Honor the resident's right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal and the facility must establish a grievance policy and make prompt efforts to resolve grievances.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to file and respond to resident grievances in accordance with their policy. This applies to 8 of 8 residents (R9, R10, R14, R15, R23, R49, R56, R61) reviewed for grievances in the sample of 18. The findings include: During the resident interview meeting on December 10, 2024, at 10:05 AM, the consensus of the attendees (R49, R61, R9, R56, R23) was that they were not aware of the facility's grievance process and did not receive feedback from the facility in response to their concerns. V17 (Ombudsman) provided a copy of the facility's grievance form to the resident attendees at the meeting, and the resident attendees stated they had not seen the grievance form before. R61 (Resident Council President) and R49 (Resident Council [NAME] President) both looked closely at the form and stated they had not seen the grievance form before. During the resident meeting, R56 stated she reported to V28 (Social Services/Medical records) during her care plan meeting over the summer, that she was missing clothing items and a phone charger and cord. Review of the grievance forms from February 1 through December 10, 2024, showed there was no grievance for R56's concern regarding missing clothing and a phone charger and cord missing. R56 stated she has not gotten a response from the facility regarding her missing items. During the resident meeting, R49 stated she reported a missing razor, and phone charger to V23 (Social Services) and V1 (Administrator) about 3 months ago. R49 stated she also reported R15's (R49's father) missing coat to V23 and V1 at the same time. Review of the grievance forms from February 1 through December 10, 2024, showed there was no grievance for R49 or R15 filed. R49 stated she has not gotten a response regarding her missing items. Review of the resident council meeting minutes showed concerns were raised, but no grievance form completed, or response provided to the Resident Council. The Resident Council Meeting Minutes dated March 19, 2024, April 16, 2024, May 21, 2024, and June 18, 2024, all showed the Resident Council identified staff using their cell phones while providing care to residents, was a distraction for staff and requested staff not use their cell phones while providing care. V1 provided a document dated September 11, 2024, titled CNA In service. V1 stated that this was the education provided to staff regarding the resident's concern. However, during the resident interview meeting on December 10, 2024, at 10:05 AM, the resident attendees (R49, R61, R9, R56, R23) all agreed staff using cell phones while providing care remains a problem and has never been resolved. On December 9, 2024, at 10:47 AM, R14 stated he does not get his clothing back from the laundry and has told the CNA and Nurses but could not recall the name of who he told, but that the missing clothing items had been going on for weeks. Review of the grievance forms from February 1 through December 10, 2024, showed there was no grievance form filed on behalf of R14. On December 10, 2024, at 5:00 PM, R49, R23, and R10 were playing cards in the dining room and asked to speak with the surveyor.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was free from verbal and physical abuse. This applies to 1 of 3 residents (R73) reviewed for abuse allegations in the sample of 18. This failure resulted in R73 feeling traumatized, unsafe, being afraid to sleep, and developing insomnia. The findings include: R73's face sheet showed him to be a [AGE] year old male admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that include Necrotizing Fasciitis, Severe sepsis, Pneumonia, Acute respiratory failure, Alcohol Abuse, and Long Term use of antibiotic. R73's Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], showed R73 to be cognitively intact. The initial facility reportable dated November 21, 2024, showed the following: While in the hallway a miscommunication occurred between R73 and V12 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant), after which R73 began using his cell phone to video V12. Upon noticing this, V12 moved the phone out of view, which led to R73 becoming upset. The facility's final reportable dated November 29, 2024, showed the following: On November 29, 2024, the facility completed a thorough investigation into an incident involving R73 and V12. The investigation was initiated after R73 became upset during an interaction with V12 in the hallway, where V12 moved R73's cell phone out of view after noticing R73 was recording her. R73 reported feeling upset about the interaction but did not express feeling of fear or alleged physical harm. V12 stated that the phone was moved to avoid being recorded, which was perceived as intrusive or unwanted, and emphasized that there was no intent to escalate the situation. Witness interview and resident interviews revealed no concerns about V12's behavior. V12 was suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. The review concluded that V12's actions, while upsetting toward R73, did not constitute abusive behavior. The interaction appears to have resulted from a misunderstanding rather than intentional harm. The facility's investigation report showed no documentation of V14's interview. V14 was the nurse at the nurse's station during the altercation. On December 9, 2024, at 1:57 PM, R73 stated he was verbally abused and physically assaulted by V12 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA). R73 stated that he put his call light on and V33 (CNA) answered the light, and he told her he needed his urinal emptied. R73 stated that V33 said she was going to tell his CNA (V12) to empty the urinal. R73 stated that after a few minutes he wheeled himself to the nurse's station and he saw V14 (Registered Nurse), and he asked V14 who his CNA was. R73 stated that V14 stated his CNA was V12 (CNA) and she was in the internet/ room across from the nurse's station. R73 stated he went and asked V12 to empty his urinal and she (V12) told him to do it himself and started cursing at him. R73 stated he was on the phone with someone, and they could hear what was going on and they told him to record it. R73 stated he started recording. R73 stated V14 was sitting at the nurse's station during the altercation. R73 stated he asked V12 again if she was going to empty his urinal and she started screaming and cursing at him and then walked towards him and as she was passing him, she (V12) hit his right hand and arm, and his phone went flying out of his hand.

