Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, medical record review, interview and review of the NSO (Nurses Services Organization)
guidelines, the facility failed to ensure Resident #13's bowel and bladder assessment was accurately
documented in Resident #13's medical record. This affected one resident (#13) out of three residents
reviewed for incontinence care. The facility census was 144.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Resident #13 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including acute cystitis (urinary bladder infection),
encephalopathy, morbid obesity, diabetes mellitus, obstructive sleep apnea, anxiety, cognitive decline,
arthritis, scoliosis, diverticulitis, vitamin D deficiency, Raynaud's Syndrome, depression, insomnia,
thyrotoxicosis (excessive thyroid hormone) with goiter, fibromyalgia (wide-spread pain), hypothyroidism
(underactive thyroid), and meninges (membranes covering the brain) tumor.
A review of Resident #13's clinical record revealed a Minimum Data Set (MDS) admission assessment
dated [DATE] which indicated Resident #13 had an indwelling urinary catheter. Review of Resident #13's
certified nursing assistant (CNA) documentation dated 01/10/25 to 01/30/25 indicated Resident #13 had
frequent urinary incontinence with occasional urinary continence. There was no plan of care or
interventions implemented to provide care for an indwelling urinary catheter. Further review of Resident
#13's clinical record revealed no physician orders to discontinue an indwelling urinary catheter. Resident
#13's nursing progress notes dated 01/10/25 to 02/06/25 indicated no documentation of the presence of an
indwelling urinary catheter or that the indwelling urinary catheter was discontinued.
Resident #13's progress note dated 01/10/25 indicated she had a Brief Interview Mental Status (BIMS)
score of 10 which indicated she had moderate cognitive impairment. Resident #13 was alert, oriented, and
pleasant.
An observation of Resident #13 on 02/03/25 at 9:45 A.M. revealed there was no indwelling urinary catheter
tubing or urine drainage bag observed hanging from Resident #13's bed frame.
An interview with Resident #13 on 02/05/25 at 12:05 P.M. revealed she had never had an indwelling urinary
catheter on admission to the facility.
An interview with Director of Nursing (DON) #1241 on 02/05/25 at 10:29 A.M. verified the above findings
and agreed there was inconsistent documentation of the presence and/or absence of an indwelling urinary
catheter for Resident #13.

Interviews with CNA #1294 and CNA #1420 on 02/06/25 between 11:30 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. they had
provided care for Resident #13 upon admission to the facility. Both staff indicated Resident #13 did not have
an indwelling urinary catheter upon admission to the facility.
A review of the NSO (Nurses Services Organization) guidelines dated 2024 for nursing documentation
indicated a complete and accurate clinical record presents the strongest defense against any malpractice
or licensing board action. While some specialized settings, practice [NAME], regulations and other areas
may require additional types or components of documentation, the following principles may lessen nurses'
liability exposures:
•
Chart in the correct record. Ensure that key patient identifiers are accurate, including the spelling of the
patient's name and their date of birth , to ensure effective linking of patient healthcare information records
within and across systems.
•
Chart promptly. As soon as possible after you make an observation or provide care, document your actions
for more detailed notes. If you wait until the end of your shift, you could forget to include important
information.
•
Be accurate, objective, and complete. Document what you see, hear, and do. Include data relating to all
aspects of patient care and the nursing process.

