F 0554 Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the interdisciplinary team (IDT, a group of healthcare professionals from different disciplines involved in providing care to the residents) assessed and documented self-administration of medications kept at bedside was clinically appropriate for one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 29). This failure had the potential for Resident 29 to experience negative health outcomes, including increased risk of infections and not to receive the full therapeutic benefits of his medications.Findings:A review of Resident 29's clinical record indicated he was admitted to the facility with diagnoses such as burn of second degree [a burn that causes injury, blistering, pain and swelling to the outer and middle layers of the skin]. including the right eye.During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 29 on 9/23/25 at 9:29 A.M., Resident 29 stated he sometimes.[ran] out of Tegaderm [a transparent dressing used to cover and shield wounds], which he wore underneath his eyepatch. Resident 29 stated he also ran out of his lubricating eye ointment and eye drops at times. Resident 29 stated without his lubricating eye drops and eye ointment, the Tegaderm dressing would stick to his right eyeball because he did not have an eyelid. Resident 29 stated when that occurred, the Tegaderm would rip the top layer of his eye leading to pain and bleeding. Resident 29 reached for a bin in his room full of medications and supplies. Resident 29 laid out his medications and explained how he self-administered his eye treatment. Resident 29 stated he irrigates (to wash or remove debris) film on his eye using a saline (salt water) flush and sponge(s). Resident 29 stated the saline flush stung his eye, so he used Refresh Tears lubricating eye drops to relieve the burning sensation. Resident 29 stated he followed that with moxifloxacin (an antibiotic) eye drops. Resident 29 said he had bacterial conjunctivitis (or pink eye, an infection on the outer layer of the eye) on and off for two years. Resident 29 stated he instilled GenTeal Tears lubricating eye ointment after the moxifloxacin eye drops and then applied Tegaderm. Asked if he waits between instilling any of the eye drops, Resident 29 stated, I don't have to wait because I don't have any other antibiotics to put on. I only have [moxifloxacin]. Resident 29 stated he had been self-administering his eye treatment four times daily for about a year. During an interview with the Treatment Nurse (TN) on 9/24/25 at 9:59 A.M., the TN stated she no longer provides Resident 29 with treatments as he prefers to self-administer his ointment and wound care for [his] right eye. The TN stated Resident 29 informed staff when he was low on medications and supplies for his right eye treatment. The TN stated Resident 29 was particular about Tegaderm, he wants 3M [brand] Tegaderm. If it's not 3M, he'll refuse. The TN stated Resident 29 may have done his eye treatment more frequently than prescribed. The TN stated, I think he does it more than four times [a day]. In the computer, it's four times. The order is every six hours. I believe he does his wound care more often.A review of Resident 29's clinical record indicated he had a form titled, Self-Administration of Medications, dated 10/6/22, which indicated, Does the resident want to self-administer medications? The option c. No. was selected.During an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/24/25 at 1:21 Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

This failure had the potential to affect resident's care needs. Cross Reference F 697.Findings: Resident 8 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included cancerous tumor of the right breast and chronic pain, per the facility's admission Record. On 9//21/25 at 8:22 A.M., an observation and an interview with Resident 8 was conducted in her room. Resident 8 laid in bed and was watching a television show. Resident 8 stated she had missed four doses of her pain medication because staff had informed her the facility ran out. Resident 8 stated she was upset because she was in pain. On 9/22/25, a record review was conducted. Resident 8's History and Physical (H & P), dated 7/17/25, indicated she had the capacity to understand and make decisions. A physician's order, dated 8/22/25, indicated Resident 8 was to receive oxycodone (a controlled medication for pain) every six hours for pain management. A care plan, dated 8/4/24, indicated Resident 8 had chronic pain, and interventions were to administer oxycodone (a pain medication) as ordered. On 9/22/25 at 2:15 P.M., an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 11. CNA 11 stated he was taking care of and was familiar of Resident 8. CNA 11 stated Resident 8 was alert, oriented and knew what was going on. CNA 11 stated Resident 8 talked about her pain a lot and talked about not feeling good. CNA 11 stated Resident knew when her pain medication was due. CNA 11 stated Resident 8 mentioned she missed some doses of her pain medications. On 9/22/25 at 2:51 P.M., an interview and record review for Resident 8 was conducted with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1. LN 1 stated she was familiar with Resident 8. LN 1 stated Resident 8 had scheduled pain medication to be given every six hours and usually had pain. LN 1 reviewed Resident 8's Pain care plan, and stated the interventions to administer pain medications were not implemented.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of three residents reviewed for oxygen therapy had:Oxygen saturation levels (the amount of oxygen in the blood) routinely monitored and documented (Resident 3), and,A physician's order for oxygen therapy was obtained prior to administration (Resident 7). These failures had the potential for Residents 3 and 7 to receive oxygen when it was not required, resulting in the possibility of dependency. Findings: Residents Affected - Some 1. Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-permanent damage to the lungs which affects airflow and gas exchange), per the facility's admission Record. An observation and interview was conducted with Resident 3 on 9/21/25 at 8:51 A.M. Resident 3 was sitting up in bed with a nasal cannula (a plastic tube that delivers oxygen to the nose) inserted in his nares. Resident 3 stated he had trouble breathing sometimes and normally gets 2 liters of oxygen. An oxygen condenser (a machine that delivered oxygen) was on the floor next to the bed. On 9/22/25, Resident 3's clinical record was reviewed. According to the physician's order, dated 9/8/25, oxygen two liters per minute via nasal cannula to keep oxygen saturation rate above 90%, (normal 97% - 99%) as needed. The facility's Weights and Vital Summary Task sheet for documenting oxygen saturation rates from 8/4/25 through 9/23/25 were reviewed. Oxygen saturations were documented 22 times out of 51 opportunities (if completed 1 time a day). Resident 3's oxygen saturation was recorded on room air 17 times out of 22 opportunities and was 95% or above with the exception of once. The facility's Medication (MAR) and Treatment Administration Records (TAR) from 8/4/25 through 9/23/25 were reviewed with no indication if oxygen was being administered or not. Observations were conducted of Resident 3 in bed, receiving two liters of oxygen on 9/22/25 at 2:44 P.M., and 3:14 P.M, with no documented evidence of oxygen saturation levels for 9/22/25. An observation and interview was conducted with Resident 3 in his room on 9/23/25 at 8:15 A.M. Resident 3 was sitting up in bed receiving two liters of oxygen via nasal cannula. Resident 3 had a portable pulse oximetry (an external device used to check oxygen saturations) on his bedside table. Resident 3 stated he liked to check his own oxygen saturation and demonstrated how the device was used. Resident 3 applied the finger device, which displayed an oxygen saturation rate of 89% after being off oxygen for three minutes. Resident 3 reapplied the nasal cannula to his nose afterwards. There was no documented evidence of oxygen saturation levels for 9/23/25. An interview was conducted with Licensed Nurse 16 (LN 16) on 9/23/25 at 8:48 A.M. LN 16 stated oxygen saturation levels should be checked every shift, to determine if prn (as needed) oxygen was required. LN 16 stated oxygen saturations levels should be documented in the Task section and also in the Pulmonary (lung) section of the electronic record. LN 16 stated staff who provided respiratory treatments documented all of their assessments in the Pulmonary section. An interview and record review was conducted with LN 17 on 9/23/25 at 8:53 A.M. of Resident 3's (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055078 If continuation sheet Page 4 of 22 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 055078 B.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Pulmonary assessments. LN 17 stated he checked oxygen saturation levels and lung sounds during his Pulmonary assessments of residents. LN 17 stated certified nursing assistants (CNAs) also check oxygen saturation levels every shift and document their results in the Task section of the resident's electronic record. LN 17 stated since Resident 3 was on prn oxygen, if the saturations were 90% or below, they should be documenting the saturation levels every shift (three times a day). LN 17 stated during his pulmonary treatments he also checked the saturations levels and documented the level before applying oxygen, if needed. LN 17 reviewed Resident 3's saturation levels in the Pulmonary section of the electronic record and stated the saturation levels were not there, and they should be. LN 17 stated the saturations levels were important to determine if Resident 3 required oxygen or not. LN 17 stated if Resident 3 received oxygen when it was not required, he could become more dependent on oxygen. LN 17 stated if the physician reviewed Resident 3's electronic record for oxygen saturation levels, it would not provide an accurate picture of the resident's current pulmonary status. An interview and record review was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) of Resident 3's pulmonary documentation on 9/23/25 at 9:06 A.M. The DON stated since Resident 3 was on prn oxygen to keep saturation levels above 90%, his oxygen saturation level should be checked on room air every shift and documented. The DON stated if Resident 3's oxygen saturation levels were above 90% and he was still receiving oxygen, there was the potential for Resident 3 to become dependent on the oxygen. The DON stated oxygen saturation levels and when oxygen was applied, should be documented in the Pulmonary section of the electronic record. The DON reviewed the Pulmonary section for Resident 3 and stated the oxygen saturation levels should be documented, but she could not see that they were. A follow up interview was conducted with LN 17 at 9/23/25 at 9:30 A.M. LN 17 stated he realized the Pulmonary section of Resident 3's electronic record was not saving the documented oxygen saturation levels, and they just realized there was a glitch in the system that needed to be corrected. LN 17 stated it as important to have documented oxygen saturation levels so the physician could analyze Resident 3's pulmonary status and change orders as needed. According to the facility's policy, titled Pulse Oximetry (Assessing Oxygen Saturation), dated October 2010, .1. Review the physician's orders.Documentation: The SaO2 (oxygen saturation) flow sheet should be placed in the medical record. In addition, the following information should be recorded in the resident's medical record: 1. The date and time the procedure was performed. 2. Any unusual findings and the action taken. According to the facility's policy titled Oxygen Administration, dated October 2010, .1. Verify that there is a physician's order.Documentation: 1.

