procedure by failing to ensure that two of six sampled residents (Resident 1 and Resident 4) were tested for
COVID-19 after being exposed to a COVID-19 (a contagious disease) positive resident.This deficient
practice had the potential to place residents, staff members, and visitors at risk for spreading infection.
There was also the potential to cause further delay in the treatment for Resident 1 and Resident
4.Findings:a. Resident 4's admission RECORD indicated Resident 4 was admitted to the facility in 2022
with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (group of lung diseases that cause
long-term breathing problems). A review of Resident 4's medical record titled, SBAR & INITIAL

also remained in the same room.During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/15/25, at 3:49 PM,
with the Infection Preventionist (IP), Resident 4's medical record was reviewed. The IP stated as a general
practice, the facility staff swabbed the residents who had symptoms of COVID-19 and the residents who
had been exposed to the virus. The IP further stated that exposed residents would have been tested on day
1, day 3, and day 5. The IP explained that the staff should have immediately tested the roommate of any
COVID -19 positive resident. The IP confirmed the facility did not have documentation that Resident 4 (the
roommate of Resident 3), was tested for COVID-19 on 7/10/25 and 7/12/25. The IP further confirmed there

was symptomatic, the staff immediately performed a COVID -19 test. The IP further stated it was important
to test the roommate because there was a potential to spread the infection. The IP confirmed that Resident
1 did not have documentation of the COVID-19 test completed when her roommate (Resident 2) tested
positive on 7/3/25. During a concurrent interview and record review on 7/16/25, at 1:53 PM, with the
Director of Nursing (DON), Resident 4 and Resident 1's medical records were reviewed. The DON stated if
the result of the first COVID-19 test was negative, the nursing staff should have continued with the testing
for the third and fifth day of exposure. The DON further stated that when a resident tested positive for
COVID-19, the nursing staff should have tested the roommate for COVID-19 within 24 hours. The DON
stated she expected the nursing staff to document when a resident was tested for COVID-19 because if
they did not document, it meant it was not done. The DON confirmed that Resident 4 had no documentation
that she was tested for COVID-19 within 24 hours of exposure from her roommate Resident 3. The DON
further confirmed that Resident 1 had no documentation that she was tested for COVID-19 within 24 hours
of exposure from her roommate (Resident 2) or on the succeeding days. A review of undated facility
document titled, Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) -Infection Prevention and Control Measures, indicated,
.The infection prevention and control measures that are implemented to address the SARS-CoV-2
pandemic are incorporated into the facility infection prevention and control plan. These measures
include.performing testing as recommended by current guidelines. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) publication titled, Infection Control Guidance: SARS-CoV-2, dated June 24,
2024, indicated, .Perform SARS-CoV-2 Viral Testing.Asymptomatic patients with close contact with
someone with SARS-CoV-2 infection should have a series of three viral tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Testing is recommended immediately (but not earlier than 24 hours after the exposure) and, if negative,
again 48 hours after the first negative test and, if negative, again 48 hours after the second negative test.
This will typically be at day 1 (where day of exposure is day 0), day 3, and day 5.
