Diagnoses included diabetes, schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cerebral ischemic attack, restlessness and agitation and impulsive behavior. Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #23 was cognitively intact. The dental section indicated Resident #23 had no broken teeth. Review of the plan of care dated 05/08/24 revealed Resident #23 was at risk for oral and dental problems. Interventions included to monitor, document and report any problems needing attention. Review of dental notes dated 09/27/23 revealed Resident #23 was seen by the dentist for discomfort. Extraction was recommended for probable broken tooth.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation, staff interview and review of facility policy, the facility failed to ensure food was prepared in a manner to prevent food-borne illness. This had the potential to affect all residents residing in the facility, with the exception of two residents (#48 and #237) identified by the facility as having no food by mouth (NPO). The facility census was 87. Findings include: Observation on 07/15/24 at 9:00 A.M. revealed two large, uncooked pork loins in plastic packaging, lying in the sink. The two raw pork loins were submerged in water with the drain plug in place, keeping the water from draining. No water was running into the sink. Dietary Manager (DM) #500 obtained the temperature of the water the pork loins were submerged in with a facility thermometer. The water temperature was 62 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Interview with DM #500 on 07/15/24 at 9:02 A.M. confirmed the two raw pork loins were submerged in standing water, which had a temperature of 62 degrees F. DM #500 confirmed raw meats were only to be thawed under cold running water. Review of the facility policy titled Time and Temperature Control and Recording, undated, revealed during thawing, the surface of foods can warm up enough to allow dangerous bacteria to grow. Since it can take more than four hours to thaw most foods, it is imperative to do so in a safe manner to discourage the growth of bacteria. For cold water thawing, thaw frozen food, in its leak-proof packaging, completely submerged under clean, cold, running water. This method is not appropriate for large roasts/cuts of meat that will not thaw within the four hour timeframe of exposure to temperatures above 41 degrees F.

F 0883 Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on medical record review, staff interview and review of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, the facility failed to ensure residents were timely offered, provided, and educated on pneumococcal vaccinations. This affected three (#23, #25, and #58) of five residents reviewed for vaccination status. The facility census was 87. Residents Affected - Few Findings include: 1. Review of the medical record for Resident #23 revealed an admission date of 10/04/19. Diagnoses included diabetes, schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cerebral ischemic attack, restlessness and agitation and impulsive behavior. Review of the pneumococcal consent dated 09/15/23 revealed Resident #23 consented to the pneumonia vaccine. Further review revealed the vaccine was not administered until 10/02/23. 2. Review of the medical record for Resident #25 revealed an admission date of 12/29/22. Diagnoses included hemiplegia and hemiparesis, cerebral infarct, diabetes and epilepsy. Further review of Resident #25's medical record revealed the resident's family declined the pneumococcal vaccine. The medical record contained no evidence Resident #25 or the resident's responsible party were provided education on the vaccination, including the risks and benefits. 3. Review of the medical record for Resident #58 revealed an admission date of 04/09/24. Diagnoses included heart disease, hemiplegia and hemiparesis, atrial fibrillation, heart disease, spinal stenosis and cerebral attack. Review of the immunization record revealed Resident #58 received the Prevnar 13 pneumococcal vaccine on 12/21/15. Further review revealed no evidence Resident #58 was offered or provided any additional doses of pneumococcal vaccinations. Review of the CDC guidelines for pneumococcal vaccination revealed a dose of pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV20) or pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), at least one year after the previous dose of Prevnar 13, was recommended for Resident #58. Interview on 07/18/24 at 11:20 A.M. with Infection Preventionist (IP) #78 and Minimum Data Set Nurse (MDSN) #66 confirmed there was a delay in Resident #23 receiving the pneumococcal vaccination following consent. IP #78 and MDSN #66 stated vaccines should be provided within one week of getting consent from the resident or the resident's responsible party. Additionally, IP #78 and MDSN #66 verified there was no evidence Resident #25 was provided education related to pneumococcal vaccination and no evidence Resident #58 had been offered or provided the CDC recommended dose of either PCV20 or PPSV23. Review of the facility policy titled Pneumococcal Vaccination of Residents, undated, revealed each resident would be asked about the pneumococcal vaccination as well as previous records reviewed to determine vaccination status. Recommendations were available from the CDC on specific situations in which vaccination is indicated, as well as direction on additional booster doses that may be recommended.
