prevent accidents.
Based on interviews, record review, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure each resident receives
adequate supervision and assistance to prevent accidents by not screening 1 of 1 resident sampled for
smoking. (Resident #164)On 9/18/25, a chart review was conducted of the electronic medical record (EMR)
for Resident #164. No safe smoker screening was documented in the record. On 9/18/25 at approximately

smoking list kept by activities staff. Activities staff are responsible for providing supervision and assistance
to residents who smoke. When asked about Resident #164's current smoking status, she stated that the
resident does not smoke. If she does want to start smoking, she will then be screened for safe smoking,
provided teaching, and set up with Activities staff. On 9/19/25 at approximately 11:02 am, an interview was
conducted with Staff K (Activities Assistant), about the residents' current smoking status. She stated that
she has observed Resident #164 smoking. When asked how the resident gets cigarettes, she stated that
the resident had cigarettes in the lockbox used to store residents smoking supplies. When asked if the
resident is on her smoking list, she states that she thinks the resident is on the list. A review of the typed
smoking list then provided demonstrates Resident #164's name handwritten on the bottom of the page. The
facility's undated policy entitled Smoking/Agreement/Notice of Policy stated: Patients electing to smoke will

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, record and policy review, and interviews, the facility failed to follow infection control
practices for 1 of 1 resident sampled for wound care treatment (Resident #159), 1 of 2 residents sampled
for droplet isolation precautions (Resident #34), and 1 of 1 resident sampled for contact isolation
precautions. (Resident #107)Resident #107
Residents Affected - Few
A chart review conducted on Resident #107 revealed a physician order which stated, Isolation Type
– CONTACT-methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) every shift for monitoring.
Observations of the resident’s room door revealed a sign for Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) [a
different category of contact precautions] hung on an over-the-door caddy containing Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) supplies such as gown, gloves, and masks. There was no signage for the ordered contact
isolation precautions observed posted on the door.
On 9/16/2025 at approximately 11:05 AM, an interview was conducted with the resident’s nurse
Staff R, a Registered Nurse, about the resident’s current isolation status. He stated the resident is
on enhanced barrier precautions. After consulting the resident’s record, he then stated that the
resident does have an order for contact isolation precautions due to MRSA. Subsequent observations at
12:40 pm and 2:40 pm showed no change in posted signage.
On 9/16/25 at approximately 1:30 pm, an interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing (DON).
When asked about her expectations from nursing staff regarding a resident’s isolation status when
isolation is ordered by the physician, she stated her expectations would be that the ordered isolation
precaution signage would be verified posted on the resident’s door. She stated that the Assistant
Director of Nursing (ADON) was responsible for posting isolation precautions when the physician placed an
isolation order.
On 9/16/25 at approximately 1:45 pm, an interview with the ADON was conducted. She was asked why the
ordered contact isolation status was not posted. She stated that, because the resident had been on
antibiotics to treat the infection, the risk of transmission is low and he was placed on EBP. The physician
was not contacted for clarification on the order.
The facility’s policy entitled “Isolation-Categories of Transmission-Based Precautions”
last revised 2018 stated: Transmission-Based Precautions are initiated when a resident…has a
laboratory confirmed infection; and is at risk of transmitting the infection to other residents. The policy
Interpretation and Implementation stated 5. When a resident is placed on transmission-based precautions,
appropriate notification is placed on the room entrance door so that personnel and visitors are aware of the
need for and the type of PPE…a. The signage informs the staff of Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) precautions, instructions for use of PPE.

positive COVID-19 result on 9/11/25. Physician's orders included Paxlovid (150/100) twice a day for 5 days
with a start date of 9/12/25. There were no orders for droplet isolation.
