participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
Based on staff interview, family interview, medical record review, and policy review, the facility failed to
ensure residents had advance directives included in the medical record for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for
advanced directives. (Resident #43)
The findings include:
On 1/29/24 at 3:35 PM, a record review was conducted for Resident #43. Advance directives were not
located in the medical record.
On 1/30/24 at 3:48 PM, an interview was conducted with licensed practical nurse (LPN) EE who was asked
to help locate the advance directives for Resident #43. After looking through the record, LPN EE confirmed
the advanced directives were not there. LPN EE stated, If this resident had a medical emergency, I wouldn't
know what to do.
On 1/30/24 at 4:17 PM, an interview was conducted with the facility administrator (FA) regarding the lack of
advance directives in Resident #43's record. The FA stated that all staff were trained that residents should
be a full code if no advance directives could be found. The FA also stated that a copy of the advance
directives could be located somewhere, and one would be provided. However, on 2/1/24, the FA
acknowledged that a copy of the advanced directives for #43 was not found.

screaming Get me out of here. She stated the food was terrible, the dishes were not clean, there were
roaches in her father's room, and the room was so filthy she felt she had to clean it upon her father's
admission.
On 1/29/24 at approximately 2:50 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #9. The surveyor noted
that he had a blanket under him instead of a sheet and that he was wearing a hospital style gown. His
mattress was visibly soiled with buildup. There were yellow stains on a blanket below his mattress and his
room smelled of urine. He was asked if he preferred to have a blanket under him instead of a sheet. The
resident indicated that his back hurts and the facility often runs out of sheets. He said the church gave him
sheets to use but the facility does not keep up with laundry. He indicated that he does not like wearing the
gown and wanted staff to assist him to change into his clothes and get out of bed. The bathroom sink faucet
of the room had a thick build up of a greenish white powdery substance and the vent in the bathroom had
brown build up on it. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 1/30/24 at approximately 10:00 AM, Residents #1, #9, and #211 were again observed wearing hospital
gowns. Residents #9 preferred to wear their own clothing, but his personal clothes had not been returned
from the laundry.
On 1/31/24 at approximately 11:00 AM, an interview was conducted with a direct care staff member who
wished to remain anonymous. The employee indicated that she did not want her name to be revealed due
to fear of retaliation. She indicated that the linen supplies at the facility have been inadequate for a long
time. Frequently, there are piles of soiled linens waiting to be washed and left-over wet linens waiting to be
dried. She indicated that laundry is not processed after 6:00 PM. The facility often runs out of linen on a
daily basis and it has been a problem for months.
On 01/31/24 at approximately 2:30 PM, an interview was conducted with the significant other of Resident
#211. She was asked if the resident preferred to wear a patient gown. She indicated that he prefers to wear
his own clothing. The surveyor inquired about the pillows without pillowcases and mattress without a sheet
on it. Resident #211's significant other indicated that the facility has seemed to be short on linen since he
was admitted (about 3 weeks earlier).
On 1/31/24 at approximately 4:50 PM, neither Resident #23 nor Resident #47 had a change of clothes
available in their wardrobes. On 2/1/24 at approximately 9:00 AM Resident #23 and #47 were observed
wearing the same clothes as the previous day.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 10:00 AM during a resident care observation, staff did not have a clean fitted
sheet to apply to the bed for Resident #9. The surveyor followed Nurse D, a Licensed Practical Nurse
(LPN), to each of the two indoor laundry storage rooms. Each of the 2 indoor clean linen storage areas had
very little clean laundry available. The first indoor storage room had about 4 bed pads, three sheets, 3 bed
spreads, 15 towels, 1 patient gown and a stack of wash cloths. The other indoor linen storage area had
about 5 patient gowns, about 30 towels, three bed spreads, 1 stack of bed pads, and about 15 flat sheets.
The shelves were mostly bare and there were no fitted sheets in any of the indoor storage areas to apply to
Resident #9's bed. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 2/2/24 at approximately 11:00 AM, an observation of the shower room on the 200 hall was conducted.
The shower room contained a functional small capacity household style washer along with 2 large bins of
soiled linen. The Environmental Services Manager was unable to provide specific information regarding
what types of textiles were being washed in the machine.

On 2/1/23 at approximately 3:00 PM, an interview was completed with the Infection Preventionist nurse
(IP). She was asked if she does infection prevention rounds around the facility to ensure compliance with
infection control processes. The IP explained that she does not do rounds. She explained that the Director
of Nursing (DON) normally does infection control rounds. The DON has been out from work for about 2
weeks on extended leave. She mentioned the environmental services manager is in charge of ensuring
infection control processes are followed when it comes to handling and laundering linen. The IP was asked
how the small functional washing machine in the shower room was being utilized. The IP was unable to
provide specific information regarding its use.
The housekeeper job description, undated, was reviewed. The section Purpose of Your Job Position
documented that the primary purpose of your job position is to perform the day-to-day activities of the
housekeeping department in accordance with current federal, state, and local standards, guidelines, and
regulations governing our facility, as may be directed by the Administrator and or the Director of
Housekeeping, to assure that our facilities are maintained in a clean safe and comfortable manner. Under
Housekeeping Services the document included:
-Perform day-to-day housekeeping functions
-Clean/polish furnishings, fixtures, ledges, room heating/cooling units etc., in resident rooms, recreational
areas etc. daily as instructed.
-Clean, wash, sanitize, and/or polish bathroom fixtures. Ensure that watermarks are removed from fixtures.
-Clean windows/mirrors in resident rooms, recreational areas, bathrooms, and entrance/exit ways.
-Clean floors to include sweeping, dusting, damp/wet mopping, stripping, waxing, buffing, disinfecting etc.
-Clean walls and ceilings by washing, wiping, dusting, spot cleaning, disinfecting deodorizing, etc.
-Remove dirt, dust, grease, film etc., from surfaces using proper cleaning/disinfecting solutions.
-Clean hallways and stairways.
Based on observations, resident interviews, family interviews, staff interviews, room check documentation
and the housekeeping job description, the facility failed to maintain a sanitary and orderly interior, and clean
linens that were in good condition. The facility failed to provide adequate housekeeping services to ensure
the daily cleaning of resident rooms throughout the facility. The lack of housekeeping services affected 13 of
26 sampled residents (#1, 2, 9, 10, 16, 19, 23, 30, 40, 45, 47, 54, and #211) plus 8 additional resident
rooms (341, 343, 345, 347, 349, 351, 353, and 355), the shower rooms in the 100 and 200 hallways and
the baseboards in the 300 hallway. This failure had the potential to affect all 68 residents at the time of the
survey.

