observation, interview, record review and facility policy review the facility failed to ensure staff wore
appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when caring for a resident on the South unit who had
orders for Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP). This affected one Resident (Resident #51) of three
residents reviewed for infection control, and had the potential to affect an additional 23 residents (#33, #34,
#35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #52, #53, #54, #55 and
#56) living on the South unit. The facility identified 24 residents in EBP (Residents #4, #10, #11, #14, #20,
#27, #30, #31, #33, #41, #47, #48, #50, #51, #52, #54, #58, #75, #81, #86, #87, #88, #97, and #103). The
facility census was 106.
