This survey cited 15 deficiencies. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to accommodate the needs of 3 of 25 sampled residents (Resident 16, Resident 58, and Resident 83) when: Residents Affected - Few 1. Resident 16's call light was not within reach; 2. Residents 58's call light was attached to the bottom of the bed rail not within reach; and, 3. Resident 83's call light was on a chair not within reach. These failures placed Resident 16, Resident 58, and Resident 83 at risk of falls and unmet needs due to the inability to request assistance from staff. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/3/25, at 11:31 AM, with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 in Resident 16's room, Resident 16 was observed trying to find the call light to call for help. LN 1 confirmed the call light was not in reach. LN 1 stated the call light was found under the pillows and pulled it out and handed it to Resident 16. LN 1 further stated Resident 16 had limited movement and would not have been able to find the call light under the pillows. LN 1 explained the call light not being in reach was a risk to residents who depend on staff for help, getting up, and other needs. During an interview on 2/6/25, at 9:56 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated it was her expectation residents to have call lights in reach and expected staff to check and make sure it was in reach every time they came into the resident's rooms. The DON further stated the residents should have clips on the call lights so they can be secured to the bed, so the call light stayed in place and within reach. The DON explained the risk to the residents was getting hurt, or not getting their needs met. Review of Resident 16's care plan revised 9/26/24, indicated, .[Resident 16] has behavior of independently getting out of bed and attempting to stand at bedside .Be sure to answer call light timely .Remind [Resident 16] to use call light for assistance .

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 2. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/03/25, at 11:50 AM, with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1 in Resident 58's room, Resident 58 attempted to access her call light while lying in bed. The call light was attached to the bottom of the bed rail a few inches from the floor. CNA 1 stated Resident 58's call light was out of reach. CNA 1 further stated without access to the call light, Resident 58 was at risk of not being able to call staff for help and unable to make her needs known. Residents Affected - Few During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/03/25, at 11:50 AM, with Licensed Vocational Nurse (LN) 2, LN 2 stated Resident 58's call light was tangled to the bottom of the bed rail and Resident 58 was unable to access the call light. LN 2 further stated that Residents should always have the call light within reach. LN 2 stated the risk for not having the call light within reach was that Resident's care needs could not have been met. 3. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/03/25, at 12:49 PM, with LN 1 in Resident 83's room, LN 1 stated Resident 83's call light was in a chair, not within reach. LN 1 further stated the call light should have been within reach. LN 1 stated, the risk for not having the call light within reach was Resident 83 could have fallen and not been able to call staff when he needed assistance. During an interview on 2/04/25, at 12:19 PM, with the DON, the DON stated if residents did not have their call lights within reach, they would be at risk of falling or not getting what they needed in a timely manner. A review of the facility policy titled, Call Light Answering, updated August 2023, indicated, .Place the call device within resident's reach before leaving room .

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 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 ensure 7 of 25 sampled residents (Resident 56, Resident 69, Resident 91, Resident 24, Resident 3, Resident 75, and Resident 82) rights related to treatment choices were known and protected when: 1. Resident 69, Resident 24 and Resident 3's POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment: care directives during life threatening situations), did not have documented evidence that an Advance Directive (legal documentation consistent with a person's medical preference when they were no longer able to make decisions for themselves) was requested/discussed with Resident 69, Resident 24 and Resident 3; 2. Resident 56's and Resident 91's code status order (to provide or not provide life saving measures in the event of an emergency) in the electronic medical record (EMR) did not match the code status listed on the POLST; 3. Resident 75's POLST did not have documented evidence that an Advanced Directive was discussed with Resident 75's Resident Representative who had Power of Attorney (POA - a legal document that allows someone to act on behalf of another person); and, 4. Resident 82's POLST, Section D was incomplete. These failures resulted in Resident 91 receiving CPR when her POLST indicated Do Not Resuscitate (DNR - allow natural death to occur) (Refer to F684), and had the potential for Resident 82, Resident 69, Resident 24, Resident 56, Resident 3, and Resident 75's wishes regarding emergency treatment to not be followed. Findings: 1a. A review of Resident 69's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 69 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included dementia (the loss of cognitive functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning - to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities). A review of Resident 69's clinical document titled, .POLST, dated [DATE], indicated Section D, Information and Signatures, did not have documented evidence of the discussion of Resident 69's Advanced Directives. 1b. A review of Resident 24's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 24 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included mild cognitive impairment (a condition in which people have more memory or thinking problems than other people their age). A review of Resident 24's clinical document titled, .POLST, dated [DATE], indicated Section D, Information and Signatures, did not have documented evidence of the discussion of Resident 24's Advanced Directives. 1c. A review of Resident 3's admission RECORD, indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included cancer.