On December 10, 2024, at 10:43 AM, R73 stated when he asked V12 to empty his urinal and she started yelling and cursing at him, he was shocked that she was acting like that. R73 said at the nurse's station he just asked her, if she could please empty his urinal. R73 became teary eyed, and said he is seeing a therapist because, now he has trust issues. R73 stated that V14 was there and did not say anything or do anything. R73 stated he was thinking of how to escape. R73 stated he went into his room and started thinking about what had just happened and he came back out to speak to the supervisor. It was around shift change and V16 (RN) was at the nurse's station and the girl that assaulted him was still at the nurse's station with V33, and V14. R73 stated they were all talking to each other. R73 stated he then asked to speak to the supervisor and V16 said if you decide to report this, she will have to document what he (R73) did. R73 stated he didn't do anything. R73 stated he never yelled at V12 or anyone. R73 stated then V16 asked if he was sure he wanted to call the police and he said yes. They were all talking at the nurse's station, so he went back to his room. R73 stated then V15 (Nursing Supervisor) and V16 came to his room. V16 asked what happened. R73 stated he told them what happened and V15 stated the administrator would talk to him tomorrow and they left. R73 stated they didn't ask him if he was okay or anything. R73 stated he was thinking that the person that assaulted him is still here and I'm defenseless. R73 stated he felt like there was an intent to keep him from reporting it to the police. R73 stated, he then went back to the nurse's station and asked them to call the police and V16 told him that it would be better if he called from his phone. R73 stated he went back to his room and called the police. R73 stated the police came and interviewed him and the first thing the officer said was that the V12 told the police that R73 singled her out. R73 then started crying with lots of tears rolling down his face at this point and surveyor got him some tissue. R73 stated that V12 told the police that he cornered her in his wheelchair so she swung at him because that was the only way she could get away from him. R73 stated he showed the officer the video and the officer went and got V15 and told V15 what V12 said and what the video showed. R73 said the officer then asked him if he wanted to file Battery charges and he said yes. R73 stated that the officer told V15 it was R73's right to file charges. R73 stated if he had not recorded it, no one would have believed him. R73 stated no one asked him if he was okay that night, they didn't examine him or anything. R73 stated his right hand was stinging after the CNA knocked the phone out of his right hand. R73 stated that he thought it was a little swollen, so he requested an x-ray. R73 stated the next morning the social worker, the administrator and a couple other people came and asked if he was okay. R73 stated he showed V1 (Abuse Coordinator/Administrator) the video of the altercation and V1 asked for a copy of it, but R73 did not give him one. R73 stated he does not feel safe in the facility, and he put in a request to be transferred. R73 stated after the altercation he called around to see what facilities took his insurance. R73 stated he is afraid at night and is watching closely who is here because no one helped him, and they tried to cook up a story about him. R73 was teary eyed and said they could have had me arrested. R73 stated he is suffering from sleep deprivation since this happened, he is sad, and afraid of retribution. R73 was still visibly shaken and stated that it was so abrupt and shocking.

