This survey cited 16 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to maintain or improve mobility, and prevent decline in range of motion (ROM) for two out of 19 sampled residents (Resident 30 and Resident 23) when:1. Resident 30's restorative nursing program (RNA programinterventions that actively focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning) frequency was not followed; and,2. An RNA program referral from Physical Therapy (PT) was not implemented for Resident 23.This failure had the potential for Resident 30 and Resident 23 to experience a decline in range of motion and/or function and not achieve their highest practicable physical wellbeing.Findings: 1. A review of Resident 30's clinical record indicated Resident 30 was admitted June of 2023 and had diagnoses that included hemiplegia (complete loss of the ability to move one side of the body) and hemiparesis (partial weakness of one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (damage to a part in the brain due to a disrupted blood flow) and contractures (permanent shortening of muscles, skin, and nearby soft tissue that results in limited range of motion and stiffness) of left hand and right knee. A review of Resident 30's Minimum Data Set (MDS– a federally mandated resident assessment tool) Cognitive Patterns, dated 8/7/25, indicated Resident 30 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to assess cognition) score of 5 out of 15 which indicated Resident 30 had a severely intact cognition (mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). A review of Resident 30's MDS Functional Abilities indicated Resident 30 was dependent with eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathing self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. A further review of Resident 30's MDS Functional Abilities indicated Resident 30 was also dependent with rolling left and right, chair/bed-to-chair transfer, and tub/shower transfer. During a phone interview on 9/8/25 at 3:15 p.m. with Resident 30's daughter, Resident 30's daughter stated Resident 30 was not getting his exercises as often as he needed. A review of Resident 30's active physician's order, dated 10/13/23, indicated, RNA to provide PROM [passive range of motion- the movement of a joint by an external force] for BLE's [bilateral lower extremitiesboth legs] .3x/wk [three times a week] with 1 person assist. every day shift. A review of Resident 30's active physician's order, dated 10/13/23, indicated, RNA to provide PROM for LUE [left upper extremity- left arm] .3x/wk with 1 person assist, as tolerated. every day shift. A review of Resident 30's care plan intervention, revised 1/23/24, indicated, RNA to provide PROM (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.

F 0688 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few for BLE's .3x/wk with 1 person assist. every day shift .RNA to provide PROM on LUE .3x/wk with 1 person assist, as tolerated. PROVIDE RNA AS ORDERED . During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25 at 2:49 p.m. with Restorative Nurse Assistant (RNA) 1, Resident 30's RNA flowsheet for the August and September 2025 were reviewed. RNA 1 confirmed that Resident 30 only received PROM of BLE and LUE on 8/1, 8/4, 8/7, 8/11, 8/13, 8/15, 8/18, 8/20, 8/22, 8/26, 8/28, 9/1, and 9/4. The RNA 1 confirmed that Resident 30 did not get his exercises in accordance with the ordered RNA program frequencies which were three times a week. RNA 1 stated the RNA frequency order should have been followed. RNA 1 further stated there would be a risk for contracture and decline in function if Resident 30's RNA program frequency was not followed. During an interview on 9/10/25 at 3:16 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated RNA program frequency should have been followed and there should have been documentation about why the exercises were not done. The DSD further stated Resident 30 would be a risk for contracture and weakness if the RNA program frequency was not followed. During an interview on 9/11/25 at 10:49 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that he would expect that RNA program frequency would be followed. The DON further stated that the resident would be at risk for decline in function if the RNA program frequency was not followed. A review of the facility's policy and procedures titled, Restorative Program, revised 4/2019, indicated, The Restorative Program focuses on achieving and maintaining optimal physical, mental and psychological functioning of the resident to attain/maintain each resident's highest practicable functioning. The facilityprovides Restorative Programs to promote the resident s ability to adapt andadjust to living as independently and safely as possible .2.Residents who receive restorative services have a care plan with individualized, measurable goals and interventions . Findings: 2. A review of Resident 23's clinical record indicated Resident 23 was admitted [DATE] with diagnoses that included multiple fractures (a medical condition where a bone breaks or cracks) of ribs, traumatic pneumothorax (occurs when air enters the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall, due to an injury), muscle weakness, history of falling, abnormalities of gait (gait refers to the pattern of walking, including the sequence, rhythm, and speed of steps) and mobility (the ability to move or be moved freely and easily). A review of Resident 23's MDS Cognitive Patterns, dated 6/23/25, indicated Resident 23 had a BIMS score of 15 out of 15 which indicated Resident 25 had intact cognition. A review of Resident 23's MDS section GG Functional Abilities, dated 6/29/25, indicated Resident 23 was unable to walk ten feet and used a walker (a mobility aid that provides support and stability for people who have difficulty walking due to leg weakness, balance problems, or recovery from injury or surgery) or a wheelchair (a chair fitted with wheels for use as a means of transport by a person who is unable to walk). A review of Resident 23's RNA program referral, dated 7/22/25, written by Physical Therapist (PT) 1, PT 1 recommended, RNA for ambulation using FWW (front wheeled walker) approximately 150 ft or as tolerated, QD (everyday), 3x/wk (3 times a week) with one person assist, to maintain functional levels.

