the hallway, and there was a strong odor of urine noted throughout the unit. This affected 22 residents in
memory care unit of 94 residents reviewed for environment. The facility census was 94.Findings include:
Observations on 07/15/25 from 3:22 P.M.- to 4:05 P.M., a tour of the facility was completed. The facility had
an East Unit that was comprised of 100 and 200 halls. They had a North Unit that included the 500, 600,
and 700 halls. They had a secure memory care unit that included the 300 and 400 halls. No odors or
evidence of residents not receiving proper incontinence care was noted when touring the East and the
North Units. Those areas of the facility were free of any odors and none of the residents observed showed
signs of incontinence as evidenced by saturated clothing. The memory care unit was toured last and once it
was entered and the surveyor walked behind the closed double doors a strong odor of urine was prevalent.
The memory care unit was entered at 3:42 P.M. There had been some new vinyl flooring installed
throughout the memory care unit. The walls were in disrepair as there was evidence of some damaged
walls, peeling wallpaper, and missing baseboards along the base of the wall throughout both hallsOn
07/15/25 at 3:50 P.M., an interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #145 revealed the facility was
going to have a maintenance party where all the maintenance men from surrounding sister facilities came
in and helped with the remodeling on the unit. LPN #145 reported the floors had been replaced about six
weeks ago and they had started to patch and sand the walls on the 400 hall. She denied much work, other
than the floor, was done on the 300 hall. She indicated it was hit and miss when they were there to work on
it. She denied they had any outside construction companies or other contractors to do the work. She
reported there used to be carpet in most areas of the unit that had been torn up and replaced. The missing
baseboards used to have about eight or nine inches of carpet that came up the base of the wall that had
been removed. They had not replaced the baseboard yet and were working on prepping the walls before
they painted over the wallpaper. She believed the plan was to paint them gray. She conObservation on
07/16/25 at 9:20 A.M. in the memory care unit (300 and 400 Halls) revealed a strong smell of ammonia with
two housekeepers actively cleaning.Interview on 07/16/25 at 9:26 A.M. with Maintenance Director #118
confirmed the 300 /400 hall memory care unit is under renovation. There is a new floor, and the wall repair
is in progress. Maintenance Director #118 was reluctant to state the extent of the flood damage or the
timeline for fixing the cosmetic damage but confirmed the strong odors in the memory care area were from
the cleaning products used to clean the walls this morning.Observation on 07/16/25 at 1:30 P.M. revealed a
strong odor of urine in the memory care unit 400 hall. Most residents were in the common area. The
strongest urine odor was down the hall away from the common area.Interview on 07/16/25 at 1:35 P.M.

Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** THE
FOLLOWING DEFICIENCY REPRESENTS AN INCIDENT OF PAST NONCOMPLIANCE THAT WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CORRECTED PRIOR TO THIS SURVEY.Based on record review, review of a facility
self-reporting incident (SRI), review of the facility's related investigation, staff interview, resident interview,
family interview, and review of the facility's Abuse Policy, the facility failed to protect Resident #14's right to
be free from sexual abuse by Resident #97. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and actual harm
beginning on 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M. when Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #119 observed Resident #97,
who had a history of sexually inappropriate behaviors engaged in non-consensual sexual intercourse with
Resident #14, a cognitively impaired and non-interviewable female resident, who lacked the cognitive ability
to provide consent to sexual activity. CNA #119 observed Resident #97 lying on top of Resident #14 with
his shorts pulled down to his ankles and Resident #14 was noted to be completely naked. Resident #14
was transferred to the emergency room for an evaluation including a SANE exam and a rape kit. Blood
work was completed to rule out sexually transmitted diseases (Hepatitis/HIV) and Resident #14 received
