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 have an appropriate call light (an alerting
device for nurses or other nursing personnel to assist a resident in need) according to the resident's
condition and to have the call light within reach for 1 of 20 sampled residents (Resident 5).
Residents Affected - Few
This deficient practice had the potential to delay in the necessary care and services for Resident 5.
Findings:
A review of Resident 5's admission Record indicated resident was admitted on [DATE] with the following
diagnoses of muscle weakness and osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease, in which the tissues in the
joint break down over time).
A review of Resident 5's History and Physical (H&P), dated 12/11/2022, indicated Resident 40 does not
have the capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 5's Care Plan with focus on potential for injury, revised 12/20/2022, indicated to keep
call light within reach.
A review of Resident 5's Care Plan with focus on risk for falls, revised 1/2/2024, indicated to make sure the
call light is within reach and encourage the resident to use it as needed.
A review of Resident 5's Occupational Therapy (OT) Evaluation & Plan of Treatment form, dated 3/10/2024,
indicated resident's right upper extremity was impaired (resident's arm and wrist are contracted and unable
to use hands) and residents left upper extremity was impaired.
A review of Resident 5's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care screening and assessment tool),
dated 6/10/2024, indicated resident is severely impaired in cognitive (the functions your brain uses to think,
pay attention, process information, and remember things) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also
indicated resident is dependent (helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete
the activity. Or the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with
eating, oral hygiene, toileting hygiene, shower/bathe self, upper body dressing, lower body dressing, putting
on/taking off footwear, and personal hygiene.
During a concurrent observation and interview in Resident 5's room at 6/25/2024 at 2:06 PM, Resident 5
was observed with both arms contracted (a permanent tightening of the muscles, tendons, skin and nearby
tissues that causes the joints to shorten and become very stiff) and both legs contracted.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to maintain a current copy of the resident's advanced directive
(a legal document that provide instructions for medical care and only go into effect if the resident cannot
communicate his/her wishes) in the resident's medical record for one (1) of 1 sampled resident (Resident
46).
This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 46 to not have her wishes met regarding life-sustaining
treatment (any treatment that serves to prolong life without reversing the underlying medical condition).
Findings:
A review of Resident 46's admission Record indicated resident was originally admitted to the facility on
[DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with the following diagnoses of malignant neoplasm (also known as
cancer; a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue) of left lower limb
and immunodeficiency (immune systems ability to fight infectious diseases and cancer is compromised or
entirely absent).
A review of Resident 46's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/8/2024, indicated resident had the capacity
to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 46's Minimum Data Set (MDS; a standardized care screening and assessment tool),
dated 5/17/2024, indicated resident was moderately impaired in cognitive (the functions your brain uses to
think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) skills for daily decision making. MDS also
indicated resident required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does more than half the effort. Helper
lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with toileting hygiene and shower/bathe
self. Resident was dependent (helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the
activity. Or, the assistance of 2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with
lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear.
During a record review of Resident 46's medical record on 6/25/2024 at 9 AM, there was no advance
directive placed in Resident 46's chart.
During an interview and record review of Resident 46's chart on 6/26/2024 12:05 PM, DON stated the
facility did not have Resident 46's advance directive.
During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 4:20 PM, DON stated Resident 46's advance directive should have
been followed up a few days after admission in cases of a medical emergency. DON stated the facility
would not know what medical treatment to provide regarding healthcare decisions to the resident if a copy
of advanced directive was not placed in the Resident 46's current medical record.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 9:05 AM, Social Services (SS) stated the facility should have the
advance directive placed into the resident's chart in case of a medical emergency, so that facility staff were
aware on what medical treatments to provide to the resident according to the residents wishes.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a comprehensive person-centered care
plan was initiated for one (1) of 20 sampled residents (Resident 26).
This deficient practice resulted in the delayed care and services for Resident 26's pressure injury (injury to
skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin).
Findings:
A review of Resident 26's admission Record indicated resident was a admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
the diagnoses of muscle weakness and osteoporosis (a bone disease that develops when bone mineral
density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bones changes)
A review of Resident 26's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/13/2023, indicated resident had the capacity
to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care screening and assessment tool),
dated 6/8/2024, indicated resident was severely impaired in cognitive (the functions your brain uses to
think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) skills for daily decision making. MDS also
indicated resident 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) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene,
lower body dressing and personal hygiene. Resident required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does
more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with
shower/bath self and putting on/taking off footwear.
A review of Resident 26's Braden Scale, dated 3/8/2024, indicated resident was at risk of developing
pressure injuries.
During an interview on 6/25/2024 at 9:28 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant 3 (CNA 3) stated she observed
Resident 26's pressure injury on the sacrum area during the week of 6/17/2024-6/21/2024.
During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 10:08 AM, Treatment Nurse 1 (TN 1) stated Resident 46 initially had an
identified skin wound that started as a Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD; inflammation or skin
erosion caused by prolonged exposure to a source of moisture such as urine stool, sweat, wound drainage,
saliva, or mucus) wound. TN1 stated, currently, Resident 46's wound was now classified as a stage 2 (the
skin breaks open; it can look like an abrasion, blister, or a shallow crater of the skin) pressure injury. TN 1
also stated the pressure injury started since 6/21/2024, but there were no orders for treatment of Resident
26's pressure injury.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 11:01 AM, DON stated the facility did not have care plan indicating
Resident 26's pressure injury which progressed to a stage 2 pressure injury.