F 0688 A review of Resident 23's orders revealed no order was placed for the RNA program referral dated 7/22/25. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of Resident 23's care plan revealed no care plan was initiated for the RNA program. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on 9/8/25 at 11 a.m. with Resident 23, Resident 23 stated she did not understand why PT was not happening. Resident 23 stated she was told by PT 1 that insurance coverage for continued PT was denied. Resident 23 stated it was not possible because she had insurance. During an interview on 9/9/25 at 8:58 am with PT 1, PT 1 stated Resident 23 was discharged from the PT program due to insurance coverage on 7/2/2025. PT 1 stated that Resident 23 reached PT goals and was denied by insurance for further PT. PT 1 stated Resident 23 was notified. Resident 23 was referred to the RNA program on 7/22/25. PT 1 stated the referral was placed on the RNA's desk. PT 1 stated the normal process for RNA program referral is to place the referral on the RNA's desk if the RNA is working or put it in the communication binder if the RNA is not working. During an interview on 9/9/25 at 9:51 a.m. Social Service director (SSD), SSD confirmed Resident 23's last day of insurance coverage was 7/3/25. During an Interview on 9/9/25 at 11:55 am with RNA 1, RNA 1 stated they were not aware of the referral and were notified by PT today, 9/9/25. RNA stated the usual process for RNA program referrals begins with PT initiating the referral. PT places the referral on the RNA desk if she is working that day or places it in the communication binder with the referral sticking up to indicate there is a new referral. RNA 1 stated the referral is given to the nurse who is assigned to the resident. The nurse signs off on the referral and returns it to the RNA signed and dated. The RNA implements the plan of care. RNA 1 confirmed the referral was not seen and therefore was not implemented for Resident 23. During an Interview on 9/9/25 at 12:19 PM with PT 1, PT 1 confirmed Resident 23 should have begun the RNA treatment plan on the referral, dated 7/22/25. During an interview on 9/9/25 at 12:48 p.m. with Treatment Nurse (TN) 1, TN 1 stated when an RNA program referral is received, a Licensee Nurse (LN) enters it as an RNA order and then places it in a binder at the nurse's station for the doctor or nurse practitioner (NP) to sign. TN 1 stated the order is immediately available for the RNA to implement. During an interview on 9/9/25 at 1:35 p.m. with the Administrator (Admin), the admin stated when appropriate, residents are referred to the RNA program by PT and the RNA gives a copy of the referral to the Admin and the DON. The administrator indicated they work closely with Resident 23 and was aware of her being discharged from physical therapy and referred to RNA Program. Admin confirmed PT refers residents to the RNA Program. The RNA gives the referral to a nurse to enter the order. Admin confirmed the expectation was for the RNA to implement the plan once the order is entered. Interview on 9/11/25 at 9 a.m. with the DON, the DON stated the process for RNA program referral starts with the Physical Therapist giving the LN who is assigned to the resident the referral. The LN calls the doctor to get the order, and the nurse inputs the order and initiates a care plan. The DON states the RNA has no reason to be involved in the initial referral process and states the RNA is being used as the middle person between the Physical Therapist and the LN. The DON states the RNA should implement the order on the day the order is entered unless it is late in the day, the RNA will (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055189 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 23 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 055189 B.

