Provide care and assistance to perform activities of daily living for any resident who is unable.
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 assistance to dependent residents
requiring assistance with ADL (activities of daily living ) such as basic grooming hygiene, and toileting
assistance for three (R1, R5, R6) of six residents reviewed for ADL care.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
1. R1 is a [AGE] year old with diagnosis of dementia, functional quadriplegia, obstructive uropathy and
history of falls.
MDS (Minimum Data Set) dated 10/3/23 shows R1 as totally dependent on staff for almost all activities of
daily living including toileting, personal hygiene, and bathing. Care plan showed resident has an ADL Self
Care Performance Deficit related to generalized weakness, impaired range of motion, decrease activity
tolerance, easy fatigability, and impaired mobility. Interventions: Bed mobility: requires total assist x 2 staff
participation to reposition and turn in bed. Eating: requires extensive assist x 1 staff participation to eat.
Toilet use: requires total assist x 2 staff with all toileting needs. Hygiene: requires 1 total assistance with
personal hygiene care. Call light: place call light within accessible reach.
On 12/16/23 at 10:10 AM, R1 was observed in bed atop an air mattress with a pump that dangled on one
hook at the foot of the bed. There was a foul sharp odor of feces upon entering the room and R1 appeared
confused and could not follow any line of questioning from the surveyor but appeared to need nursing
assistance although his call light was dangling on the floor away from the resident's reach. R1's hair was
matted and face appeared to have food remnants on his mouth and on R1's chest and hospital gown that
was soiled, wrinkled and appeared moist with sweat.
On 12/16/23 at 10:15 AM, surveyor asked V7 (CNA) when R1 was given incontinence care, V7 stated, I did
it earlier when I got in. Surveyor asked if anyone assisted her in turning and repositioning the resident in
order to perform incontinence care, V7 stated, No I did it myself. Surveyor asked if the resident ate
breakfast, V7 stated, Yes, he eats on his own. We just get him up and he can eat by himself.
On 12/17/23 at 10:45 AM, V13 agency CNA was asked whether R1 was given breakfast or if he had eaten
his breakfast, V13 stated, Yes. He ate his breakfast and he can eat on his own. Interview with V5 (LPN) at
10:50 AM disputes V13's statement that R1 is capable of eating on his own and requires 1 person assist to
eat and as per care plan. Surveyor asked who would be responsible to assist in feeding the resident, V5
stated, It would be the CNA assigned to that particular section and today that would be V13.

condition, V15 stated, I was just going to change her. I went to get supplies so I can change her linens.
Surveyor asked if she normally would leave the resident naked in bed alone to get supplies, V15 stated, No
but I just changed her diaper and I went to get new sheets. After V15 was changing the linens on the bed,
V15 started putting a clean gown on the resident to cover up her body, surveyor asked the aide to stop and
requested to check the incontinence pad on the resident. V15 stated, I already changed that. Surveyor
asked to see the under the incontinence pad to verify check her skin. V15 removed the incontinence brief
and revealed a large amount of feces that spread up toward the residents vaginal area. V15 stated, She
must have done that while I went to get linens because I had just changed her.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection control procedures
were followed and implemented to prevent the spread and transmission of COVID-19 within the facility
during a COVID outbreak. Facility staff failed to conduct proper hand hygiene, gowning and doffing, and
proper wearing of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to contain the spread of infectious disease. This
failure has the potential to affect all 231 residents currently residing in the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
At time of entrance, facility provided census indicating 231 residents currently in the facility.
On 12/16/23 at 9:50 AM, surveyor entered the facility and asked V4 receptionist if there was any COVID-19
in the facility whereupon V4 indicated that she was uncertain if there was any at all because she only
worked part time on Saturdays and Sundays and was not informed of any. Surveyor asked who the person
in charge was for the weekend, V4 stated that V3 (Social Service Director) was the manager on duty. V4
was asked if there were any COVID in the facility and indicated that there was but was not certain the
number of residents affected. V4 was asked by surveyor how as the manager on duty for the day, how she
could contain the spread of COVID-19 within the facility, if she did not know which floors were affected by
the outbreak, V4 stated, I can find out for you.
Observations on 12/16/23 upon entrance to the facility showed no warning signs for visitors that the facility
was under current COVID-19 outbreak status.