prophylaxis treatment. Resident #14's immediate reaction at the time of the incident included she was
tearful, had scared facial expressions, and reported he hurt me. This affected one resident (#14) of two
residents reviewed for sexual abuse. The facility census was 94. On 07/17/25 at 1:12 P.M., the Director of
Nursing (DON), Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), Regional Nurse, Regional Administrator, and
Administrator in Training (AIT) were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M. when the
facility failed to protect Resident #14's right to be free from sexual abuse by Resident #97. The Immediate
Jeopardy was removed on 07/09/25 and subsequently corrected on 07/10/25 when the facility implemented
the following corrective actions:On 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M. the CNA observed Resident #14 and Resident
#97 in Resident #14's bed. Resident #14 was completely naked, and Resident #97 had his shorts pulled
down to his ankles lying on top of Resident #14. The CNA immediately intervened and stopped the sexual
abuse from occurring separating the two residents. Resident #97 was placed on one-on-one staff
supervision to ensure he remained separated from Resident #14, and Resident #14 remained free of
further sexual abuse. On 07/08/25 at 7:25 P.M. the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on duty called the
facility DON and notified her of the incident between Resident #14 and Resident #97. The DON in turn
notified the Executive Director (ED). On 07/08/25 at 7:35 P.M. the DON initiated the facility's investigation of
the alleged sexual abuse of Resident #14 and interviewed all on-duty staff at the time of the incident that
included four LPNs and four CNAs. On 07/08/25 at 7:45 P.M. the DON and the two LPNs on-duty initiated
resident interviews and/or head-to-toe skin assessments on all current residents, excluding the residents
residing on the facility's secured dementia unit. All other residents were interviewed and skin assessment
completed with no negative findings. On 07/08/25 at 7:49 P.M. the DON completed a head-to-toe
assessment on Resident #14. On 07/08/25 at 8:00 P.M., the Executive Director submitted the initial
self-reported incident (SRI) of alleged sexual abuse of Resident #14 by Resident #97 to the Ohio
Department of Health (ODH) via ODH Application Gateway. On 07/08/25 at 8:04 P.M. the DON called 911
to report the sexual abuse of Resident #14 to local law enforcement and local emergency medical service
(EMS). On 07/08/25 at 8:09 P.M. the DON notified Resident #14 and Resident #97's responsible parties
and medical providers of the incident that occurred between Resident #14 and Resident #97. On 07/08/25
at 8:20 P.M. the local law enforcement and EMS arrived at the facility. Resident #14 left the facility with EMS
to be evaluated in the emergency room of a local hospital. On 07/08/25 at 8:35 P.M. Resident #97 left the
facility with law enforcement. Resident #97 remained on one-on-one supervision the entire time

disorder (PTSD). The resident's most current weight listed was 110 pounds. Review of Resident #14's
active care plans revealed a plan of care initiated 08/12/24 related to PTSD. The care plan identified the
resident as having PTSD and was a known rape survivor. The care plan indicated the resident had been
physically and sexually assaulted by a guy. The resident's triggers included yelling, loud noises, and
approaching her in a fast manner. The goal was for the resident to have a decreased effect from her
triggers daily. The interventions included offering the resident empathy, compassion, and support as
needed. Review of Resident #14's most recent quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated
[DATE] revealed the resident had adequate hearing without the use of a hearing aid and clear speech. She
was able to make herself understood and was usually able to understand others (misses some part/ intent
of message but comprehends most of the conversation). The resident's vision was adequate with the use of
corrective lenses. The assessment revealed the resident's cognition was severely impaired, and she was
known to have physical behavioral symptoms directed towards others that occurred one to three days of the
seven-day assessment period. The resident was not known to reject care. She did not have any functional
limitation in her range of motion and used a wheelchair as a mobility device. The resident was dependent
on staff for upper and lower body dressing and required substantial/ maximum assistance for transfers.
