On June 10, 2024 at 11:47 AM, there was a sign on R12's door that showed enhanced barrier precautions. R12 has a urinary drainage device, colostomy bag, peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), and a wound to his left heel. V10 CNA (certified nursing assistant) emptied R12's urinary drainage bag. V9 (restorative CNA) and V10 performed peri care to R12 and transferred R12 out of bed. V9 and V10 only had gloves on and did not have any gowns on. R12's Care Plan revised on May 20, 2024 shows, R12 is under enhanced barrier precaution due to colostomy status, PICC to right upper arm, and presence of urinary catheter. Gown and gloves should be worn while providing high-contact resident care. On June 11, 2024 at 12:44 PM, V5 (Infection Control Nurse) said staff should wear gowns and gloves when providing cares, toileting residents, and handling indwelling devices when residents are on enhanced barrier precautions. V5 said enhanced barrier precautions are to protect from transmitting infections. The facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy dated August 2022 shows, Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) are used as an infection prevention and control intervention to reduce the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to residents. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use during high contact resident care activities when contact precaution do not otherwise apply.
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to maintain and follow the facility's Water Management plan to detect and prevent waterborne pathogens. The facility failed to ensure staff donned the necessary personal protection equipment (PPE) for a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. These failures have the potential to affect all 35 residents in the facility. The findings include: 1. The facility's Long-Term Care Facility Application for Medicare and Medicaid form dated 6/10/2024 showed a resident census of 35. On 6/12/24 at 10:46 AM, the facility's Health Center Prevention and Control of Legionella policy dated 12/21/2017 was reviewed with V7 (Director of Plant Operations). The policy showed no facility water flow diagrams or assessments identifying where Legionella and/or other waterborne pathogens could potentially grow and spread. The policy showed the facility will implement procedures that inhibit microbial growth in building water systems that reduce the growth and spread of legionella and other opportunistic pathogens in water . The environmental services department will be responsible for maintenance of the (facility's) water sources. They will also complete random testing of at least three water supply sources within the health centers and communities twice per year unless more frequent testing is mandated by applicable law .