On December 10, 2024, at 1:34 PM surveyor went to go review video footage again with another surveyor. R73 stated he fears retribution. R73 stated he felt defenseless when the altercation with V12 happened because I couldn't even run away if I needed to. R73 stated again he doesn't feel safe and started to cry with tears rolling down his face. R73 again stated he started calling numbers that the hospital gave him that accepted his insurance. R73 started crying again and said had he known he needed to involve the facility to help him with the transfer, he would have contacted them sooner.

I'm not going to do it, whatever the F*** happens let it happen as she walks past the resident and enters the nurse's station. The nurse's station has two exits on either side of V12. V12 chooses the one closest to R73 and she walks about 8-10 feet towards the resident and the video continues to show V12's hand coming towards R73's phone, the screen then becomes obscure and V12 continues to scream in the background.

V3 was prompted to have the therapy department screen R41 to determine the need for a brace/splint or positioning device on the resident's bilateral hands. R41 agreed to be screened by the therapy department. R41's active care plan initiated on February 23, 2023, showed that the resident has a splint to the left and right hand related to hemiplegia and hemiparesis. The care plan goal target date was until January 20, 2025. The goal was for R41 to tolerate the use of the bilateral hand splints without untoward reaction with application time from 7:00 PM through 7:00 AM. The same care plan showed multiple interventions including application of the splint/brace per physician order and for the staff to apply a soft brace to the left hand and a resting hand splint to the right hand during the night. R41's active physician order as of December 10, 2024, showed no order for the use of a soft brace to the left hand and no order for a resting hand splint to the right hand. On December 11, 2024, at 9:35 AM, R41 was in bed, alert, oriented and verbally responsive.

Patient noted to have bilateral distal [upper extremity] contractures and deformities. [Patient] will benefit from bilateral distal [upper extremity] braces for positioning during nighttime to maintain joint integrity. On December 11, 2024, at 9:49 AM, V32 stated that she had screened R41 on December 10, 2024, between 12:15 and 12:30 PM, to determine the need for a brace on both hands. V32 stated that R41's right hand and proximal joints were hyperextended with wrist drop. V32 added that R41's right hand had contracture at the wrist and fingers. According to V32, based on R41's right hand screening she had recommended for the resident to use a brace at night for positioning. V32 stated that R41's left hand, wrist and fingers were contracted but the resident was still able to extend his left fingertips about 5 to 10 degrees. V32 stated that based on R41's left hand screening she had recommended for the resident to use a left hand brace at night for positioning and to prevent further left hand and fingers contracture since the resident is still able to slightly move his left hand and fingers. During the same interview, V32 stated that she will also evaluate R41 to determine the appropriate brace to be applied on both the resident's hands/wrist and fingers. On December 11, 2024, at 10:21 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that the facility should follow and apply the bilateral hand splint/brace on R41 based on the resident's plan of care to maintain the resident's hand functioning, positioning and to prevent further contractures.

Face sheet shows R13 is 73 years-old who has multiple medical diagnoses which include personal history of traumatic brain injury, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) without lower urinary tract symptoms, obstructive and reflux uropathy, and unspecified lack of coordination. On December 9, 2024, at 11:20 AM, V25 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) rendered incontinence care to R13 who was wet with urine. V25 wiped R13's groins with wet wipes in a stroke, then she asked R13 to turn on his right side without ensuring that the penile and scrotal area were cleaned. V25 proceeded to remove the soiled incontinence brief and changed it, without wiping/cleaning the rectal and buttocks area. 2. Face sheet shows R10 is 84 years-old who has multiple medical diagnoses which include vascular dementia, stage 4 pressure ulcer of the right buttock, and unspecified diarrhea. On December 9, 2024, at 12:40 PM, V25 (CNA) rendered incontinence care to R10 who was wet with urine and had a bowel movement. V25 positioned R10 on her right side to clean the rectal and buttocks area. V25 proceeded to place a new incontinence brief on R10 without cleaning the front perineum. 3. Face sheet shows that R7 is 60 years-old who has multiple medical diagnoses which include multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder, hydronephrosis, and hydroureter. On December 9, 2024, at 10:44 AM, R7 was resting in bed, she had a suprapubic catheter that was leaking from the insertion site as observed with V34 (Nurse). On December 10, 2024, at 9:48 AM, V25 and V27 (Both Certified Nursing Assistants/CNA) rendered hygiene care to R7 which include incontinence care. V25 wiped R7's left groin and outer labia, then she proceeded to clean the back perineum and placed a new incontinence brief. There was an ABD (army battle dressing) pad on R7's abdominal fold which was heavily saturated with urine. V25 changed the ABD pad without cleaning the skin of the abdominal folds and the catheter tube. In addition, V25 did not ensure the labial folds and right groin were cleaned. On December 11, 2024, at 2:25 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated when providing incontinence care, the staff should clean the whole peri-area from front to back to prevent skin breakdown and UTI. R7's suprapubic care plan catheter shows to keep skin clean and dry. The facility's suprapubic catheter care policy dated September 2005 showed, The purpose of this procedure is to prevent infection of the resident's urinary tract.