F 0578 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some A review of Resident 3's clinical document titled, .POLST, dated [DATE], indicated Section D, Information and Signatures, did not have documented evidence of the discussion of Resident 3's Advanced Directives. During an interview on [DATE] at 2:55 PM with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD stated she was unaware it was her responsibility to ask about Advance Directives. The SSD stated she thought if there was an Advance Directive then someone would bring it to her. The SSD stated no one told her she should reach out to families and residents about their Advance Directives. During a concurrent interview and record review with the SSD, on [DATE], at 11:29 AM, the SSD acknowledged Resident 69, Resident 24, and Resident 3's POLST, Section D was not filled out. The SSD explained It was important to fill out Section D of the POLST to know whether the resident had an advance directive, and if they have one, the facility needs to ask for a copy and upload it to the residents medical record, it was required.: During an interview on [DATE], at 11:40 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON), stated social services should ask for a copies of Advance Directives. The DON further stated, if it says advanced directive not available, the facility should contact the family, .code status should match because you don't know what the wishes of the patient are and what can happen. If it doesn't match you could do CPR when they have no CPR order. A review of the facility policy titled, Advance Directive, published 1/2025, indicated, .POLST .This document, signed by an authorized health care professional, is a medial order that records residents' treatment wishes so that emergency personnel know what treatments to provide in the event of a medical emergency. This is not an advance directive .the resident's comprehensive care plan is reviewed and updated routinely in order to incorporate the resident's choices regarding these rights into treatment, care and services . 2a. During a concurrent interview and record review of Resident 56's medical record on [DATE], at 1:57 p.m., Licensed Nurse (LN) 2 stated Resident 56's POLST dated [DATE] indicated a code status of Attempt Resuscitation/CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency life-saving procedure that is done when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped) and Resident 56's health record revealed a code status of DNR (do not resuscitate. A medical order that instructs health care providers not to perform CPR). LN 2 further stated the risk of not knowing the correct code status was the resident's correct wishes not being followed. 2b. A review of Resident 91's clinical record titled, admission RECORD, indicated Resident 91's diagnoses included atrial fibrillation (a condition where the upper chambers of the heartbeat irregularly and rapidly). A review of Resident 91's physician's orders, dated, [DATE], indicated, .Order Summary: Code Status FULL CODE (CPR should be performed) . A review of Resident 91's clinical record titled, POLST, dated [DATE], indicated, .Do Not Resuscitate/DNR . The POLST was signed by Resident 91's Responsible Party (RP), Resident 91's son, and the Physician's Assistant.

