Based on observation, interviews, record review, and review of maintenance documents and facility policy,
the facility failed to maintain adequate room temperatures in the common area/dining room and resident
rooms. This affected six residents (#15, #34, #48, #50, #52 and #69), and had the potential to affect 26
residents (#5, #6, #7, #8, #16, #23, #24, #26, #32, #36, #39, #43, #46, #47, #48, #51, #53, #56, #57, #59,
#60, #66, #68, #69, #70 and #93) who used the common area/dining room . The facility census was
72.Findings include:Interview on 11/26/25 at 8:10 A.M. with Resident #15 complained the common area
was so cold last week he had to stay in his room because his room was warmer.Interview on 11/26/25 at
8:15 A.M. with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) #840 stated the building was so cold last week, the
residents refused to receive showers.Interview on 11/26/25 at 8:25 A.M. with Resident #48 complained the
common area was so cold he had to eat lunch in his room and did not like to feel that cold.Interview on

common area and liked to be out of his room to participate with others.Interview on 11/26/25 at 9:04 A.M.
with Regional Director of Operations (RDO) #802 revealed nursing staff had contacted him because the
thermostat read 67 degrees Fahrenheit (F).Observation on 12/01/25 at 9:25 A.M. of the second-floor
common area revealed the thermostat read 68 degrees (F) and the air handler which conditions and
circulates air read 64 degrees (F). Interview with Housekeeper #331 at the time of the observation verified
the temperature readings and stated no staff were able to change the thermostats in the common
area/dining room. The prior weekend was so cold in the facility, she had to wear extra clothing and
complained how cold the facility was over the holiday weekend.Interview on 12/01/25 at 9:30 A.M. with
Resident #50 who was sitting in the second-floor dining room with a blanket on complained the dining room
was too cold to be comfortable.Interview on 12/01/25 at 9:40 A.M. with Resident #52 complained that over
the prior weekend her room was so cold she had to sleep with three blankets on.Interview on 12/01/25 at
3:14 P.M. with Maintenance Supervisor (MS) #368 verified the upstairs dining room/common area was cold
in the mornings. He stated the air handler needed reset.Observation on 12/02/25 from 9:30 A.M. to 10:11
A.M. with RDO #802 of room temperatures using the facility's handheld digital thermometer which tests
ambient air temperatures revealed Resident #69's room was at 69 degrees (F). Interview at the time of the
observation with RDO #802 verified the finding, and stated the facility was heated by a roof top unit that
blew into each resident's room.Observation on 12/16/25 at 9:35 A.M. during medication pass observation of
Resident #34's room who complained the room was always cold revealed an unnamed maintenance staff
member took an ambient temperature using a handheld digital thermometer which resulted in a reading of
Resident #34's room as 67 degrees (F), then repeated was 66.9 degrees (F), and finally was 67.3 degrees
(F). Resident #34 was provided with an additional blanket.Interview on 12/16/25 at 11:00 A.M. with the
Administrator verified the heat was out in the building and was notified at 5 A.M. on that day (not specified).

document from a heating company dated 11/09/25 revealed the heat exchanger needed replaced, and it
was recommended a new inducer and burners be replaced.Review of a maintenance document from a
heating company dated 11/20/25 revealed all heating units on-site seemed to operate with incorrect gas
pressure settings. The gas pressure was adjusted on the three units that were part of the scheduled
service, but the remaining units on-site still required gas pressure adjustments, and must be set up to
ensure proper combustion, efficient heating performance, and compliance with equipment
standards.Review of the facility policy entitled, Temperature Extremes, dated February 2025 revealed the
temperature throughout the facility would be maintained between 71 and 81 degrees (F). Any temperature
outside of the range required specific interventions to avoid potential negative impact on the residents'

