PASARR screening for Mental disorders or Intellectual Disabilities
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that a Level II Preadmission Screening and
Resident Review (PASRR) evaluation was completed after a Level 1 screening suggested the possibility of
a serious mental illness for one (Resident #6) of one resident reviewed for PASRR, out of 30 residents in
the total survey sample.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
A review of Resident #6's medical record revealed an initial admission date of 11/19/2017 with the most
recent readmission on [DATE]. The resident's diagnoses included hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy,
hyperlipidemia, dysphagia, pneumonia, fracture of left femur, acquired absence of kidney, sacrococcygeal
disorders, gout, anemia, muscle weakness (generalized, history of falling), unspecified intellectual
disabilities, not an acceptable Primary Diagnosis, 08/14/2023, Secondary Diagnosis During Stay,
10/4/2023, dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere, unspecified severity with agitation, secondary
diagnosis and present on admission [DATE]), schizophrenia, unspecified secondary diagnosis, present on
admission, 4/17/2024, cognitive communication deficit, dysphagia, chronic pain syndrome, major
depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate, secondary diagnosis, present on Admission, 8/25/2023, and
essential (primary) hypertension.
A review of the care plan initiated 04/19/2019 and revised on 07/02/2024, revealed that Resident #6 had
behavior symptoms related to cognitive impairment, refusing to get out of bed, refusing care, and calling
staff names. She was noted with combative and aggressive behavior. Care plan interventions included:
Intervene as necessary to protect the rights and safety of others. Approach and speak in a calm manner.
Divert attention. Remove from situation and take to alternate location as needed. Minimize potential for
resident's disruptive behaviors by offering tasks which divert attention, such as a calm approach, no
changes in routine (any change, any routine upsets her). If reasonable, discuss resident's behavior. Explain
and reinforce to the resident why behavior is inappropriate and/or unacceptable. Provide a calm, quiet
atmosphere; loud, crowded areas appear to be overstimulating. Minimize the potential for resident behavior
problems by modifying environmental factors and daily routine.
A review of the resident's PASRR, completed by a Social Worker (MSW - Master of Social Work) and dated
07/17/2024, revealed in Section I A. Depressive disorder, schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia.
Related conditions were noted as cognitive/communication deficit. Substantial functional limitations in three
or more major life activities were noted as: Capacity for independent living, learning, self-care and
self-direction. Findings were based on documented history, individual and medication. Section II: Other
indications for PASRR Screen Decision-Making documented that there was an indication that the individual
has or may have had a disorder resulting in functional limitations in