Review of Resident #14's progress note revealed a nurse's note by the facility DON dated 07/08/25 at 7:20
P.M. that indicated Resident #14 had an observed resident interaction with a male resident. The staff were
indicated to have intervened and separated. Resident #14 was assessed without negative effects. The
resident's physician and resident representative were notified. A nurse's progress note by the DON on
07/08/25 at 8:20 P.M. revealed the resident was transferred out of the facility via EMS to a local emergency
room (ER) for an evaluation. She returned to the facility on [DATE] at 12:20 A.M. in stable condition. Review
of the resident's medical record revealed no nursing progress was entered by LPN #215, the nurse on duty
at the time of the incident and who was assigned to care for Resident #14. The DON, who authored the
progress note above, was not present in the facility at the time of the incident. The DON arrived to the
facility 30-45 minutes after she was called and informed of the incident. The DON documented the effective
date and time in the note she authored in the resident's medical record. Further review of Resident #14's
progress notes revealed a nurse practitioner (NP) note dated 07/09/25 (untimed) that indicated the resident
was being seen for a hospital follow up on a sexual assault. The resident was seen in the ER on [DATE]07/09/25 after a sexual assault. She was evaluated by the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) nurse.
There were no signs of trauma or penetration to the oral cavity, rectum, or vagina. The resident was treated
with prophylactic antibiotics, and a referral was placed to infectious disease. A Hepatitis panel and HIV test
obtained at the hospital were unremarkable/ negative. The NP indicated she was unable to obtain a full
review of systems due to the resident's cognitive impairment. Review of Resident #14's ER notes for her
ER visit on 07/08/25- 07/09/25 (3 hours) revealed the resident had been seen for a reported sexual assault.
She was diagnosed with a sexual assault of an adult, treated with prophylactics (Metronidazole 2000
milligrams (mg), Azithromycin 500 mg, and Rocephin 500 mg with Lidocaine intramuscularly) and
discharged back to the nursing facility. A Hepatitis panel and HIV tests were administered at the hospital
and found to be non-reactive at the time. The resident was to follow up with the infectious disease clinic.

10:07 P.M. by the DON that indicated the on-call physician service was updated on the resident entering
another resident's room. Review of a social service note dated 03/05/25 at 8:13 A.M. revealed a referral had
been made to a sister facility for Resident #97 to be transferred to their behavioral unit. The social worker
indicated she would follow up and assist as needed. Review of a nurse's note dated 03/05/25 at 10:40 P.M.

with a new order being given for Tagamet 200 mg po twice daily (BID) on a scheduled basis. The note
indicated the resident was to remain on one-on-one supervision until 3:00 P.M. that day and then he was to
be on every 15-minute checks for the next 72 hours. Review of Resident #97's active care plans revealed a
plan of care initiated 03/05/25 indicating the resident had sexually oriented behaviors. The resident
exhibited sexually inappropriate behavioral symptoms due to severe mental illness as evidenced by
physical touching and grabbing. The goal was for the resident to comply with staff redirection and behave in
a safe and respectful manner. Interventions included conducting an evaluation of the sexually oriented
behavioral symptoms to determine what the resident was communicating through the behavior (e.g. need to
feel in control, feeling inadequate, feeling angry/ hostile and disrespectful towards himself, and projecting
those feelings onto others). The care plan also included the need to intervene and redirect when any
inappropriate behavior was observed, communicate assertively the resident must exercise control over his
impulses and behaviors, remind the resident to refrain from inappropriate touching, and refer the resident
for a psychiatric evaluation and utilize psychoactive medications as warranted. Review of Resident #97's
most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident did not have any
communication issues. The resident was able to make himself understood and was able to understand
others. The assessment revealed the resident was cognitively intact and not known to display any behaviors
during the seven-day assessment period. The resident did not have any functional limitations to his range of
motion and did not require the use of any assistive devices for mobility. The assessment revealed the
resident required supervision or touching assistance for transfers and ambulation. Review of a facility
self-reported incident, tracking number 262557 dated 07/08/25 revealed the facility reported an allegation of
sexual abuse involving Resident #97 and another female resident (Resident #14). Resident #97 was the
alleged perpetrator and Resident #14 was the involved resident/ victim. The SRI revealed neither of the
residents were able to provide any meaningful information when interviewed. Witnesses to the sexual
abuse were identified as CNA #112, CNA #119, and LPN #215. The date/ time/ location of the occurrence
was on 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M. in Resident #14's room. The narrative summary of the incident revealed a
CNA entered the room of Resident #14 and saw Resident #97 lying on top of Resident #14 in bed. Neither
resident had clothes on. Both residents were immediately separated, and Resident #97 was placed on
one-on-one supervision. Local law enforcement was notified. Resident #97 left the facility with the local law
enforcement, and he was on one-on-one supervision from the time of the incident until he left with law
enforcement. Resident #14 was sent to the ER for an evaluation and returned to the facility later that same
night. The SRI included a head-to-toe skin assessment was completed on Resident #14 (after the incident)
with no negative findings, signs of trauma, or injuries. The facility substantiated the allegation of sexual
abuse based on their investigation. The facility DON was identified as the investigator of the allegation.