Based on record review, interview, review of employee corrective action and facility policy review, the facility
failed to complete wound treatments as ordered by the physician for Resident #15. This affected one
resident (#15) of three residents reviewed for treatments. The facility census was 144.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
Review of the medical record for Resident #15 revealed an admission date of 10/28/24 with diagnoses
including disorders of veins, peripheral vascular disease, congestive heart failure and diabetes mellitus type
two. The admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 11/03/24, revealed the resident had no
cognitive impairment. The weekly nurse practitioner (NP) wound assessments from 12/05/24 to 01/23/25
indicated Resident #15 had chronic left lower extremity (LLE) vascular ulcers, one medial and one lateral,
which required daily wound dressing changes.
Review of Resident #15's treatment administration record (TAR) from December 2024 to January 2025
revealed a daily dressing change ordered to begin 12/06/24 for the LLE medial and lateral wounds. On
12/20/24, 01/09/25, 01/11/25, 01/12/25, 01/13/25, 01/19/25 and 01/23/25, the daily dressing changes were
not documented as completed.
Interview on 02/06/25 at 10:18 A.M. with Wound Nurse (WN) #1217 verified the daily dressing changes for
Resident #15's LLE vascular ulcers were not documented as being completed on 12/20/24, 01/09/25,
01/11/25, 01/12/25, 01/13/25, 01/19/25 and 01/23/25. WN #1217 explained on 01/09/25 and 01/23/25 the
NP was in the facility and would have completed the dressing changes, and on 01/13/25 and 01/20/25, she
remembered being in the facility so the treatments would have been done but just not signed off. WN #1217
continued to explain if any treatments were found not being done then a corrective action form was
completed so it was believed the 01/12/25 and 01/19/25 dressings were probably done. However, WN
#1217 confirmed there was no documented evidence Resident #15's dressing changes were completed as
ordered on 12/20/24 and 01/11/25, and in addition recalled a corrective action form being completed for an
additional two times in December 2024 when a nurse had signed off doing Resident #15's treatment but did
not.
Review of the employee notice of corrective action form signed by Registered Nurse (RN) #1287 on
12/17/24 revealed a verbal warning for not completing treatments on 12/14/24 and 12/15/24 as ordered, yet
documenting it was done.
Review of the undated facility policy, Dressing Change - Clean revealed to document the completion of
treatments in the TAR.

Provide appropriate care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel/bladder, appropriate
catheter care, and appropriate care to prevent urinary tract infections.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure Resident #56 and
Resident #63 were assisted with toileting and/or incontinence care and failed to provide a toileting program
for Resident #63. This affected two residents (#56 and #63) out of three residents reviewed for incontinence
care. The facility census was 144.
Findings include:
1. Resident #56 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including high blood pressure, atherosclerotic
heart disease, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), Gilbert Syndrome (A syndrome in which the liver of
affected individuals processes bilirubin more slowly than the majority.), senile degeneration of the brain,
adjustment disorder, diabetes mellitus, and malnutrition.
Resident #56's care plan initiated on 04/02/24 indicated Resident #56 had bladder incontinence. The goal
of the care plan was Resident #56 would remain clean and odor free through review date. Interventions on
the care plan included providing perineal care as needed, assisting with toileting and incontinence care as
needed and encouraging Resident #56 to ask for assistance with incontinent care.
Resident #56's Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] indicated Resident #56 had
moderate cognitive impairment, bowel and bladder incontinence and he needed partial/moderate
assistance with toileting/perineal hygiene, adjusting clothes before and after voiding or having a bowel
movement.
An observation and interview with Resident #56 on 02/03/25 at 9:25 A.M. revealed Resident #56 was lying
in bed in his room. There was a strong, foul odor of urine present in the room. An observation of Resident
#56's restroom revealed a pair of blue jeans hanging on the towel bar which had a large wet area located
on the seat of the pants. The foul odor of urine was stronger in the restroom. Resident #56 stated he was
incontinent during the nighttime hours and had removed his blue jeans and hung them on the towel rack.
Resident #56 was unable to remember what time it was when he woke up from sleeping and was
incontinent, but stated it was still dark outside. Resident #56 stated he was not provided with an
incontinence brief and had donned a pair of pajama pants after he removed his blue jeans. Resident #56
stated the staff had not been in his room to check him yet this morning.
An interview with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1234 on 02/03/25 at 9:25 A.M. verified the above
findings and stated the CNA assigned to care for Resident #56 was currently on her break. CNA #1234
stated the CNA staff arrived in the morning for the start of their shift at 6:30 A.M. and should have made
rounds on all the residents to ensure their care needs were met. CNA #1234 stated she had not seen
Resident #56 since she arrived at the facility at 6:30 A.M.
Review of the undated facility policy titled Incontinence Care indicated the purpose of the policy was to
maintain skin integrity, prevent skin breakdown, control odor and provide comfort and self-esteem for the
residents. This protocol is to be utilized on residents who are incontinent of bowel and/or bladder. After each
episode of incontinence, greet the residents and explain procedure, provide incontinence care, change
linens and clothing as needed, and provide an absorbent under pad and/or incontinence brief.