During an interview with LN 3, on [DATE], at 3:50 PM, LN 3 stated Resident 91's POLST was created on [DATE]. LN 3 explained the POLST was signed by the physician on [DATE]. LN 3 further explained, until [DATE], Resident 91 was a full code, reflecting the discharging hospitals records. LN 3 stated when the POLST was updated we should have updated the EHR to reflect DNR. During an interview with LN 4, on [DATE], at 4:19 PM, LN 4 stated to check a resident's code status you would check the binder that has the POLST and the EHR. LN 4 explained he would check both. During an interview with the Administrator (ADM), on [DATE], at 12:01 PM, the ADM stated the process for determining code status was by the POLST or by what they tell us in their care plan conference (a meeting where a patient's care team reviews and adjusts their care plan. The ADM explained the importance of knowing the residents code status was to respect the residents' wishes. The ADM further explained not following the residents wishes could cause psychosocial harm. The ADM confirmed facility staff performed CPR on Resident 91 when she should have been a DNR on [DATE]. 3. A review of Resident 75's clinical document titled, admission RECORD, indicated Resident 75 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included bipolar disorder (a mental health condition characterized by significant and alternating mood swings between periods of extreme highs and lows. Resident 75's admission Record indicated Resident 75's son was her legally recognized representative and her Power of Attorney (POA). Section D of Resident 75's POLST indicated Advanced Directives were discussed with Resident 75, and not Resident 75's son. During an interview with Family Member (FM) 1, on [DATE], at 11:04 AM, FM 1 stated he had POA for Resident 75's medical decisions prior to her admission. FM 1 explained if the facility discussed Resident 75's Advanced directive with her, she would not understand what they were talking about. During an interview with the SSD, on [DATE], at 11:39 AM, the SSD confirmed Resident 75's Advanced Directives were discussed with Resident 75 and should have been discussed with FM 1, as Resident 75 did not have capacity (ability to make decisions for yourself). , 4. A review of Resident 82's clinical record titled, POLST, dated [DATE], revealed Section D, Information and Signatures, was left blank. During a concurrent interview and record review on [DATE] at 3:28 PM with the Social Services Director (SSD), the SSD confirmed Resident 82's POLST Section D had not been filled out. The SSD stated, Section D lets the facility know if Resident 82 has an Advanced Directive and who was spoken to about it. A review of the facility policy titled, Advance Directive, revised [DATE], indicated, It is the policy of this facility that residents have the right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive .POLST: This document, signed by an authorized health care professional, is a medical order that records residents' treatment wishes so that emergency personnel know what treatments to provide in the event of a medical emergency .

Resident 8 and Resident 18, who were roommates, were on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP - use of gown and gloves to prevent the spread of Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO's illnesses/infections resistant to some antibiotics) but did not have a care plan for MDRO's developed and implemented; and, 2. Resident 91's care plan for Do Not Resuscitate (DNR - allow natural death to occur) was not implemented (Refer F684). These failures placed Resident 8 and Resident 18 at risk for infection and had the potential for other residents residing in the facility to acquire an MDRO, and resulted in facility staff initiating a Full Code (CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation is emergency treatment when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped) on Resident 91 against her wishes. Findings: 1a. A review of Resident 8's clinical document titled, admission RECORD, indicated Resident 8 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included a urinary tract infection (an infection in any part of the urinary system). A review of Resident 8's clinical document from an outside facility titled, Urine Culture, dated [DATE], indicated, .Escherichia coli .Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producer .[a type of bacteria resistant to certain antibiotics], an active MDRO infection.

The IP explained Resident 18 and Resident 8 should have signage on the outside of their door indicating both residents were on EBP since they both had MDRO's. The IP stated the importance of EBP was to stop the spread of MDRO's. The IP explained it was important because the facility population was at risk of acquiring MDRO's and they do not want to spread them in the facility. During a follow up interview with the IP, on [DATE], at 10:10 AM, the IP acknowledged Resident 8 and Resident 18's EBP care plans were not developed until [DATE]. The IP explained the importance of care plans was so that everyone was aware of and following the residents plan of care.