Review of the facility's related investigation revealed personal witness statements were obtained from the
two involved residents, Resident #14's roommate, and the three staff members identified as witnesses to
the sexual abuse. Review of Resident #14's personal witness statement revealed a verbal statement was
obtained from the resident by the DON regarding the incident that took place on 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M. The

07/08/25 (time of incident not specified) revealed she did not see anyone enter the room. She did see him
close the curtain. She could hear her roommate (Resident #14) asking for help. She started to yell and
stopped. She then heard the aide open the door and tell him to get out. After that, the nurse came in. She
thought the other male resident was in the room for about 10 minutes. Review of a personal witness
statement from CNA #119 for the incident dated 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M. revealed she and CNA #112 were
looking for a dog toy when they were told Resident #14 was the one who had it last. When she went to
Resident #14's room, knocked, and entered she saw Resident #14 and Resident #97 on the bed. Resident
#14 was naked with her head on the pillow and her hands clasped together over her chest. Resident #97
had his shirt on and his shorts were down between her (Resident #14's) legs with what looked like his
penis in her vagina. She told him (Resident #97) that this wasn't going to be happening. Resident #97 stood
up grunting, pulled his shorts up, and then balled his fist while walking towards her. She told him he did not
want to do this, and he then walked out the door. She shut the door and went to the bed and noticed
Resident #14's depend (incontinent brief) was on her bedside table. Her shoes were beside the wall on the
bed. She asked Resident #14 if she was okay and if it was consensual. Resident #14 replied no, he hurt
me. CNA #14 then reported she started to put Resident #14's hospital gown on her so she would be
covered up. CNA #112 then walked in and the aide told her to go get the nurse and also told the other aide
what had happened. LPN #215 came in and she told her what she had seen. LPN #215 contacted the
supervisors while she and the other aide stayed outside Resident #97's room until the local law
enforcement arrived. She indicated in her statement that she had just seen Resident #14 approximately 20
minutes prior and the resident was in her wheelchair in the lobby playing with a staff member's puppy.
Review of a personal witness statement from CNA #112 for the incident occurring on 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M.
given on 07/08/25 (no time indicated) revealed she walked into Resident #14's room and saw that she was
naked. The aide that she was training (CNA #119) told her Resident #97 was on her (Resident #14) while
she was naked and Resident #97 was naked from the waist down. CNA #119 told her Resident #97's penis
was inside of Resident #14 and that he was touching her also. CNA #119 then told Resident #97 to get up.
He got up, dressed, and left the room. She confirmed they had just seen Resident #14 20 minutes prior out
in the lobby playing with a staff member's puppy while up in her wheelchair. Review of a personal witness
statement from LPN #215 for the incident occurring on 07/08/25 at 7:20 P.M. given on 07/08/25 (no time
indicated) revealed she was alerted by a CNA that a resident (Resident #97) was found on top of another
resident (Resident #14) with his pants around his ankles and he was seen having intercourse. Upon
entering the room, both residents were immediately separated. Vital signs were collected, and skin was
assessed. She then notified appropriate staff. Both residents were placed on one-on-one supervision until
EMS/ local law enforcement arrived. On 07/16/25 at 10:25 A.M., an interview with CNA #119 revealed it
was her first day working at the facility when the incident between

Resident #14 and Resident #97 occurred on 07/08/25. She stated she had been a CNA for 20 years in the
past but had taken a different job outside of healthcare in the past five years. She confirmed she was one of
the day shift aides working from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. weekend. She further confirmed she was the staff
member who found the two residents (#14 and #97) in bed and naked. The incident occurred at 7:20 P.M.