2. Record review for Resident #63 revealed an admission date of 03/29/19 with diagnoses including
dementia, altered mental status, aphasia, anxiety disorder, and hypertension.
Review of the care plan last revised 05/21/24 revealed Resident #63 was at risk for impaired skin integrity
related to fragile skin, incontinence, and he preferred to urinate in various inappropriate places.
Interventions included inspecting skin during routine daily care, medications as ordered, and incontinent
care after each episode. There were no interventions regarding the prevention of urinating in inappropriate
places.
Review of the care plan last revised 08/24/24 revealed Resident #63 was on diuretic therapy related to
hypertension. Intervention included obtaining and monitoring vital signs as needed. There was nothing in
the care plan regarding interventions due to increased urination, especially after administration of
medication.
Review of the care plan last revised 08/28/24 revealed Resident #63 was at risk for alteration in elimination
related to incontinence, decreased mobility and need for staff assist with toileting needs. Interventions
including checking and changing the resident every two hours and providing incontinence care as needed.
Review of the Continence Assessment dated 11/22/24 revealed Resident #63 was continent as well as
incontinent, utilized a toilet, had confusion and memory loss. He was on diuretic therapy which affected his
continence. He was frequently incontinent of bowel, and there was not a bowel toileting program in place.
He also was frequently incontinent of urine and per the assessment, a trial of a toileting program such as
scheduled toileting, prompted toileting, or bladder training had not been attempted since admission. He
also was not identified as on a current toileting program and/or trial. There was no documentation
explaining why Resident #63 would not be appropriate for a program.
Review of the quarterly MDS 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #63 had impaired cognition.
He had no behaviors identified and required partial to moderate assistance with toileting. He was able to
transfer and ambulate independently. He was frequently incontinent of urine and always incontinent of
bowel.
Observation and interview on 02/04/25 at 8:18 A.M. revealed Resident #63's room had a large puddle in
the upper left corner of his room with brown stained tiles. The closet by the door also had a large puddle,
and the inside of the closet had brown, black staining where it appeared the tiles were lifting, and the liquid
was seeping underneath the tiles. There were two puddles on the floor by the closet near the window that
also contained brown tiles. The baseboards in each of the closets were black covering the length of each
closet. There was a strong pervasive urine smell coming from the room that could be smelled from the
hallway. Resident #63 was unable to provide any details of the condition of his room.
Interview on 02/04/25 at 8:18 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #1273 verified the above findings. She
verified all the puddles were urine, and the staining on the baseboards and tiles were also caused by
Resident #63 urinating on the floor continuously. She revealed, he just urinates all over his room. She also
verified that the tiles were lifting, and the urine was seeping underneath the tiles, and the floor was sticky.
She revealed the room had been like that for some time, but housekeeping cleans the room daily and tried
to clean the best that they could. She stated all the puddles observed were most likely from the last time
housekeeping had cleaned his room yesterday, 02/03/25. She verified that housekeeping or staff do not
clean more than once a day because it was an ongoing issue