Resident 7 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, per the facility's admission Record. On 9/21/25 at 9:24 A.M., an observation during the initial tour was conducted. Resident 7 had the oxygen nasal cannula delivered at three liters per minute (LPM) via oxygen concentrator. Resident 7 did not respond when her name was called. On 9/22/25, a record review was conducted.

F 0695 There was no physician's order of oxygen for Resident 7. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A form, titled Pulmonary Functioning/Monitoring dated 9/21/25, indicated Resident 7 was on continuous flow of three liters of oxygen per minute for COPD. Residents Affected - Some On 9/22/25 at 9:27 A.M. and 1:42 P.M., a follow-up observation of Resident 7 was conducted. Resident 7 laid in bed, with her eyes closed and did not respond when her name was called. Resident 7 had the oxygen set at three LPM via nasal cannula. On 9/22/25 at 1:59 P.M., an interview was conducted with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 12. CNA 12 stated Resident 7 was always on oxygen. On 9/23/25 at 9:32 A.M., a joint observation of Resident 7, a review of Resident 7's clinical record and an interview was conducted with LN 11. Resident 7 was in bed with the oxygen cannula on top of the oxygen concentrator. LN 11 stated Resident 7 had a prn for oxygen. LN 11 stated Resident 7 had a change in condition (a medical complication) and was placed on oxygen. LN 11 stated there was no physician's order for oxygen in Resident 7's clinical record. LN 11 stated whatever was administered to the resident, must be a physician's order because oxygen was considered a medication. On 9/24/25 at 9:16 A.M., an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated the expectation was when the resident had a change in condition and needed oxygen, the LNs should have obtained an order from the physician because oxygen was considered a medication and LNs should not administer any medications without physician's order.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and effective pharmaceutical services when:1. Random controlled medication (medications with a high abuse potential) use audit for five of six sampled residents (Residents 6, 19, 26, 27 and 52) indicated medications were signed out of the controlled drug record (CDR, count sheet used to track controlled medications), but were not documented on the Medication Administration Record (MAR - section of the medical record where all medications given to the resident are recorded to ensure patient safety) to indicate they were administered to the residents. This failure had the potential for diversion (unlawful distribution or use), mismanagement of controlled medications and inadequate narcotic accountability, healthcare professional clinical decision-making based on an incomplete medical record which could result in adverse resident outcomes, and the potential to not meet the needs of the residents in the facility. 2. Expired medications were not removed from stock in one of one Medication Rooms for two residents (Residents 7 and 29). This failure had the potential for Residents 7 and 29 to receive deteriorated (reduced quality) and ineffective medications. Findings:1. During an inspection of the Long Hall Medication Cart conducted with Licensed Nurse (LN) 6 on 9/21/25 at 3:06 P.M., the CDRs for three random residents receiving PRN (as needed) controlled medications were requested for review. Additionally, three other CDRs from the Short Hall Medication Cart were requested for review on 9/22/25 at 10:31 A.M. from LN 1. a) A review of Resident 27's medical record indicated an order for hydrocodone-acetaminophen (a controlled medication used to manage pain) 5/325 milligram (mg, unit of measurement) tablet - give one tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for moderate to severe pain, dated 8/15/25. During a concurrent interview and record review with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/22/25 at 1:47 P.M., a review of Resident 27's CDR for hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5/325 mg and September 2025 MAR indicated the nursing staff signed out of the CDR, but did not document the medication administration on one occasion: 9/18/25 at 8:30 A.M. The DON confirmed there was no documentation on the MAR on 9/18/25 at 8:30 A.M. and stated, I've already looked for this one and couldn't find it. b) A review of Resident 6's medical record indicated an order for hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5/325 mg tablet - give one tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for moderate to severe pain, dated 1/2/25. During a concurrent interview and record review with the DON on 9/22/25 at 1:51 P.M., Resident 6's CDR for hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5/325 mg, and MARs dated May 2025 and July 2025 were reviewed. The CDR indicated the nursing staff signed out one tablet of hydrocodone-acetaminophen 5/325 mg, but did not document the medication administration on the following days: 5/31/25 at 6 A.M. 7/12/25 at 9 A.M. 7/23/25 at 2:48 P.M.

