F 0609 Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper authorities. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure: Residents Affected - Few 1. staff were knowledgeable of the abuse reporting guidelines: whom to report abuse allegations and the time frame for reporting abuse allegations, and 2.an abuse allegation was reported within the two-hour reporting time frame. These failures could put all facility residents at risk to experience abuse without timely reporting to the designated agencies. Findings: 1. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 10:54 a.m., Unlicensed Staff A stated abuse allegations should be reported to the state (California Department of Public Health or CDPH) and the Administrator (ADM) within 24 hours. Unlicensed Staff A stated it was important for abuse allegations to be reported to the right agencies and at the appropriate time frame so the allegations could be investigated while the details were still clear for the safety and wellbeing of the residents. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 12:57 a.m., Licensed Nurse (LN) B stated abuse allegations were expected to be reported to the state and the Ombudsman (an advocate for residents of nursing homes, board and care centers, and assisted living facilities). LN B stated the police should be notified depending on type of abuse. LN B stated it was important to know the correct agency to report abuse allegations to ensure residents safety. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 1:21 p.m., Unlicensed Staff C stated was expected to report abuse allegations only to the ombudsman and the state. Unlicensed Staff C stated as far she knew, abuse allegations should be reported within 24 hours to get the story straight and to get the alleged abuser away to protect the resident. During an interview on 6/18/24 at 2:04 p.m., the Minimum Data Set assessment Coordinator (MDSC, a licensed nurse, often an RN, who manages the assessment process for residents in long-term care facilities using the MDS system) stated was expected to report abuse allegations to the ombudsman and then asked, was there more? The MDSC stated it was important to report abuse allegations to the right agencies to protect the resident. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:19 p.m., Unlicensed Staff D stated was expected to report abuse allegations within 24 hours only to law enforcement and the Ombudsman.

During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:25 p.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated was expected to report abuse allegations only to the ombudsman and law enforcement to protect the resident. Residents Affected - Few A review of the All Facilities Letter (AFL, information contained may include changes in requirements in healthcare, enforcement, new technologies, scope of practice, or general information that affects the health facility) 21-26, dated 7/26/21, indicated, .

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure staff followed the facility's enhanced barrier precautions (EBP, an infection control intervention, that involves the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact care activities to reduce the transmission of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms [MDROs, bacteria, that have become resistant to multiple antibiotics]) for one out of two sampled residents (Resident 2) when staff did not wear gown while changing Resident 2's incontinence brief (a type of absorbent undergarment, similar to an adult diaper). Residents Affected - Few This failure could result in a higher risk of transmitting MDROs to residents and could make residents sick. Findings A review of Resident 2's face sheet (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident) indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in September 2017 with diagnoses including Neuromuscular Dysfunction of Bladder (neurogenic bladder-a problem in which a person lacks bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord, or nerve condition). A review of Resident 2's care plan (CP, a detailed, written document that outlines a resident's individual needs, goals, and how their care will be managed), dated 1/2025, indicated Resident 2 had an Indwelling Catheter (IC-a hollow tube inserted into the bladder to drain or collect urine). During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/18/25 at 2:58 p.m., Resident 2 was noted to have an IC. Unlicensed Staff E and Unlicensed Staff F was observed not wearing gowns while changing Resident 2's incontinence brief. Resident 2's room had a document by the door titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP). The EBP document indicated staff should wear gown and gloves when changing incontinence briefs. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:00 p.m., Unlicensed Staff E and Unlicensed Staff F verified they did not wear gowns when they changed Resident 2's incontinence brief. Unlicensed Staff E verified Resident 2 had an IC and they should have worn gowns when changing Resident 2s incontinence brief. Unlicensed Staff E stated following the EBP, such as wearing gown when changing incontinence briefs, was for infection prevention and to prevent cross contamination (when bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one object to another). During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:05 p.m., Resident 2 verified Unlicensed Staff E and Unlicensed Staff F did not wear gowns when they changed her incontinence brief earlier. Resident 2 stated she was surprised to learn that staff should be wearing a gown whenever they changed her incontinence brief and added, staff had never wore a gown when they were changing her incontinence brief. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:17 p.m., Licensed Nurse (LN) G stated residents with ICs were placed on EBP and staff should wear gowns when they were changing incontinence briefs as an infection control measure, to prevent cross contamination and getting others sick. During an interview on 6/18/25 at 3:25 p.m., the Infection Preventionist (IP) stated all residents who had an IC were placed on EBP. The IP verified Resident 2 had an IC and staff should wear gown when they were changing Resident 2's incontinence brief. The IP stated if staff did not wear a gown while changing Resident 2's incontinence brief, it meant the EBP was not followed.