During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 5's Care Plan with focus of limited physical
mobility with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on 6/27/2024 at 12:32 PM, the ADON stated
Resident 5's care plan should be revised since the resident was no longer in the Restorative Nursing
Assistant (RNA, assists residents with exercise to improve or maintain mobility and independence in the
resident) program, and Resident 5's plan of care changed since Resident 5's mobility declined. The ADON
also stated care plans need to be revised for the continuity of care of the resident and to monitor if changes
were needed if the resident was improving or worsening.
During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 5's OT, dated 8/30/2023 and 3/11/2024, and

Report indicated an order made on 4/5/2024 for Resident 643 to have, 1:1 feeding assistance with all
meals. ADON stated that the resident does have an order for 1:1 feeding assistance with all meals and that
the Director of Staff Development (DSD) is the one who coordinates the feeding assistance program and
has a list of residents who need feeding assistance.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 6/26/2024 at 4:15 PM with ADON, the list of residents
who need 1:1 feeding assistance dated 6/26/2024 was reviewed. The list did not include Resident 643.
ADON stated, she did not know why the resident was missed and did not make it onto the list.
During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 4:20 PM with ADON, ADON stated Resident 643 was missed and not
included in the list of residents who need feeding assistance.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 12:27 PM with ADON, ADON stated when a resident with an order for
1:1 feeding assistance was not assisted, it placed the resident at risk for weight loss and aspiration since
the resident is not getting the proper nutrition and calories that they would from the tray and are also at risk
for dehydration and weakness.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 4:34 PM with Speech Therapist 1 (ST 1) and Director of Rehab (DOR),
ST 1 stated Resident 643 needed 1:1 support for feeding to help with increasing the resident's food intake
and for resident's safety such as making sure the resident is wearing her dentures, chewing slowly, and is
positioned upright during mealtime. ST 1 also stated that Resident 643's cognition is a little impaired and
that there are days where she is okay and days when she needs more support. DOR further stated that
Resident 643 does not really eat but does a lot better when the resident is assisted with feeding.