Based on observations, resident interviews, staff interviews, and clinical record review, the facility failed to
implement the care plan for 2 of 2 sampled residents with Activity of Daily Living Care concerns (Resident
#9 and #45). The facility identified that resident #9 needed extensive assistance with transfers, ambulation,
dressing, toileting, and bathing. The facility failed to provide bathing in accordance with the resident's
abilities and preferences. The facility failed to assist with ambulation (walking) and transfers out of bed since
November 2023 for Resident #9. The resident was observed dressed in a hospital style gown. The facility
failed to provide timely incontinence care for 12 hours the evening/night of 1/31/24 into the morning of
2/1/24. The morning of 2/1/24, during incontinence care, a new buttocks wound was discovered for
Resident #9. The facility failed to provide wound care for 7 days in accordance with the care plan for
resident #45. The skin around the wound was missing and yellow exudate and redness were present.
The findings include:
Resident #9
A review of the care plan (last updated 12/6/2023) for Resident #9 was conducted. The care plan indicated
that Resident #9 needed extensive assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) transfers, ambulation,
locomotion, dressing, eating, toileting, personal hygiene, and bathing. Goals: The resident would not
develop complications related to ADL performance. Resident will maintain ADL self-performance levels as
evidenced by no decline in stated ADL levels through the next review date. Interventions: Staff will
encourage participation in care as appropriate. Staff will ensure all needs are met. Staff will ensure the
resident is dressed and groomed as appropriate. Staff will utilize task segmentation as indicated to help
improve participation in ADL performance. Staff will get the resident out of bed as tolerated. Staff will
encourage group exercises. The care plan indicated that Resident #9 was at risk for skin breakdown or
wounds related to decreased mobility and incontinence. Goal: Resident will be free from skin breakdown or
pressure by implementing prevention measures. Interventions: Completion of weekly skin assessments.
Report any changes in skin status. Staff will notify the nurse immediately of any new skin breakdown,
redness, bruises, blisters, or discoloration during daily care. Staff will assist to reposition or shift weight to
relieve pressure as needed. Staff will provide a pressure reduction mattress, provide incontinence care after
incontinent episodes, and apply barrier cream as needed. Staff was directed to assist the resident to avoid
prolonged periods of skin-to-skin contact.
On 1/29/24 at approximately 11:50 AM, Resident #9 was observed asleep in the bed. The bed was raised
all the way up to the highest position. Resident #9 was on a pressure reducing mattress with no sheet and
a grooved blanket under him. He had a patient gown on and the area around him smelled strongly of urine.
On 1/29/24 at approximately 2:50 PM, Resident #9 was awake. He had a patient gown on and smelled
strongly of urine. His bed did not have a sheet on it and he laid on a grooved blanket. An interview was
conducted with the resident. Resident #9 immediately said that he wanted to get up out of the bed to his
wheelchair. He explained that he has not seen his wheelchair for months and has been told that it is
missing. He said he cannot remember the last time he was out of bed, but that it was definitely more than 2
weeks ago. He explained that he asked his Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) if he could get up and walk

On 1/30/24 at approximately 9:18 AM, a follow up interview with Resident #9 occurred. He said that the
staff did not get him out of bed all day. He said he told CNA L that he wanted to get out of bed. CNA L never
came back to assist him out of bed. The resident explained that, if staff comes in and you are asleep, they
will mark that you refused to get out of bed. He indicated that if staff comes in and wants to get him up out
of bed and he asks to do it at a later time, they will also mark that he refused. Resident #9 indicated that he
wants to get up. He reports he can use a trapeze bar to move himself around in the bed and help staff
when they move him.
On 1/30/24 at approximately 4:00 PM, Resident #9 was in bed asleep.
On 1/31/24 at approximately 9:18 AM, Resident #9 stated that they did not get him out of bed yesterday.
On 1/31/24 at approximately 10:23 AM, an interview was conducted with Nurse B, an LPN, who was asked
why Resident #9 had not been out of bed all week. She explained that the resident is supposed to be
getting out of bed, but often refuses. The surveyor asked to observe treatment of his dressing and areas.
LPN B indicated that she would let the surveyor observe the application of Nystatin powder to his skin folds
as ordered on the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) and wound care. LPN B did not check into why
Resident #9 had not been assisted out of bed. She also did not contact the surveyor to conduct observation
of application of the Nystatin powder to the resident.
On 1/31/24 at approximately 10:30 AM, Staff F, a CNA, was notified that Resident #9 had been asking to
get out of bed since Monday 1/29/24 and that he said he wants to get up to his wheelchair now. CNA F said
therapy was supposed to work with him to get a new wheelchair because his knees don't bend and they
can't be placed on the foot rests. CNA F said, I can't put him in the wheelchair. It takes a Hoyer lift and two

On 2/1/24 at approximately 3:30 PM, an interview and medical record review was conducted with Nurse N,
the RN Unit Manager. She was notified that, during an observation of peri care at approximately 10:00 AM,
Resident #9 was noted to be soaked with urine and feces. The resident reported that he had not been
assisted with changing his brief since about 10:00 PM the night before (about 12 hours). A new open area
was found on his right outer buttock. Unit Manager N indicated that the area was a new open area. There
were no new orders, documentation, or care plan revision regarding the new open area on Resident #9's
buttocks. Unit Manager N indicated that the physician had not yet been notified. Unit Manager N explained
that Resident #9 has a history of getting open areas on his buttocks. She indicated that he does not like to
turn and often refuses. The surveyor asked Unit Manager N to point out where the care plan has been
updated to include that Resident #9 refuses to turn and get out of bed. Unit Manager N reviewed the plan
and stated she does not see refusals included on the care plan. Unit Manager N indicated that Resident #9
does not have much mobility. Unit Manager N was notified that an interview with several CNA staff revealed
that the last time he might have been gotten out of bed to the wheelchair was in November. Unit Manager N

put in his wheelchair since November 2023. Unit Manager N said she did not know why. She explained that
Nurse D, the Restorative LPN, used to get him up at least three times a week. She explained that Resident
#9 can be difficult at times. He becomes agitated and yells at the staff sometimes. Resident #9 has a
couple of days every month or so when he is more confused. Unit Manager N was asked if Resident #9 is
getting what he needs for his nursing care and psychosocial needs. The nurse indicated that the resident
was not getting his needs met. She indicated that the therapy department takes measurements and makes
decisions about the type of wheel chair. She indicated that if the facility had social services in place, there
might have been more assistance with the wheelchair.
A review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) information was conducted for Resident #9. On 12/7/23,
the resident's Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score was 12. Section F0500 of the MDS states that

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, staff interviews, and facility policy review, the facility failed to appropriately store
medications.
The findings include:
On 2/01/24 at 1:08 PM, an observation was conducted of the facility's 200 hallway. The hallway did not have
any rooms currently occupied by residents. There was a double door to access the hallway that was
unlocked. There were some cardboard boxes in the middle of the hallway. One of the boxes contained
dozens of bottles of various medications. (Photographic evidence was obtained)
On 2/01/24 at 04:48 PM, an interview was conducted with Staff N, a Registered Nurse (RN) and unit
manager. She stated all medications are securely stored inside the medication rooms or inside the
medication carts. At this point, RN N was made aware of the medications inside the box at 200 hallway. She
looked at the medication box and stated those were over the counter medications and should not be there.
On 2/01/24 at 5:59 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with the facility's Director of Nursing (DON).
During the interview, she was made aware of the medications stored in the 200 hallway and stated that

