comes up, or if nurses were reviewing orders and notify a concerning diagnosis, the PASRR should be
reviewed and if they needed a Level II assessment, it should be submitted.

Resident was at risk for decline in mental or physical condition related to diagnosis of [immune deficiency

Interventions included observing new onset of signs/symptoms of disease progression and for
complications related to disease progression and to update physician if noted.
Residents Affected - Some
An interview was conducted with the Social Services Director (SSD) on 5/29/24 at 3:21 p.m. She stated she
did not refer residents for outside services because nursing would do so. She stated if a new admission
came and they had a diagnosis such as [immune deficiency syndrome], they review in their clinical
meeting. She said, Some type of assessment would follow, usually an initial assessment with nursing. We
ask them where they came from, we ask to see if they have psychosocial needs that need to be addressed.
We as an IDT (Interdisciplinary team) identify if they need access for medications with particular diagnosis.
The SSD stated nursing staff would tell her if the resident required psychotherapy, and she would get the
resident help. She stated at this time there were no residents who required outside referral for [immune
deficiency syndrome] care. She said, No, I don't know there are residents without medications. Nursing
would tell me if someone needed a referral. They have not told me.
An interview was conducted on 05/29/24 at 3:44 p.m. with the facility's Psychiatric ARNP (Advanced
Registered Nurse Practitioner). She stated she had not discussed Resident 19's [immune deficiency
syndrome] diagnosis with him. She said, I have seen him for psych reason, depression, I believe. I did not
know if he needed medications. I would not discuss these kinds of diagnoses with them, I think it would be
inappropriate. The ARNP stated unless a resident or a staff member brought up a concern, she would not
have a reason to discuss it with them. She said, I let them choose what they want to discuss. I don't know if
or why he [Resident #19] does not want medications. The ARNP stated the facility should provide the
appropriate follow-up regarding [immune deficiency syndrome] treatment for their residents.
On 05/29/24 at 4:08 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Primary Care Physician (PCP) listed for
Residents #101 and #19. He stated he had not seen Resident #101 but was scheduled to see him the
following Thursday. He stated he would not be the one to address [immune deficiency syndrome] treatment.
He stated [immune deficiency syndrome] residents should be seen by an [immune deficiency syndrome]
specialist at an [immune deficiency syndrome] clinic. He stated he did not do the referral, but the facility
should refer the residents. The PCP said, If someone comes in with a [immune deficiency syndrome]
diagnosis, they should be handled like any other diagnoses such as diabetes or dialysis.
On 05/29/24 at 4:30 p.m., an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON). The ADON stated if a resident was admitted with [immune deficiency
syndrome] diagnosis, they run their labs to determine where they are. She said, We make sure they have
medications. We start with an assessment to determine their needs. The DON stated the SSD should
assess the resident to make sure their psychosocial needs are being met. She said, We review their
medications with the provider. If they do not have medications, we contact pharmacy and consult with SSD
to see about a referral for specialty medications from the community. The ADON stated she was not aware
there were residents who did not have medications. The DON, ADON and this surveyor reviewed the
resident records for Resident #101 and #19 and confirmed there were no lab orders or a documented
process for referral for [immune deficiency syndrome] care. The review showed there was no care plan for
Resident #19's refusal for medications. The record further showed these resident's psychosocial needs
related to the [immune deficiency syndrome] diagnosis were not documented as being

In a follow -up interview conducted on 05/30/24 at 10:28 a.m. The DON and the ADON confirmed this was
a missed opportunity. They stated the two residents should have been connected with a specialist for care
and services. The DON stated their expectation was to assess the residents upon admission and schedule
a consultation for external services. She stated if a resident needed specialty medications, they would
make it happen. She confirmed they did not refer Resident #101 to the health department per the hospital
discharge instructions. She said, We should have done it. The ADON stated for Resident #19, I spoke with
him yesterday [05/29/24] upon learning he was not on [immune deficiency syndrome] medications. He did
say he was on medications before, but not since admission in 2022. I don't know why he does not want
medications. Psych should assess him for that. She stated either way, he [Resident #19] should have been
assessed and care planned accordingly.
Residents Affected - Some

fall related injury related to generalized weakness, is impulsive, attempts transfers, has a history of falls,
and has poor safety awareness.
Review of a document titled, SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation)
communication Form, dated 02/20/24 showed an evaluation was conducted related to falls. The summary
of observations and evaluation showed: The CNA (certified nursing assistant) came and told me that the
patient was in the hall and told her that he fell in the bathroom and hit his head. I went to the patients room
and found him with a red area on the left side in front of his head. He told me he slipped in the bathroom
and bumped his head and was noted with the small scratch and red bump. Called POA and MD and Don.
Nurse practitioner was on call, and she ordered head X-ray.
Review of a neurological evaluation for Resident #105, dated 02/20/24, showed under instructions: This
form should be completed for any unwitnessed fall or other accident/injury with possible head trauma or
when indicated by the residence condition. The physician should be notified of any neurological change that

