Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident.
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 resident's call light (a device used to
notify the nurse that the resident needs assistance) were answered promptly for two of three sampled
residents (Resident 2 and Resident 3). This deficient practice had the potential to result in the residents not
being able to summon staff for assistance for care and services as needed, which could lead to accidents
such as falls with injuries. During a review of the admission Record, the record indicated Resident 2 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including history of falling, muscle weakness (weakening,
shrinking, and loss of muscle), fibromyalgia (a condition that causes pain all over the body, sleep problems,
fatigue, and often emotional and mental distress) and difficulty in walking. During a review of the Minimum
Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool) dated 12/9/2025, indicated Resident 2's cognitive (mental
action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decisions were moderately
intact. The MDS indicated Resident 2 required moderate assistance from staff for activities of daily living
(ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for
themselves). During a review of Resident 2's care plan (CP) for high risk for falls and injury, the CP included
interventions such as, have things needed by the resident within reach including call light and other
common personal items.During an observation of the facility on 12/30/2025 at 12/30/2025 at 9:40 a.m., a
buzzing sound can be heard at Nursing Station 1 and a light bulb was lit. Three staff in the nursing station
were observed sitting and looking at a computer monitor. The buzzing sound and light was observed from
9:40 a.m. to 9:47 a.m.During an interview with Resident 2 on 12/30/2025 at 10:03 a.m., Resident 2 stated,
she uses the call light especially in the morning where staff sometimes answer the call light immediately, or
sometimes, not at all. Resident 2 stated, she pressed the call light about 20 minutes ago because she
needed her morning medications.2. During a review of the admission Record, the record indicated Resident
3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including metabolic
encephalopathy (a chemical imbalance in the blood affecting the brain) and history of falling. During a
review of the MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated, Resident 3's skills for daily decisions were severely
impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 3 were totally dependent on staff for ADLs.During a review of
Resident 3's CP for communication deficit related to hearing impaired, and high risk for falls and injury
related to metabolic encephalopathy, the CP included interventions such as, keep call light within
reach.During an observation of the facility on 12/30/2025 at 10:59 a.m., a buzzing sound can be heard at
Nursing Station 1 and a light bulb was lit on. Two staff in the nursing station were observed sitting and
looking at a computer monitor. The buzzing sound and light was observed from 10:59 a.m. to 11:07
a.m.During an interview with Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2) on 12/30/2025 at 1:13 p.m., CNA 2
stated, she was assigned to Resident 3 and she was aware that Resident 3 used the call light to request
assistance from staff. CNA 2 stated, she was helping another resident when she

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
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 that staff follow infection prevention
when Treatment Nurse 1 (TXN 1) and Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 3 did not wear personal protective
equipment (PPE- protective items or garments worn which includes the use of gloves, gown, mask, face
shield, when anticipating coming in contact with blood, body fluids or other communicable toxins or agents)
when providing suprapubic catheter change for one of four sampled residents (Resident 1) who was on
Enhanced Barrier Precaution (an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of
multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs - bacteria that are resistant to more than one antibiotic and can
cause serious infections in nursing facilities).This deficient practice has a potential for Resident 1 risk for
acquiring and transmitting infection to other residents, staff and visitors in the facility.Findings:During a
review of Resident 1's admission Record , the admission record indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnosis including hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes mellitus
(a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), Alzheimer's Disease
(a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities) and obstructive uropathy (a condition
in which the flow of urine is blocked and urine flows backward from your bladder into your kidneys).During a
review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS - resident assessment tool) dated 12/2/2025, indicated Resident 1's
cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) skills suggests that the
individual has a severe level of cognitive impairment. The MDS indicated Resident 1 requires moderate to
maximum assistance from the staff for activities of daily living (ADLs- routine tasks/activities such as
bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves). The MDS also indicated that
Resident 1 had a suprapubic catheter. During a review of Resident 1's Order summary report dated
12/31/2025, the order summary indicated a physician's order was initiated on 08/05/2025 stated Enhanced
Barrier Precaution (EBP) related to suprapubic catheter- Apply enhanced barrier to prevent the spread of
infections for specific care activities such as: morning and evening care, toileting and changing incontinence
briefs, caring for devices and giving medical treatments, wound care, mobility assistance and preparing to
leave the room, cleaning and disinfecting the environment every shift for monitoring.During an observation
on 12/30/2025 at 10:46 a.m., a signage of Enhanced Barrier Precaution was posted outside of Resident 1's
room. Treatment Nurse 1 (TXN 1) was observed changing Resident 1's suprapubic catheter with Certified
Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) at Resident 1's bedside. Neither TXN 1 and CNA 3 wore complete PPE.
During an interview with TXN 1 on 12/30/2025 at 12:02 p.m., TXN 1 stated that he forgot to observe the
EBP while changing Resident 1's suprapubic catheter change. TXN 1 stated that CNA 3 should have worn
PPE while assisting. TXN 1 explained the facility follows EBP protocol to reduce the risk of spreading
multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). TXN 1 acknowledged that failing to follow EBP could result in staff
transmitting bacteria or viruses to other residents. During an interview with Infection Preventionist (IP 1) on
12/30/2025 at 1:27 p.m., IP 1 stated that residents that have suprapubic catheter are placed on EBP. IP 1
added that staff are expected to wash hands and wear proper PPE. IP 1 further stated that if EBP is not
followed, there is a high risk of transmitting bacteria to another resident if staff are not wearing proper PPE.
During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Suprapubic Catheter Care, revised on 01/2025 indicated the P&P
indicated that equipment and supplies listed for suprapubic catheter care procedure included wash basin;
soap and water; washcloth; towel; bed protector; drainage sponge (if ordered by physician); and Personal
protective equipment (e.g., gowns, gloves, mask, etc., as needed).During a review of the facility's P&P
titled, Enhanced Barrier
