Immediately tell the resident, the resident's doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room,
etc.) that affect the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to notify one of three sampled resident ' s (Resident 1)
resident representative (RR) 1 immediately after Resident 1 sustained a fall and was transferred to a
General Acute Care Hospital (GACH) for evaluation.
This failure resulted Resident 1 ' s RR 1 not being notified of Resident 1 ' s fall and transfer to the GACH
until five hours and 25 minutes later. The deficient practice resulted in violation of the RR 1 ' s right to be
informed of Resident 1 ' s care and services provided.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 1 ' s admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 1 was
admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including acute cerebrovascular insufficiency (a
temporary lack of blood flow to the brain), hemiplegia (total paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the same
side of the body) affecting left dominant side, abnormalities of gait (a manner of walking on foot) and
mobility.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s History & Physical (H&P), dated 4/6/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 1
had the capacity to understand and make decisions.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident
assessment tool), dated 10/9/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 1 had severe cognitive impairment and
was usually able to understand and be understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident 1 required
maximal assistance from staff for sit to lying, lying to sitting on side of bed, sit to stand position, and
required partial/ moderate assistance from staff for chair to bed and bed to chair transfers.
During a review of Resident 1 ' s Progress Notes, dated 1/9/2025, the Progress Notes indicated, on
1/9/2025 at 3:20 p.m., Resident 1 fell and hit the left side of her head on the floor. The Progress Notes
indicated Resident 1 was transferred to a GACH for evaluation.
During a telephone interview on 1/15/2025 at 2:12 p.m., with RR 1, RR stated RR 2 called the facility on
1/9/2025 around 8 p.m. and was told Resident 1 was not at the facility and was transferred to the GACH.
RR 1 stated she and RR 2 were concerned that they were not aware of Resident 1 ' s status and surprised
to hear that Resident 1 was not at the facility. RR 1 stated she was upset and frustrated because the facility
should have called her immediately after Resident 1 had the fall and was transferred to the GACH on
1/9/2025.

(DON), Resident 1 ' s Progress Notes dated 1/9/2025 and timed at 3:20 p.m. was reviewed. The Progress
Notes indicated Resident 1 sustained a witnessed fall and Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 2 notified RR 1
of the fall and transfer to the GACH at 8:45 p.m. (five hours and 25 minutes after the incident occurred). The
DON stated, the family/RRs should have been notified immediately so the family was aware, knows what
happened, doesn ' t worry, and doesn ' t get upset. The DON stated if the nurse was busy, and CN 1 got too
busy to call Resident 1 ' s RRs, then another nurse or the DON should have notified the family immediately
of what happened and where the resident was transferred to.
During a review of the facility ' s policy and procedure (P&P) titled Change in Condition, Response, dated
1/2022, the P&P indicated, the resident/resident representative will be notified of the change of condition

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 implement its Infection Prevention and Control
Program by failing to:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Ensure Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 4 ' s N95 (a disposable face mask that cover ' s the user ' s nose
and mouth which offers protection from small solid or liquid droplets found in the air) was covering her
nose.
2. Ensure CNA 4 washed her hands upon exiting Resident 10 ' s room after providing care to Resident 10.
These failures placed residents, staff, and the community at higher risk for cross contamination,
transmitting infectious microorganisms, and an increased spread of Influenza A (a contagious an infection
of the nose, throat and lungs, which are part of the respiratory system) in the facility and community.
Findings:
During a review of Resident 10 ' s admission Record (Face Sheet), the Face Sheet indicated Resident 10
was initially admitted on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes
mellitus (DM - a disorder characterized by difficulty in blood sugar control and poor wound healing), acute
respiratory failure (a serious medical condition that occurs when the lungs are unable to absorb enough
oxygen into the blood), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a chronic lung disease causing
difficulty in breathing).
During a review of Resident 10 ' s Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident
assessment tool), dated 10/15/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 10's cognition was intact and was able to
understand and be understood by others.
During an observation on 1/17/2025, at 5:10 p.m., in Resident 10 ' s room, Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA
4) was observed wearing an N95 mask below her nose while talking to Resident 10 and adjusting his
clothing. CNA 4 was then observed walking out of Resident 10 ' s room, did not use hand sanitizer, nor
wash her hands after providing care to Resident 10.
During an interview on 1/17/2025 at 5:12 p.m. with CNA 4, CNA 4 stated, she had the mask below her nose
because it was hard to breathe. CNA 4 stated she should have had the N95 covering both her mouth and
nose. CNA 4 stated it is important to wear the N95 face mask appropriately, so germs are not spread to
other residents making them sick. CNA 4 stated she forgot to use hand sanitizer and wash her hands upon
exiting Resident 10 ' s room. CNA 4 stated hand washing should be done to prevent the spread of germs to
other residents which could potentially make them sick.
During an interview on 1/17/2025 at 5:15 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated, all staff
are supposed to wear the N95 face mask snugly above their nose and covering the mouth. The IP stated
the importance of wearing the N95 mask correctly is because it protects staff from contracting and
spreading Influenza A throughout the facility, especially during an outbreak. The IP stated all staff must
wash their hands with soap and water before and after direct contact with the residents.