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, resident interview, staff interview and review of the 2022 Food Code from the United
States Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration, the facility failed to ensure chicken was
thoroughly cooked the evening of 1/31/24. This affected 5 observed dinner trays, including the tray served
to resident #9.
The findings include:
On 1/31/24 at approximately 6:00 PM, resident #35 requested the survey staff to view the chicken dinner
recently served to resident #9. Resident #35 stated that this is the crap food they serve us. An observation
of the dinner tray served to resident #9 found a significantly uncooked dark meat chicken quarter. The
chicken meat was pink to red and blood was visible. Staff AA, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was in
the room and observed to cover the tray. CNA AA confirmed that the chicken was completely raw and she
wouldn't eat it herself. Facility staff became alerted to the undercooked chicken, and began checking and
removing affected resident trays. Two additional resident trays with partially eaten food were observed, one
was returned to the tray care and the other was placed under a rolling table by the nurse's station on the
100 hall. On both trays, the chicken was visibly undercooked, pink to red in color, and still had some blood
on it. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 1/31/24 at approximately 6:22 PM, an interview with the Facility Administrator was conducted. The
Administrator stated she did not know how this could've happened. She stated it must have been only one
plate with raw chicken. When informed that more than one tray had been spotted by the survey team, the
Administrator cut open a small chicken wing to show us it was cooked properly. In the nursing station where
the interview was conducted, a dinner tray located at the bottom of a table was spotted. The tray contained
an uneaten piece of chicken, but the other food items had been consumed. The surveyor directed the
Administrator to the significantly undercooked chicken that was on the plate, and the Administrator stated
she did not know how that could have happened.
On 1/31/24 at 6:11 PM, an interview was held with Staff FF, a facility cook. When asked what the process is
to make sure chicken is cooked all the way, he stated he takes the temperature of all the big pieces. He
stated he did not know how this happened, he has received several plates back to cook longer. He also
stated that, when something is raw, he shuts down the line and cooks everything longer. When asked who
plated that night, he stated he did, but did not see the raw chicken. The surveyor asked [NAME] FF how this
could happen if he was checking the temperatures of all the larger chicken pieces? [NAME] FF replied that
someone must have grabbed a bag of frozen chicken and added it to the defrosted ones. The surveyor
asked, Who could have done that?, and [NAME] FF replied, no one, and that he was the only one that
defrosts frozen meats. [NAME] FF confirmed he was the only one plating food that night. The cooked food
temperature log from dinner was requested for review. [NAME] FF stated he did not have a temperature log
for the chicken. He stated that he tested it as he was plating, but he did not record it anywhere.
On 2/1/24 at 9:01 AM, the Facility Administrator provided a food temperature chart. When asked if she had
policies and procedures for the kitchen and food preparation, she stated that they did not have policies and
procedures related to the kitchen; however, she provided a temperature chart showing the safe cooking
temperatures of foods including chicken. When asked for the grievances regarding the raw chicken, she
stated her staff had chosen not to file any grievances.

A review of the 2022 Food Code, Recommendations of the United States Public Health Service Food and
Drug Administration. In the section about Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP), the Food Code
advises that Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter, as well as spore-formers, such as Bacillus cereus and
Clostridium perfringens, are significant biological hazards in chicken. The control measure used to kill
pathogens is cooking to the proper temperature. Chicken requires a final internal temperature of 165
degrees Fahrenheit to control the pathogen load for Salmonella spp. Monitoring activities need to be in
place to ensure Chicken cooked is to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Examples of monitoring activities include
visual observations and measurements of time and temperature. Monitoring the internal temperature of a
select number of chicken pieces immediately following the cook step would be an example of a monitoring
activity. Alternatively, the temperature of an oven or fryer and the time required to reach an internal
temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit could also be monitored.

Administer the facility in a manner that enables it to use its resources effectively and efficiently.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Based on observation of laundry storage and laundry procedures, staff interviews, review of the laundry
policy, review of laundry training, and review of job descriptions, the facility Administration failed to provide
oversight in a manner that enabled the facility to use its resources effectively and efficiently to attain or
maintain the highest practicable level of well-being for all 68 residents in the facility. Administrative staff
failed to ensure that essential equipment, washing machines, were in working order and facility textiles and
resident clothes were stored, sorted, processed and transported in a manner to prevent
cross-contamination in accordance with facility policy. The facility failed to ensure that the facility Infection
Preventionist had oversight of the laundry procedures. The facility failed to update their laundry procedures
to ensure hygienic laundry after both facility washing machines failed, and the facility made the
determination to utilize a local laundromat.
Residents Affected - Many
The facility had 2 commercial grade washing machines, one broke in December 2022 and the second
broke on or before November 2023 (exact date could not be determined). Soiled laundry (linens, towels,
resident clothing, mop heads, rags etc) was being transported to a local laundromat in a pick-up truck bed.
Soiled linens were visibly contaminated with feces and urine. The laundromat used both large capacity front
loading washing machines and typical household style top-loading washing machines. No information was
provided that the washing machines had an extractor (device that removes larger debris). The facility ran
out of commercial laundry detergent on 1/28/24 and was observed to be substituting consumer products.
The wet laundry was placed in clear plastic bags and transported back to the facility in the same vehicle
where it remained bagged until a dryer was available, often the next day. Clean wet linen was observed
stored in containers labeled for soiled linen on the clean side of the laundry room (by the dryers). Clean wet
linen was also observed in clear bags stored outside on facility grounds. Cross reference to F867, F880,
F908 and F945.
This situation resulted in a finding of Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of widespread, (L). The
facility's Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 2/02/2024 at 5:20 PM. The Immediate
Jeopardy was determined to have begun on 2/01/2024. At the time of the survey exit on 2/02/2024, the
Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing.
The findings include:
Previous Complaint Survey from 2/2/2023 [refer to the Statement of Deficiencies, Form CMS-2567, Survey
Event ID # 8Q7X11]:
During a previous complaint survey conducted on 1/31/23 through 2/2/23, the facility was cited for
noncompliance at F584 for a lack of available linen supply. During the survey, observations of the linen
supply closets on 1/31/23 at approximately 11:05 AM found no clean sheets, washcloths, or towels
available. Interviews with 4 staff members and 5 residents identified a lack of linens as a concern. On
1/31/23 at approximately 11:18 AM, the Environmental Services Director stated the facility had 1 out of 2
washing machines not functioning. She stated that the facility had ordered parts for the machine. During a
follow up interview on 1/31/23 at approximately 11:51 AM, the Environmental Services Director stated the
washing machine had not been functional since about the last week of December 2022. See Statement of
Deficiencies Form CMS-2567, Survey Event ID # 8Q7X11 dated 2/2/2023.

On 1/29/24 at 4:11 PM, an interview was conducted with the Administrator. She stated the PBJ was not
submitted appropriately. She further stated that it was not possible that the facility did not have an RN or
Licensed Nursing coverage from 7/1/23 until 9/16/23.
On 2/02/24 at 2:49 PM, a follow up interview was conducted with the Administrator. She stated the PBJ was
not properly filled out because the previous owner would not provide the data to the new company's
corporate office and would disregard corporate requests.

Residents Affected - Many
Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on observation, staff interviews, resident interviews, and quality assurance performance
improvement plan (QAPI) review, the facility failed to develop and implement appropriate plans of action to
correct identified quality deficiencies related to ensuring an adequate supply of clean linens was readily
available for resident use and care; ongoing housekeeping and maintenance issues throughout the facility;
maintaining essential equipment (washing machines) in good operating order; and infection control
processes and training related to laundry processing. Concerns were previously identified with clean linen
availability, broken laundry equipment and the QAPI processes during a complaint investigation ending a
year ago on 2/02/2023 [refer to the Statement of Deficiencies, Form CMS-2567, Survey Event ID #
8Q7X11. Citations were issued at F584 (Environment) and F867 (QAPI).
The facility had 2 commercial grade washing machines, one broke in December 2022 and the second
broke on or before November 2023 (exact dates could not be determined). Soiled laundry (linens, towels,
resident clothing, mop heads, rags etc) was being transported to a local laundromat in a pick-up truck bed.
Soiled linens were visibly soiled contaminated with feces and urine. The laundromat used both large
capacity front loading washing machines and typical household style top-loading washing machines. No
information was provided that the washing machines had an extractor (device that removes larger debris).
The facility ran out of commercial laundry detergent on 1/28/24 and was observed to be substituting
consumer products. The wet laundry was placed in clear plastic bags and transported back to the facility in
the same vehicle where it remained bagged until a dryer was available, often the next day. Clean wet linen
was observed stored in containers labeled for soiled linen on the clean side of the laundry room (by the
dryers). Clean wet linen was also observed in clear bags stored outside on facility grounds. Cross reference
to F835, F880, F908 and F945.
This situation resulted in a finding of Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of widespread, (L). The
facility's Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 2/02/2024 at 5:20 PM. The Immediate
Jeopardy was determined to have begun on 2/01/2024. At the time of the survey exit on 2/02/2024, the
Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing.
The findings include:
Previous Complaint Survey from 2/2/2023 [refer to the Statement of Deficiencies, Form CMS-2567, Survey
Event ID # 8Q7X11]:
During a previous complaint survey conducted on 1/31/23 through 2/2/23, the facility was cited for
noncompliance at F584 and F867 for a lack of available linen supply due in part to broken laundry
equipment. During the survey, observations of the linen supply closets on 1/31/23 at approximately 11:05
AM found no clean sheets, washcloths, or towels available. Interviews with 4 staff members and 5 residents
identified a lack of linens as a concern. On 1/31/23 at approximately 11:18 AM, the Environmental Services
Director stated the facility had 1 out of 2 washing machines not functioning. She stated that the facility had
ordered parts for the machine. During a follow-up interview on 1/31/23 at approximately 11:51 AM, the
Environmental Services Director stated the washing machine had not been functional since about the last
week of December 2022. The administrator at that time stated that parts were ordered for the broken
washing machine on 1/9/2023. See Statement of Deficiencies Form CMS-2567 dated 2/02/2023, Survey
Event ID #8Q7X11. As of the current survey ending 2/02/2024, the facility was unable to provide evidence
that the washing machine has been fixed or functioning since December 2022.

