Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Facility's policy titled Nails (Care Of) (9/2020) shows: Policy: All residents will have clean, well-trimmed nails. Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide ADL (Activities of Daily Living) care to residents who require assistance with their ADLs. This applies to 5 of 5 residents (R2, R21, R87, R121, R149) reviewed for ADL's in a sample of 32. The findings include: 1. On 06/03/25 at 3:25 PM, R21 was in the dining room reclined and slouched in a high-back wheelchair. On the table in front of R21 was a brown semi-liquid substance with some dried areas that smelled like a bowel movement. R21 was playing with the brown substance using her left fingers like finger painting on the table. V4 (Activity Aide) told V3 (Registered Nurse/RN) that R21 needed to be cleaned up, showing V3 the brown substance. R21 was sitting in the wheelchair with a visible dried brown substance on the front of her pants and the side of the right armrest. On 06/03/25 at 3:47 PM, V6 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) and V7 (CNA) brought R21 to her room. The mechanical lift sling under R21 was soaked and soiled. After removing R21's soiled and wet pants, R21 was positioned lying on her right side while V6 was performing incontinence care with disposable personal wipes to clean a significantly soft, loose bowel movement. A line of dried stool was noted on R21's left buttock, lower hip, and upper outer thigh. V6 continued to clean the buttocks and placed her left gloved hand on the area of the dried stool. R21 had a small soft splint on her right hand. V6 and V8 said R21's hands were both cleaned. After removing the soft splint in R21's right hand, the soft splint was noted to be soiled with a brown substance. When R21's hands were wiped again with the personal disposable wipes, the wipes had shown brown soiling. As V6 and V8 prepared to transfer R21 from the bed to the wheelchair, this it was noteds that the wheelchair had a dried brown substance on the inside of its right armrest. V8 propelled R21 to the bathroom, and V6 carried the garbage in her bare hands to the soiled utility room. While cleaning R21's hands with a washcloth at the sink in the bathroom, the washcloths were visibly soiled. V6 and V8 threw the soiled washcloths into the sink when they were done. R21's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) showed R1 has diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting the right side, dementia, contracture of the right elbow, aphasia, and tinea unguium (nail fungus). The MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 04/02/2025 showed R21's cognition was severely impaired. R21 had impairment of both the upper and lower extremities on one side. The MDS shows R21 was dependent on staff for toileting, bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. R21 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The Care Plan indicated that R21 had an Activities of Daily Living (ADL) self-care deficit, requiring assistance with ADLs for hygiene, toileting, and bathing, with interventions that included two persons to perform these tasks. R21 required the use of a mechanical lift for transfers. The care plan showed R21 had bowel and bladder incontinence with a goal to be socially continent, clean, dry, and odor-free, with interventions including checking and changing R21 after incontinence episodes. R21 has impaired cognition and a deficit in the ability to self-understand due to a past cerebrovascular accident. On 06/05/2025 at 2:52 PM, V2 (DON) stated that the facility doesn't have a policy on how often a resident needs to be checked or when the incontinence brief should be changed, but it should usually 145379 Page 3 of 13 145379 06/06/2025 Alden Valley Ridge Rehab & Hcc 275 East Army Trail Road Bloomingdale, IL 60108

F 0677 be done every two hours and as needed. If the resident is soiled or wet, they should be changed. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some 145379 Page 4 of 13 145379 06/06/2025 Alden Valley Ridge Rehab & Hcc 275 East Army Trail Road Bloomingdale, IL 60108

F 0686 Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing. Level of Harm - Actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, facility failed to follow up with a Wound Consult ordered on 5/27/25 which resulted in the resident not being seen until 6/5/25. This failure resulted in a delay in Wound consult, assessment and implementation of new interventions for a pressure wound that deteriorated to an unstageable pressure injury.The findings include:R95's most recent pressure ulcer risk assessment (dated 04/22/25) showed R95 is at Mild Risk for developing pressure ulcers.On 06/03/25 at 9:51 AM, R95 was sleeping in bed. At 9:53 AM, V38 (CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant) said R95 had some redness on her backside. V38 said she was unsure if R95 had any wounds because she only cleans the skin around a dressing when providing incontinence care. At 10:07 AM, V32 (R95's POA-Power of Attorney) said that the facility had not mentioned anything about R95 having any pressure sores or open skin.On 06/04/25 at 2:10 PM, V16 (ADON-Assistant Director of Nursing/IP-Infection Preventionist) reviewed the EBP (Enhanced Barrier Precautions) list and said that R95 was not on the list since she does not have any wounds. V16 stated R95 has only exhibited some rash-like redness and was receiving treatment for Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD).On 06/05/25 at 9:49 AM, V14 (RN-Registered Nurse) said that she had already changed R95's dressing earlier that morning. V14 stated that R95 did not have any pressure-related wounds and only had redness with some open skin. Per V14, R95's current wound treatment orders were only for the prevention of pressure injury. At 10:00 AM, V14 and V34 (CNA-Certified Nursing Assistant) turned R95 to her left side and V14 removed R95's undated dressing from her sacrum. The dressing was saturated with red and yellow fluid. R95's sacral area had a round, open area, and the wound bed was covered with thick, yellow, stringy slough adhered to it. The wound had a dark gray perimeter around the slough. V14 measured the wound and stated R95's wound was a pressure sore. At 10:15 AM, V14 stated that the last time she saw R95's wound was on 06/03/25 (2 days earlier) and she described it as a little open with little slough.V14's 6/5/25 1:24 PM wound assessment showed R95 has a sacral unstageable pressure ulcer with 90% slough and moderate serosanguinous discharge, with peri-wound measuring [in cm- centimeters] 6.2 cm x 4.2 cm with a pressure ulcer in the center that measured 3.2 cm x 3 cm with an undetermined depth. R95's EMR (Electronic Medical Record) did not include any previous wound assessments for R95's pressure ulcer.R95's POS (Physician Order Sheet) showed a 5/27/2025 order from V33 (PA- Physician Assistant) for a foam dressing and Medi-honey to R95's sacrum every day and evening for skin condition. The POS also included another order for in-house Wound Consult. No other new orders or interventions were included in R95's POS to address the unstageable pressure ulcer.On 06/06/25 at 11:03 AM, V33 (PA-Physician Assistant) said that on 05/27/25, facility staff notified her regarding a skin issue with R95's and she did not examine R95's skin herself and based her order for Medi-honey on the staff's description of R95's skin. V33 confirmed that Medi-honey is for pressure-related wounds and stated that she would have ordered a different topical treatment if R95 only had redness.On 06/05/25 at 12:30 PM, V31 (Wound Doctor) said that he had been in the facility on 06/03/25 and was not notified of R95's Wound Consult order and he did not see R95. V31 confirmed that Medi-honey is not an appropriate treatment for redness or MASD as it is typically used as a debridement agent for pressure-related wounds.R95's 12/14/23 care plan showed R95 with a potential alteration in skin integrity .previously with MASD to upper inner buttock/gluteal cleft area. R95's care plan had not been updated to include her actual pressure ulcer until 6/5/25, during the survey, and nine days after the Medi-honey order.The facility's policy on Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Injury and other Skin Alterations includes identifying residents at risk for developing pressure injuries, identifying the presence of pressure injuries and/or other skin alterations, and implementing preventative measures and appropriate treatment modalities for Residents Affected - Few 145379 Page 5 of 13 145379 06/06/2025 Alden Valley Ridge Rehab & Hcc 275 East Army Trail Road Bloomingdale, IL 60108