major life activities that would otherwise be appropriate for the individual's developmental stage. It further
documented the concentration, persistence, and pace: The individual has serious difficulty in sustaining
focused attention for long enough period to permit the completion of tasks commonly found in work settings
or in work-like structured activities occurring in school or home settings, manifests difficulties in
concentration, inability to complete simple tasks within an established time period, makes frequent errors,
or requires assistance in the completion of these tasks. The form documented that the resident had a
related neurocognitive disorder. And finally, the form, dated and signed on 07/17/2024 at 1:30 PM,
documented that the MSW spoke to Resident #6's legal guardian, who consented to the information being
shared.
On 04/02/2025 at 2:25 PM, the Administrator provided a copy of the resident's Florida PASRR Level II
Receipt of Referral Packet Notice of Missing Required Documentation sent to the facility and dated
07/31/2024. The letter read, We have received a referral to complete a PASRR Level II Review on [Resident
#6]. In order to complete the PASRR Level II evaluation and determination, we ask that you send a copy of
the following required documents:
- Informed Consent
- Minimum Data Set (MDS)
- Patient Transfer/Continuity of Care (3008)
- Relevant Case Notes/Records of Treatment
The letter further noted, This information should be sent to us within five business days from the date of this
notice. If the information is not submitted within the requested timeframe, we will close the request.
During an interview with the Administrator on 04/02/2025 at 2:25 PM, he stated, I couldn't find anything in
our system other than the copy of the Florida PASRR Level II Receipt of Referral Packet Notice of Missing
Required Documentation, dated 07/31/2024. He explained that he was not aware of whether or not any of
the requested documentation for a Level II PASRR for Resident #6 was submitted, and he would need to
check with the Director of Social Services when the employee returned from leave. The Administrator also
noted that the facility did not have a policy and procedure for PASRR.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans that
included measurable objectives and timeframes to meet residents' medical, nursing, mental, and
psychosocial needs for four (Residents #1, #40, #24 and #31) of 30 residents reviewed for care planning
from a total survey sample of 30 residents.
The findings include:
1. On 3/30/25 at 11:30 AM, Resident #1 was observed in bed with a pressure relieving mattress, catheter
bag hanging at bedside, bilateral boots to prevent pressure wounds, and a peripherally inserted central
catheter (PICC) line in the left upper arm.
A review of the medical record revealed that Resident #1 was initially admitted on [DATE]. On 2/21/25, he
had an unplanned discharge to an acute care hospital with return anticipated. On 3/1/25, he was readmitted
from the hospital. Resident #1's diagnoses included multiple sclerosis, contractures of both knees, pressure
ulcer of the left buttocks-Stage 4, chronic pain, hydronephrosis, dementia, history of transient ischemic
attack (TIA), extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) resistance and sepsis.
A review of the quarterly minimum data set (MDS) assessment with an assessment reference date (ARD)
of 3/4/25 revealed that the resident had a brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score of 15 out of 15
possible points, indicating intact cognition. No behaviors were noted including refusal of care. The resident
required a mechanical lift and two-person assistance with care activities.
A review of the physician's orders dated 3/1/25 revealed:
Methocarbamol Oral Tablet 500 milligrams (mg), 2 tablets four times a day (QID) (muscle relaxant)
Rivaroxaban Oral Tablet 20 milligrams (mg), 1 tablet daily (QD) (anticoagulant)
Primidone Oral Tablet 50 milligrams (mg), 1 tablet daily (QD) (anticonvulsant)
Lasix (anti-diuretic) Oral Tablet 40 milligrams (mg), 1 tablet every other day (QOD) (diuretic)
Occupational Therapy (OT) clarification order: OT evaluation and treatment 5 x week for self -care. ADLs
(activities of daily living), therapeutic activities, neuromuscular re-education in order to return to prior level
of function (PLOF).
Suprapubic catheter care every shift, cleanse site and replace t-sponge.
Flush PICC Line: Flush lumens every 12 hours with 10 ml (milliliters) normal saline.
Catheter: Suprapubic catheter 18 FR (French) with 10 cc (cubic centimeter) balloon to dependent drainage.
Change catheter monthly, PRN (as needed) if dislodged or plugged and unable to clear with irrigation.

IV - Dressing Change - PICC transparent dressing change every week and as needed (PRN).
A review of the resident's care plan (start date 3/4/25, target completion date 3/11/25) revealed no focus
area, goals, or interventions for prescribed diuretic or anticoagulant medication. There were no focus areas,
goals, or interventions for a PICC line, urinary catheter care, or MASD.
In a 4/2/25 interview at 12:05 p.m. with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) A/Minimum Data Set (MDS)
Coordinator, she explained that the care plan goals were derived from diagnoses, physicians' orders, and
any pertinent information obtained from residents' records. She stated the purpose of the care plan was to
enhance resident-centered care. She was asked to review Resident #1's care plan for anticoagulants,
diuretics, PICC line , catheter and MASD. After opening the resident's record she said, Oh, this is
incomplete; it should be more than two pages. There are goals that are missing interventions. She
confirmed that there was no care plan in the resident's record for a PICC line, urinary catheter, diuretic,
anticoagulant, or MASD. She stated she would expect all those issues and medications to be care planned.
During a 4/2/25 interview at 12:39 p.m. with LPN E/Unit Manager, she stated during daily clinical meetings,
all new admissions' records were reviewed to ensure the documentation was complete. She further stated
the clinical team also reviewed order listings for new orders, risk management notes, and updated the care
plan.
2. A review of Resident #40's medical record revealed an admission date of 2/18/24. The resident's medical
diagnoses included Parkinson's disease without dyskinesia (involuntary, uncontrolled muscle movements),
without mention of fluctuations and depression.
A review of the 5-day MDS assessment, dated 3/3/25, revealed a BIMS score of 15/15, indicating intact
cognition. Medications included injections on one of seven days, as well as antianxiety, antidepressant,
anticoagulant, and antibiotic medications received during the assessment period.
A review of Resident #40's active physician's orders revealed:
Hydrocodone-acetaminophen (combination opioid-over-the-counter analgesic pain medication) oral tab