During the initial tour, 4 residents were observed without pillowcases on their pillows and 2 without sheets
on their bed. Cleanliness and maintenance issues were identified in numerous resident rooms, 3 residents
and/or family members described laundry concerns (cross reference F908, F584 and F880). Both facility
washing machines had been broken since at least November 2023, and the facility was transporting soiled
laundry to a local laundromat and then transporting the clean, wet linen back to the facility for drying (cross
reference F908). An observation of laundry processes on 2/1/2024 beginning at 10:21 AM, which found the
laundry area disorganized and evidence of cross contamination was observed. Some of the concerns
included soiled linen piled on the concrete floor and in bags in both the soiled area and outside on the
grounds. Clean wet linens were bagged up and placed in bins labeled Soiled Linen, and piled outside on a
wooden pallet awaiting to be dried (cross reference F880). A lack of staff training related to laundry
procedures was identified (cross reference F945).
Residents Affected - Many
On 02/02/24 at 1:29 PM, an interview regarding Quality Assurance and Program Improvement (QAPI)
processes was conducted with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON), who stated the QAPI
team meets quarterly and as needed, with the most recent meeting on 1/16/24. The sign in sheet was
provided. The Administrator stated the Maintenance and Housekeeping staff responsible for laundry attend
each meeting as well.
When asked how the QAPI process is implemented in order to resolve an issue, the DON stated they do ad
hoc QAPI meetings and create a performance improvement plan, and the plan stays open until the issue is
resolved. The DON stated if the issue is not resolved, then they add additional interventions and extend the
date of completion. The QAPI team was asked what has been done to address the issue of not having
laundry services available in the building. The staff replied that the facility has hired additional laundry staff
and created a different drop time schedule so they could provide linen at different times throughout the day.
She stated they do audits of laundry in the clean linen room as to what linens are available and
communicate with the Environmental Director, who tells us what she ordered as far as linens each month
and orders more. The QAPI team was asked about the issues with washing the linens, and they replied that
they have been working with corporate to get the part for the washer that has been broken for over a year
and have finally purchased a refurbished washing machine to replace the second and final washer. In the
meantime, they have been transporting the clothes and linens to the local laundromat. The QAPI team was
asked to provide evidence that the laundry issues had been discussed in QAPI since December 2022. The
Administrator stated that the previous owner would not cooperate with purchasing the equipment or share
any information related to previous QAPI meetings/discussions. The Administrator was asked about the
part for Washer 1 that was supposed to arrive back in December 2023; the Administrator replied that the
wrong part arrived and they had to again order the correct part, which still has not been delivered.
The Administrator provided meeting minutes from 1/16/24, which revealed the QAPI team discussed linen
inventory, were notified by Corporate that the washing machine was ordered and a check was cut on
1/15/24 for the new machine. There were no other details about the status of the washing machine
purchase and the purchase of the part for the first washer that had been inoperable since December 2022.
Review of the invoice dated 1/15/24 revealed a Certified Used Washer was purchased for $6989.99 with
anticipated deliver in February 2024. Review of an email dated 11/30/23 at 9:19 AM revealed order
#1000729908 for the part to fix Washer 1 was paid via credit card in the amount of $1596.45 with an
expected delivery between 12/11/23 and 12/18/23. This part had not yet arrived. The Administrator and
DON confirmed the QAPI process for ensuring the laundry equipment was addressed failed.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Based on observation of laundry storage and laundry procedures, staff interviews, review of facility laundry
policy, facility laundry inservices, and a review of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, the
facility failed to ensure that facility textiles and resident clothes were stored, sorted, processed and
transported in a manner to prevent cross-contamination in accordance with facility policy and
recommendations by the CDC. The facility failed to ensure that the facility's Infection Preventionist had
oversight of the laundry procedures. The facility failed to update their laundry procedures to ensure hygienic
laundry after both facility washing machines failed, and the facility made the determination to utilize a local
laundromat. This failure had the potential to affect all 68 residents at the time of the survey. Additionally, the
facility failed to ensure appropriate infection control practices were followed for 1 of 1 fingerstick blood
glucose checks observed (Resident #10).
Residents Affected - Many
The facility had 2 commercial grade washing machines, one which became non-functional in December
2022 and the second which became non-functional in November 2023. Soiled laundry (linens, towels,
resident clothing, mop heads, rags, etc.) were observed being transported to a local laundromat in the bed
of a pick up truck. Soiled linens were visibly contaminated with feces and urine. The laundromat had both
large capacity front loading washing machines and typical household style top loading washing machines.
No information was provided that the washing machines had an extractor (device that removes larger
debris). The facility ran out of commercial laundry detergent on 1/28/24 and was observed to be substituting
consumer household-grade products. The wet laundry was placed in clear plastic bags and transported
back to the facility in the same vehicle where it remained bagged until a dryer was available, often the next
day. Clean wet linen was observed stored in containers labeled for soiled linen on the clean side of the
laundry room (by the dryers). Clean wet linen was also observed in clear bags stored outside on facility
grounds.
The laundry situation resulted in a finding of Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of widespread,
(L). The facility's Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 2/02/2024 at 5:20 PM. The
Immediate Jeopardy was determined to have begun on 2/01/2024. At the time of the survey exit on
2/02/2024, the Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing. Cross reference to F835, F867, F908 and F945.
The findings include:
On 1/29/24 at approximately 12:10 PM, during the initial facility tour, soiled wet towels were observed on
the floor in the shower room. The shower room was not in use at the time. (Photographic evidence
obtained)
On 1/29/24 at approximately 12:42 PM, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Supervisor, who
stated that facility textiles and resident laundry was being processed at a local laundromat [by facility staff].
He stated that this has been going on for a long time, at least 3 months. He stated that he has been helping
with processing laundry on the weekends. He stated, It is disgusting but it has to be done. The Maintenance
Supervisor indicated that they had been waiting for an ordered part to arrive for about 9 months for a
washer. When the second machine went out about November of 2023, the facility was left with no operating
washing machines. The surveyor asked how he ensured that the laundry is properly cleaned. The
Maintenance Supervisor explained that the laundry gets washed. He did not express any knowledge of
chemical detergents or water temperature requirements for properly laundering resident clothing and
linens.

