F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide privacy for one of 22 sampled residents (Resident 69) when staff did not close the privacy curtain while checking Resident 69's Gastrostomy tube (G-tube, feeding tube that is surgically placed through an opening into the stomach from the abdominal wall) site. This deficient practice violated Resident 69's right to bodily privacy and resulted in unnecessary exposure of Resident 69's abdominal area and lower extremities. This deficient practice had the potential to affect Resident 69's psychosocial (mental and emotional) well-being, self-esteem, and self-worth. Findings: During a review of Resident 69's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 69 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included encounter for attention to gastrostomy (creation of an artificial external opening into the stomach for nutritional support) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). During a review of Resident 69's Care Plan (CP) titled, Care Plan Report, revised 1/7/2025, the CP indicated Resident 69 required assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) due to G-tube feeding. The CP interventions indicated for staff to maintain Resident 69's privacy and respect Resident 69's rights. During a review of Resident 69's Physician Order (PO) dated 2/25/2025, the PO indicated for staff to administer Jevity 1.2 (liquid formula used for G-tube feeding) at 50 cubic centimeters per hour (cc/hr- unit of measurement) for 20 hours via enteral pump (medical device used to deliver tube feeding) to provide 1,000 cc per 1,220 kilo calories (kcal, unit of energy) per day. During a review of Resident 69's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 4/3/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 69 had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 69 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting, showering/bathing self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. During an observation on 4/15/2025 at 10:05 am with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), in Resident 69's room, Resident 69 was awake, lying in bed. The DSD pulled up Resident 69's gown and (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 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few checked Resident 69's G-tube site. The DSD did not close Resident 69's privacy curtain to provide Resident 69 privacy, exposing Resident 69's abdominal area and lower extremities to Resident 69's roommate and possibly the hallway. During an interview on 4/15/2025 at 10:07 am with the DSD, the DSD stated the DSD pulled up Resident 69's gown to check Resident 69's G-tube site and did not close the privacy curtain to provide Resident 69 privacy, exposing Resident 69's abdomen and lower extremities. The DSD stated privacy curtain needed to be closed during ADLs to provide privacy. During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 8:36 am with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 69s' privacy curtain needed to be closed during care and ADLs to maintain Resident 69's dignity and privacy by not exposing Resident 69's body parts. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Dignity, revised 2/2021, the P&P indicated, each resident shall be cared for in a manner that promotes and enhances his or her sense of well-being, level of satisfaction with life, and feelings of self-worth and self-esteem. The P&P indicated staff would promote, maintain, and protect resident privacy, including bodily privacy during assistance with personal care and during treatment procedures.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** c. During a review of Resident 34's AR, the AR indicated Resident 34 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included metabolic encephalopathy (disease that affects the function or structure of the brain), Parkinson's disease (disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain that produces symptoms that include muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait) and muscle weakness (decreased strength in muscles). Residents Affected - Some During a review of Resident 34's History & Physical (H&P) dated 10/27/2024, the H&P indicated Resident 34 had the capacity to make decisions for activities of daily living (ADLs- basic self-care tasks). During a review of Resident 34's Fall Risk CP revised 1/29/2025, the CP indicated to place Resident 34's call light within easy reach. During a review of Resident 34's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 34 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and process thoughts), and required substantial/maximal assistance with sit to stand, toileting, shower and bathing, personal hygiene and walking 10 feet. During a review of Resident 34's FRA dated 3/3/2025, the FRA indicated Resident 34 was assessed as high fall risk. During an observation on 4/15/2025 at 10:50 a.m. in Resident 34's room, Resident 34's call light was on the floor and not within Resident 34's reach. During an observation and interview on 4/15/2025 at 11:00 a.m. with the Director of Rehabilitation (DOR), the DOR stated the DOR observed Resident 34's call light on the floor. