them, V7 (Dietary Manager) stated the menus she had provided this surveyor were all she had. V7 stated
they have a list of items they have to serve R16 for protein. When asked how she ensured R16 was getting
the recommended protein each day, V7 stated if the regular menu calls for four ounces of protein we try to
give R16 four ounces of a protein substitute. V7 stated, Every so often I feel sorry for him and go buy him a
veggie burger. This surveyor shared the observation of R16 asking for a burger and being served two boiled
eggs, V7 stated sometimes we give him a veggie burger and he won't eat it. This surveyor shared the
observation of R16 being served a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with cooked broccoli and not eating the
sandwich. V7 stated R16 likes peanut butter. When asked how well peanut butter and broccoli went
together, V7 stated she wouldn't want it. V7 stated R16 will usually tell them if he wants peanut butter or
eggs. When asked how many ounces of protein was in an egg, V7 stated she didn't know without checking.
When asked if it was documented somewhere for her to provide to this surveyor, V7 stated she didn't have
it documented anywhere she would have to figure it up. When asked how much protein was in a peanut
butter sandwich, V7 stated she wasn't sure and she didn't know what the dietary staff were doing. V7 stated
R16's protein options were peanut butter, eggs, cottage cheese, and cheese. When asked if she had
documentation of what protein V7 had been served the past month, V7 stated, Probably not. When asked if
she didn't know the amount of protein in an egg or on a peanut butter sandwich how did she know R16 was
getting the recommended daily amount of protein, V7 stated, I guess we don't. V7 stated the dietitian just
told us to give him two boiled eggs so that is what we do.
On 04/10/24 at 11:50 AM, V17 (Registered Dietitian) stated an egg has 5 or 6 grams of protein. when asked
if two boiled eggs would be equivalent to a hamburger, V17 stated she couldn't answer that because it
would depend on the product being used. V17 stated she hasn't been the dietitian at this facility long and
isn't familiar with R16. V17 stated if the facility did not have a vegetarian spreadsheet she would check to
see how much protein was served on a regular diet and then verify R16 was served the same amount of
protein. When asked if he was assessed as needing 86 grams of protein a day would she expect that be
what he was served, V7 stated that is estimated based on weight. V7 stated most menus provide for 90-100
grams of protein in their menu base.
On 04/10/24 at 1:19 PM, when asked how much protein R16 was to have in a 24 hour period, V20 (Cook)
stated,The way she explained it to me, he has to have what everyone else is getting. When asked who
explained it to her and when they explained it to her, V20 stated, V7 (Dietary Manager) explained it today,
(4/10/24).

precautions these residents were on. V2 (DON/Director of Nurses) and V3 (Regional Consultant) stated
there were no transmission-based precaution signs on those doors and they didn't know why the residents
were on isolation precautions, or if they were.
On 4/8/24 at 3:13 PM, V2 (DON/Director of Nursing) stated she wasn't sure why there were no signs
posted on the door of R2, R21, and R23's rooms. V2 stated they are on enhanced precautions and the

either in front of the wrong doors or those residents were no longer on precautions. V2 stated R2 used to
have a catheter and the bin in front of R23's door should have been in front of R22's door and she wasn't
sure why R21 had one in front of her door since R21 wasn't on precautions.
On 04/08/24 at 3:18 PM, V18 (RN/Registered Nurse) stated the containers holding PPE have been in the
hallway for a while. V18 stated there were signs on the doors but maybe they took them down when they
painted. When asked when they painted, V18 stated she wasn't sure. When asked if staff knew what PPE to
wear in those rooms without the signs, V18 stated, they should.
On 04/08/24 at 03:35 PM, V10 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant) stated she remembered there being
transmission-based precaution signs on some of the doors. V10 stated she would know what PPE to wear
in each room without the signs, because they tell them in report. V10 stated they told her on 4/8/24 that she
was to wear gloves in R24's room. This surveyor reviewed the Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign located on
R24's door that documented to wear gown and gloves when providing care to R24, V10 stated she didn't
remember them telling her to wear a gown. V10 stated she was trained on Enhanced Barrier Precautions.
On 04/10/24 at 3:49 PM, V2 (DON) stated she would expect staff to wear gloves and probably a gown
when providing care to residents on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. V2 stated she wasn't aware of
Enhanced Barrier Precautions until yesterday 4/9/24. When asked if she trained staff after she became