On 1/31/24 at approximately 11:00 AM, an interview was conducted with an anonymous direct care staff
member. The employee indicated that she did not want her name to be revealed due to fear of retaliation.
She indicated that the linen supplies at the facility have been inadequate. Frequently there are piles of
soiled linens waiting to be washed and left-over wet linens waiting to be dried. She indicated that laundry is
not processed after 6:00 PM. The facility often runs out of linen on a daily basis and it has been a problem
for months.
Residents Affected - Many
On 2/1/24 at approximately 10:00 AM, during a resident care observation, staff did not have a clean fitted
sheet to apply to the bed for Resident #9. The surveyor followed Licensed Practical Nurse D (LPN D) to
each of the two indoor laundry storage rooms. Each of the 2 indoor clean linen storage areas had very little
clean laundry available. The shelves were mostly bare and there were no fitted sheets in any of the indoor
storage areas to apply to Resident #9's bed.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 10:21 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) F then escorted the surveyor
outside of the facility to check for clean linen in the facility laundry room. Laundry Worker A was observed
sitting on a bucket sorting loose linen that was saturated with urine and feces. The linen was piled on the
concrete floor in the soiled linen room. Laundry Worker A was wearing gloves, but had no other personal
protective equipment (PPE) over her clothing. There was another large pile of resident clothes mixed with
soiled linen lying on the concrete floor in the corner behind Laundry Worker A and 4 bags of soiled linen in
front of her. There was a portable rack that had both hanging clothes and partially folded clothes in an
attached metal linen basket in the soiled laundry room. The hanging and partially folded clothes were clean.
The small sink in the room was surrounded by laundry and inaccessible for handwashing. Used gloves
were laying on the concrete floor next to the soiled laundry. Outside of the soiled laundry room there were 2
bins labeled soiled laundry containing bags of soiled laundry. There were 11 clear garbage bags of soiled
laundry on the ground extending out the open laundry door to the outdoors. Also outdoors, approximately 8
bags containing clean wet linen were observed stacked on a wooden pallet. Additional unbagged linens
were observed on top of the bagged linen. There was a broom and a trashcan lid resting on the linen, a box
of clean gloves sitting on the pallet and 2 used gloves on the ground next to the pallet along with multiple
tree leaves. (photographic evidence obtained)
The Environmental Services Manager was in the area at the time of the laundry room observation, and an
interview was conducted during the observation. She explained that they had been transporting the laundry
to the laundromat in the back of a pickup truck that was parked nearby. The pickup truck bed was observed
with dirt and debris, used gloves and had multiple bottles of Tide Simply All in One and household bleach
containers. Some of the chemical containers were empty. The Environmental Services Manager explained
that the washers have not been working at the facility for several months. She indicated that the facility has
had trouble maintaining both washers and dryers over the past year. Since the washers broke, they have
been taking laundry to the local public laundromat to wash. The facility will then bring the wet laundry back
to the facility to dry 7 days a week. The Environmental Services Manager explained that they ran out of
commercial laundry detergent on 1/28/24. They have since been using 1/2 cup of Tide [detergent] and 1/2
cup of bleach per load in the washers at the laundromat. She was unable to verbalize how those amounts
were determined. She indicated that the laundromat washers might have a 35-gallon capacity. The surveyor
asked if the facility has run out of commercial detergent and laundry sanitizer in the past. The
Environmental Services Manager replied yes, and stated they have had to utilize the Tide and bleach in the
past when they had run out of commercial detergent and sanitizer. She was asked to describe the type and
capacity of the washers at the laundromat. The manager was unable to provide specific information
regarding type, manufacture, or recommendations for detergent

On 2/1/24 at Approximately 10:29 AM, when the surveyor entered the clean side of the laundry area where
the dryers were located, there were 4 bins of wet laundry waiting to be dried. The bins were labeled Soiled
Linen. Clean and dry linen and clothes were being sorted and folded in the same room where these 4 bins
were located. The surveyor asked how long those linens have been waiting to be dried. The Environmental
Services Manager said they were left over from yesterday at approximately 6:00 PM. Clean resident clothes
were folded and sorted on a table that did not have a barrier present. Outside the laundry area, there was a
bin marked trash stored next to a cart where clean dry resident clothes were stored. Tree leaves were
observed to be underneath the linen. (Photographic evidence was obtained)
Residents Affected - Many
On 2/1/24 at about 1:20 PM, the surveyor observed the washed wet bagged laundry loaded in the back of
the same pickup truck upon return from the laundromat. There was no indication that the bed of the truck
had been cleaned after the soiled linen was transported and before the wet washed laundry was loaded.
The bed of the truck appeared the same as the prior observation, with dirt, debris, and empty bleach and
detergent containers. The Environmental Services Manager was asked about cleaning the truck bed. She
indicated that they are wiping out the truck bed using a small bottle of Broadside sanitizer spray. The
Environmental Services Manager was asked to provide a list of employees that were assisting with
processing laundry. She explained that she, Laundry Worker A, Maintenance Worker K, and the
Maintenance Supervisor were assisting with transporting and processing soiled linens at the laundromat.
The Environmental Services Manager was asked to provide evidence of training for the employees who
were processing laundry for the facility.
Evidence of a flash in-service training entitled Infection Control in Laundry dated 4/17/23 (several months
before the facility was using the local laundromat) was provided. The accompanying training materials were
based on CDC guidance. Three employees signed that they completed the training. Laundry Worker A,
another employee who was no longer employed, and Housekeeping Staff Member P were listed as
attending these inservices. Maintenance Worker K and the Maintenance Supervisor did not sign that they
had received the training. Per the in-service materials, to prevent microbial contamination of laundry
equipment staff should:
-remove solids such as feces or vomit before the wash/dry cycle.
-follow manufacturer recommended temperature, detergent and laundry additive guidelines.
-do not leave damp textiles in machines overnight.
The inservice advised that a temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 25 minutes
was commonly recommended for washing laundry. Chlorine bleach becomes activated at water
temperatures of 135-145 degrees Fahrenheit.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 2:30 PM, during a second interview with the Maintenance Supervisor, he
indicated that he had training regarding processing laundry but could not recall exactly when the training
occurred or give details related to the training.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 3:00 PM, an interview was completed with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IP).
She was asked if she does infection prevention rounds around the facility to ensure compliance with
infection control processes. The IP explained that she does not do rounds. She explained that

the Director of Nursing (DON) normally does infection control rounds. The DON has been out from work for
several weeks on extended leave. She mentioned the Environmental Services Manager was in charge of
ensuring infection control processes are followed when it comes to handling and laundering linen. She was
asked how long the facility has had trouble with the laundry equipment. The IP indicated that the facility has
had trouble with laundry equipment for over a year. First the dryers were broken and now the washers were
not working. She was asked if anyone has made her aware that the facility is out of commercial laundry
detergent. The IP indicated that she had not been notified and was not aware. She indicated that there was
one small household sized functional washer in the shower room that was purchased previously and she
did not know how the washer was currently being utilized. She was asked if anyone at the Health
Department was notified that the facility was laundering their textiles and resident clothing at a local
laundromat. She reported that the health department had not been notified.
The IP nurse was also asked who was responsible for providing education regarding handling laundry. The
Infection Control Nurse indicated that she was unsure who did the training, but it was probably the
Environmental Services Supervisor. The IP nurse was shown images of bins labeled soiled linen which
contained clean wet laundry that had waited all night before being placed in dryers. The Infection Control
Nurse indicated that clean linen should never be stored in bins that are labeled soiled linen and that clean
linen should be processed in an area that does not contain contaminated laundry.
An interview was conducted with the facility Administrator on 2/1/24 at approximately 3:42 PM. She stated
she started working at the facility in December of 2023. The washing machines were not working when she
started the position. She stated that parts were ordered. She was unable to verbalize when the second
washer broke.
On 2/1/24, a review of the Laundry Services Policy (dated 12/8/23) was conducted. The policy stated soiled
and clean linen should be separated at all times. The policy directed staff not to place clean linen in
contaminated areas or transport clean linen in containers designated for soiled linen. The policy directed
staff to wash their hands after handling soiled linen and before handling clean linen. Staff should consider
all soiled linen to be potentially infectious and handle it with standard precautions. All soiled linen should be
placed directly into covered containers designated for soiled linen. Handle soiled linen as little as possible
and prevent agitation. Employees sorting or washing linen must wear a gown and gloves. The policy
directed employees to not leave damp linen in laundry machines overnight. The policy recommended that
staff follow manufacturer instructions (instructions from equipment, detergent, rinses etc.) for all laundry
processing. The policy directed staff to keep soiled and clean linen and their respective hampers and
laundry carts separated at all times. Mops are to be washed separately from linens and kept in separate
laundry carts. Staff processing clean linens were directed to place a barrier on the sorting folding table
before placing any clean linen or clothing items.
The laundry services policy did not address any procedures regarding utilizing the local laundromat.
On 2/1/24 a review of the job description for laundry services workers, undated, was conducted. The job
description stated that laundry workers should participate in an in-service training program prior to
performing tasks that involve potential exposure to blood, body fluids, or hazardous chemicals.