Provide appropriate pressure ulcer care and prevent new ulcers from developing.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, facility policy review and interview, the facility failed to develop and implement a
comprehensive and individualized pressure ulcer prevention program to prevent and/or promote pressure
ulcer healing. The facility failed to ensure pressure-relieving equipment was functioning as intended, failed
to ensure nutritional interventions were initiated, and failed to ensure treatments were implemented and
maintained as ordered to prevent the development and/or worsening of pressure ulcers for Residents #10,
#11, #25, #27, #44, and #58. Actual Harm occurred beginning on 11/19/25 when Resident #10 who was
severely cognitively impaired and at high risk for pressure ulcer development with a history of pressure
ulcers developed a deep tissue injury (DTI)/unstageable (full thickness tissue loss) pressure ulcer to the
thoracic spine (mid-back) as a result of a malfunctioning low air loss (LAL) mattress. Actual Harm occurred
on 12/09/25 when Resident #27 who was severely cognitively impaired and at high risk for pressure ulcer
development was found to have an unstageable pressure ulcer to the right ischium. The facility failed to
provide evidence the resident was being adequately monitored and/or provided necessary intervention to
prevent the ulcer from first being found as an unstageable pressure ulcer. This affected six residents (#10,
#11, #25, #27, #44, and #58) of 15 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility census was
72.Findings include:1. Review of Resident #10's medical record revealed the resident was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including end stage renal disease, chronic congestive heart failure,
necrotizing fasciitis, moderate protein calorie malnutrition, dysphasia, dependence on a respiratory
ventilator, acute pulmonary edema, tracheostomy status, and pressure ulcer of other site Stage IV (full
thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough may be present on some parts of the
wound bed. Often include undermining and tunneling.) to the coccyx.
Residents Affected - Few
Note: The nursing home is

Review of the resident's physician orders revealed a diet order for the resident to receive nothing by mouth
(NPO). The resident had an order for enteral tube feed with Nepro at 40 milliliters (ml) per hour for 20 hours
a day (high-protein nutritional supplement). An order (dated 10/30/25 for a low air loss (LAL) mattress,
monitor function inflation every shift. An order to cleanse coccyx with full strength Dakin's (antimicrobial
cleanser), apply full strength Dakin's on a four by four gauze cover with abdominal (ABD) pad and do not
tape every shift, in-house dialysis Monday through Friday, an order for ProStat (a protein supplement for
wound healing) 30 milliliters daily dated 07/22/25 and discontinued 10/10/25, an order for liquid protein
three times a day dated 12/17/25 and an order for enhanced barrier precautions (EBP).
Review of the care plan dated 11/03/25 revealed Resident #10 had a documented pressure ulcer (ulcer to
the coccyx). Interventions included monitoring bony prominences for redness, monitoring nutritional status,
providing wound treatments as ordered and referring to a specialized practitioner for wound management.
The care plan further revealed Resident #10 had the potential for impairment of skin integrity related to
impaired mobility and current pressure injury to the coccyx. Interventions included encouraging Resident
#10 to turn and reposition every two hours and a low air loss mattress. The mattress was to be monitored
for function and inflation every shift. Additional interventions included notifying the dietitian of altered skin
integrity and ensuring adequate nutrition related to wound and skin needs. Additionally, the care plan
revealed Resident #10 had the potential for alteration of nutrition. Interventions included providing and
serving supplements as ordered.
A dietary note dated 11/09/25 authored by Registered Dietitian/ Licensed Dietician (RD/LD) #820 revealed
a recommendation for Prostat to tube feeding three times a day for low albumin (a protein made in the body
that supports tissue repair and maintains fluid balance) as recommended by the dialysis

A review of wound notes authored by Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) #830 revealed the following:
- On 11/19/25, CNP #830 saw Resident #10 for a chronic Stage IV wound of the coccyx and was to
evaluate a new thoracic spine wound. Assessment of the thoracic spine wound revealed deep tissue injury
(DTI) (A purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of
underlying soft tissue due to pressure and/or shear. The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful,
firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.) The area on the thoracic spine
measured 2.5 centimeters (cm) by 3.0 cm. The thoracic spine wound was defined as facility acquired. CNP
#830 further described the area as a new pressure ulcer to the thoracic spine due to LAL bed malfunction.
Orders included maintenance to fix the LAL mattress.
- On 11/26/25, CNP #830 evaluated the wound to the thoracic spine. The wound was defined as an acute
unstageable pressure injury (full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough
(yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed) with obscured full
thickness skin and tissue loss. Measurements were documented as 6.0 cm by 4.0 cm. CNP #830
documented the wound as deteriorating. Interventions included maintenance to fix or replace the LAL
mattress.
- On 12/03/25, CNP #830 evaluated the wound to the thoracic spine. The wound was defined as an acute
unstageable pressure injury with obscured full thickness skin and tissue loss. Measurements were
documented 6.0 cm by 4.5 cm. CNP #830 documented the wound as deteriorating. Interventions included
maintenance to fix or replace the LAL mattress.
- On 12/10/25 CNP #830 evaluated the wound to the thoracic spine. The wound was defined as an acute
unstageable pressure injury with obscured full thickness skin and tissue loss. Measurements were
documented as 6.0 cm by 5.5 cm. CNP #830 documented the wound as deteriorating. Interventions
included maintenance to fix or replace the LAL mattress.