F 0693 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Ensure that feeding tubes are not used unless there is a medical reason and the resident agrees; and provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one out of 19 sampled residents (Resident 2) was provided with appropriate care and services with enteral feeding (also referred to as tube feeding/ feeding tube- the delivery of food and nutrients through a feeding tube directly into the stomach or part of the intestines) when Resident 2's gastrostomy tube (G-tube- a tube that is placed directly into the stomach through an abdominal wall incision for administration of food, fluids, and medications) was not flushed with water before medication administration and enteral feeding.This failure had the potential for Resident 2 to experience complications of the G-tube such as clogging and for the resident not to attain his highest practicable well-being.Findings:A review of Resident 2's clinical record indicated Resident 2 was admitted November of 2023 and had diagnoses that included encounter of gastrostomy status, dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), and hemiplegia (complete loss of the ability to move one side of the body).A review of Resident 2's active physician's order, dated 11/9/23, indicated, Resident is capable of giving informed consent and/or able to participate in treatment plan.A review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) Swallowing/Nutritional Status, dated 8/12/25, indicated Resident 2 has used a feeding tube while a resident in the facility.A review of Resident 2's care plan, initiated 2/24/24, indicated, The resident [Resident 8] requires tube feeding (gtube) r/t [related to] CVA [cerebrovascular accident/stroke- a condition that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures, cutting off blood flow to the brain] with Hemiplegia, Dysphagia . A review of Resident 2's care plan intervention, dated 4/25/25, indicated, ENTERAL FEEDING: Flush G-tube with 30cc [cubic centimeter- unit of measurement] of water BEFORE and AFTER feedings .ENTERAL FEEDING: Flush G-tube with 30cc of water BEFORE and AFTER medication administration AND flush with 5cc of water in between EACH medication given for prevention of tube clogging.A review of Resident 2's active physician's order, dated 4/24/25, indicated, ENTERAL FEEDING: Flush G-tube with 30cc of water BEFORE and AFTER medication administration AND flush with 5cc of water in between EACH medication given for prevention of tube clogging every shift.A review of Resident 2's active physician's order, dated 8/11/25, indicated, ENTERAL FEEDING: Flush G-tube with 60ml [milliliter- unit of measurement] of water BEFORE and AFTER feedings every 6 hours.During an observation on 9/9/25 at 12:16 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, in Resident 2's room, LN 1 was observed doing Resident 8's tube feeding. LN 1 positioned Resident 8 properly, checked Resident 8 feeding residual [left feeding formula] amount, and checked the gastrostomy tube placement, but did not flush tube with water before starting medication administration and enteral feeding. The flow of the medication and feeding formula was observed to be sluggish during the procedure.During a subsequent interview on 9/9/25 at 1:03 p.m. with LN 1, LN 1 confirmed that she did not flush Resident 2's G-tube with water before starting medication administration and enteral feeding. LN 1 stated she should have flushed the tube with water before starting medication administration and enteral feeding. LN 1 further stated that it could cause the G-tube to clog if the tube was not flushed with water before medication administration and enteral feeding.During an interview on 9/10/25 at 3:16 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), the DSD stated that the G-tube needed to be flushed with water before starting medication administration and enteral feeding to make sure the tube was patent and to prevent clogging.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 10:14 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the nurse was supposed to flush the G-tube with water before starting medication administration and enteral feeding.