F 0684 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm until [DATE], Resident 91 was a full code (to provide life saving measures such as CPR), which reflected Resident 91's discharging hospitals records. LN 3 stated when Resident 91's POLST was updated and signed by the Physician's Assistant on [DATE], the facility should have updated Resident 91's electronic health record (EHR; an electronic version of a resident's medical history, that is maintained by the provider over time] to reflect the DNR status as indicated on Resident 91's POLST. Residents Affected - Few During an interview on [DATE], at 4:19 PM, LN 4 stated to check a resident's code status you would check the binder that has the residents POLST forms and the residents EHR. LN 4 explained he would check both the POLST and the EHR. During an interview on [DATE], at 9:13 AM, LN 6 stated a (unidentified) CNA was rounding and found Resident 91 not breathing and called for help [on [DATE]]. LN 6 explained Resident 91's code status was checked in Resident 91's EHR, indicating Resident 91 was a full code. LN 6 further explained they started CPR, got the AED (automated external defibrillator; a portable device that delivers an electric shock to a person when their heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating), put the backboard in place, and called 911. LN 6 stated she initiated CPR. LN 6 explained the difference between the EHR and the POLST was confusing because Resident 91's POLST said DNR. LN 6 further explained they found out Resident 91's POLST indicated Resident 91 was DNR while EMS was there and informed them, but they had already provided life saving measures to Resident 91 for a few minutes. LN 6 stated the process for finding out a resident's resuscitation status was to look in the EHR. LN 6 stated the risk to performing CPR on someone who was DNR would be trauma to the resident and the resident's family. LN 6 stated they would want to follow the residents', and the families' wishes. During an interview on [DATE], at 9:23 AM, LN 7 explained they did two to three cycles of CPR on Resident 91, stating they had applied the AED pads at the same time they started compressions. LN 7 stated he was not aware Resident 91 was DNR, stating Resident 91's EHR indicated full code, so CPR was initiated. LN 7 stated the process for determining a resident's code status was by checking the POLST to see what the resident's wishes were, full code or DNR. LN 7 stated he did not check the POLST, only the EHR. LN 7 explained the EHR was usually updated with the most current POLST. LN 7 explained the risk of performing CPR on a resident who was DNR was unnecessary damage and trauma to the resident and the resident's family. During an interview on [DATE], at 12:01 PM, the Administrator (ADM) stated the process for determining code status was by the POLST or by what they tell us in their care plan conference (a meeting where a resident's care team which typically consists of the resident, their family, and medical personnel from the facility, to discuss and update a resident's plan of care). The ADM explained the importance of knowing the residents code status was to respect the residents wishes. The ADM further explained not following the residents' wishes could cause psychosocial harm. A review of the facility policy titled, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), updated [DATE], indicated, .CPR is initiated for those residents who .Have requested, through advanced directive [a legal document that states your wishes for medical care if you cannot make them yourself] or POLST .to have CPR initiated when cardiac or respiratory arrest occurs . A review of the facility policy titled, Advance Directive, revised [DATE], indicated, It is the policy of this facility that residents have the right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment .and to formulate an advance directive .POLST: This document, signed by an authorized health care professional, is a medical order that records residents' treatment wishes so that emergency personnel know what treatments to provide in the event of a medical emergency .

F 0692 Provide enough food/fluids to maintain a resident's health. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper hydration (process of providing fluid to the body) for 1 of 25 sampled residents (Resident 16) per facility policy and Resident 16's care plan when Resident 16's water was out of reach. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in Resident 16 having dry, cracked lips and had the potential to have complications associated with fluid imbalance (when the body loses or gains too much water/fluids). Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/3/25, at 11:31 AM, with Licensed Nurse (LN) 1 in Resident 16's room, Resident 16 stated she was thirsty. Resident 16 looked on the bedside table for something to drink but nothing was there. LN 1 stated the risk to Resident 16 not having fluids available to drink at bedside was becoming dehydrated (when the body loses too much fluid). During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/3/25 at 11:42 AM, with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 3 in Resident 16's room, Resident 16 stated the staff got her water but moved her bedside table with the water on it out of reach. Resident 16 stated she was still thirsty. CNA 3 confirmed Resident 16's bedside table and water was not in reach. CNA 3 confirmed Resident 16's lips were chapped (cracked, rough or sore) and peeling (lose parts of its outer layer). CNA 3 stated the risk to the resident was dehydration. During an interview on 2/6/25, at 9:56 AM, with the Director of Nursing, the DON stated fluids should always be in reach and available to the residents, especially if the resident had signs of dehydration like dry lips.