R56 has multiple diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, urinary incontinence, chronic kidney disease, based on the face sheet.
Residents Affected - Some R56's quarterly MDS dated [DATE], showed that the resident is cognitively intact and required maximum assistance from the staff with most of her ADLs (activities of daily living) including toileting hygiene. The same MDS showed that R56 was frequently incontinent of both bowel and bladder functions. On December 10, 2024, at 2:20 PM, in the presence of V3 (Nursing Supervisor), V10 (Certified Nursing Assistant) provided incontinence care to R56. R56's disposable brief was wet with urine. Using one side of the disposable cloth, V10 wiped R56's left groin area once, then wiped the resident's perineal area (front/middle area) in an up and down stroke once. V10 then folded the same used disposable cloth, wiped R56's right groin area once, then again wiped the resident's perineal area (front/middle area) in an up and down stroke once. V10 did not separate R56's labial folds to ensure that it was cleaned. On December 11, 2024, at 10:17 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that V10 should have used multiple disposable cloths or at least used the different sides of the disposable cloth to wipe the middle perineal area of R56 after wiping the groin area, to prevent cross contamination and potential infection, during urinary incontinence care. V2 added that V10 should have separated the resident's labial folds during the urinary incontinence care to ensure that the area was thoroughly cleaned and to ensure and maintain perineal hygiene. The facility's incontinence care guideline last revised by the facility in June 2021 showed, Incontinence care is provided to keep residents as dry, comfortable and odor free as possible. The facility policy and procedure regarding perineal care revised in August 2008 showed, The purpose of this procedure are to provide cleanliness and comfort to the resident, to prevent infections and skin irritation, and to observe the resident's skin condition.

Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide meaningful activity to a resident who is bed bound and is diagnosed with dementia. This applies to 1 of 4 residents (R7) reviewed for dementia in the sample of 18.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include: Face sheet shows that R7 is 60 years-old who has multiple medical diagnoses which include multiple sclerosis, unspecified dementia, unspecified severity with other behavioral disturbance, major depressive disorder, stage 4 pressure ulcer to left and right buttocks, stage 4 pressure ulcer to sacral region, osteomyelitis of vertebra, sacral and sacrococcygeal region, gastrostomy, colostomy, muscle spasm, unspecified pain, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder. Minimum Data Set (MDS) dated [DATE], showed R7 is alert and oriented and totally dependent on staff for activities of daily living care. From December 9 through December 10, 2024, there were multiple observations of R7 screaming repeatedly for a nurse to come. On December 9, 2024, at 1:07 PM, V34 (Nurse) stated that it was R7's behavior to yell for staff because she wants someone to sit with her inside the bedroom. On December 10, 2024, at 11:05 AM, R7 was yelling for a nurse. Staff would come and asked R7 what she needed, and they would give it to her like water, coffee, and repositioning. However, the moment that staff step out of the bedroom, R7 would start yelling again for staff to come. It was also observed during care that R7 was calm and cooperative with staff. But when staff left her to assist other residents, she started yelling again. Surveyor asked R7 if she wanted to get up from bed to join the group activities, R7 refused and said she prefers to stay in bed. On December 10, 2024 at 11:21 AM, there were three CNAs (V11, V25, and V27) sitting at the nurses' station talking while R7 was yelling for staff. When surveyor approached V29 (Nurse) who was also at the nurses' station to ask how they manage R7's behavior, V29 said that R7 was prescribed Depakote three times a day