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 ensure infection control practices. Residents Affected - Few This applies to 2 of 2 residents (R11 and R21) observed for infection control in a sample of 32. Findings include: 1. On 06/03/25 at 3:25 PM, R21 was in the dining room reclined and slouched in a highback wheelchair. On the table in front of R21 was a brown semi-liquid substance with some dried areas that had the odor of excrement. R21 was playing with the brown substance using her left fingers, like finger painting on the table. V4 (Activity Aide) brought R21 to the nurse's station and, without donning gloves, used a dry paper towel to wipe the right armrest and R21's right arm, which was covered in the brown substance. After wiping R21's arm and armrest, V4 threw away the soiled paper towel and, without performing hand hygiene, punched in the code to access the clean utility room. Without performing hand hygiene, V4 donned gloves to clean off the table in the dining room. On 06/03/25 at 3:47 PM, V6 (Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA) and V7 (CNA) brought R21 to her room. Using her dry, soiled left hand, R21 was touching V7's bare right upper arm. V7 was unaware R21's hand was soiled. V8 (CNA) assisted V6 (CNA) in lifting R21 in the total body mechanical lift. V8 instructed R21 to hold the bar on the total body mechanical lift with her left hand. R21 held the bar briefly with her left hand. The mechanical lift sling under R21 was soaked and soiled. After removing R21's soiled pants and without removing her soiled gloves, V8 opened the closet door and removed clean pants. While V6 and V8 remained in the room, V7 (CNA) removed and disposed of her gloves, put hand sanitizer into her right hand and then opened the bedroom door before using the hand sanitizer. R21 was positioned lying on her right side while V6 was performing incontinence care with disposable personal wipes to clean a significant amount of soft, loose bowel movement. A line of dried stool was noted on R21's left buttock, lower hip, and upper outer thigh. V6 continued to clean the buttocks and placed her left gloved hand on the area of the dried stool. When V6 needed to change gloves, she reported that she did not have more gloves in the room and was required to obtain some. V6 removed the soiled gloves and left the room, touching the door handle with bare hands without washing her hands or performing hand hygiene. During this time, V8 continued to clean R21's left thigh. V6 returned, and both V6 and V8 continued providing incontinence care for R21. After completing incontinence care and without removing their soiled gloves, V6 and V8 applied a clean incontinence brief to R21. V8 then removed R21's soiled shirt and assisted in donning a clean shirt R21 without changing gloves. V8 removed her soiled gloves and without performing hand hygiene, grabbed the door handle, opened the door, walked to the shower room, punched in the code, opened the door, went into another room, punched in the code of the soiled utility room, opened that door, then got on the elevator saying she needed to go to the second floor to find a clean mechanical lift sling for R21. At 4:06 PM, as V6 and V8 prepared to transfer R21 from the bed to the wheelchair, R21's wheelchair had a dried, brown substance on the inside of its right armrest. Once R21 was in the wheelchair, V6 and V8 (CNAs) separated the soiled linens into a separate bag from the garbage, then placed both the garbage and the soiled linen bag onto the bedside table before closing each bag. V6 and V8 each removed their gloves but did not perform hand hygiene. V8 held the handrest of the highback wheelchair to propel R21 to the bathroom, and V6 carried the garbage in her bare hands to the soiled utility room. While cleaning R21's hands with a washcloth at the sink in the bathroom, V6 and V8 threw the soiled washcloths into the 145379 Page 11 of 13 145379 06/06/2025 Alden Valley Ridge Rehab & Hcc 275 East Army Trail Road Bloomingdale, IL 60108