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to ensure one (1) of two (2) sampled residents
(Resident 26) was given appropriate treatment for a Stage 2 (the skin breaks open; it can look like an
abrasion, blister, or a shallow crater of the skin) Pressure injury (injury to skin and underlying tissue
resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin).
This deficient practice resulted in Resident 26's pressure injury progressing from a Moisture-Associated
Skin Damage (MASD, inflammation or skin erosion caused by prolonged exposure to a source of moisture
such as urine stool, sweat, wound drainage, saliva, or mucus) wound, to a stage 2 pressure injury.
Findings:
A review of Resident 26's admission Record indicated the resident was a admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with the diagnoses of muscle weakness and osteoporosis (a bone disease that develops when bone
mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the structure and strength of bones changes)
A review of Resident 26's History and Physical (H&P), dated 6/13/2023, indicated resident had the capacity
to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 26's Minimum Data Set (MDS, a standardized care screening and assessment tool),
dated 6/8/2024, indicated resident was severely impaired in cognitive (the functions your brain uses to
think, pay attention, process information, and remember things) skills for daily decision making. MDS also
indicated resident 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) with oral hygiene, toileting hygiene,
lower body dressing and personal hygiene. Resident required substantial/maximal assistance (helper does
more than half the effort. Helper lifts or holds trunk or limbs and provides more than half the effort) with
shower/bathe self and putting on/taking off footwear.
A review of Resident 26's Braden Scale (tool used to indicate risk for developing pressure injuries), dated
3/8/2024, indicated resident was at risk of developing pressure injuries.

pressure injuries.
During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 10:08 AM, Treatment Nurse 1 (TN 1) stated Resident 26 initially had
MASD on the sacrum area which has now developed into a stage 2 pressure injury since 6/21/2024. TN 1
stated the doctor was not notified of Resident 26's pressure injury, therefore there was no wound treatment
orders to care for Resident 26's stage 2 pressure injury. TN 1 also stated there was no Change of Condition

During an interview on 6/26/2024 at 10 AM with Resident 82, Resident 82 stated that he is incontinent
(unable to restrain natural discharges or evacuations of urine or feces) and needs help with changing since
he is unable to get up out of bed and walk or get out of bed on his own.
A review of Resident 82's B&B Program Screener, dated 5/29/2024 and 6/18/2024, indicated the B&B
Program Screener dated 5/29/2024 indicated a score of seven (7) which indicated that the resident was a
candidate for scheduled toileting and the B&B Program Screener Dated 6/18/2024 indicated a score of 14
which indicated the resident was a candidate for scheduled toileting.
During a concurrent review of Resident 82's electronic medical record (EMR, an electronic version of a
patient's medical history), dated 5/29/2024 to 6/27/2024 and interview with the ADON on 6/27/2024 at
11:59 AM, ADON stated there was no care plan for the resident being on a scheduled toileting program.
ADON stated that there was no care plan implemented for resident to be on a scheduled toileting program.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 11:59 AM with ADON, ADON stated that a toileting schedule is when
the licensed nurse assesses what times to schedule to either take or assist a resident to the restroom, offer
bedside commode (portable toilet) or bed pan (a receptacle used by a bedridden resident as a toilet).
ADON also stated that although Resident 82 has a Foley catheter (brand name for urinary indwelling
catheter which is a flexible tube inserted into the bladder that remains there to provide continuous urinary
drainage), the resident could still be on scheduled toileting program for bowel movement but currently is not
on one. ADON further stated that if Resident 82 was assessed to be a candidate, then the resident should
be on a scheduled toileting program since it helps residents improve incontinence status, practice
independence, and promote dignity.
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled, Bowel and Bladder Training/Toileting Program,
revised 8/21/2020, indicated its purpose was to provide for residents who are incontinent of bowel and/or
bladder appropriate treatment and services to minimize urinary tract infections (UTI, an infection in any part
of the urinary system) and to restore as much bowel and/or bladder function as possible to prevent skin
breakdown and irrigation, improve resident morale and restore resident dignity and self-respect. The P&P
also indicated, Interventions identified by the licensed nurses and/or the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, team
members from different disciplines working collaboratively, with a common purpose to set goals, make
decisions and share resources and responsibilities) will be care planned and communicated to the
corresponding professional and to the facility staff for implementation. It also indicated each resident who is
incontinent of bowel and/or bladder is identified, assessed and provided appropriate treatment and services
to achieve or maintain as much normal bladder and/ or bowel functions as possible. The policy also
indicated scheduled toileting program is appropriate for residents who are caregiver dependent, cognitively
impaired and cannot gain control of their bowel and bladder function.
A review of the facility's P&P titled Resident Rights - Quality of life, dated 3/2017, indicated facility staff
treats cognitively impaired residents with dignity and sensitivity.

Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed.
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 provide the necessary respiratory care
services for four (4) of 4 sampled residents (Resident 2, 49, 63, and 641) in accordance with the facility's
policy and procedure.
Residents Affected - Some
1. For Resident 2, the facility failed to ensure the oxygen via nasal cannula (a medical device used to
provide supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen levels) was administered according
to physician's order. This deficient practice had the potential for Resident 2 not being able to receive the
benefits of the supplemental oxygen ordered if the oxygen tubing is not in an optimal working condition.
2. For Resident 2 and 49, the facility failed to ensure the nasal cannula was placed in a clean plastic bag
when not in use. This deficient practice had the potential for the residents to develop a respiratory infection.
3. Resident 641's oxygen nasal cannula (NC; a device that delivers extra oxygen through a tube and into
your nose) and water container for humidified oxygen (warmed and moistened oxygen) was not labeled
with date of first use (opened) or changed.
4. Resident 63 who had an order for suctioning (clearing the airway of a patient) as needed had no suction
canister (temporary storage container for secretions or fluids removed from the body) and yaunker (an oral
suctioning tool used in medical procedures and is typically a firm plastic suction tip with a large opening
surrounded by a bulbous [round] head and is designed to allow effective suction without damaging the
surrounding tissue) readily available at his bedside and the resident's nebulizer (a machine that turns liquid
medication into a mist that can be breathed directly into the lungs) treatment NC was found on the floor.
Findings:
1. A review of Resident 2's admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted on [DATE] and readmitted
on [DATE] with congestive heart failure (CHF, a serious condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as
efficiently as it should).
A review of Resident 2's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/5/2024, indicated Resident 2 was able to
make decisions for herself.
A review of Resident 2's Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 5/6/2024, indicated Resident 2 had moderate cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 2 required
substantial assistance (helper does more than half the effort) with toileting, shower, lower body dressing,
and putting on/taking off footwear. The MDS further indicated Resident 2 required partial/moderate
assistance (helper does less than half the effort) with upper body dressing and required supervision (helper
provides verbal cues) with eating and oral hygiene.
A review of the Physician's Order, dated 5/14/2024, timed at 1:02 PM indicated to administer oxygen at 2
L/minute (Liter per minute - unit of flow rate) via nasal cannula (a medical device used to provide
supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen levels) continuous for shortness

A review of Resident 63's Order Summary Report dated 6/28/2024, indicated on 5/25/2023 it was ordered
that the resident may suction excessive secretions (fluid produced by the glands that line the nose, mouth,
throat and windpipe) as needed. It also indicated an order for the resident to have Ipratropium-Albuterol
Solution (a medication used to help control the symptoms of lung diseases] 0.2-2.5 (3) milligrams (mg; a
unit of measurement) per 3 milliliters (ml; a unit of measurement) via inhalation orally every 4 hours as
needed for wheezing.
Residents Affected - Some
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/25/2024 at 8:37 AM with Licensed Vocational Nurse 4
(LVN 4) in Resident 63's room, a suction machine was observed on Resident 63's nightstand with no
canister or yaunker set up or attached. LVN 4 stated that there is no yaunker or suction canister set up at
the resident's bedside and that there should be always one available in case the resident needs their
respiratory secretions suctioned.
During a concurrent observation and interview on 6/27/2024 at 10:36 AM with CNA 4 inside Resident 63's
room, Resident 63's nebulizer NC tubing was observed partly in the bag with the main body of the tubing
on the floor. CNA 4 stated that the resident's nebulizer NC tubing is touching the floor.