with him continuously urinating on the floor. She stated, yes, it is pretty bad but not sure what else to do for
him except his whole room needed to be redone but then he would just continue to urinate on the floor. She
was not aware of any toileting program that Resident #63 was on.
Observation and interview on 02/04/25 at 8:21 A.M. with Director of Nursing (DON) #1238 and
Maintenance Director #1256 of Resident #63 room verified the above findings. They both stated that they
had no knowledge of the condition of his room. DON #1238 stated, oh my yes this is unacceptable and not
good. They both also verified the multiple puddles of urine throughout the room and strong urine smell that
was smelled in the room as well as from the hallway. DON #1238 verified staff should be cleaning after
each episode, not waiting for an accumulation of puddles. Maintenance Director #1256 verified the tiles,
and the baseboards needed to be replaced. DON #1238 verified there was no urinal present in his room as
well as she was not aware if he was on a toileting program and/or what interventions were in place.
Observation on 02/04/25 at 11:23 A.M. revealed there was a wet floor sign on the outside of Resident #63's
room, but a strong urine smell continued coming from the room into the hallway. The floor was sticky; when
this surveyor walked on it, shoes could be heard sticking to the floor, and the stains to the floor and
baseboards continued. The puddles of liquid were no longer present. Resident #63 was sitting in the lounge
in a recliner.
Observation on 02/04/25 at 12:11 P.M. revealed Resident #63 got up from the recliner in the lounge and
ambulated down the hallway past RN #1273 and CNA #1403 into his room where he urinated in the closet
by the window leaving a puddle of urine.
Interview on 02/04/25 at 12:14 P.M. with CNA #1403 revealed she observed Resident #63 get up from the
recliner but thought he went into the dining room. She revealed they try to catch him before he urinates in
his room, but they get busy with things and do not see when he goes. She verified there was a puddle of
urine in the closet by the window and that the floor had not been thoroughly cleaned as it continued to be
sticky. She also verified the strong urine smell, and stated, I know, his room is bad; it always was.
Interview on 02/04/25 at 2:40 P.M. with Housekeeping #1244 revealed he usually was assigned to Resident
#63's unit and stated when he gets to his room there were multiple puddles of urine everyday as well as the
stained black substance on the baseboard and brown stained tiles. He revealed no matter how well he tried
to clean; the stains do not come off, and the urine had seeped under the tiles causing most all the tiles to
lift. He verified the condition of his room had been like that for a long time. He revealed he usually waited to
the end of his shift to clean his room because if he did it at the beginning Resident #63 just messed it up by
urinating on the floor so that was why he waited till the end of the shift. He verified he usually only cleaned
his room once a shift.
Interview on 02/04/25 at 2:54 P.M. with Housekeeping/Laundry Supervisor #1253 revealed Housekeeper
#1244 was the housekeeping staff on the unit Resident #63 resided. She verified Housekeeper #1244
should be cleaning Resident #63's room at least twice a day. She revealed, often when she comes in, there
were multiple puddles of urine throughout his room. She had been working at the facility for over three
years and that the urine was embedded into the floor tiles and baseboards causing the tiles to heave up
and pull away from the floor. She revealed she knew Maintenance Director #1256 was aware of the
condition of his room for quite a while because she had communicated it to him. She verified no matter how
much they cleaned the room; the strong urine smell was still present as the urine had seeped under the
stained tiles and baseboards.

Interview on 02/05/25 at 7:59 A.M. with CNA #1203 revealed Resident #63 had urinated for years on the
floor. She revealed they attempted to take him to the bathroom as often as they could, but Resident #63
was not on a specific toileting schedule and did not have any other interventions that she was aware of.
Interview on 02/05/25 at 8:56 A.M. with the DON verified she did not have any documentation regarding
where a toileting program had been attempted in the past for Resident #63. She was going to investigate
what interventions could be attempted. She verified staff (nursing and housekeeping) should be intervening
after each time Resident #63 urinated inappropriately in his room not just leaving the puddles of urine. She
also verified she had observed his room and that it needed addressed because the tiles and baseboards
were stained, tiles were lifting because urine had accumulated underneath, and there was a strong