She stated she was still there at the time as her relief was running late. She was being trained by CNA
#112. She reported she and CNA #112 were looking for a dog toy and had been told Resident #14 was the
last one known to have it. She went to Resident #14's room, knocked on the door, and entered finding
Resident #14 in bed with her gown off and her incontinence brief lying across the bedside table. Resident
#14's shoes were on her bed by the wall. Resident #14 had been in a hospital gown that evening. Resident
#97 was lying on top of Resident #14 with his short pulled down. Resident #97 was thrusting his hips into
Resident #14 and was making grunting noises. It looked as if his penis was inside of Resident #14. When
Resident #97 stood up, he had some kind of liquid on his erect penis. She described the liquid as like fluids
but was not sure if they were Resident #97's or Resident #14's. She was also not sure if the fluid was
semen or urine. She stated, it just appeared like they were having sex. Resident #14 had her hands
clenched in a fist and next to each other over her breast. She denied Resident #14 was making any sounds
and did not hear Resident #14 say anything. She stated she saw a tear coming down the side of Resident
#14's face and she had a scared look on her face. She had seen Resident #14 minutes prior to that incident
in the lobby petting a dog. She was up in her wheelchair at the time and dressed in a gown. She had an
incontinence brief on and was wearing shoes, as she was ready for bed. With the way Resident #14 went
around in her wheelchair, she did not feel Resident #14 would have been able to transfer herself from the
wheelchair to bed. She stated when she walked in and found them, she said oh no, we are not doing this.
She then told Resident #97 he needed to get out of Resident #14's room. Resident #97 then started to get
up, pulled his pants up, and made a growling noise. She was not sure at the time if Resident #97 was
non-verbal or not. He balled his fist at her as he passed her by when leaving the room. After Resident #97
left the room, she went to Resident #14 and asked her if she was okay. Resident #14 replied no, he hurt
me. She then put Resident #14's gown on her as she was trying to cover up her breasts. The other aide
(CNA #112) peeked in the room at that time, and she told the other aide to go get the nurse as she believed
Resident #14 had been raped. The other aide got the nurse (LPN #215) and the nurse came right in. She
then informed LPN #215 what she walked in on, and the nurse notified the ADON and the DON. Another
aide then came to sit with Resident #14 while she and CNA #112 sat outside the room of Resident #97.
They sat outside his room to ensure the two residents remained separated from one another until the local
law enforcement and EMS arrived. Resident #97 just sat in his room on his bed moving his hands up and
down his leg while tapping his feet on the floor. She was not familiar with Resident #97 at the time to know if
he was cognitively intact or not. Resident #97 resided on the same hall as the SR and his room was
catty-corner from hers. They remained with Resident #97 until the police arrived. She then went to the
shower room twice with the law enforcement officer to give them an account of what had happened. The
second time she went to the shower room was so the law enforcement officer could ask her if she had
cleaned Resident #14 after the incident. She informed the law enforcement officer that she had not and put
the same gown on her that she had on prior to the incident. She remained in the facility until all the
interviews were done and all the evidence was bagged. The Law enforcement officer then walked Resident
#97 out of the building. She filled out an incident report for the DON before she left the facility around 10:00
P.M. that night. She confirmed what she filled out was the personal witness statement and further confirmed
the statement in the

facility's investigation was what she had written. She reported she had just come from the county
courthouse earlier that morning (prior to her interview) where she had to give testimony to the Grand Jury.
