On 2/8/23 at 10:37 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff U said Resident #53 was easy to get
along with and did not usually refuse care unless she was very sick.
On 2/8/23 at 11:12 a.m., in a telephone interview Resident #53's daughter- in-law said Resident #53 told
her about the problem not getting showers. The daughter-in-law said this was a continuing problem at the

On 2/9/23 at 11:48 a.m., the Regional Consultant Registered Nurse (RN) Staff V confirmed Resident #53
was not given a shower according to the resident's preference but should have been.
On 2/9/23 at 12:10 p.m., RN Unit Manager Staff T said if a resident refuses a shower, the CNA should tell
the nurse assigned to the resident. Staff T confirmed there was no nurse's note indicating Resident #53
refused showers. Staff T verified Resident #53 was still listed for evening showers on the shower schedule.
Staff T confirmed showers should be performed according to resident preference and would change the
shower to daytime (7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.) for Resident #53.

are placed on the CNA Kardex. The CNA is expected to provide a shower and if the resident wants a bed
bath, they give a bed bath. For the dementia residents who can't specify, the expectation is the CNA follows
the shower schedule, if they give a bed bath it should be documented in the progress note the resident
requested or refused a shower. The RNC confirmed dementia residents with cognitive impairments were
not always capable of requesting a bed bath and staff should document in a progress note why the resident
did not get the scheduled shower. The RNC said all residents are scheduled for showers and it is on the
CNA Kardex.

On 2/8/23 at 9:49 a.m., CNA Staff I stated started her shift by checking the assignment, checking the

coffee, pass breakfast trays. While they are eating, I get the others cleaned up whoever isn't up to get them
ready for the day and make their bed. When I clean them up, I change them and wipe them down, make
sure they smell clean, wash their hands and face. Staff I stated resident #401 doesn't have any clothes
because I guess no one has brought anything for him.

finished. I get them ready for therapy, made their beds and provide morning care. Morning care is where I
take them to the bathroom or change them if they are incontinent, let them brush their teeth and wash their
face. Some are independent so I just need to hand them towel and washcloth and get them dressed.

Assistant (CNA) Staff J], to please wash my back because it was itching so bad and she did, that's all she
did. They just don't have enough help to get everything done.

catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
Based on observation, record review, and staff interviews, the facility failed to store the urinary catheter
drainage bag in a sanitary manner for 2 (Residents #39 and #402) of 4 residents reviewed with urinary
catheters.
The findings included:
Review of the facility Infection Control Manual Chapter 2 Guidelines Section 1 dated 7/2021, indicated that
Breaking the chain of infection, an essential part of patient care, involves preventing access of pathogens
into the portal of entry from the urinary tract and to Recognize a susceptible host and protect high
risk-patients, such as those with cancer or the elderly.
Review of the facility policy on Catheter Care Procedure #15 stated, Avoid placing the (urinary) drainage
bad on the floor to reduce the risk of contamination.
1. Review of Resident #39's medical record revealed an elderly resident with a history of bladder cancer,
making Resident #39 a susceptible host and high risk for infection. Resident #39 had an indwelling urinary
catheter (tube inserted in the bladder to drain urine) due to obstructive and reflux uropathy (urine cannot
drain through the urinary tract).
Review of Resident #39's physician orders as of 2/9/23 revealed an order for two intravenous antibiotics
started on 2/1/23 for treatment of a current urinary tract infection (UTI).
Review Resident #39's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) Section G dated 1/22/23 revealed Resident
#39 required extensive assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toilet use and personal hygiene.

On 2/8/23 at 3:07 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff D said resident #39 could not get out of bed
or move the urinary catheter drainage bag himself. Staff D said the catheter drainage bag should not be on
the floor because bacteria on those surfaces can travel along the drainage tubing into the bladder.
On 2/9/23 at 3:03 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN) Staff R, Infection Preventionist for the facility acknowledged
Resident #39 was high risk for urinary tract infections. She confirmed the urinary drainage bags are a
source of infection for both Resident #39 and Resident #402 and should never be in contact with the floor.
She said bacteria from those surfaces can move up the drainage tubing into the bladder. Staff R said it did
not matter if the urinary drainage bags were in the blue privacy bag or not, they should never be in contact
with the floor.

Residents Affected - Some
On 2/8/23 at 8:20 a.m., the Director of Nursing stated the pharmacy is supposed to deliver to this facility
twice daily. We only got one delivery yesterday in the middle of the night. Newly admitted residents are seen
by the admission nurse who works full time Monday through Friday. The admission nurse reviews the
hospital orders that come through the system and calls the admitting physician to clarify any medications.
The face sheet and medication orders are faxed to the pharmacy within four hours of admission. There has
not been a process to check charts for new orders but we will be instituting that today. If a medication is not
available, we should have it in the Omnicell in the medication room to pull emergency medication from. The
doctor is notified. If we don't have the medication and pharmacy cannot deliver it then the physician can
change the order, we can request it be drop shipped or obtain from a local pharmacy.
On 2/9/23 at 2:24 p.m., the Infection preventionist, staff R stated pharmacy delivers medications twice daily.
She said there was a lot of follow up every day and a variety of reasons for not having the medication. The
pharmacy usually just tells the facility it will be delivered on the next run, then it's not on the next run.
On 2/9/23 at 2:44 p.m., the Administrator stated he was not aware the facility was experiencing pharmacy
issues.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food that accommodates resident allergies,
intolerances, and preferences, as well as appealing options.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
clinical record review, observations, resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to document food allergy

the night before, they thickened his liquids with corn starch causing itching all over, his back, his butt, his
ankles. The resident said, its miserable.

She said the resident was a new admission and had only been here for five days. The kitchen manager
stated no one has been able to meet with the resident yet to discuss food preferences. The dietitian stated
any resident food allergies are entered into the electronic health record and the eKardex (electronic
system) pulls the information to be updated on the meal tickets. She said, In this case that did not happen. I
have never seen that happen before. We fixed it today when we heard about the issue. The RD and kitchen
manager confirmed Resident #402 received gravy on 2/7/23 with his lunch meal and the thickener
contained corn products in it.