A review of the resident's care plan (revision date 3/11/25) revealed no focus areas, goals or interventions
for the resident's use of anticoagulant, opioid, antidepressant, or benzodiazepine medications. (Copy
obtained)
A review of the March 2025 and April 2025 medication administration records (MARs) and treatment
administration records (TARs) revealed that medications were provided as ordered; however, no behavior
monitoring was located in the records.
During an interview on 4/2/25 at 11:50 a.m. with LPN A/MDS Coordinator, she stated she updated care
plans by reviewing the residents' hospital records or medical records, through resident and family meetings,
and by reviewing the physicians' orders. Nursing completed the initial baseline care plan. The MDS
department scheduled care plan meetings. They usually occurred at three weeks. When the resident's MDS
assessment was completed, the care plan opened up and was subsequently completed in the resident's
record. The baseline care plan was completed on paper. When asked how she ensured that all care plans
were complete, LPN A replied that was accomplished through audits. There was a review date and target
complete date that she monitored. She also monitored input from other departments. She signed off the
completion of the care plan during the care plan meeting with the families and/or residents. Care plan
meetings were held on Tuesdays. Residents were added to the care plan schedule. The purpose of the care
plan was to ensure that all staff were on the same page and understood the residents' needs. The care plan
was due for completion seven days after the MDS assessment was closed. Staff knew specific interventions
that should be implemented related to a resident's care and services by either the baseline care plan or the
care plan or kardex system. LPN A was asked to identify where Resident #40's care plan addressed
specific care, services, and interventions for his use of anticoagulant, opioid, antidepressant, and
benzodiazepine medications, as well as for pain management. LPN A confirmed there were no care plans
for these medications or for pain management. When asked who reviewed the MDS assessments, LPN A
stated the Director of Nursing (DON) reviewed and signed off on them. The MDS department would let the
Director of Nursing know that the MDS assessments were ready to be reviewed and signed.
During a 4/2/25 interview with LPN B at 12:05 p.m., she stated she was responsible for monitoring her
residents' behavior. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) reported anything they saw/heard, and nursing
documented what was reported, then observed the resident, placed interventions, and notified the
physician or members of the interdisciplinary team. Nursing was able to find a resident's specific care,
services and interventions on the resident's MAR/TAR. Resident behaviors were documented in the
electronic medical record (EMR) on a progress note or in the 24-hour report. When she was asked to point
out where Resident #40's behavior monitoring was being documented, she stated there was no
supplementary information added to the order, so no information was showing on the TAR for behavior
monitoring. When she was asked how she knew a resident's behavior was being monitored, she replied
that if Resident #40 had a behavior issue reported, it would have been documented in the progress notes.
3. On 3/30/25 at 2:00 p.m., Resident #24 was observed lying in bed. When she was greeted and asked how
she was doing, she stated, I'm feeling better after a few days of vomiting and not feeling well. She was
asked if she had eaten her lunch. She replied, No, I haven't had much of an appetite, but I

Yes, I am taking antibiotics after being so sick the other day.
On 3/31/25 at 12:38 p.m, a record review revealed that Resident #24 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]
with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus - type II. The resident had a documented fever on 3/28/25, and
experienced nausea and vomiting with symptoms that started on 3/27/25. A review of the quarterly MDS
assessment, dated 12/27/24, revealed the resident had a BIMS score of 10/15, indicating moderate
cogniitve impairment, and received insulin injections, antidepressant, diuretic, and antibiotic medications
during the assessment period.
On 3/31/25 at 12:46 p.m., a review of the resident's care plan revealed the following focus areas:
Focus: Impaired cognitive function/dementia or impaired thought processes related to current health status
(initiated 3/27/24, revised 3/13/25)
Focus: Diabetes mellitus (initiated 4/1/24, revised 10/2/24)
Focus: Altered respiratory status - requires oxygen (initiated 5/30/24, revised 3/13/25)
There was no care plan related to the new onset symptoms of nausea/vomiting or fever (102.1 on 3/28/25),
or initiation of antibiotic use for indication of fever.
On 3/31/25 at 12:55 p.m., a review of the resident's active physician's orders revealed:
Does the resident have nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or diarrhea? Conduct temperature check after
meals and at bedtime for Infection Control (3/31/25)

for fever for four days (3/29/25 - 4/2/25).
On 3/31/25 at 1:00 p.m., a review of the resident's progress notes revealed that the resident vomited on
3/27/25, and was seen by the APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse) on 3/28/25 for symptoms of
fever 102.1 F (Fahrenheit), vomiting, risk for dehydration, suspected infection, and was given new orders for
IV (intravascular) fluid bolus for 1 day, a urinalysis, culture & sensitivity, comprehensive metabolic panel,
and a complete blood count. (No results were available for any of the lab tests ordered.) Ceftriaxone
Sodium Injection Solution Reconstituted 1 Gram IM (intramuscularly) was ordered daily for four days for
fever.