She stated the Prosecutor had indicated they were debating on whether the charges against Resident #97
would include any federal charges. If convicted for what they were wanting to charge him with, he could get
between 66 and 88 years. On 07/16/25 at 3:05 P.M., an interview with CNA #112 confirmed she was
working on 07/08/25 when the incident occurred between Resident #14 and #97. She recalled it was
sometime around shift change and thought it was probably 7:25 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. when it happened. She
only seen the aftermath of what had happened. She walked into Resident #14's room to check on her
coworker (CNA #119) who she was training. Her coworker was the one that had seen what happened and
separated the two residents. She suspected she went to check on CNA #119 about five to 10 minutes after
CNA #119 went to Resident #14's room. By the time she arrived at Resident #14's room, Resident #14 was
still undressed, and CNA #119 was in the process of redressing the resident. She was told what had
happened and then she left the room to get the nurse. She confirmed LPN #215 was the nurse working
who she went to get. Resident #97 was already in his room when she arrived at Resident #14's room,
which was catty-corner from Resident #14's room. She was familiar with the two residents involved prior to
the incident, as she would often help the aides on the 500 hall. Resident #14 was normally up in the lobby
area by the nurses' station on the North unit. She denied she had any prior interactions with Resident #97
before that incident. She was a little bit familiar with him. She reported that Resident #14 needed help
transferring in and out of bed. She described Resident #14 as a two-person assist that needed substantial
to maximum assistance for transfers. Resident #14 was non-ambulatory and had the use of a wheelchair.
She was only able to stand and pivot when transferred. She reported that Resident #14 was able to
undress herself at times but normally needed help doing so. She denied she had ever noted Resident #14
to remove her own clothing herself. She was usually dressed in a T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt and
sweatpants. When she went to bed or on shower days, she had a gown on. When she saw Resident 14, the
resident had always been dressed in clothes. She reported Resident #14 was normally confused but the
level of confusion depended on the day. She was able to talk in short sentences but could not carry a
conversation on with you. She had heard Resident #14 say please help or the resident would tell her thank
you. Resident #14 could also get agitated, anxious, and restless at times but for the most part was relaxed.
She described Resident #97 as being independently ambulatory. He was typically in his room, in the dining
room, or outside to smoke. He was known to visit other residents (naming a male resident he visited on the
700 hall) but denied knowledge of Resident #97 visiting any female residents prior to that incident. She then
recalled there was one time when Resident #97 did go into one female resident's room a while back. She
identified that female resident as Resident #68, who used to reside on the 600 hall. That female resident
had since been moved to the facility's memory care unit and was currently out of the facility in the hospital.
She reported Resident #97 seemed like he was okay. She was not aware of him having any behaviors. She
denied she was aware of him displaying any prior sexually inappropriate behaviors. She then recalled
hearing something about Resident #97 cornering an aide in the shower room but wasn't sure of any details.
That occurred about a month two ago and she identified CNA #192 as the aide involved. She did not think
that Resident #97 touched the aide, he just had her cornered. She reported the nurse (LPN #215)
responded to the incident between Resident #14 and #97 immediately. LPN #215 assessed Resident #14
and then had her (CNA #112) call the ADON. The ADON then called the DON. The DON came into the
facility. She confirmed she sat with Resident #97 until the DON and the local law enforcement arrived. The
DON was on scene before the local law enforcement arrived. She was not

interviewed by law enforcement but did give a written statement to the DON. She was not sure how
Resident #14 got into bed that night when she was found in bed with Resident #97 on top of her. They
normally had to put her in bed, and no one had put her in bed that night. She denied there would be any
other aides (other than her and the trainee) that would have put Resident #14 to bed. She believed
Resident #97 had put Resident #14 in bed. She felt he would have been capable of lifting Resident #14
from her wheelchair into bed. She confirmed Resident #14 had a roommate who was present when the
incident took place. She identified the roommate as Resident #15. She reported Resident #15 was alert
and oriented and should be able to answer questions regarding the incident. She believed the roommate
was asked to provide information regarding the incident to the facility as part of their investigation. Resident
#14 resided in the bed by the door and Resident #15 was in bed by the window. On 07/16/25 at 4:40 P.M.,