for her behavior. R7 continued to yell for a nurse, however V11, V25, and V27 remained at the nurses' station without checking on what R7 needed. At 1:40 PM on December 10, 2024, R7 was observed yelling for a nurse, but nobody came in to check. On December 11, 2024, at 11:14 AM, V23 (Social Service Director) stated R7 has behavior like yelling for the nurse. Any staff members should respond to R7's calling. The facility does one to one activity for R7. It does not matter how many times a resident calls, the staff have to respond to the resident and offer activity. On December 11, 2024, at 11:36 AM, V30 (Activity Director) stated R7 has a yelling behavior. They provide a daily pop in visit, they give a daily newsletter, and R7 loves chatting with the staff. R7 doesn't like getting up for activities. She likes to talk. They ensure that she has snacks. As far as activity participation, they don't have anything for her. Prior to hospitalization she likes to participate in nail care activity. V30 added, maybe she could talk R7 into participating in the nail activity. V30 also said that R7 likes watching TV, which is one of her activities. It was observed from December 9 through December 11, 2024, that R7's TV was on, even when she was yelling out for a staff. On December 11, 2024, at 11:52 AM, when asked if R7 wanted to watch what she

was watching she said no and she wants to watch another program. Surveyor asked where her TV (television) remote control was, R7 stated she does not know. Surveyor looked for it and found it on top of the window stool, which was beyond R7's reached. On December 11, 2024, at 11:52 AM, R7 stated nobody comes in to interact with her except when they give her incontinence care and medication. Nobody comes to sit down and have real interaction with her. They don't give her newsletter because they know she doesn't like reading. Nobody came in that morning for a pop-in visit. V30 presented a copy of R7's activity log for December 2024. It showed that they did a current event news (daily newsletter), pop-in visit, and activity cart, which R7 said that it did not happen. On December 11, 2024, at 2:27 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that staff should provide meaningful activities for a resident for quality of life. R7's has multiple care plans addressing her psychosocial well-being and behavior. Care plan dated October 4, 2024, shows R7 has limited social interactions with her peers due to limited independent mobility. The same care plan shows Staff to provide resident opportunities to interact with peers through activities or through 1:1 visit. Care plan regarding behavioral symptoms dated March 4, 2021, with a target date of January 20, 2025, shows, resident displays behavioral symptoms not directed towards others as evidenced by; resident frequently calling out into the hallway for the nurse instead of utilizing her call light for assistance. The same care plan shows interventions which include, anticipate resident's needs to decrease verbal behavioral symptoms, and provide diversional activities to reduce behavioral symptoms. Facility's undated activities policy shows, It is the policy of this facility to provide an activity program to the residents which is appropriate to their needs and interest and capacity to participate and benefit. Activities are designed to stimulate physical and mental capabilities to obtain the optimal social, physical, and emotional state. Individual resident activities will be planned in accordance with any limitations set by the attending physician. The same policy shows in-part under standards that, 6. Activity programming shall include but not limited to: b. Activities specifically suited for residents unable to leave their rooms. j. Individual programs provided on a one-to-one basis. In addition, it also shows, 7. Programming will be designed to meet, in accordance with the comprehensive assessments, the interests and the physical, mental and psychosocial well-being of each resident. There was no evidence of activity assessment or documentation showing that meaningful activities were being provided for R7.