Review of the facility policy labeled, Incontinence Care revealed the purpose of the policy was to maintain
skin integrity, prevent skin breakdown, control, odor, and provide comfort and self-esteem for the resident.
The policy revealed the facility would assess and document the following regarding the resident: elevation
status, pattern tracking when indicated, and urine and bowel elimination. The policy revealed after each
episode incontinence care would be provided. There was nothing in the policy regarding toileting programs.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review, interview and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure Resident #36 was reweighed
according to facility policy and failed to have documented evidence the physician was notified of after an
8.7% weight loss in 30 days and failed to ensure Resident #37's weekly weights were obtained as ordered.
This affected two residents (#36 and #37) of three residents reviewed for nutrition and had the potential to
affect all 144 residents in the facility.
Residents Affected - Few
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #36 revealed an admission date of 06/04/20. Diagnoses
included malnutrition, muscle weakness, prostate disorder, depression and diabetes.
Review of Resident #36's weight record revealed on 12/04/24 Resident #36 weighed 322 pounds and on
01/03/2025 Resident #36 weighed 294 pounds which was a 8.70% weight loss in 30 days. There was no
documented evidence the physician was notified of the weight loss and no documented evidence a
reweight was obtained.
Review of the care plan dated 12/30/24 revealed Resident #36 was at risk for alteration in nutritional status.
Interventions included assisting with meals as needed, encouraging healthy choices, providing diets as
ordered and monitoring weights as ordered.
Review of the comprehensive Minimum Data Set (MDS) 3.0 assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident
#36 was cognitively intact. He required set-up help for eating, supervision for oral hygiene, substantial or
maximum assistance for personal hygiene and was dependent for toileting and showering. He had weight
loss and was not in a prescribed weight loss regimen.
Review of the dietary assessment note dated 01/09/25 revealed Resident #36 had a significant weight loss
of 8.70% in 30 days. The note indicated a reweight would be requested to verify accuracy.
Interview on 02/05/25 at 3:18 P.M. with Registered Dietitian (RD) #1239 confirmed there was no reweigh for
Resident #36, based on the progress note dated 01/09/25.
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #37 revealed an admission date of 12/13/24. Diagnoses
included congestive heart failure, diabetes, morbid obesity, kidney disease, dysphagia, anemia and vitamin
D deficiency.
Review of the care plan dated 12/16/24 revealed Resident #37 was at risk for alterations in nutrition and
hydration. Interventions included communicating with the dialysis dietitian, maintaining weight without a

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, review of the centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
guidelines and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure staff donned the appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE) when providing direct care to Resident #13, Resident #16, Resident #36,
Resident #50 and Resident #119. This affected five residents (#13, #16, #36, #50, and #119) out of five
residents reviewed for enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) and/or transmission based precautions (TBP)
and had the potential to affect and additional 19 residents (#4, #7, #15, #23, #31, #33, #60, #81, #91, #93,
#96, #106, #111, #114, #125, #127, #135, #196, and #444) identified by the facility with orders for EBP. The
facility census was 144.
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
1. Resident #50 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including respiratory failure, senile degeneration of
the brain, gastronomy and colostomy status, diabetes mellitus, depression, bone density disorder, anxiety,
gastroesophageal reflux disease, hemiplegia and hemiparesis, kidney failure, plasma-protein disorder,
hyperosmolality, polyneuropathy, vitamin D deficiency, anemia, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Resident #50's physician order revised 11/22/24 indicated to implement EBP related to tube feedings.
Resident #50's care plan revised on 05/29/24 indicated Resident #50 was at risk for infection related to an
ostomy. Interventions on the care plan indicated to maintain EBP with care as indicated and provide
education on EBP to family as needed.
An observation on 02/05/24 at 7:19 A.M. of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1261 and CNA #1421
provide incontinence care for Resident #50 revealed a failure to wear the appropriate PPE. A sign outside

during direct care tasks. CNA #1261 and CNA #1421 entered Resident #50's room and proceeded to
provide incontinence care. Both staff donned a pair of gloves but did not wear a gown while providing the
incontinence care for Resident #50. The staff assisted Resident #50 with changing the soiled incontinence
brief and linens, cleaned Resident #50's perineal area and repositioned Resident #50 for comfort during the
incontinence care.
An interview with CNA #1261 and CNA #1421 on 02/05/25 at 7:27 A.M. verified they did not wear the
appropriate PPE during Resident #50's incontinence care. Both of the staff stated they thought they were
only supposed to wear gloves during the task and stated they didn't know where to find the disposable
gowns because there was no supply cart located outside of Resident #50's room with PPE supplies.
An interview with Director of Nursing (DON) #1241 on 02/05/25 at 7:27 A.M. verified the staff were
supposed to wear the appropriate PPE for EBP during Resident #50's incontinence care and proceeded to
provide education to CNA #1261 and CNA #1421 on the policy and procedure for EBP implementation.
2. Resident #16 was re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including muscular dystrophy, below the right
knee amputation, diabetes mellitus, neuromuscular bladder, polyneuropathy, anemia, high blood pressure,

