Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure 4 (Residents #24, #55, #58 and #65) of 4 residents on Pureed diets recieved the prescribed diet. (all foods have been ground, pressed, and/or strained to a soft, smooth consistency like a pudding). The facility failed to follow their policy for 4 (Residents #10, #11, #26, and #45) of 4 residents reviewed who were to be served double portions. The failures could potentially cause significant unintentional weight loss. The findings included: On 11/18/20 at 3:28 p.m., a review of the Exceptional Living Centers, Inc. Dietary Policies and Procedures dated 11/05, Subject: Altered Portions, 32 ELC, Inc. Dietary Policy & Procedure Manual revealed the following Policy: The dietary professional shall interview all residents upon admission and periodically as needed for food preferences and meal satisfaction. Altered portion sizes will be served upon request only with a physician's order. Procedure #3 included for double portions, serve two portions of meat, casseroles, potatoes or starch, vegetable and/or salad, dessert, and bread and margarine. On 11/18/20 at 11:07 a.m. during observation of the lunch tray line process, the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) said the only substitution for lunch was peas and carrots instead of zucchini as listed on the menu. The portion size listed on the menu for the entrée for regular and puree diets was to be 8 ounces. At the beginning of tray line, Dietary Staff O started serving 4 ounces until after surveyor intervention. At 11:58 a.m., Dietary Staff O ran out of the puree entrée and asked for more. He asked again at 12:05 p.m. and it was not prepared until 12:15 p.m. When Dietary Staff N was asked what was in the puree entrée, he said meat and sauce but no noodles. At 12:30 p.m., Staff N said there was no puree garlic bread, he said he substituted mashed potatoes. Staff N did agree there was no pasta in the second batch of puree meat and sauce. The CDM confirmed Residents #24, #55, #58 and #65 should have been served puree garlic bread as listed on the menu. Residents #10, #11, #26 and #45 who were to receive double portions were served only 12 ounces of the entrée instead of 16 ounces and regular portion sizes for the other menu items. At the end of the tray line service, there was no leftover main entrees (regular or puree) or puree vegetables.

The findings included: On 11/20/20 at 1:00 p.m., during the Quality Assurance interview the facility Administrator said he was not aware the facility had an issue with the cleaning and disinfection of the blood glucose meters. The administration staff did not identify the nursing staff was not following the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the Assure Prism multi-use Blood Glucose Monitoring System (blood glucose meters). The DON said they did not have a policy or procedure for the process and said she would have to look at manufacturer's directions for the correct process. She said she thought you could wipe it with an alcohol wipe. This practice likely put 17 residents who have glucose monitoring at risk of contracting bloodborn pathogen's. On 11/19/20 at 2:29 p.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON), who was the designated Infection Preventionist, said I have not taken any Infection Preventionist training. No one in the facility has taken any additional infection control classes. The facility failed to have a qualified infection control preventionist. The DON who was the identified Infection Control Preventionist could not produce any minutes from the Antibiotic Stewardship meetings. The DON could not produce any documentation of Antibiotic Stewardship activities or meetings. She said they were Zoom calls, but minutes were never taken regarding what was talked about. The facility failed to provide evidence of a functional Antibiotic Stewardship program. The DON who was the identified Infection Control Preventionist was not able to produce any documentation of tracking, trending or any other analysis of infections in the facility. This has the likelyhood of further spread of infections to the other residents in the facility. The administration failed to identify broken equipment and maintain a safe and sanitary environment in the laundry room which could lead to infections since the entire resident population uses the laundry services. The administration failed to identify issues with the resident call bell system and maintain a fully functioning resident call bell system including the auditory function in the facility. This has the likelihood for residents to be injured due to the inability of the staff hear the auditory portion of the call bell system. The administration failed to ensure residents in the facility were provided prescribed diet portions sizes. Eight residents were identified as not receiving enough food which could contribute to unintentional weight loss. The Infection Preventionist required qualifications are to have completed specialized training in infection prevention and control, the facility failed to have a qualified Infection Preventionist.

The findings included: Review of the facility's history revealed on 5/2/20 the facility administration failed to report suspected COVID-19 case to the Department of Health as directed by the Florida Department of Health (DOH) to coordinate the State's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility also failed to enact appropriate COVID-19 precautions and observe proper social distancing placing all residents of the facility at risk of COVID-19 infection. On 5/14/20 the facility failed to ensure a dependent resident on the COVID unit received the necessary assistance for bathing and shaving which can result in health and social consequences for the resident. The facility also failed to maintain a safe, functional and sanitary environment in the laundry room. 3. During the Recertification survey conducted on 11/16/20 through 11/20/20 the facility also failed to consistently ensure 1 (Resident #41) of 1 dependent resident reviewed received the necessary assistance with bed bath, showers, hair washing, and grooming. The facility failed to identify broken equipment on the dirty side of the laundry room to maintain a safe, sanitary, functional laundry area. The facility also failed to identify and implement actions to maintain a fully functional resident call bell system which could result in residents not receiving timely assistance in case of an emergency. 4. The facility administration failed to ensure all licensed staff were educated and implemented appropriate measures for cleaning and disinfection of glucometers according to manufacturer's specification. This consistent failure to properly disinfect the shared blood glucometers placed all residents who used the glucometers at high risk of indirect transmission of blood borne pathogens. The facility also failed to have a qualified Infection Preventionist. 5. On 11/19/20 at 2:29 p.m., during an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said she was the designated Infection Preventionist but had not taken any Infection Preventionist training or any additional infection control classes. The DON also had no documentation of Antibiotic stewardship activities or meetings. She said they held Zoom calls but did not document what was discussed. She said she just kept tract of number of the number of infections and the name of residents for QAPI meeting presentation.