any needed orders. ADON #350 further stated she had no recollection of protein recommendations for
Resident #10. ADON #350 also stated the dietitian was not present during weekly meetings to discuss
weights, wounds or recommendations.
A review of the undated policy titled Pressure Ulcer Prevention Intervention revealed the purpose of this
protocol is to implement preventative skin measures for all residents based on the levels and areas of risk
to include moisture, nutrition, activity, mobility, mental status, psychosocial status, and general physical
condition. When the interdisciplinary team is considering interventions, facility policy, standard of practice,
and resident goals, all should be reviewed and considered prior to the implementation. Interventions for
preventative skin care include interventions for nutrition. These interventions include consulting a registered
dietitian as needed. It is recommended that when a resident is nutritionally at risk and a pressure ulcer risk

with nutritional risk and pressure ulcer risk it is recommended to offer a high protein mixed oral nutritional
supplement or tube feeding in addition to the usual diet. Interventions for residents at high risk include
providing the resident with a mattress meeting the criteria for Group One if the resident does not show any
sign of skin breakdown or has evidence of Stage I (Intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized
area usually over a bony prominence. Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; it's color may
differ from the surrounding area.) or uncomplicated Stage II wound (partial thickness loss of dermis
presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough, may also present as an
intact or open/ruptured serum filled blister). Provide residents with a mattress that meets the criteria for
group two if the resident has multiple Stage II wounds or uncomplicated Stage III (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) and Stage IV wounds.
Provide the resident with a mattress that meets the criteria for group three if the resident has a multiple or