Ensure meals and snacks are served at times in accordance with resident’s needs, preferences, and requests. Suitable and nourishing alternative meals and snacks must be provided for residents who want to eat at non-traditional times or outside of scheduled meal times.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to provide bedtime snacks in accordance with their menu. This applies to 5 of 5 (R9, R23, R49, R56, R61) residents who attended the resident counsel meeting and expressed their concerns regarding the availability of bedtime snacks in the sample of 18. The findings include: On December 10, 2024, at 10:05 AM, during the resident meeting, when asked about the availability of bedtime snacks, R49 (Resident Council [NAME] President) stated they are only served peanut butter sandwiches every night and not all the residents get to have one. R61 (Resident Council President) agreed and stated the staff do not pass out the snacks and only the residents who can get to the nurses' station are able to get the sandwich. R49 resides on the first floor and stated the staff do not pass out the snacks. R61 resides on the second floor. R49 and R61 also stated the peanut butter sandwiches that are served are stale. R9, R23 and R56 all agreed that the bedtime snacks are not passed out by staff, not available to all residents who want them, and only peanut butter sandwiches are served. On December 11, 2024, V1 (Administrator) provided a menu titled ECC NCS Snacks and Always Available Menu Regular page 3 of 4. The Menu listed each day Sunday through Saturday, and identified food items always available for starters, lunch, dinner, and PM snacks.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to monitor refrigerator temperatures, failed to label and date potentially hazardous food items, and failed to store food to prevent cross contamination of food items. The facility also failed to ensure dietary staff use facial hair covers while in the kitchen. This failure affects all residents receiving food from the kitchen. The findings include: The facility roster dated December 9, 2024, showed census of 74 residents in the facility. The diet type report dated December 9, 2024, showed 71 residents receive food from the facility's kitchen. On December 9, 2024, at 9:27 AM during the initial tour of the kitchen with V20 (Dietary Manager) the reach in refrigerator #1 had milk and cheeses in it and no thermometer in the refrigerator. The thermometer that is a part of the refrigerator was not functional. V20 stated that staff checks temperatures and records these temperatures in a logbook. The logbook of the refrigerator temperatures for December 5 through December 9, 2024, were reviewed and noted to be blank. V20 stated he did not check the temperature of the refrigerator today. V20 was also observed with a mustache and beard and V20 was not wearing a beard covering during this tour. In the walk-in refrigerator, a tray of partially covered shredded pork was in the walk-in refrigerator, with a date of 12/13/2024. The label did not identify the food item. V20 confirmed that the food item should be completely covered to prevent contamination. In the walk-in freezer there was a large aluminum pan of what V20 described as pork chops. The pork chops had cellophane plastic on top of them that was not completely sealed all around. The pork chops had frost around them, and a thick layer of ice on the top of about half of the pork chops. The ice was about 1.5 inches thick in some places. There was no date on the pork chops. V20 stated that the fan is dripping on the pork chops and stated that the facility is in the process of fixing the fan. V20 stated he will throw the pork chops away today. On December 11, 2024, at 9:20 AM with V20, observed the pork chops that were not labeled and almost completely covered in a thick layer of ice still in the freezer, in the same spot they were on 12/9/2024 and 12/10/24 (below the leaking fan.)

Residents Affected - Some
On December 11, 2024, at 10:17 AM, V2 (Director of Nursing) stated that the staff should remove their gloves and perform hand hygiene, either hand washing or use of the hand sanitizer after providing incontinence care to a resident because the procedure is considered a dirty task. The staff then should apply a new pair of gloves before performing a clean task such as applying a barrier cream to a resident and before touching and/or manipulating resident's personal stuff (brief, blanket, pillow) and equipment (bed remote control) to prevent cross contamination and infection. The facility's handwashing/hand hygiene policy dated March 2020 showed, It is the policy of the facility to assure staff practice recognized handwashing/hand hygiene procedures as a primary means to prevent the spread of infections among residents, personnel, and visitors. Alcohol based hand rubs (ABHR) can be used for hand hygiene when hands are not visibly soiled or contaminated with blood or bodily fluids. The policy showed in-part under specifications that, 4. When hands are not visibly soiled, employees may use an alcohol-based hand rub (foam, gel, liquid) containing at least 60% alcohol in all of the following situations: . g. before moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during resident care; h. before and after putting on and upon removal of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), including gloves; i. after contact with a resident's intact skin; . l. after contact with potentially infectious material; m. after removing gloves. 