A review of the Infection Control Guidelines policy, dated April 2013, was conducted. The policy directed
staff members to wear personal protective equipment as necessary to prevent exposure to body fluids and
other potentially infectious materials.
A review of Policies and Practices-Infection Control (dated October 2018) was conducted. The policy
indicated that infection control policies and practices apply equally to all personnel. Objectives of infection
control policies and practices are to prevent, detect, and control infections in the facility and maintain a safe
sanitary and comfortable environment for personnel residents visitors and the general public. The policy
stated that all personnel with be trained on infection control policies and practices upon hire and
periodically thereafter including where and how to find and use pertinent procedures and equipment related
to infection control. The depth of employee training shall be appropriate to the degree of resident contact
and job responsibilities. The administrator or governing board, through Quality Assurance and Performance
Improvement and the Infection Control Committee, has adopted the infection control policies and practices.
Inquiries concerning infection control policies or facility practices should be referred to the Infection
Preventionist or the Director of Nursing Services.
A review was conducted of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) laundry guidelines,
Appendix D - Linen and laundry management, accessed on 2/2/24.
https://www.cdc.gov/hai/prevent/resource-limited/laundry.html. Under the section, Best practices for linen
(and laundry) handling:
-If there is any solid excrement on the linen, such as feces or vomit, scrape it off carefully with a flat, firm
object and put it in the commode or designated toilet/latrine before putting linen in the designated container.
-The effectiveness of the laundering process depends on many factors, including: time and temperature;
mechanical action; water quality (pH, hardness); volume of the load; extent of soiling
model/availability of commercial washers and dryers
-Always use and maintain laundry equipment according to manufacturer's instructions.
-Best practices for personal protective equipment (PPE) for laundry staff:
a. Practice hand hygiene before application and after removal of PPE.
b. Wear tear-resistant reusable rubber gloves when handling and laundering soiled linens.
c. If there is risk of splashing, for example, if laundry is washed by hand, laundry staff should always wear
gowns or aprons and face protection (e.g., face shield, goggles) when laundering soiled linens.
Best practices for laundering soiled linen:
a. Follow instructions from the washer/dryer manufacturer.
b. Use hot water (70-80°C for 10 minutes) [158-176°F]) and an approved laundry detergent.
c. Disinfectant are generally not needed when soiling is at low levels.

Blood Glucose Monitoring:
On 1/30/24 at 11:30 AM, Registered Nurse O (RN O) was observed performing a blood glucose check on
Resident #10. RN O was observed washing her hands, then touching the bathroom door and then donning
gloves. After gloves were donned, RN O touched the diabetic flow sheet, gathered alcohol wipes,
glucometer strip, gauze and lancet, and placed them on top of a paper towel. She wiped the glucometer
with disinfectant wipes, placed the glucometer on top of the paper towel, and then used gauze to dry the
glucometer within a few seconds of wiping the glucometer with the disinfectant. She doffed gloves, followed
by donning new gloves and grabbed the glucometer, alcohol wipe, lancet and glucometer strip. She entered
the resident's room and placed the glucometer on the resident's bed cover.
On 01/30/24 at 11:40 AM, an interview was conducted with RN O regarding infection control concerns
observed during the blood glucose check. RN O stated she should have been careful not to touch the
bathroom door after washing her hands, or wash her hands again before donning gloves. She further stated
she should have left the glucometer air dry instead of using the gauze and she should have not left the
glucometer on top of the resident's bed cover, instead, she should have used a clean surface.
A review of disinfectant product instruction found a recommended 3 minute wet contact time.
A review of the facility's skill competency assessment for glucometer, undated, stated to inspect, clean and
disinfect the glucometer utilizing disinfectant wipe per manufactures recommended wet time.

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
Based on observations, resident interviews, staff interviews, ombudsman interview, and review of facility
provided documentation, the facility failed to maintain 2 of 2 laundry washing machines in good repair. Both
of the facility washing machines have been non-functional since at least November 2023 (exact date could
not be determined). The first washing machine became non-functional in the month of December 2022
(exact date could not be determined) and remained broken. Staff were unable to demonstrate the specific
date the second washing machine broke. Invoices indicated that parts were ordered both in September
2023 and November 2023. Observations found a lack of readily available linens in 2 of 2 linen closets,
resident beds with missing sheets and pillowcases, residents observed without a change of clothing in their
closets, and residents wearing hospital gowns. This failure had the potential to affect all 68 residents
residing in the facility at the time of the survey.
Residents Affected - Many
Due to the lack of washing machines, facility staff were transporting soiled laundry to a local laundromat for
washing, then bringing the wet laundry back to dry. However, not all the wet laundry could be dried at once,
so some of the clean wet laundry was stored wet, often overnight. The laundry was not being handled,
stored, processed, and transported in a manner to prevent the spread of infection. Soiled laundry was
observed on the ground and in bins in facility shower rooms and in the dirty side of the laundry room. Soiled
laundry was also observed in clear plastic bags in both the laundry room and outside on facility grounds
waiting transport to the laundromat. Soiled linens were visibly contaminated with feces and urine. Washed
linen was placed in clear plastic bags for transport back to the facility for drying. The bags of wet washed
linen were observed inside containers labeled for soiled linen on the clean side of the laundry room (by the
dryers). Clean wet linen was also observed in clear bags stored outside on facility grounds.
The lack of washing machines has affected the quality of life for residents, in that they have to wear hospital
gowns and/or the same personal clothing on repeated days because their personal clothing has not
returned from the laundry timely. Additionally, the residents showering frequency was affected by the
availability of clean linens in the facility.
This situation resulted in a finding of Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of widespread, (L). The
facility's Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 2/02/2024 at 5:20 PM. The Immediate
Jeopardy was determined to have begun on 2/01/2024. At the time of the survey exit on 2/02/2024, the
Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing. Cross reference to F835, F867, F880 and F945.
The findings include:
Previous Complaint Survey from 2/2/2023 [refer to the Statement of Deficiencies, Form CMS-2567, Survey
Event ID # 8Q7X11]:
During a previous complaint survey conducted on 1/31/23 through 2/2/23, the facility was cited at for
noncompliance at F584 for a lack of available linen supply. During the survey, observations of the linen
supply closets on 1/31/23 at approximately 11:05 AM found no clean sheets, washcloths, or towels
available. Interviews with 4 staff members and 5 residents identified a lack of linens as a concern. On
1/31/23 at approximately 11:18 AM, the Environmental Services Director stated the facility had 1 out of 2
washing machines not functioning. She stated that the facility had ordered parts for the machine. During a
follow up interview on 1/31/23 at approximately 11:51 AM, the Environmental Services Director stated the
washing machine had not been functional since about the last week of December 2022. See survey