within 24 to 48 hours after notification was sent to the facility. RD #816 stated she sent an email to ADON
#350 and placed a written notification of the recommendation to add the liquid protein supplement to
Resident #11's tube feeding once a day to promote wound healing under ADON #350's door.
A review of the undated facility's policy titled Pressure Ulcer Prevention, Intervention indicated the purpose
of the protocol was to implement preventative skin measures for all residents based on the levels and areas
of risk to include moisture, nutrition, activity, mobility, mental status, psychosocial status, and general
physical condition. When the Interdisciplinary Team is considering interventions, facility policy, standard of
practice, and resident goals/preferences/advanced directives should be reviewed and considered prior to
implementation. The residents' skin will be assessed and monitored on a routine basis as is outlined in the
skin assessment protocols. Preventative measures will be implemented in accordance with the residents'
assessed risk level and for development of skin integrity impairment and risk factors that may enhance the
residents' ability to develop skin integrity impairment. Interventions included assessing nutritional risk and
address with the Registered Dietician as needed. Maintain or improve nutrition and hydration, when
indicated.
Interventions for nutrition include:
-Monitor hydration status and increase hydration, as needed.
-Consult the Registered Dietician, as needed.
-If the resident who is well-nourished develops an inadequate dietary intake of protein or calories, a
nutritional assessment should be completed by the [NAME] to determine the factors compromising the
intake. Interventions will be implemented based upon the [NAME] assessment and interdisciplinary team
review.
-It is recommended that when a resident is nutritionally at risk and pressure ulcer risk, the resident is
offered a minimum of 30-35 kilocalorie per kilogram (kg) body weight per day, with 1.25-1.5 gram/kg/day
protein and 1milliliter (ml of fluid intake per kcal per day).
-For the residents with nutritional risk and pressure ulcer risk, it is recommended to offer a high-protein
mixed oral nutritional supplement and/or tube feeding, in addition to the usual diet.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
medical record review, review of hospital records, interviews and review of facility policy, the facility failed to
provide timely care and services to treat Resident #38's urinary tract infection (UTI).Actual harm occurred
on 10/13/25 when Resident #38, who had a history of UTI and had been stating she felt like she had UTI
symptoms of frequent urination and burning a couple days prior, was ordered a urine analysis (UA) test by
Nurse Practitioner (NP) #842 to assess for UTI and that order was not entered into the physician orders
until 10/15/25 by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #341. On 10/16/25 Resident #16 was hospitalized prior to
completion of the UA test, and Resident #38 was diagnosed at the hospital with altered mental status,
acute UTI, bacteremia (bacteria in the blood) and acute kidney injury and was treated with intravenous (IV)
antibiotics for the infection. Resident #38 remained in the hospital for treatment until returning to the facility
on [DATE] where IV antibiotics were continued for treatment. This affected one resident (Resident #38) of
three residents reviewed for urinary tract infections. The facility census was 72.Review of Resident #38's
medical record revealed an admission date of 10/06/25 with diagnoses including need for assistance with
personal care, neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, urinary tract infection, tracheostomy, morbid obesity,
ventilator dependence, and type two diabetes.Review of Resident #38's progress notes dated 10/13/25 at
2:18 P.M. by Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #341 revealed the resident reported she believed she had a
UTI stating it started a couple of days ago, but this is the worst it felt. Resident #38 complained of frequent
urination and burning. The process of obtaining a UA (urine analysis) was explained to the resident by LPN
#321 and the Nurse Practitioner (NP #842) and resident agreed to the UA. A new order was obtained for a
UA and labs. Resident #38 did ask if they could treat the UTI without obtaining the UA and the NP stated no
and again the resident agreed to the UA.Further review of the medical record revealed there was no UA
collected on 10/13/25 for Resident #38. Review of Resident #38's physician orders dated October 2025
revealed the order to obtain a UA C&S (culture and sensitivity) was not entered until 10/15/25 at 5:33 P.M.
by LPN #341 and not on 10/13/25 when ordered by NP #842.Review of Resident #38's care plan dated
10/14/25 revealed the resident had bowel and bladder incontinence and was at risk for urinary tract
infection (UTI). Interventions included staff to clean peri-area with each incontinence episode, check and
change per protocol and as required for incontinence, monitor and document for signs and symptoms of
UTI including pain, burning, blood tinged urine color, increased pulse, increased temperature, urinary
frequency, foul smelling urine, fever, chills, altered mental status, change in behavior, change in eating
patterns. There was nothing in the care plan to indicate Resident #38 refused to have urinalysis tests when
needed.Review of Nurse Practitioner (NP) #842's progress note date 10/15/25 revealed Resident #38 was
seen again on 10/15/25 for complaints of dysuria (painful or uncomfortable urination) and was agreeable to
urinalysis and again ordered a UA. Additionally, under the section of their note titled Assessments and
Plans NP #842 noted on 10/13/25 resident complained of dysuria and a UA with culture and sensitivity (UA
C&S) was ordered, on 10/14/25 UA C&S was encouraged again, and finally on 10/15/25 UA C&S
reordered.Review of the Respiratory Therapist (RT) #364 progress note on 10/15/25 at 6:06 P.M. revealed
the RT, two nurses and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) entered the resident's room to obtain the UA.
During the process of obtaining the UA, the resident's pulse ox dropped to 69 percent and heart rate
dropped to 51. The RT increased the resident's oxygen to 16 liters and a peep (positive end expiratory
pressure) of eight and turned the resident's fan on. Resident #38's vital signs improved.Review of LPN