During an interview on 05/29/2024 at 11:00 a.m., with Staff G, License Practical Nurse, LPN. She stated
she did not assess the resident's hand and complete a new skin assessment because she told the Director
of Nursing about the resident, but she would do a skin assessment when she gets a chance to do it.
During an interview on 05/29/2024 at 1:00 p.m., with the Director of Nurses, DON. She stated the nurse
that was assigned to Resident #8 reported to her about the bruise on the resident's right hand. She said
she and the Assisted Director of Nursing went to assess the resident's hand, but they did not document any
of their findings. They concluded that they did not know what happened to her hand. She reviewed the
resident's medical record to see if she was on any blood thinner, but after her record review she determined
the resident had not taken any anticoagulants or any medication that may have caused her to have
discoloration on her skin. The DON stated the expectations were that a skin assessment should have been
documented in the resident medical record at the time the assessment was done.

She reviewed Resident #106's medical record. She confirmed there was no documentation after the
resident-to-resident situation on 3/7/24 as to what happened or why the resident left two days later. The
ADON said there should be a note in the record about the resident leaving AMA. She said if a resident is
leaving AMA, staff should try to find out why the resident wants to leave or if there is something they may
not understand. She said the nurse should call the doctor then see if they can coach or educate the
resident about trying to do a proper discharge. She said if the resident is adamant about leaving the nurse
should ensure they know the risk for leaving and sign the AMA documentation. She said the nurses should
document the entire situation and everything they did during the process. She said she did not know what
happened with the resident and why there was no documentation. She said there is no way to know if the
doctor was called or family notified.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility 1) failed to ensure an effective infection control
program related to isolation orders for one resident (#95) out of two residents sampled on contact
precautions, 2) failed to properly use personal protective equipment (PPE) on two out of four units, and 3)
failed to use proper hand hygiene during tray pass on one out of four units.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
1. An observation was conducted on 5/28/24 at 9:26 a.m. of a housekeeper in room [ROOM NUMBER] with
no PPE on. The room had a contact precaution sign posted on the door with no PPE cart at the door.
(Photographic evidence obtained). Contact precaution signs were observed to be on room [ROOM
NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER], however they were not on the list provided by the facility as being
on isolation precautions.
An observation of meal service was conducted on 5/28/24 at 12:35 p.m. on the northwest hall. A CNA
picked up a tray and delivered it to a resident. She set up the resident's food tray and proceeded to move
the resident's personal fan and items on her tray table. The CNA performed no hand hygiene before going
to pick up another tray. The CNA delivered that tray and set it up for the resident. She took a bag of trash
from that resident's room, disposed of it, went to the common area to speak to someone then returned to
the cart to grab another tray without performing hand hygiene. The CNA was observed delivering two more
trays and setting them up for residents before performing hand hygiene.
Review of admission Record for Resident #95 showed he was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses including Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Extended Spectrum Beta
Lactamase (ESBL).
Review of Resident #95's Medical Certification for Medicaid Long-Term Care Services and Patient Transfer
Form, dated 5/21/24, showed the resident was screened and tested positive for Clostridium difficile (C-diff)
on 5/19/24 and was on contact isolation precautions.
Review of Resident #95's physician order showed the order for Contact Isolation Precautions for C-diff and
MRSA were not put in until 5/28/24, 1 week after the resident was re-admitted .
An interview was conducted on 5/30/24 at 5:52 p.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)/Infection
Preventionist (IP). She said hand hygiene should always be done by staff in between each room while
passing trays to residents. She said when any staff in the facility sees a contact precaution sign on the door,
they should know what the sign means. She said if the sign is for contact precautions, PPE should be worn
anytime someone goes in the room. When discussing doors that have contact precaution signs that may
not have contact precaution orders due to a mix up, she confirmed if the sign is on the door, the PPE
should be worn because all staff do not know the resident's orders. The ADON reviewed Resident #95's
medical record and confirmed the contact precaution order was not put in until one week after he was
admitted . She said it should have been put in immediately upon his arrival. She confirmed they have no
way of knowing if the sign was put up and PPE was being used in the week prior to the order being entered
in the computer.