infection control purposes.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 2:33 PM with Infection Preventionist (IP), IP stated that all oxygen
tubing and water containers for humidified oxygen should be labeled with the date it was changed or first
use for infection control and so that staff know when the tubing was last changed. IP also stated that all NC
tubing either for use with oxygen or nebulizer treatment should be stored in a bag when not in use and
should not be touching the floor due to infection control and further stated that when a resident is ordered
for suction as needed, it is important that a full set up with the suction machine, canister and yaunker
always be present at the bedside and has been set up because it puts the resident at risk for aspiration if it
is not readily available.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 4:23 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that there
is no policy for suctioning or for the storage of oxygen and nebulizer tubing to be off the floor and not
touching the floor. The DON further stated that it is important that there is a policy to address these
subjects so that all staff know how to perform those respiratory interventions properly.
A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Oxygen Therapy, revised November 2017, the
P&P indicated:
*The humidifier and tubing should be changed no more than every 7 days and labeled with the date of the
change.
*Humidifier equipment will be maintained and/or changed per manufacturer's guidelines or no more than
every 7 days. They will be dated each time they are changed.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one (1) of 5 (five) sampled residents
(Resident 54) had sufficient supply of gabapentin (nerve pain medication) to administer in accordance with
the physician's order and facility's policy and procedure.
These deficient practices resulted to a delay in the administration of the medication and had the potential to
create medication - related adverse consequences such as unrelieved nerve pains to Resident 54.
Findings:
A review of Resident 54's admission Record indicated Resident 54 was admitted on [DATE] with type 2
diabetes mellitus (a chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar by either the
body does not produce enough insulin, or it resists insulin) with diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused
by diabetes which can affect nerves that supply feeling and movement in the arms and legs).
A review of the Physician's Order, dated 11/14/2022, timed at 3:57 PM indicated to administer gabapentin
capsule 100 milligram (mg, a unit of measurement) by mouth two (2) times a day for neuropathy.
A review of Resident 54's History and Physical (H&P), dated 11/14/2023, indicated Resident 54 had the
capacity to understand and make decisions.
A review of Resident 54's Minimum Data Set (MDS, standardized assessment and care screening tool),
dated 5/15/2024, indicated Resident 54 had intact cognitive (mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding) skills for daily decision making. The MDS also indicated Resident 54
required supervision (helper provides verbal cues) with shower, lower body dressing, putting on/taking off

cleans up) with toileting hygiene and upper body dressing.
During a medication pass observation on 6/27/2024 at 9:21 AM, the Licensed Vocational Nurse 4 (LVN 4)
stated Resident 54 did not have any supply of gabapentin 100 mg in the medication cart to administer to
the resident.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 11:56 AM, LVN 4 stated when the medication is between six (6) to
seven (7) left in stock, the licensed nurse should have called the pharmacy to order refill. LVN 4 also stated
the nurse in charge of passing the medications for Resident 54 needed to be more attentive to how much
gabapentin was left on the resident's stock otherwise there is a possibility for the resident to experience
nerve pains due to not receiving the medication as scheduled. LVN 4 further stated Resident 54 missed his
morning dose today (6/27/2024) of gabapentin because the staff in charge on previous days failed to order
the refill.
During an interview on 6/27/2024 at 1:37 PM, LVN 1 stated the licensed nurse in charge of Resident 54
was supposed to notify the pharmacy and the resident's physician when there's no available medications to
give to the resident. LVN 1 also stated when there's only four (4) to 5 left on Resident

used to control blood sugar in patients with diabetes).
2. Refrigerate Residents 59's unused Basaglar Kwik Pen (is a long-acting insulin that helps lower high
blood sugar levels).
This deficient practice increased the risk for Residents 48 and 59 to receive insulin that had become
ineffective or toxic due to improper storage possibly leading to health complications, which may result to
harm and hospitalization.
Findings:
1. During a concurrent observation of Medication Cart 3 in Station 2 and interview with Licensed Vocational
Nurse (LVN 4) on 6/28/2024 at 2:35 PM, Residents 48's Novolin R Flex Pen was observed in Medication
Cart 3. LVN 4 stated a green sticker on Residents 48's Novolin R Flex Pen indicated the medication needs
to be refrigerated. LVN 4 also stated Residents 48's unused Novolin R Flex Pen was not and was supposed
to be in the refrigerator.