P.M. revealed Resident #38 was noted to have altered mental status, an assessment was completed and
vital signs were within normal limits, the physician was notified and gave additional orders for a UA to be
completed and to continue to monitor.Review of LPN #379's progress note dated 10/16/25 at 7:22 A.M. the
nurse documented a Change in Condition related to altered mental status, vital signs noted at blood
pressure (bp) 152/74, pulse 103, respiratory rate (RR) 28, temperature 98.7 degrees Fahrenheit (F), pulse
oxygen 97 percent and was vent dependent, physician was notified and gave orders again to obtain a UA
and to send the resident to the emergency room.Review of Resident #38's hospital documentation dated
10/16/25 revealed Resident #38 was sent to the Emergency Department (ED) and admitted for Altered
Mental Status (AMS), acute UTI, bacteremia, and acute kidney injury. Resident #38 was treated with broad
spectrum antibiotics and was hospitalized from [DATE] to 10/24/25 when they returned to the facility and
continued intravenous (IV) antibiotics for UTI.Review of Resident #38's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0
assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident had intact cognition. Resident #38 required substantial to
maximal assistance with eating and was dependent on staff for all other Activities of Daily Living (ALDs)
including incontinence care, showering, dressing, personal hygiene, and bed mobility.An interview on
12/11/25 at 12:37 P.M. with Resident #38 revealed she did not feel staff took her complaints of UTI
symptoms seriously in October when she complained of pain, burning and frequent urination. Resident #38
stated she had been telling the nurse for at least two days about the pain in her bladder before the NP
came in to see her. Resident #38 stated she had a history of UTIs and knew what they felt like. She stated
she had questions about how they would obtain the UA C&S and was agreeable to it, but the facility staff
did not get it right away and waited multiple days to get it. Resident #38 stated she continued to complain of
pain, burning and frequent urination the whole time. Resident #38 confirmed the NP saw her twice before
she went to the hospital. Resident #38 was upset because she ended up in the hospital and felt if they had
gotten the UA C&S when first ordered she would not have ended up in the hospital and would not have
been as sick as she was.Two attempts were made on 12/11/25 at 1:45 P.M. and on 12/22/25 at 4:05 P.M. to
contact NP #842 with no return calls received.Interview on 12/22/25 at 3:40 P.M. with LPN #341 revealed
they confirmed Resident #38 complained of burning and frequent urination on 10/13/25 and that the NP
was into see the resident and ordered a UA C&S but did not obtain it and did not enter it into the physician
orders. LPN #341 Could not give a reason why they did not obtain the UA C&S or why they did not enter it
into the physician orders on 10/13/25.Interview on 12/22/25 at 3:52 P.M. with LPN #379 revealed they
obtained the UA C&S on 10/15/25 at 6:06 P.M. with the assistance of the RT, another nurse and a CNA.
However, they did not send the UA to the lab due to the resident going out to the hospital for altered mental
status and that Resident #38 was admitted for a UTI, acute kidney injury and sepsis. When asked why the
facility staff did not obtain the UA C&S when originally ordered on 10/13/25 they could not give a reason.An
interview on 12/22/25 at 4:15 P.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified Resident #38 was ordered a
UA C&S on 10/13/25 by NP #842 which was not entered as an order nor collected from Resident #38 until
10/15/25. The DON confirmed the urine was collected on 10/15/25 and was to be sent out to the lab for
testing on the morning of 10/16/25 but when the lab showed Resident #38 had been sent to the hospital
that morning, so the urine was not carried through to the lab. Review of facility policy titled Urinary
Continence and Incontinence-Assessment and Management last revised September 2024 revealed
identification of urinary tract infections will follow relevant clinical guidelines. The policy did not identify the
relevant clinical guidelines in the policy.This deficiency represents noncompliance investigated under
Complaint Number 2687759.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, closed medical record review, review of the facility water management plan and maintenance
logs, review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance related to legionella, review
of infection control tracking, and interviews with staff and representatives from the Local Health Department
(LHD), the facility failed to develop, implement and follow a comprehensive and effective infection
control/water management plan and remediation program to prevent the risk of legionella growth and
spread in the water supply. This resulted in Immediate Jeopardy and the potential for serious life
threatening harm, negative health outcomes, and/or death beginning on [DATE] when Resident #76, who
was bed ridden, had chronic lung disease, was dependent on a mechanical ventilator to breath, and had
not left the facility for over 14 days prior to hospitalization, became unresponsive and in respiratory distress
requiring emergency transfer to the hospital where she was diagnosed with septic shock, pneumonia and
subsequently tested positive (on [DATE]) for legionella pneumophila Ag bacteria in her urine (a rapid urine
antigen test used to diagnose Legionnaire's disease, a severe form of pneumonia caused by legionella
bacteria) and expired in the hospital on [DATE]. The facility's failure to develop, implement and follow a
comprehensive and effective infection control/water management plan and remediation program to mitigate
the growth of legionella affected one resident (#76) and placed all 72 current residents in the facility at risk
of developing serious life-threatening illness and/or death from Legionnaire's disease.In addition, a concern
that did not rise to the level of Immediate Jeopardy was identified when the facility failed to maintain proper
infection control practices to prevent the spread of infection. Respiratory Therapist (RT) #364 was observed
providing suctioning and tracheostomy care to Resident #18, who was in contact isolation for Clostridium
Difficile (C Diff) infection (an infectious and highly contagious diarrhea) without wearing proper personal
protective equipment (PPE). This affected Resident #18 and had the potential to affect 11 additional
residents (#1, #2, #10, #11, #22, #25, #38, #42, #58, #62, and #65) who resided on the Aspen unit. The
facility census was 72.On [DATE] at 2:25 P.M. the Administrator, Director of Nursing ( DON) , Regional
Director of Operations (RDO) #801, [NAME] President of Clinical Services (VPCS) #802, and Regional
Director of Clinical Services (RDCS) #803 were notified Immediate Jeopardy began on [DATE] when
Resident #76 was transferred to the hospital due to respiratory distress and subsequently tested positive
for Legionella. Resident #76 expired in the hospital on [DATE]. The facility failed to develop and implement
an effective water management program to address areas of water stagnation, plumbing schematics and
comprehensive assessment of the physical plant with lack of control measures and
remediation/investigation therefore exposing risk of legionella growth and spread to the residents in the
facility.The Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] when the facility implemented the following
corrective actions:- On [DATE] at 10:42 A.M. Registered Nurse (RN) #431 was contacted by the Local
Health Department for notification that Resident #76, who had resided on the Aspen unit in the facility,
tested positive for Legionella while at the hospital and expired at the hospital. RN #431 immediately notified
the Medical Director, Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON) and Infection Control Physician. - On [DATE]
at approximately 11:00 A.M. the Administrator, DON, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and Human
Resources instructed via electronic and in-person huddles for staff to avoid unflushed/restricted water and
to use alternative (bottled or approved) water and ice. - On [DATE] at approximately 11:30 A.M. the
Administrator, Maintenance Director #368 and Dietary Director #317 implemented bottled water for all
drinking and cooking. - On [DATE] at 11:30 A.M. the use of ice machines, showers, whirlpool tub, hoppers
were restricted on the Aspen unit and on the Birch, Dogwood, Crabapple units only bed baths