Do you believe you have enough staff to give your residents the care they need? We do.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Who is responsible for transcribing lab orders? Sometimes the nurses do it and sometimes the doctors or
the nurse practitioners have access to the medical record, and they put in their own lab orders.
Residents Affected - Few
How long does it take for the faclity to receive lab results? It depends on which lab test is ordered, usually
it's pretty quick.
What is the typical wait time to receive lab results? I would say within a day or so.
Who is responsible for collecting urine samples from the residents? The nurses.
Are urine samples collected on any particular shift? No, whenever a STAT (immediate) urine is ordered, we
go ahead and collect the sample right then and put it in the refrigerator for the lab to pick it up.
What do you do with the lab results when you receive them? Report to the doctor.
On 4/2/25 at 11:54 a.m., an interview was conducted with LPN A.
She was asked the following:
Who is responsible for initiating the resident care plan on admission? I look for their diagnoses in the
hospital records to start the care plan. I talk to the CNAs (certified nursing assistants) and family to get
more information about the resident, and review the physician orders. We have up to 14 days to complete
the comprehensive care plan. Each department adds their own parts of the comprehensive care plan. I
monitor all the departments' input and make sure everything is completed before it is signed off as
completed.
Is the initial baseline resident care plan documented on paper? Yes.
What is the purpose of the resident care plan? The care plan itself is so everybody is on the same page on
how to take care of the resident.
What are some of the medication categories that should be addressed in a resident's care plan? I
personally care plan antibiotics, antidepressants, antianxiety, psychotropics, diuretics, hypnotics,
anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and IV medication.
When there is a change in condition, who is responsible for updating the resident care plan? That is nursing
and myself would do that, and it's based on the order summary that the Unit Manager runs in the mornings.
We review it, but the nurses can update the care plan anytime they initiate an order.
LPN A was asked to access the care plan for Resident #31 in the EMR. She was asked to find a care plan
that addressed her recent antibiotic use or any indication for infection.
LPN A stated, I don't see a care plan for any indication of infection or current antibiotic use.

She was asked the following:
Residents Affected - Few
When she was asked who was responsible for updating a resident care plan, she stated she ran a
summary of new orders every morning and reviewed those orders with the clinical team to ensure that
everything had been addressed. She named the MDS nurses as staff who would actually access a
resident's care plan in the EMR and update the care plan intervention, or goals, with pertinent input from
the clinical team during the morning clinical meeting.
What is the purpose of the resident care plan? It's a plan to tell us how to take care of the resident.
She was asked to access Resident #24's current care plan in the EMR and find a care plan focus for the
current order for antibiotic use and the indication. I can't find anything.
Who is responsible for transcribing lab orders? Whoever receives the order.
How long does it take for the facility to receive lab results? It's based on the lab; if it's STAT it's taken to the
hospital, and it usually reports in 5-6 hours or sometimes before that, and if it's not ordered STAT, the lab
technicians usually come in the morning to draw the lab, and the results come back by that afternoon.
Who receives the results? They come into [EMR] and some lab results come by fax. All nurses are
responsible for looking out for lab results. I usually check first thing in the morning as part of my routine and
bring the results to the morning clinical meeting.
Who is responsible for collecting urine samples from the residents? The nurses.
Are urine samples collected on any particular shift? Not really.
What is the facility's process for making sure lab specimens are collected in a timely manner? If you have a
urinalysis that is not a STAT order, the night shift will collect it and the lab picks it up in the morning. If it's a
STAT order, the nurse collects it right then.
What is the facility's process for making sure lab orders are followed through on in a timely manner? We
have a list that the lab technician uses to note what labs were drawn, and which specimens were collected
or picked up. We can also check in [EMR] to review them with the clinical team in the morning meeting to
determine if labs were collected or not.
How many days a week does the facility have lab services? Monday through Sunday but on the weekends
they only come if we have STAT orders.
She was asked to access the EMR for Resident #24 and review the lab orders. She confirmed that the
resident had labs for RSV, urinalysis with reflex culture, and CMP & CBC with differential orders on

