On 06/11/24 at 9:50 AM, an interview was conducted with Resident #68, who he stated he has still not had
a shower to this day for over ten (10) days, and that Staff E, who normally works with him said that she
would be in tomorrow, Wednesday, to give him a shower on her normal workday of every other Wednesday.
On 06/11/24 at 10 AM, an interview was conducted with the facility's Regional Nurse, regarding the
resident's showers, who stated the schedule is set according to the resident's preferences, they pick their
own days and times.
An interview was conducted on 06/11/24 at 3:14 PM with the assigned Staff H, CNA, who worked
Wednesday 05/29/24 evenings 3 PM-11 PM shift and Saturday 06/08/24 evenings 3 PM-11 PM shift, Staff
H was asked, according to the resident's (assigned) shower schedule for Wednesday and Saturdays, was
he assisted or provided a shower or a bed bath on 05/29/24. Staff H responded, a bed bath. When asked if
his preferences for a shower were honored that day, Staff H stated the morning CNA should have been
charting when she gave him a shower because she said that the morning CNA tells her when she gives a
shower to the Resident. Staff H stated the resident was given a bed bath instead of a shower, as per his
schedule because the resident preferred to have a shower in the morning. The CNA stated that when
Resident #68 was upstairs on another unit, he had always wanted his showers in the morning because he
had more energy, and when he moved downstairs, she said that he wanted to keep this schedule. Staff H
noted that Resident #68's shower schedule days were still reflected as Wednesdays and Saturdays in the
evenings. Staff H was also asked if it was important for staff members to ask, honor and clarify a resident's
preferences and she responded, yes. Staff H acknowledged the last documented shower for this resident
was between the dates of Monday 05/27/24 and Saturday 06/08/24 was only one (1) time, when it should
have been a total of three (3) times.
On 06/11/24 at 3:38 PM, a telephone interview was conducted with Staff E, CNA, who works on the 7

pericare without first donning a gown. Staff I was observed placing Resident #8's Foley catheter on top of
her bed above the level of her chest and left the Foley bag in that position throughout the entire
observation. Staff I proceeded to take the resident's basin and fill it water from the sink. During the
observation, Resident #8 was not observed with a Foley catheter strap and anchor in place to secure her
Foley catheter. There ws no physician's order for a anchor or strap. Photographic Evidence Obtained.

observe what she usually does all the time. Staff I was then observed using the same pair dirty gloves that
she cleaned Resident #8's perineal area. She then proceeded to touch the bedside dresser, Resident #8's

those gloves, and without washing her hands and applying a new pair while she searched for additional
towels and supplies.
Staff I then asked the two surveyors if she could leave the room to get additional supplies, but she was
again told that we were only there to observe what she usually does and that we could not tell her what to
do. Staff I then left Resident #8's bedside to go out into the hallway. At this time, she was again observed
touching all the following surfaces, without any type of hand sanitation and no protective gloves: the clean
linen cart and the inside of her red blouse, in an effort to fix her bra. During this time, Staff I was observed
leaving Resident #8's bed in high position while leaving the resident unattended on the far-right corner
edge of her bed to obtain additional supplies outside of Resident #8's room.
After returning to Resident #8's room, Staff I began to do Foley catheter care, without first donning a gown.
Staff I then took Resident #8's basin into the bathroom to change the water, without protective gloves and
she touched the faucet to wash the basin in the sink. The CNA was observed putting on a clean pair of
gloves, without first sanitizing or washing her hands, to take the basin back to Resident #8's bed.
Staff I was observed using a washcloth folded in four parts, added soap to the washcloth and performed
Foley care for the resident. She was observed wiping the area with different parts of the washcloth and
holding the Foley catheter tubing in place while she cleaned from the base out. Staff I was observed
wearing the same dirty gloves that she cleaned Resident #8's peri-area and then she proceeded again to
touch multiple surfaces in Resident #8's room, cross-contaminating them all. Staff I then removed those
dirty gloves and sanitized her hands.
Following the Peri-care and Foley care procedure, Staff I was asked to check in the resident's room for
Resident #8's Foley catheter leg strap and anchor. There was no Foley catheter leg strap and anchor noted
anywhere at Resident #8's bedside or in her room, to use as an anchor her Foley catheter that was in
place.
During a brief interview conducted on 06/11/24 at 11:10 AM with Resident #8, shortly after the peri-care
and Foley care observation, Resident #8 was asked if she ever had or wore a Foley catheter strap and
anchor for her Foley. She responded, no, she had not.
On 06/11/24 at 11:18 AM, an interview was conducted with both Staff A, RN and with Staff I, CNA, in which
they were informed of the peri-care and Foley care observation concerns and they both acknowledged that
during Peri-care and Foley care that Staff I was not well prepared, and she should have followed
appropriate procedures including wearing a gown, changing gloves and hand hygiene.
On 06/11/24 at 12:10 PM, in an interview with the Director Of Nursing (DON), the DON recognized and
acknowledged the CNA should have been better prepared, and she should have utilized appropriate
infection control techniques throughout the procedure and this was not done.

An interview was conducted on 06/10/24 at 10:04 AM with Staff A. She acknowledged not administering the
Pantoprazole Sodium tablet to Resident #499 because the pharmacy had not delivered it, and she has not
contacted the pharmacy to inquire about delivery time for the medication. When questioned about the
Vitamin B12 omission, she stated that Resident #499 is a new admission and she is not familiar with his
medication's regimen, but she did not recall administering the medication.
2. Record review documented Resident #8 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that
included Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Iron Deficiency Anemia, Sarcopenia, Muscle Weakness, and
Polyneuropathy.
A medication administration observation was conducted on 06/10/24 at 8:40 AM with Staff A for Resident