lung sounds, cough and phlegm, chest pain, fever/chills, shortness of breath. - The facility implemented a
plan for environmental monitoring by the Administrator or designee beginning [DATE] to review flushing logs
weekly for four weeks and monthly thereafter. - The facility implemented a plan for enhanced surveillance
by the DON/ADON beginning [DATE] to include a 20 day enhanced respiratory illness monitoring and
immediate reporting of suspected cases. - The facility implemented a plan for the water management
program beginning [DATE] to be on-going and include daily monitoring of temperature, disinfectant levels,
flushing logs, legionella filters for placement and function twice a day and monthly Water Management Plan
meetings until investigation closed. Although the Immediate Jeopardy was removed on [DATE] the
deficiency remained at Severity Level 2 (no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is
not Immediate Jeopardy) as the facility was still in the process of implementing their corrective action plan
and monitoring to ensure on-going compliance.Findings include:1. Review of the closed medical record for
Resident #76 revealed an admission date of [DATE] with diagnoses including myotonic muscular dystrophy,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, morbid obesity with alveolar hypoventilation, cardiomyopathy,
congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, tracheostomy, chronic kidney disease, and dependence of
respirator ventilator status. Resident #76 was discharged from the facility on [DATE] to the hospital where
she expired on [DATE].Review of the plan of care for Resident #76, date revised [DATE], revealed the
resident was a full code, was dependent on mechanical ventilation with a tracheostomy and had a self-care
deficit related to myotonic muscular dystrophy, history of cerebral vascular accident, chronic respiratory
failure with vent/trach dependence, impaired mobility, and morbid obesity. Interventions included provide full
resuscitative measures, monitor/document respiratory rate depth, quality every shift/as ordered, oxygen
settings as ordered, suction as necessary, transfer with two assist mechanical lifts, set-up assist for eating,
and assist with activities of daily living.Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment
dated [DATE] revealed Resident #76 had intact cognition, required (staff) set-up and clean-up assistance
for eating, was totally dependent on staff for oral hygiene, toileting, bathing, dressing, bed mobility and
transferring. Resident #76 was incontinent of bowel and bladder, had respiratory failure with a tracheostomy
and required mechanical ventilation.Review of a nursing note, dated [DATE] at 1:40 P.M. and authored by
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #379 revealed at approximately 11:50 A.M. the Certified Nursing Assistant
(CNA) responded to Resident #76's call light and noticed Resident #76 appeared cyanotic (bluish
discoloration of skin, lips, nails due to lack of oxygen). The CNA immediately called the nurse to the room.
Upon entering the room, immediately assessed the resident and her oxygen saturation was 45 percent
(normal 90-100%). The nurse promptly suctioned the resident and began bagging. The residents' oxygen
saturation improved to 100 percent. Resident #76 was placed back on the ventilator; however, her oxygen
saturation began to drop. Another nurse on duty contacted the emergency medical team (EMT) for
emergency transport. Bagging continued until EMT arrived and assumed care. The supervisor on call,
physician and family was notified.Review of the Transfer Form dated [DATE] at 1:46 P.M. and completed by
LPN # 828 revealed Resident #76 was sent to the hospital on [DATE] at 12:00 P.M. from the Aspen unit due
to unresponsiveness. The transfer was an unplanned transfer.Review of the Change in Condition
Evaluation, dated [DATE] at 1:57 P.M. completed by LPN #828 revealed Resident #76 was short of breath,