On 12/116/23 at 10:40 AM, V3 (director of nursing) upon arrival to the facility later provided the accurate
number of residents to the surveyor which were a total of 231 current residents and confirmed that there
was a COVID-19 outbreak in the facility which included 15 COVID positive residents that resided on the 4th
and 5th floors.
On 12/16/23 at 10:10 AM, surveyor entered the 5th floor and approached V5 (LPN- licensed practical
nurse) who offered surveyor an N95 mask and face shield. V5 stated, I'm sorry sir, they should have told
you that it is required to have an N95 mask up here and also a face shield since we are on COVID outbreak
status. V5 indicated that there were COVID positive residents on the floor and that staff were required to
wear the appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) such as gloves, gown, mask and faceshield
when having any contact with the resident in the isolation room. Surveyor clarified if masks were required to
be worn on the floor and which residents were on isolation, V5 stated, Yes all staff should wear their masks
at all times especially when on this floor since this is where our COVID outbreak is, Rooms with red zone
sign are on isolation and you'll see signs on the door and isolation cart outside the door.
On 12/16/23 at 10:15 AM, V9 (Agency CNA- Certified Nursing Assistant) was observed going in and out of
R3's room which had a red zone sign outside her room and isolation bins immediately outside indicating
that the resident was on strict isolation. V9 was wearing gloves and a mask but did not wear a gown or face
shield as she proceeded to conduct patient care on R3. V9 did not wash her hands prior to wearing gloves
nor changed her gloves as she emptied the garbage and collect linens. V9 took the dirty and soiled linens,
placed them in the bag and walked out of the room to throw the bag of linens in the linen room and
returned back to R3's room without replacing her soiled gloves. Surveyor asked V9 if she was supposed to
be washing her hands in between patient care and emptying the garbage

and changing linens, V9 stated, I guess so but I'm usually on the 4th floor and this is my first time up here.
I'm agency so they didn't tell me anything about that. Surveyor asked if there were COVID patients on the
4th floor she had worked on, V9 stated, Yes I think so. I saw a lot of residents on isolation but they (referring
to nurses) don't tell us if they're on isolation or for what. Surveyor clarified what floors she worked on, V9
stated, I've worked everywhere in this building and no one has told me anything about that because I'm
agency.
At 10:30 AM V10 (LPN) was standing in the hall by her medication cart and was asked about R3 and
stated, I just got here and nobody told me anything about her. Surveyor asked if R3 was on any isolation
precautions, V10 stated, I think so but I would have to check. Review of records showed R3 to be on strict
isolation due to COVID-19 infection and readmission from the hospital. Surveyor asked if the 5th floor was
her regular floor, V10 stated, No I'm not a regular here and I float (meaning can and have worked all floors).
At 11:15 AM, R6 was observed in bed with V17 (Agency CNA) observed with a mask but no face visor as
per the facility policy when working on a floor with active COVID. V17 was using a gloved hand to clean R6
and wiping the residents feces and throwing the dirty wipes in to a bag that was strewed on to the floor.
Outside the residents room was also a dirty bag filled with linen and soiled cloths that was in the center of
the common area. Surveyor asked V17 if the bag was his, V17 stated, Yes, I put it there because I'm going
to throw it away once I'm done cleaning up (R6). Surveyor asked what was in the bag and if it should be on
the ground in the middle of the hall, V17 stated, Sorry its soiled clothes and linens from another resident I
cleaned so I put it there but I'll get rid of it as soon as I'm done here. V5 (LPN) was shown the bag in the
hall and also a bag on the ground in the resident's room, V5 stated, No that should not be there. Surveyor
asked if that was proper to maintain good infection control, V5 stated, No it is not. I will have him remove it
immediately. Surveyor asked where V17 normally works, V5 stated, (V17's) agency so he works anywhere
we are short-staffed.
Revised policy dated 11/7/22 titled COVID 19 Guidelines and Emergency Preparedness Plan reads in part
but not limited to: Inservice all staff on infection control procedures to prevent COVID 19 including but not
limited to, risk of transmission, infection control practices including frequent handwashing x at least 20
seconds or use of alcohol gel, avoiding touching of face, nose, and mouth, and avoidance of crowded
places or events, keeping a distance of 6 feet from individuals with respiratory illness, use of PPE,
Standard, Contact, and Droplet Precautions, Proper Donning and Doffing of PPEs, Extended Use and
Reuse of PPEs per CDC, staff and resident screening for COVID 19 and respiratory illness, Cough