F 0695 Provide safe and appropriate respiratory care for a resident when needed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure respiratory care was provided in accordance with professional standards of practice for 2 of 19 residents when: Residents Affected - Few 1. Oxygen therapy was provided without a physician order for Resident 192 and an oxygen in use sign was not posted outside of Resident 192's room; and, 2. An oxygen in use sign was not posted outside of the room for Resident 296. These failures had the potential to result in negative impacts on the residents' health and safety including risks for ineffective oxygen therapy, and respiratory distress. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 192's admission Record indicated Resident 192 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD: a group of lung diseases that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe). During an observation on 2/03/25, at 11:25 a.m., Resident 192 was observed in her room with the oxygen concentrator on at a flow rate of 1.5 liters per minute (LPM-unit of measurement for oxygen delivery) via nasal cannula (a small flexible tube that contains two open prongs intended to sit just inside the nostrils). When asked, Resident 192 stated she had been using oxygen since she had been at the facility. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/03/25, at 11:55 a.m., with Licensed Nurse (LN) 2, LN 2 confirmed Resident 192 did not currently have a physician order for oxygen use. LN 2 stated Resident 192 was known to use oxygen so she should have an order for it. LN 2 further stated the resident was at risk for receiving incorrect dosage of oxygen without an order from the physician which could have led to respiratory complications. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/03/25, at 2:30 p.m., with LN 2 outside of Resident 192's room, LN 2 confirmed there was no oxygen in use sign posted outside Resident 192's room. LN 2 stated Resident 192 was known to use oxygen and there should have been a sign posted outside her room. LN 2 further stated the risk for not having an oxygen in use sign could have made it difficult for staff to keep track of Residents who are using supplemental oxygen in the event of fire. During an interview on 2/04/24, at 12:23 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated she expected oxygen in use signs to be posted outside of the rooms for any resident who used oxygen. The DON explained the risk for not having an oxygen order was that the resident's oxygen saturation (a measure of how much oxygen is in your blood) could have dropped. 2. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/3/25, at 1:01 PM, in front of Resident 246's room with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 4, CNA 4 confirmed Resident 246 was on oxygen and there was no sign on the door that indicated oxygen was in use. CNA 4 stated it was important to have the sign because oxygen was a potential fire hazard. During an interview on 2/3/25, at 1:05 PM, with LN 2, LN 2 stated they did not usually put signs on the resident's doorways to alert that oxygen was in use.