A review of Resident 40's Minimum Data Set (MDS; a standardized screening and assessment tool), dated
6/12/2024, indicated resident was severely impaired in cognitive (the functions your brain uses to think, pay
attention, process information, and remember things) skills for daily decision making. MDS also indicated
Resident 40 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) with eating, oral hygiene, upper body
dressing, lower body dressing and putting on/taking off footwear. MDS indicated resident was dependent
(helper does all of the effort. Resident does none of the effort to complete the activity. Or, the assistance of
2 or more helpers is required for the resident to complete the activity) with toileting hygiene and
shower/bathe self. MDS indicated Resident 40 was occasionally incontinent with urine and always continent
with bowel movement.
During an observation in Resident 40's room on 6/27/2024 at 9:44 AM, Resident 40's brief (diaper) change
was observed. Certified Nursing Assistant 5 (CNA 5) was observed providing perineal care (washing the
genital and rectal areas of the body). CNA 5's gloves were observed wet. CNA 5 than proceeded touching
Resident 40's call light, blanket, bed rail, and bed remote with gloved hands after performing a brief change
for Resident 40. CNA5 did not change gloves prior to touching Resident 40's items and/or devices.

providing a brief change to Resident 40, and prior to touching Resident 40's items/devices. CNA 5 stated
since the gloves were contaminated, Resident 40's call light, blanket, bed rail, and bed remote were also
contaminated, which could increase the spread of infection.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 11:30 AM, the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) stated after CNA 5
provided a brief change to Resident 40, CNA5 should have removed his gloves and provided hand hygiene
prior to touching Resident 40's call light, blanket, bed rail, and bed remote. The IPN stated since CNA 5
continued to touch Resident 40's items/devices with contaminated gloves, the spread of infection to staff
and other residents was increased.
A review of the facility's Policy and Procedure (P&P) titled Personal Protective Equipment, revised 1/1/2012,
indicated gloves are used only once and are discarded into the appropriate receptable in the room in which
the procedure is being performed. Policy also indicated hands are washed before and after the removing of
gloves. Policy stated the procedure is to provide appropriate protective clothing and equipment.
A review of Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, national public health agency in the United
States) undated Glove Removal Job Aid, indicated remove contaminated gloves, dispose contaminated
gloves, and wash hands immediately or as soon as possible after the removal of gloves.

During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 8:29 AM with Infection Preventionist (IP), IP stated, For the facility's
water management program, we do not test the water for legionella or other waterborne pathogens since
there has been no need since we do not have any cases of any residents having legionnaires' disease.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 9:15 AM with Maintenance Supervisor (MS), MS stated that they do
not test the water for legionella or waterborne pathogens since they have had no issues with anyone at the
facility getting sick.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 10:55 AM with IP and MS, MS stated they have not tested their water
for legionella or waterborne pathogens and do not have any baseline (starting point) testing of the facility's
water. IP stated they would only be prompted to call the Medical Director (MD) to ask about testing the
facility's water only if there was an issue with their water temperatures being out of range. IP further stated
if they had any issues with waterborne pathogens in their water then there would be an increase in
healthcare associated infection (HCAI, infections acquired by residents during their stay in a healthcare
setting) pneumonia.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 2:20 PM with IP, IP stated that she is not aware of any sampling or
testing of the facility's water.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 3:04 PM with Administrator (ADM), ADM stated that they do not test
the facility's water and do not have to unless the facility's hot water temperatures are not within their
parameters. ADM added, We have no residents who tested positive with pneumonia and legionella. This is
what we consider validation of our control measures for our water management program.
During an interview on 6/28/2024 at 3:23 PM with ADM, ADM stated that the facility does not have any
initial or baseline testing of water samples for the facility that indicate the water is negative for legionella or
other waterborne pathogens. ADM stated they also do not currently test their

