F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 4. Review of the facility's Legionella Environmental Assessment Form dated 06/18/18 revealed it was named and completed for the separately licensed sister facility next door to the facility. No flow diagram was included in the document. The plan indicated occupancy varied throughout the year but did not detail what staff would do with vacant rooms to prevent biofilm growth. The plan indicated the facility had a water safety plan. The question regarding testing for Legionella was left blank. The area to describe the testing plan was also left blank. The plan indicated the facility would monitor incoming water parameters but no logs, pH (measure of acidity or alkalinity), temperature ranges or disinfectant residual information was provided. The plan stated there was a recirculation system but the area where the system was supposed to be described with delivery/return temperatures was left blank. The plan indicated the thermostatic mixing valves were used but no details about the location of mixing valves were provided. The plan indicated the facility would monitor cold water at points of use but no logs were attached. The plan question regarding potable water disinfectant levels (such as chlorine) was left blank. Test results from a residential test kit dated 02/22/23 and 09/16/23 were included, however, no further information on what the test had tested for aside from the results being negative was available for review. Residents Affected - Many Interview on 11/27/23 at 8:15 A.M. with Director of Maintenance (DOM) #256 revealed he was not knowledgeable on the facility's water management documentation and DOM #256 stated, I have never seen this plan. DOM #256 stated he flushed vacant rooms in the secured unit twice a month but did not document this process. DOM #256 was unaware of any other water management plans to review as the provided plan was for the sister facility next door and not this facility but did share the facilities had separate water lines. DOM #256 also stated he never took cold water temperatures even though the water management plan stated the facility would monitor these at point of use. Follow up interviews on 11/27/23 at 10:02 A.M. and 10:24 A.M. with DOM #256, the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator verified multiple areas on the water management plan with a yes answer had no further information provided thus the plan was not complete and the plan also did not meet the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The DON and the Administrator were made aware the provided plan was not for this facility and no further documentation relative to the water management plan was provided by the time of exit. The Administrator indicated control measures for the facility were hot and cold water but the facility was not capturing cold water temperatures or recording them. Review of the policy, Legionella Surveillance, dated 08/01/23 revealed the facility to establish primary and secondary strategies for the prevention and control of Legionella infections. Physical controls included non-potable water systems shall be routinely cleaned and disinfected. Temperature controls were to be maintained including cold water to be stored and distributed below 68 degrees F. Hot water shall be stored above 140 degrees Fahrenheit (F) and circulated at a minimum return temperature of 124 degrees F. The policy did not define control measures, lacked any information about how the facility would intervene when control measures were not met, did not detail any baseline or routine testing outside of an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease and failed to address ongoing monitoring of the plan's effectiveness. Review of the CDC webpage revealed guidance under the title of, Overview of Water Management Programs, and revealed water management programs identify hazardous conditions and take steps to minimize the growth and transmission of Legionella and other waterborne pathogens in building water systems.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many continuous review. Such programs are now an industry standard for many buildings in the United States. Further review of the webpage under the subsection titled, Key Elements, revealed there were seven key elements of a Legionella water management program which included to establish a water management program team, describe the building water systems using text and flow diagrams, identify areas where Legionella could grow and spread, decide where control measures should be applied and how to monitor them, establish ways to intervene when control limits are not met, make sure the program is running as designed (verification) and is effective (validation), and document and communicate all the activities. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection control practices were implemented related to handwashing with medication pass, proper personal protective equipment (PPE) before entering a COVID-19 positive room, and did not fully develop and implement a comprehensive water management program to prevent Legionella.
