Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to provide daily sanitation of the facility
and resident rooms during outbreaks of respiratory and gastrointestinal viruses. This failure has the
potential to affect all 76 residents in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Resident Room Roster dated 2/11/25 indicates there were 76 residents in the facility on that date.
On 2/11/25 a tracking document presented by V3, ICP (Infection Control Preventionist) indicated between
1/25/25 and 2/3/25 23 residents were identified as having symptoms of nausea/vomiting/diarrhea and two
residents (R4 and R8) diagnosed with Norovirus; nine residents identified as having respiratory symptoms
including shortness of breath/cough with six residents identified positive for Influenza A and five residents
positive for RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus).
On 2/11/25 at 12:15pm V8, Housekeeping Manager was assisting R6 to change rooms by packing up R6's
belongings. V8 stated, I'm the only housekeeper here right now, there are no other housekeepers in the
building. One housekeeper would be coming in at 4pm and stay until 9pm.
On 2/11/25 at 1:30pm V8 was still in the same room (R6's room), moving another resident into the room. V8
stated she has been Tied up making these room changes and hasn't been able to do any of the room
cleaning or general facility cleaning. V8 stated the other dayshift housekeeper called in (non-illness related)
and said, If someone calls in, we don't have anyone to replace them. They only allow me two staff per day,
so I have one in the am and one in the pm. They each do one side of the building. I could help but not when
I'm tied up like today. V8 stated it's difficult for the housekeepers to get an entire side of the building done
even when the three of them are there. V8 stated, We should be doing enhanced sanitizing during an
outbreak, but we can't even get the regular daily cleaning done.
On 2/11/25 R3 and R7 (both reside on Southwest Wing) stated housekeeping does not clean their rooms
every day. R7 stated she wipes down her tables and in the bathroom herself With whatever I can find to
clean with. R7 stated she shares a bathroom with R3 who sometimes has bathroom problems and worries
she might get sick because the bathroom isn't cleaned enough.
On 2/13/25 R4 and R8 (roommates who reside on Northwest wing) stated that housekeeping sweeps the
floor most days, But that's about it.
On 2/11/25 at 3pm V2, DON (Director of Nursing) stated, We have addressed the housekeeping issue for
weeks. We talk about the general lack of cleanliness in morning meetings. The Administrator is in

charge of hiring for that department and despite informing them 'nothing changes.' Some of the rooms are
not clean and no one is doing sanitizing and sanitizing - especially all the high-touch surface areas - is
really important because of all the contagious viruses that have been going around.

written schedule of cleaning and decontamination based on the area of the facility, type of surface to be

approved hospital grade disinfectant-detergent solution.
These surfaces will also be cleaned as needed when spills or soiling occur.
Other surfaces:
Doorknobs, handrails, bath rails, sink handles, and surfaces will be cleaned at least once daily and more
often as needed especially during an outbreak.
Cleaning of walls, curtains, blinds, will be done when dust is visible and placed on a terminal cleaning
program.
Daily damp dusting will be done to minimize aerosolization of dust particles.
High Touch Surfaces:
Beds, bedrails, bedside table, call button, call button in bathroom, chair, closet handles, door handles,
handrails, ledges, light cords, light switch, soap dispenser and sink, telephone, telephone cord, toilet,