record review and interview, the facility failed to provide treatment and care in accordance with professional
standards of practice for two (Residents #304 and #305) of 30 residents in the total survey sample.
Resident #304 was not provided adequate care for a Jackson Pratt (JP) drain, and the facility failed to
obtain a timely hospice consult per physician's orders for Resident #305, who was admitted on [DATE], with
a physician's order for Consult [provider name] Hospice dated 3/12/25 at 12:55 PM. As of 4/2/25, three
weeks after the order was written and on the last day of the survey, there was no documented evidence
that a hospice consult had been obtained.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
1. A review of Resident #304's medical record revealed an admission date of 3/7/25 with a re- entry on
3/26/25. Diagnoses included encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery, non-pressure chronic ulcer
of lower leg with unspecified severity, diabetes mellitus type II, pressure ulcer of the sacral region stage III,
need for assistance with personal care, calculus of gall bladder and bile duct with acute and chronic
cholecystitis with obstruction, cellulitis, and dementia. A review of the Medical Certification for Medicaid
Long-Term Care Services and Patient Transfer Form (AHCA form 5000-3008), dated 3/26/25, revealed that
the resident had a JP drain at the abdomen upon transfer from the hospital to the facility on 3/26/25. (Copy
obtained)
A review of the resident's progress notes revealed a physician's progress note dated 3/28/25, indicating that
the resident was seen for follow-up after a recent hospital re-admission. During her hospitalization, she was
initially scheduled for a computed tomography (CT) of her chest to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE);
however, an incidental finding of gallstones was noted and she underwent a cholecystectomy (gall bladder
removal). Currently, she had two laparoscopic sites (incision sites) covered with 2x2 gauze and Tegaderm,
as well as a JP drain in her right upper quadrant draining serosanguinous fluid.
Plan: Post-cholecystectomy status:
- Keep surgical sites clean and dry. Do not remove dressings unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
- Monitor JP drain output and report any significant changes in color, amount, or consistency of drainage.
- Report any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or fever.
- Gradually increase activity as tolerated, but avoid strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks.
- Follow up with surgeon as scheduled for drain removal and wound check. (Copy obtained)
A review of the active physician's orders revealed a physician order dated 3/26/25 for Flagyl (antibiotic) 500
milligrams (mg) two times a day (BID) related to surgical aftercare following surgery on the digestive
system. There were no orders for care of the JP drain care or monitoring for signs and symptoms of
infection. (Copies obtained)

A review of the resident's progress notes revealed a nursing progress note dated 3/12/25, indicating that
Resident #305 was moved from 206B to 101A, closer to the nursing station, due to restlessness/irritability.
A psychiatric consult was ordered. A new order was received for Trazodone at HS. The resident's family
member was made aware of the room change and the resident's status, and a new order was received for
a hospice consultation.
A review of all of the resident's progress notes with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) E/Unit Manager from
the date of admission [DATE]) through 4/2/25, revealed no information indicating that the physician's
3/12/25 hospice order was followed through on. LPN E confirmed there was no documentation indicating
follow through

follow-up due to dementia, insomnia, CHF, and muscle weakness. It was noted that the resident was
observed being wheeled around the facility in her wheelchair by her family member, and was seen being
fed lunch by her family member during rounds. She exhibited behavioral issues, including biting staff
members and spitting out her pills. Concerns were raised by both the resident's family member and the staff
regarding her memory issues and tendency to wander, as well as her getting up out of her wheelchair. The
resident's family member had scheduled an appointment with hospice for Thursday.
A review of the resident's current care plan (initiated on 3/11/25) revealed that there was no indication for
hospice. No hospice certification paperwork was provided upon request.
A review of the admission 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, with an assessment reference date
(ARD) of 3/17/25, revealed that the resident's brief interview for mental status (BIMS) score was left blank.
The assessment documented that resident exhibited hallucinations, delusions, and wandering behaviors
that interfered with her participation in activities or social interactions.
In an interview on 4/2/25 at 12:38 PM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) E/Unit Manager, stated she had
worked at the facility for about a year. When asked how she was notified of new orders, she explained that