R12's undated current Care Plan documents the following intervention under Patient Outcomes, 4/8/24
enhanced barrier precautions r/t (related to) wound.
On 4/9/24 at 1:53 PM, this surveyor entered R12's room with V9 (LPN/Licensed Practical Nurse) and
observed a sign on the door indicating R12 was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. V12 (CNA) entered
R12's room to assist V9. V9 and V12 were wearing gloves and neither V9 nor V12 donned any other PPE.
V9 and V12 assisted R12 to reposition in bed and V9 (LPN) removed the dirty bandage from R12's coccyx.
V9 removed the glove from her right hand and left the dirty glove on her left hand. V9 stated she didn't have
two gloves to be able to replace both gloves. V9 did not perform hand hygiene on her right hand. V9
attempted to don a glove on her right hand without touching it with the dirty gloved, left hand. V9 was able
to get the glove most of the way on her right hand by wiggling her fingers into place. V9 was not able to get
the glove completely in place and pulled it the rest of the way onto her right hand using her left hand that
still had the dirty glove on it. V9 cleaned the Stage 4 pressure ulcer located on R12's coccyx using her right
hand. V9 applied the ordered treatment with a tongue depressor using her right hand. V9 attempted to take
the sticky back off the dressing using her right hand only but was not able to get it completely off, so she
used both hands to apply the dressing to the pressure ulcer. V9 removed both gloves, left the room, and
washed her hands in the bathroom located across the hall from R12's room. This surveyor reviewed the
Enhanced Precaution sign located on R12's door with V9. V9 stated R12 doesn't have any growth in her
wound so it is probably in place just because R12 has a wound. V9 stated she never wears anything other
than gloves when she administers the treatment to R12's pressure ulcer.
On 04/10/24 at 3:49 PM, V2 (DON) stated hand hygiene should be performed after removing a dirty
dressing. This surveyor reviewed the observation of V9 (LPN) attempting to change one glove to make a
clean and dirty hand and asked V2 what her expectation would be in that situation. V2 stated V9 should
have gotten more gloves.

Precautions are needed to interrupt transmission. Notes document in part Contact Precautions: are
designed to reduce the risk of transmission of epidemiologically important microorganisms by direct or
indirect contact. Direct contact transmission involves skin to skin contact and physical transfer of
microorganisms to a susceptible host from an infected or colonized person, such as occurs when personnel
turn resident, bathe residents, or also can occur between two residents (e.g:by hand contact), with one
serving as the source of infectious microorganisms and the other as a susceptible host. Indirect contact
transmission involves contact of susceptible host with a contaminated intermediate object usually inanimate
in the resident's environment. Contact precautions apply to specified residents known or suspected to be
infected or colonized(presence of microorganism in or on a residents, but without clinical signs and
symptoms of infection) with epidemiologically important microorganisms that can be transmitted by direct or
indirect contact. Staff procedures for contact precautions include: Use of Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) including gloves and gowns for all interactions that may involve contact with the patient or the
patients environment. Donning PPE upon room and entry and properly discarding before exiting the patient
room is done to contain pathogens, use disposable or dedicated patient care equipment when accessible
for things such as blood pressure cuffs, thermometers, etc, limit transportation or movement of the patient
outside of the room to medically-necessary purpose, and patient should be in a single patient room if
available, if unavailable then decision should be made balancing risks to the other patient.

On 4/10/24 at 2:37 PM, R16 and R22 were in a room together. It was smaller sized bedroom with two beds
and two night stands and one inset dresser. This room had limited area to move around inside.
On 04/10/24 between 2:30 PM and 2:37 PM, V3 (regional consultant) measured R1, R16, R22, R26, R27's
bedroom sizes. The rooms measured 12 feet 8 inches by 11 feet 11.5 inches, indicating that the rooms
were 151.47 square (sq.) feet (ft.), or 75.74 sq. ft. per bed. The measurements did not include the closet or
the inset dresser area.
On 4/8/24 at 10:30 AM, V1 (Administrator) stated that both halls of the facility (where R1, R16, R22, R26,
R27 reside) have a room size waiver. V1 stated currently most residents do not have a roommate but all
rooms are still certified for two residents. V1 stated rooms 1 - 18, 20 - 25, and 30 - 33 are all waivered
rooms and don't meet the proper room size. V1 stated they were all Medicare and Medicaid certified.
A facility room roster provided by the facility on 4/8/24 and dated 4/4/24, documents that R1, R16, R22,
R26, R27 reside in the rooms observed and measured by V3.
Inquiries regarding the size of these rooms during the survey from 04/08/24 to 04/11/24, found no concerns
or negative interviews from residents or families of residents who reside in the waivered rooms. During an
interview, on 04/10/24 at 10:10 AM, R16, R22, R26, and R27 voiced no concerns with the size of their
rooms.
Review of 6 months of Resident Council meeting minutes indicated no concerns related to the size of the
rooms.