F 0695 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few stated it was policy to place the oxygen in use sign on the doorway entrance. LN 1 further stated the risk to the residents and staff when the sign was not placed was that oxygen was combustible and others may not be aware oxygen was in use. During an interview on 2/6/25, at 12:42 PM, the DON stated the residents who were on oxygen were supposed to have signage on their door to alert staff that oxygen was in use. The DON further stated it was important, so people knew to not smoke or use electronic cigarette devices in the room due to its flammability (capable of catching fire and burning). The DON confirmed the policy was not followed when the signs were not placed outside of the doors.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food from the kitchen was prepared and served to meet the needs of 3 out of 13 Residents (Resident 8, Resident 42, and Resident 54) on a fortified (added calories) diet, and 1 of 1 Residents (Resident 65) on a finger food diet, for the lunch meal on 2/5/25, when: 1. Resident 8, Resident 42, and Resident 54, who were on an ordered fortified diet did not receive the added food items to increase calories; and, 2. Resident 65 did not receive his/her ordered diet of finger foods. These failures had the potential to result in residents not receiving adequate nutrients, which could lead to unplanned weight loss, vitamin imbalances, and further compromise their medical status. Findings: 1. During an observation on 2/5/25, at 11:48 AM, the lunch tray line staff prepared the trays for Resident 8, Resident 42, and Resident 54 with regular mashed potatoes instead of the fortified mashed potatoes. During an interview on 2/5/25, at 1:24 PM, the Dietary Manager (DM) stated the importance of following the ordered diets and preferences was to prevent unintended weight loss or worsening medical conditions. The DM further stated the lunch menu on 2/5/25 had fortified mashed potatoes that had extra butter and added half and half (half milk and half heavy cream) for additional calories. The DM further stated the cooks follow the fortified diet recipes, however, could not find a fortified diet policy. A review of an undated facility provided document titled, Fortified Potatoes, Mashed (mix) - ½ Cup [unit of measurement], indicated, .Ingredient: Mix, Mashed Potato, dry, water, boiling, creamer, half and half, bulk, margarine . 2. During an observation on 2/5/25, at 11:48 AM, the tray line staff was observed preparing the lunch tray for Resident 65. Resident 65 was served a regular tray of an open-faced (a piece of bread topped with sliced meat, covered in gravy) pork sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy, sliced glazed carrots, and lemon cake. During an interview on 2/6/25, at 9:37 AM, the Registered Dietician (RD) confirmed Resident 65's meal card indicated finger foods and the policy for finger foods was not followed.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain its infection prevention and control program, for a census of 89 residents, when: Residents Affected - Some 1. Physical therapy assistant (PTA) 1 was not wearing an N95 respirator (a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles) in a COVID 19 positive resident room; 2. Certified nurse assistant (CNA) 5 was not wearing a gown when transferring a resident on enhanced barrier precautions (EBP a set of infection control measures that use gowns and gloves to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs microorganisms that are resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics and antifungals)), from her wheelchair to her bed; 3. Two residents (Resident 8 and Resident 18), who were roommates with MDROs, were not placed on EBP; and, 4. A glucometer (used to check blood sugar) was not sanitized between resident's use. These failures had the potential to spread COVID-19, MDROs, and bloodborne illnesses to residents residing in the facility. Findings: 1. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 2/3/25, at 3:13 PM, PTA 1 was observed wearing a surgical mask (a loose-fitting mask disposable face mask) in a COVID 19 positive resident room. PTA 1 confirmed that he was wearing a surgical mask and not the required N95 respirator. PTA 1 explained wearing an N95 respirator was important to prevent himself from being infected with COVID 19 and passing it on to residents residing in the facility and staff. During an interview with the Infection Preventionist (IP), on 2/4/25, at 12:08 PM, the IP stated when entering a room with COVID 19 positive residents, staff were required to wear a gown, gloves, N95 respirator, and a face shield. The IP explained a surgical mask would not be sufficient protection from COVID 19, it would not protect you. A review of the facility policy titled, SARS-CoV2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] (COVID-19) SNF [Skilled Nursing Facility], published 1/2025, indicated, .Centers observe source control for all healthcare personnel (HCP) as follows .N-95 respirators that are in use for source control are removed and discarded and a new N-95 respirator donned [put on] following resident care encounters for those with known or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection . 2.

A review of Resident 18's clinical document from an outside facility titled, Urine Culture, dated 2/8/24, indicated, .Escherichia coli .Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producer ., an active MDRO infection. During a concurrent observation and interview, on 2/3/25, at 10:41 AM, the IP was observed carrying an EBP sign, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to hang on Resident 8 and Resident 18's door in A Hall. The IP explained Resident 18 and Resident 8 should have signage on the outside of their door indicating both residents were on EBP since they both had MDRO's. The IP stated the importance of EBP was to stop the spread of MDRO's. The IP explained it was important because the facility population was at risk of acquiring MDRO's and they do not want to spread them in the facility. A review of the facility policy titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, revised 3/26/24, indicated, .Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are initiated to reduce transmission of multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO's) employing targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some During an interview with the Director of Nurses (DON), on 2/6/25, at 8:37 AM, the DON stated the process for cleaning and sanitizing the glucometer was to wipe it off with a bleach wipe, and let it dry. During an interview with the IP, on 2/6/25, at 10:02 AM, the IP stated the importance of cleaning and sanitizing the glucometer was to make sure it was clean, so you do not pass on germs to the next person, and to sanitize the glucometer so it was ready to use on the next resident, and you are not contaminating the medication cart. The IP explained if the glucometer was not sanitized after cleaning it residents could be exposed to bacteria and blood that was on the glucometer from another person, which could cause bloodborne illness in other residents.