Residents Affected - Some
An observation of CNA #1234 on 02/04/25 at 9:35 A.M. assist Resident #16 with bathing and dressing and
personal hygiene revealed a failure to wear appropriate PPE during the task. A sign located outside of
Resident #16's room revealed EBP during direct care tasks. The sign indicated the staff should don a gown
and gloves when providing direct care tasks including bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. CNA #1234
entered Resident #16's room and donned a pair of gloves but did not wear a gown during the task.
On 02/04/25 between 9:30 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. an interview with CNA #1234 stated she forgot to wear the
appropriate PPE while assisting Resident #16 with dressing, bathing, and personal hygiene. CNA #1234
stated the PPE was located on the linen cart located in the hallway and she should have worn a gown in
addition to the disposable gloves while assisting Resident #16.
Review of the undated facility policy and procedure titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions indicated the
purpose of the policy was to reduce the transmission of multidrug resistant organism (MDROs) when high
contact resident care activities for residents with known to be colonized or infected with MDRO as well as
those at increased risk to acquire MDRO. Residents with the following triggers will receive Enhanced
Barrier Precautions (EBP) and indicate they should be followed for any resident in the facility with:
•
Infection or colonization with a CDC-targeted MDRO when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply; or
•
Wounds and/or indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with
a MDRO.
Indwelling medical devices may include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomies.
Chronic wounds include pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, unhealed surgical wounds, and venous status
ulcers.
EBP is to be used in conjunction with standard precautions and requires use of gown and gloves during
high-contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer of MDROs to staff hands and
clothing. Use of eye protection may be necessary when splash or spray may occur but is not necessary in
other situations.
Examples of high-contact resident care activities requiring gown and glove use among residents that trigger
EBP use include:

Educate residents and staff on COVID-19 vaccination, offer the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents and
staff after education, and properly document each resident and staff member's vaccination status.
Based on review of personnel records and interview the facility failed to maintain documentation the
COVID-19 vaccine was offered to the staff, and the staff were provided education regarding the benefits
and risks associated with COVID-19 vaccine annually. This had the potential to affect all 144 residents in
the facility.
Findings include:
A review of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1234's, CNA #1274's, CNA #1226's, CNA #1315's and
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #1231's personnel records revealed there was no documentation the
facility had provided education and/or offered the information/consent regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.
An interview with Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) #1240 on 02/06/25 at 10:50 A.M. stated she did not
file the employee's consent and/or education regarding the COVID-19 vaccine in the employees' personnel
files. ICP #1240 stated the Human Resources Manager (HRM) filed the consents and education in the
employees' personnel files.
An interview with the HRM #1267 on 02/06/25 at 11:00 A.M. verified the facility failed to maintain
documentation the COVID-19 vaccine was offered to the staff, and the staff were provided education
regarding the benefits and risks associated with COVID-19 vaccine for staff. Only the newly employed staff
with a hire date from 02/06/24 to 02/06/25 had the required documentation in their personnel record.
The facility policy titled COVID 19 Vaccination, revised 12/2021, indicated:
•
Prior to offering the COVID-19 immunization to the staff, the nursing facility will provide education regarding
the benefits and potential side effects of the immunization.
•
The nursing facility will offer the vaccine for COVID-19 series or booster per the manufacturer guidelines via
the authorized provider, unless the immunization is medically contraindicated, the staff refuses the
immunization, or if the staff have already been immunized during the time period. The staff would be
observed for 15 minutes post vaccination by the authorized administering provider and/or facility licensed
nursing staff to monitor for anaphylactic reaction and deliver emergency response care, as needed.
•
The staff had the right to refuse the COVID-19 immunization. The refusal and the reason for the refusal
should be documented within the staff member's personnel file. If a staff member refuses to receive the
vaccine, they must present evidence from their physician as to why the vaccine would be contraindicated
for them. If they cannot do so, they would be removed from the schedule until they provide evidence of
vaccination to the facility. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action to