On 11/19/20 at 2:30 p.m., the DON who was the identified Infection Control Preventionist said the facility had an infection prevention and control program. She said the policies are all in the computer and need to be updated. She showed binders full of monthly infection numbers for the QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) program meetings, but the rest of the pages for tracking and trending of infections were blank for each month. She was not able to produce any documentation of tracking, trending or any other analysis of infections in the facility to prevent the further spread of infections.
Based on observation, record review and interview the facility failed to follow the manufacturer's instruction for cleaning and disinfecting of the Assure Prism multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System (blood glucose meter) for 2 (Residents #15 and Resident #64) of 3 residents reviewed who had physicians' orders for blood sugar test (a blood sugar test was a procedure that measures the amount of sugar, or glucose, in your blood). Inadequate disinfection may result in indirect contact transmission (the transfer of an infectious agent through a contaminated inanimate object). Certain pathogens could contaminate and survive on equipment and environmental surfaces for long periods of time. The facility was unable to show documentation of a functioning infection control program. The failure to properly disinfect the blood glucose meters used for multiple residents resulted in a pattern of noncompliance at Immediate Jeopardy (IJ), scope and severity of K starting on 11/18/20. The Administrator was notified of the IJ on 11/18/20 at 4:00 p.m. The immediacy was removed on 11/20/20 at 1:25 p.m., after the facility completed the removal plan which included: Glucometer disinfection policy and assigned individual glucometers to diabetic residents. The facility provided documentation Licensed and Registered Staff were educated and demonstrated competency on procedure for proper disinfection of the glucometers to prevent indirect transmission of highly infectious diseases, including blood borne pathogens. Any new or outstanding licensed or registered staff will be educated and demonstrate competency on proper disinfection of glucometers prior to their scheduled shift. The facility initiated random audits during medication administration to ensure licensed staff are properly disinfecting glucometers. The results of the audits will be reviewed in the monthly Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings until compliance is maintained. The scope and severity was lowered to an E after credible evidence of measures taken to correct the IJ. The findings included: According to the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology (March 2009): Finger-stick devices, blood glucose testing meters, or even a health care worker's hands may all become vehicles for indirect transmission of viruses if they become contaminated with blood. Since Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is

highly infectious and environmentally stable, even invisible amounts of blood are sufficient to spread infection. According to the Food and Drug Administration: For blood glucose meters, the primary viruses of concern for bloodborne pathogen transmission between multiple patients are Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), HBV, and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). However, due to its robust nature, HBV is the most common virus in the observed outbreaks to date. Therefore, Blood Glucose Monitoring System sponsors should demonstrate that their disinfection protocol is effective against human Hepatitis B Virus. Studies have demonstrated that viruses can remain infective on surfaces for different time periods. The disinfection solvent you choose should be effective against HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hepatitis B virus. Outbreak episodes have been largely due to transmission of Hepatitis B and C viruses. However, of the two, Hepatitis B virus is the most difficult to kill. Please note that 70% ethanol solutions are not effective against viral bloodborne pathogens . https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/vitro-diagnostics/letter-manufacturers-blood-glucose-monitoring-systems-listed-fda According to the Centers for Disease Control: Unsafe practices during assisted monitoring of blood glucose and insulin administration that have contributed to transmission of HBV or have put persons at risk for infection include: . Using a blood glucose meter for more than one person without cleaning and disinfecting it in between uses. [Blood glucose meters are devices that measure blood glucose levels.] . .Whenever possible, blood glucose meters should be assigned to an individual person and not be shared. https://www.cdc.gov/injectionsafety/blood-glucose-monitoring.html 1. On 11/17/20 11:19 a.m., during an observation Registered Nurse (RN) Staff E was observed taking a blood glucose level on Resident #15 using the blood glucose meter (BG meter). When Staff E completed the task, she wiped the BG meter with an alcohol prep pad, placed it on top of medication cart to dry for a four seconds then placed the BG meter back in top drawer of the med cart. Staff E then used the blood glucose meter on another resident. On 11/17/20 at 11:26 a.m., in an interview Staff E said the BG meters were used for multiple residents. Staff E said she wiped it down with an alcohol prep pad after using on a residents. At at the end of the shift, Staff E would wipe it down with a Clorox wipe. On 11/17/20 at 11:42 a.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing (DON) said the BG meters were supposed to be wiped down with an alcohol pad, Clorox wipe, or some disinfectant was supposed to be used. The DON said they did not have a policy and procedure for the process and said she would have to look at manufacturer's directions for the correct process. On 11/17/20 at 1:50 p.m., in an interview Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff L said she used one of the wipes on the med cart to wipe down the BG meters for about 15-20 seconds and then sets it down to dry. On 11/18/20 at 12:50 p.m., Staff M (LPN) was observed taking a Blood Glucose level on Resident #64.

When Staff M completed the task, she wiped the BG meter sideways and vertically with a Micro Kill wipe for approximately 4-5 seconds and set the machine down to air dry. When Staff M was completely done cleaning the machine, she was asked to read the instructions on the Micro Kill. The Micro Kill label notes it is effective against HIV, HBV, and HCV in 2 minutes wet time. Staff M said she did not know if she had ensured a wet time of 2 minutes when cleaning the BG meter. The Manufacturer's instruction manual for the Assure Prism multi Blood Glucose Monitoring System revealed the following: Pages 38-39 of manual indicates the meter should be cleaned and disinfected after use on each patient.
