order with a potential for significant medication error.

Inspectors wroteBased on record review, interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to obtain and document urinary outputs as ordered for one of three residents (Resident (R) 42) reviewed for the management of indwelling urinary catheters out of a total sample of 20. Failure to obtain and document urinary output may result in delayed identification of complications such as urinary retention, dehydration, infection, or impaired kidney function.

Inspectors wroteBased on policy review, record review, Incidents and Accidents (I&A) report review, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from abuse by other residents. This was true for 4 of 8 residents (#25, #30, #47 and #158) reviewed for abuse. This failure resulted in harm to Resident #47 when staff failed to supervise Resident #2 and he touched her breasts with his hands. Deficient practice also placed Residents #25, #30, #47 and #158, and all other residents in the facility at risk of psychosocial harm and/or physical harm.

Staffing

Hours of care per resident per day, from the payroll records every home sends CMS. Higher means more staff time with each resident.

CMS expects 3.69 hours a day for residents as sick as this home's (its case-mix figure). The staffing star compares the two.

Staffing by quarter, from daily payroll records

Every nursing home sends CMS its staff hours for each day (the Payroll Based Journal). Here they are added up by quarter. The latest quarter is the one behind the figures above. In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 3.77 on weekdays and 2.95 on weekends, 22% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 1.0% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.51 in April to June 2025 to 3.53 in January to March 2026.

Quarter	All nursing staff	Registered nurses	Weekdays	Weekends	Contract staff share	Days with no RN hours	Residents a day

Idaho, Jan to Mar 2026	3.90	0.80	4.11	3.37	4.9%	0.2% of days

Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments). Registered nurses include the director of nursing and RNs with administrative duties; aides include nurse aides in training and medication aides, as in CMS's own staffing measure. How these are calculated.
