CNA A stated if an environmental issue was identified after hours, she would inform her supervisor. She further stated she had not taken any residents to the shower room that day and therefore did not know the condition of each shower room prior to the tour.

F 0867 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure implementation of its Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program to the extent that previously identified areas of concern were thoroughly monitored and performance was adequately tracked to ensure prior improvement measures were realized and sustained. Findings: Cross reference F584 Review of the facility's survey history revealed a deficiency related to failure to provide a homelike environment during the last recertification survey dated 7/24/25. Review of the facility's Plan of Correction (POC), dated 8/18/25, identified staff was re-educated on the components of the regulation with emphasis on ensuring a clean and homelike environment in the dining room. The POC indicated newly hired and agency staff would receive education during orientation and prior to working a shift. During the current survey, a deficiency related to F584 was again identified. As a result of the repeat citation, it was determined the facility failed to implement sufficient auditing, monitoring, and oversight to ensure sustained compliance with the homelike environment requirements beyond the limited focus identified in the prior POC. On 1/22/26 at 4:45 PM, the Administrator (NHA) stated during the last recertification survey, the homelike environment concern was related specifically to centerpieces not being available in the dining room. She explained during development of the POC through QAPI, the facility focused primarily on common areas related to residents' dining experience and had not considered the homelike environment throughout the facility. She explained the POC and auditing process did not include shower rooms or residents' rooms. The NHA further shared ever since she began working as the NHA, there had been significant turnover and operational challenges, including three changes of Director of Nursing within six months, a new Maintenance Director, and periods without a Staffing Coordinator. She stated the facility had been in survival mode for a period of time and acknowledged the lack of key personnel may have contributed to missed environmental concerns. She indicated continuity had been difficult to maintain but stated the facility was in the process of building a new management team. The NHA mentioned housekeeping had been an area of focus, however limited progress had been made. She acknowledged the facility was aware there were a lot of things to fix and time was needed to address the issues. Review of the facility's policy Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement, revised 3/10/23, revealed the program was intended to ensure comprehensive, data-driven activities focused on indicators of outcomes of care and quality of life. The policy indicated the QAPI program was designed to address all care and services provided by the facility and ensure ongoing monitoring and sustained improvement.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to adhere to proper infection control practices related to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) outside of a resident's room, on one of two units, (West Wing).Findings: On 1/21/26 at 11:05 AM, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) B was observed standing by a medication cart in the [NAME] Wing hallway talking with a nurse while holding a soiled bag and wearing gloves on both hands. After a couple of minutes, CNA B continued walking down the hallway toward the soiled utility room. CNA B then removed the glove from her left hand but kept the glove on her right hand while holding the soiled bag and entering the utility room. On 1/21/26 at 11:08 AM, CNA B acknowledged she was observed wearing gloves in the hallway, then explained she was not really wearing gloves while holding the bag. She confirmed the finding and stated she knew she was not supposed to wear gloves in the hallway because it was a break in infection control practice. CNA B said, I guess I got distracted. On 1/21/26 at 11:27 AM, the [NAME] Wing Unit Manager (UM) confirmed staff should not wear gloves in the hallways. She indicated doing so was an infection control concern as it could contaminate areas outside of the resident's room. The UM validated staff must remove their gloves inside the resident's room before exiting. On 1/22/26 at 3:35 PM, the Director of Nursing confirmed the CNA who walked down the hallway wearing gloves was an infection control concern. Review of the facility's policy titled Nursing - Infection Control Prevention and Control Program, effective 2/21/23, revealed its purpose was to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment. The policy described its purpose was to prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections.