5. On December 9, 2024, at 11:20 AM, V25 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) rendered incontinence care to R13 who was wet with urine. V25 wiped R13's groins, removed R13's soiled incontinence brief and replaced with a clean one, and pulled R13's pants back in place while wearing the same soiled gloves. 6. R10 was on Enhance Barrier Precaution due to stage 4 pressure ulcer on right buttock. On December 9, 2024, at 12:40 PM, V25 (CNA) rendered incontinence care to R10 who was wet with urine and had a bowel movement. V25 cleaned R10's rectum and buttocks and placed a new incontinence brief and helped reposition R10. V25 then removed her gloves and washed her hands and proceeded to assist R10 to get dressed. However, V25 did not wear full PPE (personal protective equipment) such as the gown. 7. On December 10, 2024, at 9:48 AM, V25 and V27 (Both CNAs) rendered hygiene and incontinence care to R7. V27 emptied the colostomy bag, changed her gloves and helped reposition R7 during care without hand hygiene in between tasks. V25 cleaned R7 from the face to the perineum, assisted to reposition R7, and placed a new incontinence brief and clean linen while wearing the same soiled gloves all throughout the care. 8. On December 11, 2024, at 8:41 AM, V26 (CNA) rendered incontinence care to R54 who was wet with urine. V26 assisted R54 in getting dressed. V26 assisted R54 to sit up at the edge of the bed, put

On December 11, 2024, at 2:22 PM, V2 (Director of Nursing/DON) stated that staff should perform hand hygiene and change their gloves in between tasks to prevent cross contamination and prevent spread of infection.
Residents Affected - Some 4. R63's EMR showed R63 was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses that included bilateral osteoarthritis of knees, dementia, acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia, anxiety, and congestive heart failure. R63's MDS dated , November 12, 2024, showed R63 was cognitively intact. R63 was incontinent of both bowel and bladder. R63 required substantial/ maximal assistance with oral care, and personal hygiene (shaving, combing hair, nail care). R63 was dependent on staff for showering/bathing, and toileting. R63's care plan showed R63 is incontinent of bowel and bladder and interventions implemented staff are to check as required for incontinence and clean the perineal area with each incontinence episode. On December 10, 2024, at 10:07 AM, V4 (CNA/Certified Nurse Assistant), V5 (Restorative Aide), and V6 (CNA) entered R63's room with supplies to provide incontinence care. All three CNAs applied gloves without performing hand hygiene first. V5 was noted to double glove. V5 pulled down the covers and lifted up R63's gown, the brief was saturated with urine and liquid stool had leaked out of the brief in the front, back, and on the sides. There was stool on her inner legs and on the cloth pad under her and also on the bottom bed sheet. V5 used a couple of disposable wipes and cleaned the groin area and then cleaned down the middle with the same wipe. V5 repeated this many times until R63 was cleaned. With the same gloves, V5 assisted R63 to turn onto her right side away from her and towards V4. There was a large amount of liquid stool and mucous noted. V5 cleaned R63 from front to back and then pushed the soiled linen under R63. While wearing the same gloves, V5 placed the new clean linen under R63, and helped her turn onto her back and over onto her left side facing V5 with V4's assistance. V4 used the wipes and cleaned R63 from front to back. V4 pulled out the soiled linen and placed it into a plastic bag that was on the end of the bed. V6 CNA tied up the linen bag and placed it on the floor near the door. With the same gloves, V4 pulled out the clean linen from under R63, and helped turn R63 onto her back and she pulled the incontinence brief up between R63's legs. The staff did not perform hand hygiene before care or during care. Gloves were removed as they left the room and V4 showed surveyor where they went into another hallway to wash their hands. On December 11, 2024, at 9:15 AM, V2 (Interim DON/Director of Nursing) said hand hygiene should be performed before putting on gloves and before starting care. The gloves should be removed after cleaning an area and before moving to the next area. Hand hygiene should be performed after removing the gloves and before putting on new gloves. Staff should not touch the clean linen or the resident with the same gloves they had cleaned a soiled area with. Once care is done and resident is comfortable, gloves should be removed, and hand hygiene performed before leaving the room. V2 also said dirty linen in a bag should never be placed on the floor.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement transmission-based precautions as required, failed to perform hand hygiene during provision of care, failed to change gloves during incontinence care and placed soiled linen on the floor. This applies to 7 of 7 residents (R7, R10, R13, R40, R54, R56, R63) reviewed for infection control in the sample of 18.