Current Survey, 2/2/2024:
Residents Affected - Many
On 1/29/24 between 11:15 AM and 11:50 AM, during an initial tour of the facility, linen issues were
observed. Resident #54 had no pillowcase on the pillow, and the pillow fabric cover was shredded. Resident
#16's bed sheet appeared dirty with a grainy like matter and there was no pillowcase on the pillow. Resident
#30 had a pillow without a pillowcase. Resident #45 had no pillowcases on the pillows. Residents #1, #9,
and #211 were observed to be wearing hospital style gowns. Resident #9 preferred to wear their own
clothing; however, their personal clothes were not returned from the laundry. Additionally, Resident #9 had
no pillowcases on his pillows and no bottom sheet on his bed. Instead, Resident #9, who had a history of
pressure ulcers, was observed laying on top of a blanket without bed sheets on the bed. Resident #211 had
no sheets on their bed. During the observations, a resident in the hallway could be heard asking staff if
today was the day that he could wash his clothes, and a staff member was heard asking another staff
member if they would go check in the outside storage area to bring in more sheets.
On 1/29/24 at 12:00 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #46. She stated her only concern was
related to the non-functional washing machines. She further stated sometimes it took 10 days to get back
her clothes and, because of that, she had to wear the same clothes a couple of extra days.
On 1/29/24 at approximately 12:42 PM, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Supervisor. He
indicated that facility textiles and resident laundry was being processed at a local laundromat [by facility
staff]. He mentioned that he has been helping with processing laundry on the weekends, and that the task
is disgusting but has to be done. He indicated that the facility has had issues with processing laundry for a
long time, at least 3 months, ever since the only remaining working washing machine went down. Prior to
this, the facility had another washing machine that went down, and they had been waiting on a part they
ordered to arrive for about 9 months. When the second machine went out, the facility was left with no
operating washing machine, since about November of 2023.
On 1/29/24 at approximately 2:50 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #9, who had been
observed during the initial tour. Resident #9 continued to have a blanket under him instead of a sheet, and
he was wearing a hospital gown. Resident #9 stated that the facility often runs out of sheets. He said the
church gave him sheets to use, but the facility does not keep up with laundry. He indicated that he does not
like wearing the gown and wanted staff to assist him to change into his clothes.
The next day, on 1/30/24 at approximately 10:00 AM, Residents #1, #9, and #211 were again observed
wearing hospital gowns. Residents #9 stated he preferred to wear his own clothing; however, his personal
clothes had not returned from the laundry.
On 1/31/24 at 9:34 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff B, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). She
stated she had concerns about the lack of linens. She states it had been going on for a long time.
On 1/31/24 at 9:49 AM, an interview was conducted with Staff N, a Registered Nurse (RN). She stated the
facility had been saying they were going to fix the washing machines before the new company took over,
but it was not being done. She further stated it used to take 3 days to turn around laundry and now was 1 to
2 weeks.

On 1/31/24 at approximately 11:00 AM, an interview was conducted with an anonymous direct care staff
member. The employee indicated that she did not want her name to be revealed due to fear of retaliation.
She indicated that the linen supplies at the facility have been inadequate. Frequently there are piles of
soiled linens waiting to be washed and left-over wet linens waiting to be dried. She indicated that laundry is
not processed after 6:00 PM. The facility often runs out of linen on a daily basis and it has been a problem
for months.
Residents Affected - Many
On 01/31/24 at approximately 2:30 PM, an interview was conducted with the significant other of Resident
#211. She was asked if the resident preferred to wear a patient gown. She indicated that he prefers to wear
his own clothing. The surveyor inquired about the pillows without pillowcases and mattress without a sheet
on it. Resident #211's significant other indicated that the facility has seemed to be short on linen since he
was admitted about 3 weeks earlier.
On 1/31/24 at approximately 4:50 PM, neither Residents #23 nor Resident #47 had a change of clothes
available in their wardrobes. On 2/1/24 at approximately 9:00 AM, Residents #23 and #47 were observed
wearing the same clothes as the previous day.
On 2/1/2024 at 7:44 AM, the local Long Term Care Ombudsman reported laundry issues at the facility
during visits on 1/5/2024 and 1/11/2024. During the visit on 1/05/2024, Resident #13 reported that the
facility did not have enough clean linens. Resident #13 reported that the lack of linens was reducing the
number of showers, and caused issues getting back to bed because they had to wait on linens. During her
visit of 1/05/2024, the Ombudsman assisted Resident #13 in filing a grievance. During a follow-up visit on
1/11/2024, neither the Administrator nor the Director of Nursing could find the grievance, so the
Ombudsman assisted Resident #13 on completing them a second time.
On 2/01/24 at 9:24 AM, two days after the initial tour, Resident #16 was again observed to have pillows
without pillowcases and Resident #45 had 2 pillows placed on top of a wheelchair without pillowcases.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 10:00 AM during a resident care observation, staff did not have a clean fitted
sheet to apply to the bed for Resident #9. The surveyor followed Licensed Practical Nurse D (LPN D) to
each of the two indoor laundry storage rooms. Each of the 2 indoor clean linen storage areas had very little
clean linens available. The first indoor storage room had about 4 bed pads, three top sheets, 3 bed
spreads, 15 towels, 1 patient gown and a stack of wash cloths. The other indoor linen storage area had
about 5 patient gowns, about 30 towels, three bed spreads, 1 stack of bed pads and about 15 flat sheets.
The shelves were mostly bare and there were no fitted sheets in any of the indoor storage areas to apply to
Resident #9's bed. (photographic evidence obtained).
An interview was conducted with the facility Administrator on 2/1/24 at approximately 3:42 PM. She stated
she started working at the facility on December of 2023. The washing machines were not working when she
started the position. She stated that parts were ordered. The Administrator was unable to provide exact
dates for when each washer became non-functional. She was asked to provide dates that machines broke
along with invoices regarding repairs.
The Administrator provided some emails indicating the status of machine part orders. The first email was
dated 9/21/23 to the previous administrator stating a screen kit, washer extractor keyboard, mini switch,
microswitch drive and a fuse had been delivered. On 10/9/23 there is an email indicating that a 3-inch drain
valve was shipped to the facility. An email on 11/14/23 indicating parts on backorder. There was also an
invoice for a certified used washer ordered on 1/15/24.

Based on observations, resident and family interviews and staff interviews, the facility failed to maintain an
effective pest control program.
The findings include:
On 1/29/24 at approximately 11:30 AM, Resident #10 was interviewed. The resident stated that she saw the
large kind of roaches in her room last night.
On 1/29/24 at approximately 1:00 PM, an interview was conducted with Resident #40. He complaint of
seeing roaches in his room all the time. He indicated that someone comes out to spray, but stated that the
man who comes out to spray never comes into resident rooms when he is here.
On 01/30/24 at 09:23 AM, a roach was observed in room [ROOM NUMBER].
An interview was conducted immediately with staff BB, a certified nursing assistant (CNA), who was in the
room at the time. When asked if she sees roaches often, CNA BB replied, Roaches are a common problem
here. CNA BB also stated that roaches are seen daily. Per CNA BB, housekeeping has just three
employees, and they cannot keep up. She also stated, I clean every day because the residents deserve
better, I can't just walk away from a room that is filthy or let them use a restroom that has urine on the floor.