of the Change in Condition Evaluation dated [DATE] at 7:38 P.M. authored by Registered Nurse (RN) #399
revealed Resident #76 had a respiratory infection, shortness of breath, tired/weak/confused/drowsy. Blood
pressure was 108/71, pulse was 104, pulse oximetry was 88 percent. Physical assessment revealed
increased confusion, weakness, shortness of breath, and difficult to arouse. Nursing observation included
Resident #76 recent arrival back into the facility from the hospital, SpO2 (peripheral capillary oxygen
saturation) dropped, arterial blood gas (ABGs) were drawn by Respiratory Therapy (RT). Family was at
bedside and made aware resident returned from the hospital with diagnosis of pneumonia. Family aware
physician wanted Resident #76 sent back to the hospital because she should have been admitted .
Resident #76 had an abrupt change in mental status abnormal ABGs, oxygen levels dropped, with
increased respiration and low SpO2.Review of a nursing note, dated [DATE] at 7:40 P.M., authored by RN
#399 revealed Resident #76 returned from the hospital. Resident #76 oxygen desaturated down to 84.
Oxygen was turned up to 10 liters. SpO2 went to 91 then down to 87. ABGs were drawn with poor results.
Paperwork from the hospital stated Resident #76 had pneumonia. Pulmonary doctor was consulted and
stated to send Resident #76 back to the hospital. 911 was called.Review of assessment titled Discharge to
Hospital Form, dated [DATE] at 8:07 P.M. revealed report was called in to the hospital at 10:19 P.M.Review
of the Respiratory Therapy Note dated [DATE] at 8:12 P.M., revealed Resident #76 was re-admitted to the
facility when the RT arrived for shift. After the paramedics left, nursing performed an assessment and
discovered Resident #76 had a SpO2 of 82 percent. Pulse oximeters were attempted on multiple fingers
with no variations. The RT decided to increase oxygen to 10 milliliters per minute. Resident #76's oxygen
increased to 85 percent. Resident #76 oxygen saturations increased to 87 percent but then Resident #76
became lethargic. ABGs were drawn from the right radial artery with no complications. Physician was called
with results and was notified of the situation. Physician said to send Resident #76 to the hospital to have
her admitted .Review of the hospital records for Resident #76 dated [DATE] revealed a chief complaint of
low pulse oximeter readings. The principal problems listed included septic shock, morbid obesity, sepsis
due to pneumonia, acute on chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia and hypercapnia, shortness of breath,
and sepsis with acute hypoxic respiratory failure. Urine legionella antigen was collected on [DATE] and the
results were positive for Legionella Pneumophilla Ag in the urine (reference range negative). Discharge
diagnoses included intractable ventricular tachycardia, septic shock due to ventilator associated pneumonia
resulting in acute on chronic hypoxia/hypercapnic respiratory failure, acute renal insufficiency. Resident #76
expired at the hospital on [DATE] at 8:17 A.M.Review of a facility map revealed Resident #76 had resided
on the second floor of the facility on the Aspen unit (the ventilator unit). On the first floor of the facility was
an unoccupied, former resident unit identified as Somerset (which was noted by the facility Maintenance
Supervisor as closed down after it was affected by a flooding of water in the facility in [DATE]).Review of the
Legionella Water Management Program, updated [DATE], revealed it was the policy of the facility to
establish water management plans for reducing the risk of legionella and other opportunistic pathogens in
the facility's water supply. The facility must designate a team responsible for overseeing the water
management program who have expertise in infection control, facility management and maintenance as
well as outside consultants if needed. The water management program should be under ongoing review to
account for changes in the facility's water systems. Hot water temperatures should be continuously
monitored and maintained at 140 degrees Fahrenheit (F) or higher to prevent legionella growth, however, to
avoid scalding should be delivered at 120 degrees F. Water flow should be controlled to prevent stagnation.