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/15/2025 at 11:27 a.m., with Certified Nurse Assistant 2 (CNA 2), CNA 2 stated the call light should not be on the floor because the floor was dirty and for infection control. During an interview on 4/18/2025 at 10:53 a.m. with the facility's DON, the DON stated it was the facility's policy to keep the residents' call light within easy reach. The DON stated the importance of the call light being within easy reach was for the resident to access right away when the resident needed assistance and to prevent falls for residents who were assessed as high risk for fall. During an interview on 4/19/2025 at 10:34 a.m. with LVN 11, LVN 11 stated interventions for fall risk residents included low bed, frequent checks, call light within reach and floor mat. LVN 11 stated it was important that the resident's call light was within reach for access and to call for assistance and for the residents not to get up unsupervised. During a review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Safety and Supervision of Residents, revised July 2017, the P&P indicated the facility strives to make the environment as free from accident hazards as possible. Resident safety and supervision and assistance to prevent accidents are facility-wide priorities. During a review of the facility's P&P titled, Call System, Residents, dated 9/2022, the P&P (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 055449 If continuation sheet Page 3 of 31 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 055449 B.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some indicated, Each resident is provided with a means to call staff directly for assistance from his/her bed. From toileting/bathing facilities and from the floor. If the resident has a disability that prevents him/her from making use of the call system, an alternative means of communication that is usable for the resident is provided and documented in the care plan. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the pad sensor/call lights were within reach for three of three sampled residents (Residents 9, 14, and 34). These failures had the potential for the residents not to receive or receive delayed care that could result in a fall or accident. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 9's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bone due to lack of calcium and vitamin D) and traumatic fracture (a bone break caused by a sudden, strong force, like a fall or car accident). During a review of Resident 9's untitled Care Plan (CP) dated 6/14/2024, the CP indicated Resident 9 was at risk for falls/injury related to impaired mobility, use of psychotropic medications and unsteady gait. The CP interventions included staff to keep the resident's call light within easy reach and to encourage the resident to use it to get assistance. During a review of Resident 9's Fall Risk Assessment (FRA) dated 3/18/2025, the FRA indicated Resident 9 was assessed as high risk for fall. During a review of Resident 9's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 3/19/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 9 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and process information). The MDS indicated Resident 9 was dependent (helper did all the effort, resident did none of the effort to complete the activity) with eating, oral hygiene, toileting, shower, upper and lower body dressing and personal hygiene. During a concurrent observation inside Resident 9's room and interview on 4/15/2025 at 10:40 am with Certified Nurse Assistant 1 (CNA 1), Resident 9 was lying in bed, on her back with pad sensor hanging on the left siderail of the bed. CNA 1 stated Resident 9 could not reach and pull the pad sensor. CNA 1 stated Resident 9 was stronger on her right side. CNA 1 stated the pad sensor should be placed next to the strong arm and hand of Resident 9 where she could reach it and call when help was needed. b. During a review of Resident 14's AR, the AR indicated Resident 14 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), muscle weakness (decreased strength in the muscles) and hemiparesis (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body that can affect the arms, legs, and facial muscles) affecting the left dominant side. During a review of Resident 14's untitled CP dated 9/14/2022, the CP indicated Resident 14 was at risk for falls/injury related to difficulty walking, generalized weakness and poor body balance control. The CP interventions included placing the call light within easy reach.