Include as part of its infection prevention and control program, mandatory training that includes written
standards, policies, and procedures for the program.
Based on observation of laundry storage and laundry procedures, staff interviews, review of facility laundry
policy, and facility laundry staff training, the facility failed to ensure that staff were trained in infection control
processes related to the laundering of linens and resident clothing to prevent cross-contamination. Both of
the facility laundry machines (2 of 2) have been non-functional since at least November 2023. Facility staff
are transporting soiled laundry to a local laundromat for washing, then bringing the wet laundry back to dry.
However, not all the wet laundry could be dried at once, so some of the clean wet laundry was stored wet,
often overnight. The laundry was not being handled, stored, processed, or transported, in a manner to
prevent the spread of infection. On 2/1/2024, clean wet linens were observed in clear plastic bags that were
stored inside bins labeled Soiled Linen and clean wet linens were observed outside stacked on a wooden
pallet. Dirty linens were observed on the floor in both a shower room, and piled on the floor on the dirty side
of the laundry room, and in clear bags both inside the laundry room and outside on the facility grounds
awaiting transport to the laundromat. The facility failed to ensure that the facility Infection Preventionist had
oversight and provided training for laundry procedures. This failure had the potential to affect all 68
residents at the time of the survey.
This situation resulted in a finding of Immediate Jeopardy at a scope and severity of widespread, (L). The
facility's Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 2/02/2024 at 5:20 PM. The Immediate
Jeopardy was determined to have begun on 2/01/2024. At the time of the survey exit on 2/02/2024, the

On 1/29/24 at approximately 12:10 PM, soiled wet towels were observed on the floor in the shower room.
The shower room was not in use at the time. (Photographic evidence obtained)
On 1/29/24 at approximately 12:42 PM, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Supervisor who

washer. When the second machine went out, the facility was left with no operating washing machine since
about November 2023. The surveyor asked how he ensured that the laundry is properly cleaned. The
Maintenance Supervisor explained that the laundry gets washed. He did not express any knowledge of
chemical detergents or water temperature requirements for properly laundering of resident clothing and
linens.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 10:21 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) F escorted the surveyor outside of

sitting on the pallet and 2 used gloves on the ground next to the pallet along with multiple tree leaves.
The Environmental Services Manager was at the time of the laundry room observation, and an interview
was conducted during the observation. She explained that they had been transporting the laundry to the
laundromat in the back of the pickup truck that was parked nearby. The pickup truck bed was observed with
dirt and debris, used gloves and had multiple bottles of Tide Simply All in One and household bleach
containers. Some of the chemical containers were empty. The Environmental Services Manager explained
that the washers have not been working at the facility for several months. She indicated that the facility has
had trouble maintaining both washers and dryers over the past year. Since the washers broke, they have
been taking laundry to the local public laundromat to wash. Then bringing the wet laundry back to the
facility to dry 7 days a week. The Environmental Services Manager explained that they ran out of
commercial laundry detergent on 1/28/24. They have since been using ½ cup of Tide [detergent] and
½ cup of bleach per load in the washers at the laundromat. She was unable to verbalize how those
amounts were determined. She indicated that the laundromat washers might have a 35-gallon capacity. The
surveyor asked if the facility has run out of commercial detergent and laundry sanitizer in the past. The
Environmental Services Manager replied yes, and stated they have had to utilize the Tide and bleach in the
past when they had run out of commercial detergent and sanitizer. She was asked to describe the type and
capacity of the washers at the laundromat. The manager was unable to provide specific information
regarding type, manufacture, or recommendations for detergent and/or hot water temperatures for washers
at the laundromat.
On 2/1/24 at Approximately 10:29 AM, when the surveyor entered the clean side of the laundry area where
the dryers were located, there were 4 bins of wet laundry waiting to be dried. The bins were labeled Soiled
Linen. Clean dry linen and clothes were being sorted and folded in the same room where these 4 bins were
located. The surveyor asked how long those linens have been waiting to be dried. The Environmental
Services Manager said they were left over from yesterday at approximately 6:00 PM that had not yet been
dried. Clean resident clothes were folded and sorted on a table that did not have a barrier present. Outside
there was a bin marked trash stored next to a cart where clean dry resident clothes were stored outside.
Tree leaves were observed to be underneath the linen. (photographic evidence was obtained).
On 2/1/24 at about 1:20 PM, the surveyor observed the washed wet bagged laundry in the back of the
same pickup truck after return from the laundromat. There was no indication that the bed of the truck had
been cleaned after the soiled linen was transported and before the wet washed laundry was loaded. The
bed of the truck appeared the same as the prior observation, containing dirt, debris, and empty bleach and
detergent containers. The Environmental Services Manager was asked about cleaning the truck bed. She
indicated that they are wiping out the truck bed using a a small bottle of Broadside sanitizer spray. The
Environmental Services Manager was asked to provide a list of employees that were assisting with
processing laundry. She explained that she, Laundry Worker A, Maintenance Worker K, and the
Maintenance Supervisor were

assisting with transporting and processing soiled linens at the laundromat. The Environmental Services
Manager was asked to provide evidence of training for the employees who were processing laundry for the
facility.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 4:00 PM, a follow-up interview was conducted with the Environmental Services
Supervisor who is also the Housekeeping Supervisor. She provided the latest training regarding handling
infectious laundry, dated 4/25/2023. Three employees signed that they completed the training. Laundry
Worker A, another employee who was no longer employed and Housekeeping Staff Member P.
Maintenance Worker K and the Maintenance Supervisor did not sign that they had received the training. Per
the in-service materials, to prevent microbial contamination of laundry equipment staff should:
-remove solids such as feces or vomit before the wash/dry cycle.
-follow manufacturer recommended temperature, detergent and laundry additive guidelines.
-do not leave damp textiles in machines overnight.
The inservice advised that a temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 25 minutes
was commonly recommended for washing laundry. Chlorine bleach becomes activated at water
temperatures of 135-145 degrees Fahrenheit. The training materials were based on the Centers for
Infection Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 2:30 PM, during a second interview with the Maintenance Supervisor, he
indicated that he had training regarding processing laundry but could not recall exactly when the training
occurred or give details related to the training.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 3:00 PM, an interview was completed with the Infection Prevention (IP) Nurse
who stated that the Environmental Services Manager was in charge of ensuring infection control processes
are followed when it comes to handling and laundering linen. The IP nurse was asked who was responsible
for providing education regarding handling laundry. The Infection Control Nurse indicated that she was
unsure who did the training, but it was probably the Environmental Services Supervisor. The IP nurse was
shown images of bins labeled soiled linen which contained clean wet laundry that had waited all night
before being placed in dryers. The Infection Control Nurse indicated that clean linen should never be stored
in bins that are labeled soiled linen and that clean linen should be processed in an area that does not
contain contaminated laundry.
On 2/1/24 at approximately 4:36 PM, an interview was conducted with the Administrator. She was asked
who provides the education for laundry serves. The Administrator explained that she would find out who is
responsible. The Administrator was asked when she last toured laundry area, and replied that she toured
the laundry when she first came on board (in December). She stated that nothing caught her eye that was
off. The Administrator was shown photographs of laundry on the ground being sorted out of bags. The
Administrator stated that it should not be like that, and that she would find out who is responsible for
education.
On 2/1/24, a review of the Laundry Services Policy dated 12/8/23 was conducted. The policy stated soiled
and clean linen should be separated at all times. The policy directed staff not to place clean linen in
contaminated areas or transport clean linen in containers designated for soiled linen. The policy directed
staff to wash their hands after handling soiled linen and before handling clean linen. Staff should consider
all soiled linen to be potentially infectious and handle it with standard