A review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled, Water Management, revised 5/25/2023, the P&P
indicated:
Residents Affected - Some
Following national, state and local guidelines, the team will identify needed control measures based on the
risk assessment performed, and how to monitor them. Physical and chemical measures recommended by
the American Association of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) that may be
applied for the prevention and control of Legionella include, but are not limited to:
o Quarterly measurement of water quality throughout the system to ensure changes that may lead to
Legionella growth are not occurring.
A review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Center for Clinical Standards and
Quality/Survey and Certification Group letter titled, Requirement to Reduce Legionella Risk in Healthcare
Facility Water Systems to Prevent Cases and Outbreaks of Legionnaires' Disease (LD), dated 6/2/2017,
indicated facilities Implement a water management program that considers the ASHRAE industry standard
and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) toolkit, and includes control measures such as physical
controls, temperature management, disinfectant level control, visual inspections and environmental testing
for pathogens. It also indicated facilities Specify testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control
measures and document the results of testing and corrective actions taken when control limits are not
maintained.
A review of the CDC's toolkit titled, Developing a Water Management Program to Reduce Legionella
Growth & Spread in Buildings, dated 6/24/2021, indicated, Now that you have a water management
program, you need to be sure that it is effective. Your program team should establish procedures to confirm,
both initially and on an ongoing basis that the water management program effectively controls the
hazardous conditions throughout the building water systems. This step is called validation. Environmental
testing for Legionella is useful to validate the effectiveness of control measures. The program team should
determine if environmental testing for Legionella should be performed and, if so, how test results will be
used to validate the program. Factors that might make testing for Legionella more important include Being a
healthcare facility that provides inpatient services to people who are at increased risk for Legionnaires
disease.
A review of ASHRAE Addendum to ASHRAE Standard [PHONE NUMBER] (defines types of buildings and
devices that need a water management program) titled, Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water
Systems, dated 6/23/2018, indicated the Program Team shall establish procedures to confirm, both initially
and on an ongoing basis, that the Program is being implemented as designed. The resulting process is
verification. The Program Team shall establish procedures to confirm, both initially and on an ongoing basis,
that the Program, when implemented as designed, controls the hazardous conditions throughout the
building water systems. The resulting process is validation. The Program Team shall determine whether
testing for Legionella shall be performed and if so, how test results will be used to validate the Program. If
the Program Team determines that testing is to be performed, the testing approach, including sampling
frequency, number of samples, locations, sampling methods, and test methods, shall be specified and
documented. The Program Team shall consider include the following as part of the determination of
whether to test for Legionella:

F 0911
Level of Harm - Potential for
minimal harm
Residents Affected - Some
Ensure resident rooms hold no more than 4 residents; for new construction after November 28, 2016,
rooms hold no more than 2 residents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one (1) of 47 rooms (map diagram
labeled rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], separated by a wall in the middle with two [2] beds on 1 side and three
[3] beds on the other side with only 1 door for entry and exit) did not have more than four (4) residents in
one shared room.
This deficient practice had the potential to cause the residents in these rooms not to have enough privacy
and also had the potential to affect residents' delivery of care.
Findings:
During an observation on 6/25/2024 at 9:10 AM, rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] was observed separated by a
wall in the middle, with 2 beds on 1 side and 3 beds on the other side with only 1 door for entry and exit, did
not meet the requirement to have no more than four residents to a room. The residents in these rooms were
able to ambulate freely and/or maneuver in their walker freely. The Nursing staff had enough space to
provide care to these residents with dignity and privacy. There was space for beds, side tables, dressers,
and other medical equipment.
A review of the facility's room waiver request, dated 6/25/2024, indicated there was enough space for each
resident in the room, nursing and the health and safety of the residents occupying these rooms. The room
waiver indicated the two rooms were separated by a brick wall and the entry way to and from rooms
[ROOM NUMBERS] was through a common door into the hallway.
During interviews with residents both individually and collectively, the residents did not express any
concerns regarding the size of the room.
The Department would be recommending the room waiver for rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] as requested by
the facility.