new orders and risk management noted and updated the care plan. When asked about Resident #305's
functional status, LPN E stated the resident was confused and dependent on staff for all activities of daily
living (ADL). When asked if the resident was receiving hospice services, LPN E said, The consult was
placed on 3/12/25 and the Social Services Director (SSD) was to arrange for the services. She stated the
SSD was not in the facility; therefore, she could not tell what the progress was on the consult. She reviewed
the resident's record and said, There is no certification paperwork. Normally, when a resident is picked up
by hospice, the nursing department is left with admission paperwork. Additionally, the nurses complete a
progress note on the same. When asked about Resident #304's care, she stated that resident was sent to
the emergency room on 3/19/25 for elevated temperature, decreased breath sounds on the left side, and
decreased oxygen saturation. Resident #304 returned to the facility on 3/26/25 after gastrointestinal (GI)
surgery. She had for flagyl for surgical after care. When asked if the resident had any indwelling devices,
LPN E stated she was not aware. She reviewed the resident's record and confirmed she had a JP drain and
there was no order for care of the drain. She added that if there was no order, the nurses should document
under the progress notes. She confirmed that there were no progress notes related to JP care and
monitoring of the output. She said,If it's not documented it's not done. She also confirmed that the Flagyl
antibiotic did not have a stop date.
A review of the facility's policy titled Provision of Physician Ordered Services (reviewed 7/21/24), revealed
that the purpose of the policy was to provide a reliable process for the proper and consistent provision of
physician-ordered services according to professional standards of quality.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to establish an infection prevention and control program
(IPCP) that included a system for preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating, and controlling infections,
specifically, the spread of a gastrointestinal infection (GI) affecting 15 (Residents #208, #32, #42, #36, #22,
#207, #21, #24, #35, #51, #40, #1, #8, #14 and #20) of 50 residents living in the facility. Failure to control
the spread of infection can result in serious harm to residents, staff, volunteers, visitors, and other
individuals providing services to the facility. Facility staff also failed to implement enhanced barrier
precautions (EBP) for two (Residents #1 and #304) of two residents with indwelling devices from a total
survey sample of 30 residents.
Residents Affected - Some
The findings include:
On 3/30/25 at 11:00 AM, upon entrance to the facility, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) G notified the survey
team that there was a gastrointestinal (GI) outbreak and stated approximately 50% of the residents were
symptomatic with vomiting and diarrhea. She recommended the use of surgical masks while in the facility.
Staff were observed with surgical masks. No personal protective equipment (PPE) was observed outside
residents' rooms or signs notifying staff and visitors of illness. In an telephone interview on 03/30/25 at
11:30 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON)/Infection Control Preventionist was asked to provide more
information related to resident status and how the symptoms began. She said, The symptoms started on
Friday (3/28) morning. Residents reported that the pizza they ate the previous night might have upset their
stomachs. She said residents were provided with hydration. At this time, I'm not sure how many residents
have symptoms. I was unwell yesterday. The DON added that she was enroute to the facility and would
provide more information upon arrival.
In an interview on 03/30/25 at 11:45 AM, LPN F stated there were eight residents on her unit (West Wing)
that were symptomatic. Three residents started exhibiting symptoms on Friday and five other residents
started exhibiting symptoms on Saturday (3/29). She stated resident vital signs were within normal limits
(WNL). She confirmed that there were no residents on any type of isolation precautions including enhanced
barrier precautions. She provided a list indicating that 13 residents had symptoms. (Residents #208, #32,
#42, #36, #22, #207, #21, #24, #35, #51, #40, #1, and #8)
In a follow-up interview on 03/30/25 at 12:00 PM, LPN G stated there were 11 residents on her unit (East
Wing) that were symptomatic. She mentioned that five residents started having diarrhea and vomiting on
Friday, and six additional residents started experiencing symptoms on Saturday. She confirmed that there
were no residents on any type of isolation precautions including enhanced barrier precautions.
On 03/30/25 at 12:30 PM, the DON stated four residents started showing signs and symptoms on Friday
morning. These residents stated that whatever they ate on Thursday night may have upset their stomachs.
Of the four residents, three were prescribed IV (intravenous) fluids and one resident who was alert oriented
was encouraged to drink fluids. The DON added that there were two employees who also had symptoms.
As of last night, three more residents started having symptoms, and the Medical Director ordered stool for
Oval and Parasite (O&P) for salmonella, shigella, norovirus and requested an Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)
immediately (STAT). When asked to describe the precautions currently in place, the DON stated the facility
was utilizing universal precautions until they had confirmed results. She stated she had not contacted the
Department of Health (DOH) for guidance, but would do so by the end of the day and initiate a line listing (
method of tracking infections).