F 0697 Provide safe, appropriate pain management for a resident who requires such services. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure one out of 19 sampled residents (Resident 8) received appropriate pain management services consistent with professional standards of practice, facility's policy and procedure (P&P), and physician's order when Resident 8's pain medication order was not consistently followed.This failure had the potential for Resident 8 to develop medication dependence (the inability of the individual to function normally in the absence of the drug), experience unrelieved pain, and not attain her highest practicable well-being.Findings:A review of Resident 8's clinical record indicated Resident 8 was admitted January of 2025 and had diagnoses that included arthritis (a deteriorating disease that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling where two or more bones meet), muscle spasm, and need for assistance with personal care. A review of Resident 8's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool) Cognitive Patterns, dated 7/22/25, indicated Resident 8 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS- a tool to assess cognition) score of 15 out of 15 which indicated Resident 8 had an intact cognition (mental process of acquiring knowledge and understanding). A review of Resident 8's MDS Health Conditions, dated 7/22/25, indicated Resident 8 received scheduled and as needed pain medications and non-medication intervention for pain. During an interview on 9/8/25 at 10 a.m. with Resident 8, in Resident 8's room, Resident 8 stated she frequently experiences pain, and she has high pain tolerance. Resident 8 further stated the medications she was being given helps a little but was not enough.A review of Resident 8's Care Plan Report, revised 1/15/25, indicated, At risk for pain or discomfort related to muscle spasm, arthritis . A review of Resident 8's care plan intervention, initiated 1/15/25, indicated, Administer pain meds [medications] as MD [medical doctor] ordered and evaluate effectiveness.A review of Resident 8's physician's order, dated 4/25/25, indicated, HYDROcodone-Acetaminophen [Norco- a medication for pain which contains a combination of hydrocodone; a controlled pain medication, and Acetaminophen; a potent pain reliever] Oral Tablet 5-325 MG [milligrams- unit of measurement] .Give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for 4-7 pain scale [numeric pain scale from 1 to 10; 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest form of pain].A review of Resident 8's physician's order, dated 4/25/25, indicated, oxyCODONE HCl [a pain medication used to relieve severe pain] Oral Tablet 5 MG .Give 1 tablet by mouth every 4 hours as needed for 8-10 pain .A review of Resident 8's medication administration records (MAR- a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) for the month of July and August a 2025 indicated Resident 8 received 1 tablet of hydrocodone-acetaminophen which was indicated for 4-7 levels of pain on the following occasions:7/3/25 at 3:15 p.m.- pain level was 87/5/25 at 12:46 a.m.pain level was 07/27/25 at 9:24 a.m.- pain level was 88/6/25 at 11:15 a.m.- pain level was 88/20/25 at 10:19 a.m.- pain level was 88/22/25 at 9:17 a.m.- pain level was 10During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25 at 1:58 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2, Resident 8's clinical records were reviewed. LN 2 confirmed that Resident 8's pain medication orders were not consistently followed. LN 2 stated that nurses should follow the physician's order when administering pain medication.

F 0755 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Provide pharmaceutical services to meet the needs of each resident and employ or obtain the services of a licensed pharmacist. Based on interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure safe and effective pharmaceutical services for a census of 55 residents when Resident 41 and Resident 47's controlled drug (drug with potential for abuse) uses and removal signed out from the Controlled Drug Record (CDR- a paper log of controlled drug removal for administration to resident) were not documented in their Medication Administration Record (MAR-a legal document that list administered drugs).This failed practice may contribute to unsafe controlled medication handling and/or risk of controlled drug diversion (unlawful channeling of regulated pharmaceuticals from legal sources to the illicit marketplace).Findings:1a. A review of Resident 41's clinical record indicated Resident 41 was admitted May of 2020 and had diagnoses that included gout (a form of arthritis that causes severe pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in joints), neuralgia (pain caused by irritation or damage to a nerve), and neuritis (inflammation of a nerve causing pain).A review of Resident 41's active physician's order, dated 4/25/23, indicated, Resident is not capable of giving informed consent and/or able to participate in treatment plan.A review of Resident 41's active physician's order, dated 4/21/25, indicated, Norco Tablet [a medication for pain which contains a combination of hydrocodone; a controlled pain medication, and Acetaminophen; a potent pain reliever] 5-325 MG [milligrams- unit of measurement] .Give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hoursas needed for moderate-severe pain 4-10 pain scale [numeric pain scale from 1 to 10; 1-3 is mild pain, 4-6 is moderate pain, 7-10 is severe pain] .A random audit of Resident 41's MAR and the CDR for Norco, for August and September 2025, indicated nursing staff did not document Norco administration on the MAR when signed out from CDR on the following times: 1 tablet on 8/18/25 at 1:02 p.m.1 tablet on 8/19/25 at 1:06 a.m. 1 tablet on 9/8/25 at 12:25 p.m.1b. A review of Resident 47's clinical record indicated Resident 47 was admitted May of 2025 and had diagnoses that included dementia (memory loss that interferes with daily functions, muscle weakness, and need for assistance with personal care.A review of Resident 47's active physician's order, dated 5/16/25, indicated, HYDROcodone-Acetaminophen [Norco] Oral Tablet 5-325 MG . Give 1 tablet by mouth every 6 hours as needed for moderate to severe pain 4-10 .A random audit of Resident 47's MAR and the CDR for Norco, for August and September 2025, indicated nursing staff did not document Norco administration on the MAR when signed out from CDR on the following times:1 tablet on 8/25/25 at 9 a.m.1 tablet on 9/4/25 at 7:45 a.m.During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/10/25 at 1:58 p.