F 0636 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete a discharge assessment Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standard resident assessment and care screening tool) per Center of Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS- a federal agency that provides health coverage and focuses on improving the quality and outcome within the healthcare system) requirement for one of one sampled resident (Resident 82). This failure had the potential for inaccurate reporting to CMS and for Resident 82 not to receive necessary care and services. Findings: During a review of Resident 82's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 82 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including difficulty in walking and hypertension (high blood pressure). During a review of Resident 82's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 12/11/2024, the MDS indicated Resident 89 had clear speech, had the ability to understand others and make self-understood. Resident 82 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort, helper lifts, holds, or supports trunk or limbs, but provides less than half the effort) for personal hygiene, lower body dressing, and rolling left and right. During a review of Resident 82's Discharge Summary Report (DSR) dated 2/1/2025, the DSR indicated Resident 82 was discharged on 2/1/2025. During an interview on 4/16/2025 at 2:40 pm, with the MDS Coordinator (MDS C), the MDS C stated Resident 82 was admitted on [DATE] and discharged home on 2/1/2025. The MDS C stated the MDS C forgot to complete a discharge MDS for Resident 82 and it was due 2/15/2025. The MDS C stated once the resident was discharged home, the facility had seven to 14 days to complete a discharge assessment and transmit to CMS. The MDS C stated it was important to update CMS regarding Resident 82's health condition and whereabout at the time Resident 82 was discharged from the facility and ensure correct billing. During a review of the facility provided document titled Submission And Correction of the MDS Assessments, dated 10/2024, the document indicated Completion time frame: for all non-admission OBRA (regulations that have defined a schedule of assessments that will be performed for a nursing facility resident at admission, quarterly, and annually, whenever the resident experiences a significant change in status, and whenever the facility identifies a significant error in a prior assessment) and PPS (Prospective Payment System), MDS completion date must be no later than 14 days after the Assessment Reference Date.

F 0641 Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of three sampled residents' (Resident 16 and 23's) swallowing/nutritional status was accurately assessed and coded in Resident 16 and 23's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a resident assessment tool). Residents Affected - Some This deficient practice resulted in inaccurate reporting to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, a federal agency that administers major healthcare programs in the United States) and had the potential for Residents 16 and 23 to not receive interventions to address specific care concerns. Findings: a. During a review of Resident 23's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 23 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included Alzheimer's disease (a disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental abilities) and convulsions (rapid, involuntary muscle contractions that cause uncontrollable shaking and limb movement). During a review of Resident 23's MDS, dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 23 had severely impaired cognition (ability to think, learn, and remember) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 23 required partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with eating, oral hygiene, and personal hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident 23 required substantial/maximal assistance with toileting hygiene, showering/bathing self, and upper and lower body dressing. The MDS indicated Resident 23 had a weight loss of five (5) percent (%) or more in the last month or 10% or more in last six (6) months of the assessment. The MDS indicated Resident 23 had no weight gain of 5% or more in the last month or gain weight of 10% or more in last 6 months of the assessment. During a review of Resident 23's Weights and Vitals Summary (WVS) from 1/1/2024 to 4/30/2025, the WVS indicated Resident 23 had a weight gain of eight (8) pounds (lbs.- unit of weight) from 79 lbs. on 8/5/2024 to 87 lbs. on 2/5/2025 (period of six month). The WVS indicated Resident 23 had a weight gain of seven (7) lbs. from 80 lbs. on 1/6/2025 to 87 lbs. on 2/5/2025 (period of one month). During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/16/2025 at 8:58 am with the MDS Nurse (MDSN), Resident 23's MDS dated [DATE] was reviewed. The MDSN stated Resident 23's MDS needed to be coded with no weight loss and with weight gain. The MDSN stated Resident 23 had a weight gain of 7 lbs. in a month from 1/6/2025 to 2/5/2025 with a significant weight gain of 7.5%. The MDSN stated Resident 23's MDS assessment needed to be coded accurately to give accurate information to CMS. During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Certifying Accuracy of the Resident Assessment, dated 11/2019, the P&P indicated any person completing a portion of the MDS must sign and certify the accuracy of that portion of the assessment. The P&P indicated the information captured on the assessment reflects the status of the resident during the observation (look-back) period for that assessment. b. During a review of Resident 16's AR, the AR indicated Resident 16 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and respiratory failure (lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen).