Documentation Task Name: Testing and Monitoring of Water Management Plan for Legionella, dated
[DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE] and [DATE], completed by Former
Maintenance Director #821 revealed multiple locations in the facility were given a pass rating, however,
there were no specifications listed to explain what was evaluated. There were no additional documents with
this title after [DATE].Review of a facility document titled Water Management Risk Assessment and Analysis
dated [DATE], revealed the water management team (the Administrator, Medical Director, Director of
Nursing, Infection Preventionist and Maintenance Director) was responsible for oversight and consultation
regarding potential risks exposure prevention and training. The team would develop and maintain a hazard
analysis and critical control point plan. The facility administrator and Director of Nursing were responsible
for buildings where water systems are present and were responsible for ensuring components of the
legionella exposure control plan are developed and current and providing applicable employee training
where there is a potential risk of legionella being present. Incoming water was from the city of [NAME].
There was no written description of how the facility water was supplied, heated, stored, recirculated, mixed
or moved between floors. Under Facility Control Procedures it was noted the water management plan
(WMP) was developed to reduce the risk for legionella growing and spreading to the facility population at
higher risk for Legionnaires disease. The facility had chosen control measures as followed: pipework with
lack of water flow or stagnation can cause risk for bacterial growth. Weekly flushing of water through all
faucets in resident rooms, eye wash stations, and beauty shop, this task will be added to housekeepers to
be completed Monday or Tuesday each week and consisting of flushing each faucet for three minutes and
showers. Also flush all toilets at least once a week. The hot water system boiler temperature would be set to
140 degrees F and hot water holding tanks at 140 degrees F and facility staff would record the water
temperature weekly. Supervision to review documentation by Thursday each week to ensure compliance
and if not being done the task would be scheduled to be done by Friday. There was no standardized form
attached for recording consistent measures to review or who was responsible to review for remediation.
Review of a facility document titled Legionella/Hand Water, dated [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], [DATE]

the Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidance for a full investigation and to set up a call to go over the
following steps on [DATE] at 12:30 P.M. with the facility: Contact a?Legionella?consultant to assist with
installing filters, assisting with sample collection, conducting a facility assessment, and water systems.
Please see the attached list of active consultants in Ohio.??? Implement water-use restrictions throughout
the facility using point-of-use filters (0.2 microns). ODH recommends using filters graded for at least 60
days during the investigations. Filters should be installed within two to three days after receipt of this email.
Working with their consultant, they may either install these filters on all fixtures in the building or on key
locations and restrict water access everywhere else. Communicate to staff and residents about water
restrictions?and post signage near each fixture with a filter for people to contact maintenance staff if a filter
is damaged or removed.?CDC provides communication resources on their website.??? Conduct a new risk
assessment of the facility, it is recommended to complete a CDC?Legionella?Environmental Assessment
Form (LEAF). Send the completed assessment form to ODH and?the local health district?when done.???
Create a?Legionella?sampling plan for their facility. These will be
considered?pre-remediation?samples?and will follow CDC guidance for samples collected during an
investigation. Samples should be a combination of flush (bulk water) and first draws/swabs (see CDC
sampling guidance). Water samples should be collected in 1L bottles and sent to a CDC ELITE Certified
Laboratory. Make sure samples are evenly distributed and include all water sources in each of the case

had no further oversite as of 07/21/25. IP RN #431 stated her training was watching RN #340 for one week,
then for the second week completing the tasks she watched RN #340 complete the week prior. When asked
where the December 2025 infection control log and surveillance was map, she stated it was incomplete and
would not be ready for review until 01/01/26. When asked why, she stated she did not keep a running log of
infections for the month because she waited until the end of the month to compile the data and completed
the surveillance maps. IP RN #431 confirmed the infection control logs from October 2025, and November
2025 were incomplete and did not have all the infections for the facility listed on them including infections
for Residents #25, #62 and #64.

dialysis and was several inches deep and it flowed in under the entry door to dialysis which afffected those
tiles. RN #841 also stated the foul odor on the unit was the resident body waste that was going into the
drains from the multiple dialysis machines which went under the floors to the outside. RN #841 said a
company had come out several times to clean the drains but the odor will not go away. RN #841 stated a
dialysis unit should not have an odor of body waste. Interview on 12/11/25 at 12:11 P.M. with Restoration
