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 the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)
was notified within 24-hours when the facility had a Covid (a highly contagious disease caused by the
coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 spread by droplets from coughing, sneezing or talking) outbreak on 10/16/2025
for two of two sampled residents (Residents 3 and 10) and one facility staff. This deficient practice resulted
in an increase of Covid positive residents and staff without CDPH knowledge and oversight and had the
potential for the Covid to continue spreading amongst residents, staff and visitors due to possible ineffective
infection control practice. Findings: a. During a record review of Resident 3's admission Record (Face
sheet), the Face sheet indicated Resident 3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnosis including
Parkinson's disease (a progressive disease of the nervous system marked by tremor, muscular rigidity, and
slow imprecise movements) and failure to thrive (a decline caused by chronic diseases and functional
impairments which can cause weight loss, decreased appetite, poor nutrition and inactivity). During a
review of Resident 3's Minimum Data Set ([MDS] a resident assessment tool) dated 9/17/2025, the MDS
indicated Resident 3 was able to make decisions that were reasonable and consistent. During a record
review of Resident 3's SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation- a communication
tool used by healthcare workers when there is a [NAME] in condition among the residents) dated
10/15/2025, the SBAR indicated Resident 3 was dizzy, had a sore throat and runny nose and was positive
for Covid. b. During a record review of Resident 10's admission Record (Face sheet), the Face sheet
indicated Resident 10 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with a diagnosis of hypothyroidism (a condition
when the thyroid gland does not make or release enough hormone into the bloodstream causing slow
functions of the body such as tiredness and weight gain). During a review of Resident 10's MDS dated
[DATE], the MDS indicated Resident 10 was able to make decisions that were reasonable and consistent.
During a record review of Resident 10's SBAR dated 10/15/2025, the SBAR indicated Resident 10 had no
symptoms of a respiratory infection but was positive Covid. During a review of an email from the Public
Health Nurse (PHN) to the facility's Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN) and the facility's Administrator
(ADM) dated 10/16/2026 and timed at 2:35 p.m., the email indicated the facility met the criteria for a Covid
outbreak because of two or more Covid cases amongst the residents and staff. The email indicated the
facility should report the Covid outbreak to CDPH. During an interview on 10/23/2025 at 12:59 p.m., the
IPN stated on 10/15/2025, Resident 3 and Resident 10 tested positive for Covid along with the facility's
receptionist was tested positive for Covid on 10/16/2025. The IPN stated as of 10/23/2025, there were 18
residents and 15 staff who were positive for Covid. The IPN stated the PHN gave the facility guidance to
report the Covid outbreak to the State Agency (CDPH) but she did report the incidence to CDPH until
10/22/2025 because she thought the other government entities would be notified including CDPH, once
she reported the Covid outbreak to the local public health office. The IPN stated she should have reported
the Covid outbreak to CDPH on

10/16/2025 (within 24 hours) of the facility's initial Covid outbreak so CDPH could monitor the facility's
infection control procedures and/or practices and their compliance with the PHN's guidance. During an
interview on 10/23/2025 at 1:30 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) stated the IPN should have followed
the guidance of the PHN regarding reporting the Covid outbreak to CDPH because the State agency could
investigate the infection control procedure and policies of the facility to determine how effective the facility's
monitoring process and efforts of preventing further spread of Covid amongst residents, staff and visitors.
During an interview on 10/23/2025 at 1:51 p.m., the ADM stated he and the IPN were aware of the
guidance from the PHN on 10/16/2025 regarding the facility's Covid outbreak. The ADM stated the current
Covid outbreak was considered an unusual occurrence and the IPN and he should have reported it to
CDPH within 24 hours based on the facility's policy and procedure. During a review of the facility's undated
Policy and Procedure (P/P), titled, Unusual Occurrence Reporting the P/P indicated the facility is required
by the Federal or State regulations, to report any unusual occurrence or reportable events that can threaten
the welfare, safety or health of the residents, employees or visitors, such as an outbreak of a communicable
disease to the appropriate agencies within 24 hours.