F 0813 Have a policy regarding use and storage of foods brought to residents by family and other visitors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure resident food brought into the facility from outside sources was stored appropriately, and procedures were in place for safe reheating of foods.This failure had the potential to result in pest control concerns, as well as foodborne illnesses.Findings:An observation and interview was conducted on 9/21/25 at 9 A.M. with Resident 24. Resident 24 was sitting in a wheelchair next to her bed. The bedside table was covered with large bags of candy, cookies and other opened food items. A blanket was folded at the foot of the bed, and on top of the blanket was a bunch of ripe bananas and a small brown bag from a fast food restaurant. None of the foods were in plastic bags, and none had labels attached with dates or the resident name and room number. Resident 24 stated the food from the kitchen was sometimes cold, so she had friends and family bring her food from outside to keep in her room. Resident 24 stated the facility had not offered her bins or containers to store her food items. An observation and interview was conducted on 9/24/25 at 12:30 P.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 21. CNA 21 stated if residents wanted to reheat food they had obtained from outside of the facility, the CNA could reheat the food in the microwave. CNA 21 stated she would heat the food for 30 seconds, no matter the food item. CNA 21 stated she did not have instructions for reheating food, and a thermometer was not available to check the temperature of the food. Per CNA 21, she would just heat for 30 seconds then bring the food to the resident to consume. An interview was conducted on 9/24/25 at 12:45 P.M. with CNA 22. CNA 22 stated if residents brought in food from outside, staff should tape a piece of paper on the food item and write the residents' name and room number on it. CNA 22 stated she would also write the date she received the food. An interview with the Registered Dietitian (RD) was conducted on 9/24/25 at 1 P.M. The RD stated instructions for reheating foods should be posted on the resident refrigerator and microwave, and a thermometer should be available to check food temperatures. The RD stated this was important to prevent food related illness, and for food safety. The RD stated she had spoken to Resident 24 and others many times about storing foods safely in the rooms but the residents did not want to let staff touch their belongings. The RD stated there was a risk to the residents from eating spoiled foods, and the facility was responsible for the residents' food safety. An interview was conducted on 9/24/25 at 2 P.M. with the Administrator (Admin). The Admin stated she was not aware foods brought in from home were being reheated without instructions or checking of temperatures. The Admin stated her expectation was for the Dietary Manager (DM) and RD to have established guidance so CNAs could safely reheat foods. The Admin stated she was aware residents stored foods in their rooms, and that this posed a food safety issue and potentially a pest management issue. Per the Admin, no solution had yet been identified. Per a facility policy, dated 2023 and titled Food For Residents From Outside Sources, Food brought in from outside the facility kitchen.will be monitored.Prepared food brought in for the resident must be consumed within one hour of receiving it in an effort to prevent food borne illness. Unused food will be disposed of immediately thereafter.non-perishable foods such as cookies, cake, crackers, fruit, etc. can be stored in the residents room.with the resident's name and date of storage.If opened, the food must be sealed, dated to the date opened and disposed by the best buy date or 30 days, whichever comes first.Per an undated facility policy, titled Foods Brought by Family/Visitors, .All personnel involved in preparing, handling, serving or assisting the resident with meals or snacks will be trained in safe food handling practices.Food brought by family/visitors that is left with the resident to consume later will labeled and stored.Potentially hazardous foods that are left out for the resident without a source of heat or refrigeration longer than 2 hours will be discarded.Per a facility policy, dated 2023 and titled Reheating Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055078 If continuation sheet Page 18 of 22 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 055078 B.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain accurately documented records when the wrong blood pressure (BP) reading was recorded on the Medication Administration Record (MAR, an official legal document that has a complete and accurate record of all medications administered to a resident to ensure patient safety) of one out of five sampled residents (Resident 9). This failure resulted in inaccurate documentation in Resident 9's medical records.Findings:During a concurrent interview and record review with Licensed Nurse (LN) 16 on 9/24/25 at 10:53 A.M., a review of Resident 9's clinical records was conducted. Resident 9's clinical records indicated she had active orders for medications, including the following: losartan (a medication for high blood pressure) 25 milligrams (mg, unit of measurement for dose) - give one tablet by mouth one time a day for HTN (hypertension, high blood pressure). Hold if SBP (systolic blood pressure, the top number in a blood pressure reading) less than 110, started 10/1/24, and