F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few indwelling urinary catheter bag and tubing resting directly on the floor. At this time, V10 picked R4's indwelling urinary catheter bag off the floor and hung it to the side of R4's bed and using a plastic clip that was located around the tubing of R1's catheter, clipped the tubing to the fitted sheet on R4's bed, so the tubing was not directly touching the ground. At this time, V10 stated R4's indwelling urinary catheter bag and tubing should not have any direct contact with the ground. V10 stated R4 does not like having the catheter and that R4 frequently attempts to pull it out. On 6/5/24 at 2:04 PM, V1 (Administrator/Registered Nurse) and V2 (Director of Nursing) in a joint interview, both stated R4's indwelling urinary catheter bag and tubing should never come into direct contact with the ground. V1 and V2 also stated they were looking into the reasoning for R4's indwelling urinary catheter. V1 verified R4 did not come to the facility with orders for an indwelling urinary catheter and R4 did not have a diagnosis to justify the use of an indwelling urinary catheter. V1 stated R4 is always attempting to pull her catheter out, so V1 is looking into getting it discontinued. V1 and V2 verified R4 is currently receiving antibiotic treatment for a urinary tract infection.

On 6/4/24 at 10:04 AM, a tour of the kitchen was conducted with V4 (Dietary Manager). V5 (Temporary Maintenance Director) was also present in the kitchen. At this time, the walk-in coolers digital temperature outside the door was reading 44 degrees F. At this time, V4 stated, We just got done cleaning breakfast, so that door has been opened, so it's reading higher than normal. At this time, V4 and V5 were asked if there have been any known issues with any of the refrigerators or freezers not working as they should. V4, quietly responded, Oh, yeah. and V5, pointing to the walk-in cooler that was reading 47 degrees, stated, That one right there. V4 and V5 both stated the walk-in cooler has not been working correctly for at least a month and a half. V5 stated, They tried dumping freon in it over and over, but that was an easy fix and it's not working anymore. V4 stated, The walk-in freezer is on the other side of the walk-in cooler, so I keep the freezer door opened to keep the walk-in cooler at temperature. V4 stated, Once the door stays closed for a period of time, it will cool down. V5 stated, It (walk-in cooler) needs a new condenser. It's not working. At this time, a prepared cup of milk on a drink cart was observed. V4 checked the temperature of the milk and it read 44.1 degrees F.

F 0812 On 6/4/24 at 11:36 AM, V18 (Resident Aide/RA) poured three glasses of milk and gave them to R2. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm On 6/4/24 at 11:40 AM, R2 took a drink out of one of the milk glasses that were given to her. At this time, R2 stated, It is actually colder than it usually is. Months ago, I was given chocolate milk that was spoiled. Residents Affected - Many On 6/4/24 at 11:52 AM, the digital temperature gage outside the walk-in cooler was reading 46 degrees F. At this time, V9 was observed disposing of the tuna noodle casserole into the trash and the yogurt cups had been disposed of as well. V9 stated, We have to get rid of this. We can't use that cooler anymore. We are taking everything out of there. On 6/4/24 at 1:29 PM, R1 stated, Oh, the food is disgusting. They serve warm milk. It's bad. On 6/5/24 at 9:22 AM, a tour of the kitchen was conducted. V4 (Dietary Managaer) stated, We have shut it down (walk-in cooler). It's not working. Everything is out of there.

At this time, V4 was observed removing the vacuum sealed package of corned beef brisket from the walk-in cooler and placing it into the freezer. V4 stated, I still had this (corned beef brisket) in there (walk-in cooler). I just put it in the freezer to keep it cool until I can make room in the stand-up fridge. At this time, V4 stated V4 refused to check the internal temperature of the corned beef brisket due to its vacuum seal. V4 stated, I don't know when I am serving this. If I open the seal, I will have to serve it. I know the temperature is fine because I keep that freezer open, and I keep the meat in the back of the walk-in cooler. When asked why V4 was continuing to use a walk-in cooler that was not operating correctly, V4 stated, What do you want me to do? I don't have anywhere else to put all of this food. There is no room in the other refrigerators. No other food items were observed in the walk-in cooler. On 6/5/24 at 12:00 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated the Corned Beef Brisket was disposed of into the trash and would not be served to any residents.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based upon observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions for residents with open wounds, indwelling urinary catheters, and peripherally inserted central catheters/PICC for three of six residents (R1, R4 and R6) reviewed for Enhanced Barrier Precautions in the sample of seven. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: The facility's Policy and Procedure Enhanced Barrier Precautions dated 3/27/24 states, Policy: It is the policy of this facility that Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) are used to prevent transmission of infectious organisms spread by direct or indirect contact with the patient or the patient's environment. They are a strategy in nursing homes to decrease transmission of CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) targeted and epidemiologically important MDROs (Multidrug-Resistant Organisms) when contact precautions do not apply. EBP is used during high-contact care activities for residents with chronic wounds or indwelling medical device, regardless of MDRO status, in addition to residents who have an infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted or other epidemiologically important MDRO when contact precautions do not apply. The website https://www.cdc.gov/long-term-care-facilities/hcp/prevent-mdro/faqs.html states, What is the definition of indwelling medical device? An indwelling medical device provides a direct pathway for pathogens in the environment to enter the body and cause infection. Examples of indwelling medical devices include, but are not limited to, central vascular catheters (including hemodialysis catheters, peripherally-inserted central catheters/PICCs), indwelling urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomy tubes. The guidance advises using Enhanced Barrier Precautions for the care and use of indwelling medical devices. How is 'care and use' defined? The presence of an indwelling device is a major risk factor for being colonized with or acquiring a MDRO. Therefore, the safest practice would be to wear a gown and gloves for any care (e.g., dressing changes) or use (e.g., injecting or infusing medications or tube feeds) of the indwelling medical device. The CDC's (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Enhanced Barrier Precautions door signage states, STOP. Everyone must: Clean their hands including before entering and when leaving the room. Providers and staff must also: Wear gloves and a gown for the following high-contact resident care activities: Device care of use of: central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy; Wound Care: any skin opening requiring a dressing. On 6/4/24 at 9:15 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated that the facility only has one resident (R7) currently in the facility with Enhanced Barrier Precautions implemented. R1's Progress Note signed and dated by V13 (Advanced Nurse Practitioner) on 6/4/24 at 1:37 PM documents R1 is currently receiving intravenous (IV) antibiotics through a PICC Line for treatment of recent diagnoses of Gangrene, Osteomyelitis, and Necrotizing Fasciitis to R1's left foot. This same note documents R1 receives daily wound care to R1's left foot. R1's current Care Plan states, I (R1) have a PICC line and am at risk for opportunistic infection to enter my body and intervention of Educate resident on reason for Enhanced Barrier Precautions. R4's current Care Plan documents R4 with the presence of an indwelling urinary catheter and that R4 is currently on antibiotic therapy related to urinary tract infection.