F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop an individualized and comprehensive communication plan of care for one of one sampled resident (Resident 50) with language barrier. This failure resulted in Resident 50 not receiving individualized care and did not maintain the resident's highest physical and mental well-being. Findings: During a review of Resident 50's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 50 was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included chronic kidney disease (longstanding disease of the kidneys), Type 2 diabetes mellitus (body has trouble controlling and using blood sugar) and essential hypertension (high blood pressure with no known underlying cause). During a review of Resident 50's History & Physical (H&P) dated 2/24/25, the H&P indicated Resident 50 did not have the capacity to make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 50's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a resident assessment tool) dated 2/27/25, the MDS indicated Resident 50 had severely impaired cognition (ability to understand and process thoughts) and the resident's preferred language was Tagalog (language primarily spoken in the Philippines). The MDS indicated Resident 50 required substantial/maximal assistance with sit to stand and shower/bathing self. During a review of Resident 50's medical record, there was no Care Plan (CP) developed to address Resident 50's language needs. During an observation in Resident 50's room on 4/15/25 at 11:30 a.m., there was no communication board available at Resident 50's bedside. During an interview on 4/19/25 at 12:06 p.m. with the facility's Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated Resident 50 speaks Tagalog only. During an interview on 4/19/25 at 3:23 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant 2 (CNA 2), CNA 2 stated Resident 50 previously had a communication board with pictures at Resident 50's bedside but CNA 2 hasn't seen the communication board in a while. CNA 2 stated CNA 2 was unsure when and if the communication board was replaced. CNA 2 stated Resident 50 does not understand English, and it would be easier to communicate with Resident 50 with pictures.

F 0760 Ensure that residents are free from significant medication errors. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of three sampled residents (Residents 35 and 89) were not administered Epoetin Alfa-epbx (Epogen, a medication to treat anemia [a condition when the blood does not have enough red blood cells or reduced amount of hemoglobin [Hgb, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body]) injections as indicated in Residents 35 and 89's physicians orders (PO) to hold Epogen injections when Residents 35 and 89's Hgb level was > (more than) 10 grams per deciliter (g/dl, unit of measurement for Hgb). Residents Affected - Some As a result, Resident 35 received 19 unnecessary (extra/not needed) doses of Epogen injections from [DATE] to [DATE] ([DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE]) when Resident 35's Hgb level was at 11.5 g/dl. Resident 89 received three unnecessary doses of Epogen injections from [DATE] to [DATE] ([DATE], [DATE] and [DATE]) when Resident 89's Hgb levels were at 12.3 g/dl and 12.9 g/dl. These deficient practices placed Residents 35 and 89 at risk to experience adverse side effects (unintended effects that occur when a medication was administered incorrectly) such as polycythemia (a medical condition where there is an abnormally high number of red blood cells in the blood) and hypercoagulability (increased tendency to form blood clot), stroke (a medical condition where blood flow to part of the brain is disrupted, causing brain damage), and heart attack (a serious medical emergency where a section of the heart muscle is damaged or dies due to a lack of blood flow) from receiving excessive doses (toxic amount/ when taking more than the recommended amount) of Epogen injections, and had the potential to result in serious harm, injury or death from these significant medication errors (any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm). On [DATE] at 12:43 pm, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH, the Department) called an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ, a situation in which the facility's noncompliance with one or more requirements of participation has caused or is likely to cause serious injury, impairment, or death to a resident) situation, in the presence of the Administrator (ADM), the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON). The ADM, DON, and ADON were informed of the facility's failure to have a system in place to ensure Residents 35 and 89 were not administered Epogen injections as ordered by Resident 35 and 89's Primary Care Physicians (PCP 1 and PCP 2). The ADM, DON, and ADON were aware that the deficient practices resulted in potential serious harm that threatened the health and safety of Residents 35 and 89, from receiving excessive doses of Epogen injections (significant medication errors). On [DATE] at 3:30 pm, the facility provided an acceptable IJ Removal Plan (IJRP, interventions to correct the deficient practice). While onsite at the facility, the survey team verified/confirmed implementation of the IJRP through observation, interview and record review, and determined the IJ situation regarding significant medication errors was no longer present.

