67	WEISER CARE OF CASCADIA	135010	331 EAST PARK STREET	WEISER	ID	83672	2016-10-21	456	D	0	1	224111	Based on observations, review of the facility maintenance log, and staff interview, it was determined the facility failed to ensure resident care equipment was maintained and serviced for 1 of 18 sampled residents (Resident #4). This failure to monitor and maintain equipment allowed staff to continue to use pertinent care equipment for the critical management of a resident requiring frequent suctioning, and placed the resident at risk of aspiration if the machine malfunctioned. Findings include: 1. On 10/18/16 at 8:45 am, a suction machine in Resident #4's room was observed to have a canister attached with approximately 100 cc of clear sputum. The inspection safety test was documented as most recently completed on 2/5/15. The label indicated the next date for the machine to be evaluated was 2/2016. A second suction machine in the room contained an inspection safety test label that documented the last time the machine was evaluated was 2/15/15 and required another inspection to be completed in 2/2016. 2. During the Environmental Tour On 10/18/16 at 10:00 am, with the Maintenance Director, he confirmed not all equipment was checked routinely as required. The Maintenance Director could offer no explanation of the facility's failure to ensure the necessary inspections were completed. Review of the Maintenance Log at this time showed the following items were due for inspection in (MONTH) (YEAR), but were not inspected: * Dining Room Suction Machine * Bath Patient lift/scale * 2 Patient Suction Machines	2020-09-01