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2, Resident 41 and Resident 47's's CDR and MAR were reviewed. LN 2 confirmed the finding of Norco being signed out of Resident 41 and Resident 47's CDR but was not accurately documented on the MAR. LN 2 stated that Norco administration should be both signed out in the CDR and signed in the MAR.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 9:52 a.m. with the Consultant Pharmacist (CP), the CP stated he would expect nurses to always sign off the CDR and MAR when administering controlled medications. The CP further stated there would be a risk for controlled drug diversion or issues like unsafe handling of controlled drugs if the CDR and MAR are not both signed.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 10:49 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated he would expect the nurse to sign both the CDR and MAR when administering controlled medications. The DON further stated once the nurse pops the controlled medication in the pill cup, they should sign the CDR, then after administering the medication, the nurse should sign the MAR.A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Documentation of Medication Administration, revised 1/2025, indicated, 1.

F 0759 Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure safe medication administration practices were followed when the facility's medication error rate was more than 5% (percentage- number or ratio that expressed as a fraction of 100) for a resident census of 55. Medication administration observations were conducted over multiple days, at varied times, in random locations throughout the facility. The facility had a total of three errors out of 36 opportunities which resulted in a facility wide medication error rate of 8.33% in one out of 9 residents (Resident 32) observed for medication administration.These failures had the potential for unsafe and ineffective medication use for Resident 32 and had the potential to negatively affect the residents' medical conditions.Findings:During a medication administration observation which started on 9/8/25 at 10:54 a.m. with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, LN 1 administered a total of six pills to Resident 32 which included 1 capsule of aspirin-dipyridamole (a medication used to prevent stroke) ER (extended release) 25-200 mg (milligrams- unit of measurement), 1 capsule of docusate sodium (a medication utilized for managing and treating infrequent or difficult bowel movements) 100 mg, and 1 tablet of buspirone (a prescription medication used to treat anxiety and/or depression) 5 mg.A review of Resident 32's active physician's order, dated 6/30/25, indicated, Aspirin-Dipyridamole ER Oral Capsule Extended Release 12 Hour 25-200 MG .Give 1 capsule by mouth two times a day related to UNSPECIFIED SEQUELAE [a condition which is the consequence of a previous disease or injury] OF CEREBRAL INFARCTION [damage to a part in the brain due to a disrupted blood flow].A review of Resident 32's active physician's order, dated 6/10/25, indicated, Docusate Sodium Oral Capsule 100 MG .Give 1 capsule by mouth two times a day for bowel management.A review of Resident 32's active physician's order, dated 7/15/25, indicated, busPIRone HCl Oral Tablet 5 MG .Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for manifested by [sic] self isolation related to MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER, RECURRENT [persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life] .A review of Resident 32's medication administration records (MAR- a daily documentation record used by a licensed nurse to document medications and treatments given to a resident) for the month of September 2025 indicated Resident 32's morning dose of aspirin-dipyridamole, docusate sodium, and buspirone were all scheduled at 9 a.m.During a concurrent interview and medication order review on 9/8/25 at 2:32 p.m. with LN 1, LN 1 acknowledged the observed medication administration of aspirin-dipyridamole, docusate sodium, and buspirone to Resident 32 which were two hours after the scheduled time. LN 1 stated she was aware that the medications aware were administered late. LN 1 also stated she was supposed to administer the medications an hour before or after the scheduled time of administration to maintain therapeutic level (concentration of a medication in the body that is high enough to produce the desired medical effect without causing significant side effects) of medication in the resident.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 9:52 a.m. with the Consultant Pharmacist (CP), the CP stated nurses really need to administer medication within that 1-hour before or after scheduled time frame. The CP further stated there would be a risk that residents could not get the full effect of the medication, possible side effect issues, and poor therapeutic level management.During an interview on 9/11/25 at 10:49 a.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that nurses should always follow the facility's policy in administering scheduled medication which was either 1 hour before or after the scheduled time.Requested the facility's medication administration policies and procedures (P&P) discussing the timing of administering medications but none was providedA review of the facility's policies and procedures titled, Medication Administration, revised 5/2016, indicated, 14.

