Designate a qualified infection preventionist to be responsible for the infection prevent and control program
in the nursing home.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to designate an individual as the infection
preventionist (IP, oversees the facility Infection Prevention and Control program) on 2/24/2025 to 2/25/2025
and while the facility was having a COVID-19 (an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus)
outbreak (at least three COVID-19 positive cases in the facility within a seven-day period among residents
and/or staff).
This failure had the potential for the facility's Infection Prevention and Control program to not be
implemented which could result in residents (in general), staff, and visitors contracting and spreading
Covid-19.
Findings:
During a telephone interview on 2/26/2025 at 10:45 a.m. with the Public Health Nurse (PHN), the PHN
stated the PHN had been working with the facility because the facility was currently going through a covid
-19 outbreak. The PHN stated the facility's IP had quit and that the PHN did not know who would take over
for the IP.
During a telephone interview on 2/26/2025 at 11:35 a.m. with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1
stated LVN 1 was the facility's previously designated IP and last worked as the IP on 2/21/2025. LVN 1
stated LVN 1 was no longer the facility's IP. LVN 1 stated LVN 1 had been assigned to pass medications to
residents (in general) on 2/24/2025 and 2/25/2025.
During an interview on 2/27/2025 at 9:04 a.m. with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated the DON assigned LVN 1 to take
care of residents (in general) as a charge nurse on 2/24/2025 and 2/25/2025. The IP stated the facility
management (in general) informed LVN 1 that LVN 1 would remain the facility IP until the facility found
another IP to replace LVN 1.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/27/2025 at 9:30 a.m. with the Director of Staff
Development (DSD), the facility's Daily Nursing Staffing Sign-In Log, dated 2/24/2025, and the facility's
Daily Nursing Staffing Sign-In Log, dated 2/25/2025 were reviewed. The DSD stated both Daily Nursing
Staffing Sign-In Logs indicated IP was assigned to work as a charge nurse and not as IP on 2/24/2025
and2/25/2025.
During a review of the facilities job description titled, Infection Preventionist, undated, the job description
indicated, The Infection Preventionist (IP) serves as the facility's Infection Prevention and Control Officer,
with oversight of the facility Infection Prevention and Control program. The IP serves as a practitioner,
resource, consultant, educator, and facilitator .

Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the facility's influenza immunization
(flu vaccination, protect against infection by influenza viruses) and/or pneumococcal immunizations
(pneumococcal vaccine [PCV] protects against infections caused by the bacterium Streptococcus
pneumoniae) program for four of seven sampled residents (Resident 1, 2, 3, and 4) when:
Residents Affected - Some
a. For Resident 1, who refused the flu vaccination on 10/7/2024, the facility failed to document that
education was provided regarding risk vs benefits of taking an influenza vaccination. Resident 1's medical
record did not contain a signed declination for the flu vaccination.
b. Facility staff administered a flu vaccination to Resident 2 on 10/1/2024. The facility staff failed to
document in Resident 2's medical record the lot number (how a manufacturer keeps track of where and
when the vaccination was produced) of the flu vaccination administered to Resident 2. Resident 2's medical
record failed to contain a signed informed consent for Resident 2 to receive a flu vaccination.
c. The facility failed to administer a PCV to Resident 3 after Resident 3's Resident Representative (RR)
signed an informed consent to receive the PCV on 1/10/2025.
d. The facility failed to administer a PCV and a flu vaccination to Resident 4 after Resident 4 signed
informed consents on 2/5/2025 to receive both the PCV and flu vaccination.
These failures had the potential for residents to not receive vaccinations that are used to protect residents
from influenza viruses and/or by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae and for residents to not be
informed of the risks and benefits of the vaccines.
(Cross Reference F887)
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 1's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 1
on 1/25/2022, with diagnoses including hemiplegia (Muscle weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the
body that can affect the arms, legs, and facial muscles) and hemiparesis (muscle weakness or partial
paralysis on one side of the body) following cerebral infarction (also called ischemic stroke, occurs as a
result of disrupted blood flow to the brain), respiratory failure (when the lungs can't get enough oxygen into
the blood), and epilepsy (a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures).
During a review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool), dated 2/6/2025, the
MDS indicated Resident 1 was severely impaired (never/rarely made decisions) impaired in cognitive skills
(ability to make daily decisions). The MDS indicated Resident 1 required substantial/maximal assistance
(helper does more than half the effort) from staff for toileting, oral, and personal hygiene and dressing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/26/2025, at 3:41 p.m. with the Director of Nursing
(DON), Resident 1's Immunization Report, dated 2/26/2025 was reviewed. The Immunization Report
indicated Resident 1 refused to receive a flu vaccination from the facility for the 2024/2025 Influenza
season. The DON stated Resident 1's medical record indicated no documentation that education was

Educate residents and staff on COVID-19 vaccination, offer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents and
staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement the facility's Covid-19 (a respiratory
illness caused by a virus that easily spreads from person to person) immunization (Covid vaccination, a
vaccine intended to provide immunity against Covid-19) program for three of seven sampled residents
(Resident 2, 4, and 5) and all facility staff when:
a. The facility failed to offer the latest covid vaccination to Resident 2.
b. The facility failed to administer a covid vaccination to Resident 4 after Resident 4 signed an informed
consent on 2/5/2025 to receive the covid vaccination.
c. For Resident 5, who received a covid vaccination on 4/24/2024, the facility failed to document if Resident
5 was provided education regarding the benefits and potential risks associated with the covid vaccination.
d. The facility failed to maintain documentation of screening, education, offering, and current Covid-19
vaccination status for the facility's staff.
These failures had the potential for residents and staff to not be vaccinated for Covid-19 which could result
in the spread of Covid-19 to residents, staff, and visitors in the facility.
Findings:
a. During a review of Resident 2's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 2
on 11/18/2018, and readmitted Resident 2 on 7/13/2024 with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus

the MDS indicated Resident 2 was moderately impaired in cognitive skills (decisions poor; cues/supervision

from staff for toileting and personal hygiene and dressing.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/26/2025, at 3:45 p.m. with the DON, Resident 2's
medical record was reviewed. The DON stated Resident 2's medical records indicated no documentation
that Resident 2 was offered the latest Covid-19 vaccination. The DON stated if Resident 2's medical record
did not contain documentation that Resident 2 was offered the Covid-19 vaccination then the facility staff
did not offer the Covid-19 vaccination to Resident 2.
b. During a review of Resident 4's AR, the AR indicated the facility admitted Resident 4 on 2/5/2025 with
diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, a group of diseases that cause airflow
blockage and breathing-related problems), acute pulmonary edema (swelling caused by too much fluid
trapped in the body's tissues), and muscle weakness.