F 0883 Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations. 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 1 of 25 sampled residents (Resident 75) was offered the Pneumococcal booster Vaccine (vaccine to prevent pneumonia) even though Resident 75 was eligible to receive the vaccine. Residents Affected - Few This failure resulted in Resident 75 being at higher risk for contracting pneumonia from not receiving the pneumococcal vaccine when eligible. Findings: 1. A review of Resident 75's admission Record indicated Resident 75 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses which included muscle weakness, anemia (when the body does not have enough red blood cells), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (the inability to regulate sugar levels in the body) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (lung disease). A review of Resident 75's medical record titled, Immunization Record and History, dated 10/25/17, indicated Resident 75 had received the PCV13 vaccination (protects against 13 types of bacteria that can cause pneumonia) on 10/25/17. During a concurrent interview and record review on 2/6/25, at 8:10 AM, with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated Resident 75 was eligible for the PPSV23 vaccine (protects against 23 types of bacteria that can cause pneumonia) and should have been offered the PPSV23 for increased risk for pneumococcal disease in adults over the age of 65. The IP stated the risk for not offering pneumonia vaccination was that Resident 75 could have acquired pneumonia which could have led to hospitalization. During an interview on 2/06/25, at 9:06 AM, with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated Resident 75 should have been offered the PPSV23. The DON further stated the risk for not offering pneumonia vaccination was that the Resident could have gotten pneumonia. A review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) document titled, Vaccines & Immunizations, reviewed 10/30/19, indicated, .Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSC23) can prevent pneumococcal disease .These bacteria can cause many types of illness, including pneumonia, which is an infection of the lungs .people with certain medical conditions, adults [AGE] years older .are at the highest risk .PPSV23 protects against 23 types of bacteria that cause pneumococcal disease .PPSV23 is recommended for all adults 65 years or older .People 65 years or older should get a dose pf PPSV23 even if they have already gotten one or more doses of the vaccine before they turned 65 . A review of the CDC document titled, Vaccines & Immunizations, reviewed 10/26/24, indicated, .People at increased risk for pneumococcal disease include .adults 65 years or older .Chronic lung conditions that increase someone's risk include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease .CDC recommends pneumococcal vaccination .Adults age [AGE] years or older have the option to receive 1 dose of PCV 20 or 1 dose of PCV21 (a pneumococcal vaccine) at least 1 year after the last PCV13 dose (a pneumococcal vaccine) .and PPSV23 (a pneumococcal vaccine) at or after the age of [AGE] years old .PPSV23 .give to adults who have received an earlier vaccine called PCV13.

F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain kitchen equipment for 89 residents who received food from the kitchen when the steamer (small appliance that cooks food using steam) was leaking water onto the ground. Residents Affected - Few This failure had the potential to injure staff due to a wet floor and compromise food safety for the 89 residents receiving food from the kitchen. Findings: During the initial kitchen tour on 2/3/25, at 9:01 AM, the steamer (which sat next to the stove) was observed leaking water from the bottom onto a maroon kitchen tray and then overflowed onto the ground. There were no signs that cautioned wet floors in the area. During a concurrent observation and interview on 2/5/25, at 10:14 AM, standing water was observed puddling onto an overflowing maroon serving tray on the floor under the steamer and being tracked across the kitchen. Dietary [NAME] (CK) 1 stated they needed to keep emptying the tray or it overflowed. CK 1 stated it has been repaired a few times but continuously leaked. CK 1 confirmed a wet floor caution sign was not in use. During an interview on 2/5/25, at 1:10 PM, with the Dietary Manager (DM), the DM stated the risk of the steamer leaking water was the water could harbor bacteria or create a fall hazard for kitchen staff. The DM confirmed the steamer needed to be repaired again, the floor should be dry, and a wet floor caution sign should be used. Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled, Equipment, revised 2/2017, indicated, .All equipment will be routinely cleaned and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's direction .All staff members will be properly trained in the cleaning and maintenance of all equipment .The Dining Services Director will submit requests for maintenance or repair to the Administrator and/or Maintenance Director as needed .