F 0880 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 follow and maintain an effective infection prevention and control program for a census of 55 when:1. A shared manual blood pressure machine (a device which measures blood pressure), a shared stethoscope (a device used to listen to the body's internal sounds), and a shared pulse oximeter (a medical device that measures the pulse rate and oxygen level in the blood) was not sanitized properly in between use of residents.2. One facility staff did not remove or properly cover a bracelet under personal protective equipment (PPE) while performing wound care for Resident 25.3. Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP, an infection control intervention that utilizes the use of gowns and gloves during direct care activities to reduce transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms) guidelines were not followed for Res 5 and Res 53.These failures had the potential to spread germs and cause infection for a census of 55. Findings: Residents Affected - Some 1. During an observation on 9/8/25 at 10:33 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1, LN 1 was observed checking a resident's blood pressure using a manual blood pressure machine and stethoscope, and the resident's pulse rate using a pulse oximeter which were all shared between residents. LN 1 wrapped the manual blood pressure machine on the resident's upper arm and used the stethoscope to check for the resident's blood pressure. LN 1 then placed the pulse oximeter on one of the resident's fingertips and waited for about a minute to read the results. After reading the results, LN 1 went out the room, wiped the shared manual blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter using a wipe of [Brand name] GERMICIDAL DISPOSABLE WIPE quickly (approximately 5-10 seconds each) to clean the blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter's outer surfaces, then placed the three items on top of the medication cart to let it dry. During another observation on 9/8/25 at 10:44 a.m., with LN 1, LN 1 was observed checking a resident's blood pressure using a manual blood pressure machine and stethoscope, and the resident's pulse rate using a pulse oximeter which were all shared between residents. LN 1 wrapped the manual blood pressure machine on the resident's upper arm and used the stethoscope to check for the resident's blood pressure. LN 1 then placed the pulse oximeter on one of the resident's pointing fingertips and waited for about a minute to read the results. After reading the results, LN 1 went out the room, wiped the shared manual blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter using a wipe each of [Brand name] GERMICIDAL DISPOSABLE WIPE quickly (approximately 5-10 seconds each) to clean the blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter's outer surfaces, then placed the three equipment on top of the medication cart to let it dry. During an interview on 9/8/25 at 2:32 p.m. with LN 1, LN 1 confirmed the two subsequent observations of her cleaning the shared blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter's outer surfaces quickly (approximately 5-10 seconds each) in between use of residents. LN 1 stated the shared blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter should have been wiped for two (2) minutes each to disinfect the three pieces of equipment properly and prevent cross contamination between residents. During an interview on 9/11/25 at 9:25 a.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that the facility's shared blood pressure machine, stethoscope, and pulse oximeter should be disinfect properly every after each resident's use to prevent the risk of infection. The IP further stated that nurses should follow the manufacturer's guidelines of the purple top wipe (germicidal disposable wipe) when sanitizing a shared equipment which was to wipe it, and it should remain visibly wet for two (2) minutes.