metoprolol (a medication for high blood pressure) 25 mg - give one tablet by mouth two times a day (9 A.M. and 9:30 P.M.) for HTN. Hold if SBP less than 110 or HR (heart rate) less than 60 ., started 10/1/24.A review of Resident 9's clinical records indicated her BP was 103/59 on 9/18/25, but received her losartan dose and her 9 A.M. metoprolol dose, despite the blood pressure hold parameter in the physician's orders. LN 16 stated nurses measured BP before administering BP medications. LN 16 stated Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) also measured BP throughout the day. LN 16 stated, I accidentally inputted the CNAs vital signs (VS, important measurements such as BP, HR, temperature and respiratory rate [breaths per minute]) rather than the one I took. LN 16 stated he took Resident 9's BP before administering her BP medications on 9/18/25. LN 16 handwrote Resident 9's BP on a sheet of paper on 9/18/25. LN 16 read from that sheet and stated Resident 9's BP was 118/68 on 9/18/25 at 9 A.M.During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 9's clinical records with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/24/25 at 1:13 P.M., the DON stated LN 16 took Resident 9's BP before administering her BP medications at 9 A.M. on 9/18/25 and hand wrote the BP. The DON stated the BP recorded electronically on 9/18/25 was taken by the CNA at 11:25 A.M. The DON stated LN 16 did not enter his own BP reading on Resident 9's MAR on 9/18/25, but entered the CNA's BP reading.A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Charting and Documentation, revised 7/2017, indicated, .3.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to implement proper infection control practices in one of 15 sampled residents (Resident 26). This occurred when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1 and CNA 2 did not wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE, clothing or equipment, such as gowns, gloves and masks, designed to prevent the spread of infections) while caring for Resident 26, who was on enhanced barrier precautions (EBP, infection control practices designed to prevent the spread of multidrug resistant organisms [MDROs, germs that cannot be killed or inactivated by medications] in nursing homes). This failure had the potential to put residents, staff, and visitors at risk for infections due to cross-contamination.Findings:During a medication administration observation on 9/21/25 at 9:28 A.M., immediately outside Resident 26's room, Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 stated Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were changing Resident 26. LN 1 stated she would give Resident 26 medications after the CNAs were done providing him with care. A sign was observed posted outside Resident 26's door, which read, Enhanced Barrier Precautions [EBP].staff must.wear gloves and a gown for the following high-contact resident care activities.transferring[,] changing linens[,] providing hygiene[,]. CNA 2 and CNA 3 were observed repositioning Resident 26 in a wheelchair. Both CNAs had gloves on, CNA 3 had a mask on, but neither wore a gown. CNA 2 was observed brushing Resident 26's hair and putting a baseball cap on him, while CNA 3 was observed changing linens from Resident 26's bed. CNA 2 was observed without gloves. Resident 26 was observed being transferred out of his room; CNA 2 pushed Resident 26's wheelchair with her bare hands as CNA 3 walked alongside them.During an interview with LN 1 on 9/21/25 at 9:49 A.M., LN 1 stated the EBP sign was for Resident 26 because he has a catheter [a tube used to remove urine from the bladder]. LN 1 stated CNA 2 and CNA 3 should have worn gowns before changing Resident 26's linens and while transferring him. LN 1 stated, they were supposed to gown up.to prevent bacteria from entering him or [CNA 2 and CNA 3] because he has a catheter.During an interview with CNA 2 and CNA 3 on 9/21/25 at 10:01 A.M., CNA 2 stated that because Resident 26 had a catheter, he was on EBP. CNA 2 stated caring for residents on EBP requires staff to gown up usually. That's where we went wrong. CNA 2 stated gowning [wearing gowns] was important to protect ourselves.to protect the patient also.During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP) on 9/22/25 at 2:23 P.M., the IP stated staff were expected to wear gloves, gown and a mask when changing linens because there's a chance for things to splash back because there's crumbs and all sorts of things in the bed. The IP stated staff were expected to wear gloves, gown and a mask when transferring a resident on EBP because of the direct contact with the patient. The IP stated PPE was important to wear because without it .infections could.spread throughout the facility.A review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC, a national agency that provides guidance on public health issues) resource on EBP, titled, Implementation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Use in Nursing Homes to Prevent Spread of Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs), dated 4/2/24, indicated, .PPE .refer to the use of gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. MDROs may be indirectly transferred from resident-to-resident during these high-contact care activities.A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, revised 12/2024, indicated, .7. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use.during high contact resident care activities.c. Face protection may be used if there is a risk of splash or spray. 8.