F 0842 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or maintain medical records on each resident that are in accordance with accepted professional standards. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure complete and accurate documentation for one of one sampled resident (Resident 37) on a Low Air loss Mattress (LAL- a medical mattress designed to prevent and treat pressure wounds) when Resident 37's use and monitoring of LAL was not documented in Resident 37's Treatment Administration Record (TAR). This failure resulted in Resident 37's medical record to contain incomplete information and had the potential to affect Resident 37's care. Findings: During a review of Resident 37's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated Resident 37 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD - a slow progressive narrowing of the blood flow to the arms and legs). During a review of Resident 37's Physician Order (PO), dated 1/8/2025, the PO indicated Resident 37 had an order for LAL for wound care and management every shift. During a review of Resident 37's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 37 had moderately impaired cognition (mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding) for daily decision making. The MDS indicated Resident 37 was dependent (helper does all of the effort) on staff for eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, showering/bathing self, upper and lower body dressing, putting on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene. During a review of Resident 37's Treatment Administration Record (TAR) for the month of January 2025, the TAR indicated the LAL for wound care and management was not documented/checked/signed off as performed on the following dates and shifts: 1. 1/15/2025 for 11 pm to 7 am shift. 2. 1/20/2025 for 11 pm to 7 am shift. 3. 1/21/2025 for 3 pm to 11 pm and 11 pm to 7 am shift. 4. 1/24/2025 for 3 pm to 11 pm shift. 5. 1/26/2025 for 11 pm to 7 am shift. 6. 1/27/2025 for 11 pm to 7 am shift. During an observation on 4/15/2025 at 10:39 am, Resident 37 was asleep lying in a LAL. During a concurrent interview and record review on 4/17/2025 at 11:07 am with Treatment Nurse (TN) 1, Resident 37's electronic medical record was reviewed.

TN 1 stated TN 1 did not know why Resident 37's TAR was not checked/signed off by the licensed nurses. TN 1 stated licensed nurses needed to monitor the LAL setting every shift and document it in the TAR. During an interview on 4/17/2025 at 12:14 pm with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated resident's (in general) TAR needed to be checked off and licensed staff needed to sign the TAR immediately after performing a treatment to the resident as per physician's order. The DON stated the LAL needed to be monitored if it was working and in the correct setting. The DON stated Resident 37 had a wound and the wound might get worse if the LAL was not monitored every shift.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** b. During a review of Resident 1's AR, the AR indicated the facility readmitted the resident on 12/19/24 with diagnoses that included acute respiratory failure (lungs cannot properly exchange gases), schizoaffective disorder (mental illness) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD- lung diseases that block airflow). Residents Affected - Some During a review of Resident 1's History & Physical (H&P) dated 7/26/24, the H&P indicated Resident 1 had the capacity to make medical decisions. During a review of Resident 1's MDS dated [DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 1 was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated Resident 1 was on oxygen therapy. During an observation on 4/19/25 at 11:15 a.m., Resident 1's oxygen tubing was on the floor. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/19/25 at 11:17 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 9 (LVN 9), LVN 9 stated Resident 1's oxygen tubing was not supposed to be on the floor. LVN 9 stated it was important to keep the oxygen tubing off the floor for infection control. During an interview on 4/19/25 at 4:00 p.m., with the DON, the DON stated it was important that oxygen tubing was not on the floor to deliver oxygen adequately to the resident and for infection control. During an interview on 4/19/25 at 4:07 p.m., with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated it was important to keep the oxygen tubing off the floor to prevent infection. IP stated oxygen tubing on the floor was a hazard for tripping over causing trauma to the resident/staff. During a review of the facility's undated Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Administration, the P&P indicated oxygen tubing should be used in a manner that prevents it from touching the floor. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide safe and sanitary environment to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases for three of five sampled residents (Residents 5, 24, and 1) by failing to: a. Ensure staff implemented the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP, precautions that include the use of a gown and gloves during high contact resident care activities for residents), to prevent the spread of infections for Residents 5 and 24. b. Ensure Resident 1's oxygen tubing was not on the floor. These failures had the potential to result in transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO, bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics (medicine used to stop or kill the growth of bacteria) to other residents in the facility.