an interview with Resident #15 revealed she recalled the incident that occurred on 07/08/25 and confirmed
she was lying in her bed at the time the incident took place. She denied that she had seen anything. The
resident stated he (Resident #97) pulled the curtain when he came in. She stated she got a quick look and
only saw part of his face. She was not sure at the time if it was an employee or a resident. She just thought
someone came in to get her roommate (Resident #14) ready for bed. She could not recall the time of the
incident and was not sure if it occurred before or after dinner. She denied that she heard the male say
anything. She reported her roommate was just carrying on. She heard her roommate say, get out. She
denied she heard any other noises until the staff came in. The staff came in about 15 minutes after
Resident #97 was there. They started yelling quite loudly at R[TRUNCATED]

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, interview, and review of the facility policies, the facility failed to maintain
appropriate infection control and enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) for one (Resident # 87) out of 41
residents in EBP. The facility census was 94. Findings include: Review of the medical record for Resident
#87 revealed an admission date of 06/26/25. Diagnoses included metabolic encephalopathy, hypertension,
peripheral vascular disease, major depressive disorder, cirrhosis of liver, type two diabetes mellitus, bipolar
disorder, and chronic pain syndrome. Review of the most recent Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment
dated [DATE] revealed a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) of three out of 15, indicating Resident #87
had severe cognitive impairment. The resident was assessed to require partial/moderate assistance for
meals/eating, and oral hygiene. Resident #87 was dependent on staff for toileting, shower/bathing,
dressing, and personal hygiene. Resident #87 was admitted with one Stage III pressure ulcer (Full
thickness tissue loss, subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed, slough
may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss, may include undermining and tunneling).
Review of the Care Plan revealed Resident #87 had an open wound on her coccyx/right buttock and her left
lateral hip. Resident #87 required EBP related to wound care for skin openings and a history of
multi-drug-resistant organism (MDRO). Resident #87 required EBP for dressing, bathing/showering,
transferring, personal hygiene, changing linen, toileting, and peri-care. Observation on 07/16/25 at 10:10
A.M. of incontinence care for Resident #87 by Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) #207 and #224 revealed
Resident#87 was noted to have a sign above her bed for EBP. Resident #87 was cleaned appropriately.
Cleaning uncovered an open sore on the left buttock/hip area and reddened open area on right buttock.
CNA #224 did the cleaning and removal of the old incontinence brief and then did not change her gloves
prior to applying the new incontinence brief. The incontinence care was appropriately timed, and Resident
#87 remained comfortable throughout the process. Interview on 07/16/25 at 10:20 A.M. with CNA #224
confirmed the resident had a sign for EBP, and by policy, staff were to wear gloves and a gown when the
resident has a catheter, a known infection, or an open wound. CNA #224 indicated Resident #87 received
Triad paste as a barrier cream, and Triad paste was considered a medication, so the nurse would need to
come and apply it. CNA #87 did not apply a barrier cream, so she did not realize she needed to change her
gloves before applying a clean incontinence brief. CNA #224 realized she should change gloves and did
perform hand hygiene after Resident #87 was redressed and comfortable in bed. Interview on 07/17/25 at
11:45 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed during the observed incontinence care for
Resident #87, while CNA #224 was performing care she did not change her gloves and do hand hygiene
between cleaning the resident and applying a clean incontinence brief as per the facility Incontinence Care
Policy. The DON also confirmed that CNAs #204 and #224 did not wear gowns for EBP, they only wore
gloves. Review of the facility policy titled Incontinence Care, dated 01/06/25, revealed gloves should be
changed and hand hygiene performed after the staff member cleans the resident and before the staff
member applies barrier creams to the resident and again before applying clean incontinence briefs and
under pads. Gloves should be removed and hand hygiene performed before the staff member changes
linen and clothing if needed. Gloves should be removed and hand hygiene performed when the process is
complete. Review of the facility policy titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions, dated 01/2025, revealed EBP is
used in conjunction with standard precautions when the resident has an infection or colonization with a
center for disease control (CDC) - targeted multi drug resistant organism (MDRO) when contact
precautions do not otherwise apply; or when the resident has wounds and/or an indwelling medical device
even if the resident is not known