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review and facility policy review, the facility failed to adequately clean and
maintain Resident #63's room, Resident #23's wheelchair, the laundry room and the resident common
areas for [NAME] unit and 200-hall. This affected two residents (#23 and #63) and had the potential to
affect all 144 residents residing in the facility.
Findings include:
1. Observation on 02/03/25 at 9:38 A.M. of the 200-hall common area revealed a two-person fabric couch
located to the right of the television across from room [ROOM NUMBER]. The couch armrests and seats
were heavily soiled with the seat fabric torn open from the far-right of the cushion across toward the far-left
of the cushion. The large tear was moderately wide which exposed the yellow-colored foam-like material
underneath the fabric. Nearby, to the right of the couch was one non-reclining fabric chair with an ottoman
placed in front of it which was located across from room [ROOM NUMBER]. Both the chair and the ottoman
were heavily soiled with multiple scattered dark colored stains. The fabric of both armrests and the upper
rear portion of the chair was worn away which revealed multiple open holes exposing the wood and metal
framing beneath. The right armrest had torn fabric which exposed seven large metal nail heads from the
wood frame underneath, and the left armrest also had exposed the wood framing from fabric torn away.
There were six dining chairs located within the vicinity of the non-reclining chair. Each chair was heavily
soiled with dark colored stains on both the seats and upper backs of the chairs. Each wooden chair leg had
excessive damage including multiple deep marks, dents and gashes which were unsightly. To the left of the
television was a door frame leading from the 200-hall resident care area towards the facility front entrance.
There was a large crack in the wall from the right mid to the upper portion of the wall surrounding the door
frame. This was adjacent to room [ROOM NUMBER]. There were small areas of missing plaster alongside
the cracks and the word crack was written in black onto the lower portion of the cracked wall. The metal
framing underneath the damaged wall was visible through the cracked areas on the lower portion of the
damage. An interview at the time of the observation with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the findings.
2. Record review for Resident #63 revealed an admission date of 03/29/19 and diagnoses included
dementia, altered mental status, aphasia, anxiety disorder, and hypertension.
Review of care plan last revised 05/21/24 revealed Resident #63 was at risk for impaired skin integrity
related to fragile skin, incontinence and that he preferred to urinate in various inappropriate places.
Interventions included inspecting skin during routine daily care, medications as ordered, and incontinent
care after each incontinence episode. There were no interventions regarding the prevention of urinating in
inappropriate places.
Observation and interview on 02/04/25 at 8:18 A.M. revealed Resident #63's room had a large puddle in
the upper left corner of his room with brown stained tiles. The closet by the door also had a large puddle,
and the inside of the closet had brown, black staining where it appeared the tiles were lifting, and the liquid
was seeping underneath the tiles. There were two puddles on the floor by the closet near the window that
also contained brown tiles. The baseboards in each of the closets were black covering the length of each
closet. There was a strong pervasive urine smell coming from the room that could be smelled from the
hallway. Resident #63 was unable to provide any details of the condition of his room.

Residents Affected - Some
Interview on 02/04/25 at 8:18 A.M. with Registered Nurse (RN) #1273 verified the above findings. She
verified all the puddles were urine, and the staining on the baseboards and tiles were also caused by
Resident #63 urinating on the floor continuously. She revealed, he just urinates all over his room. She also
verified that the tiles were lifting, and the urine was seeping underneath the tiles, and the floor was sticky.
She revealed the room had been like that for some time, but housekeeping cleans the room daily and tried
to clean the best that they could. She stated all the puddles observed were most likely from the last time
housekeeping had cleaned his room yesterday, 02/03/25. She verified that housekeeping or staff do not
clean more than once a day because it was an ongoing issue with him continuously urinating on the floor.
She stated, yes, it is pretty bad but not sure what else to do for him except his whole room needed to be
redone but then he would just continue to urinate on the floor. She was not aware of any toileting program
that Resident #63 was on.
Observation and interview on 02/04/25 at 8:21 A.M. with the DON #1238 and Maintenance Director #1256
of Resident #63 room verified the above findings. They both stated that they had no knowledge of the
condition of his room. DON #1238 stated, oh my yes this is unacceptable and not good. They both also
verified the multiple puddles of urine throughout the room and strong urine smell that was smelled in the
room as well as from the hallway. DON #1238 verified staff should be cleaning after each episode, not
waiting for an accumulation of puddles. Maintenance Director #1256 verified the tiles, and the baseboards
needed to be replaced. DON #1238 verified there was no urinal present in his room as well as she was not
aware if he was on a toileting program and/or what interventions were in place.
Observation on 02/04/25 at 11:23 A.M. revealed there was a wet floor sign on the outside of Resident #63's
room, but a strong urine smell continued coming from the room into the hallway. The floor was sticky; when
this surveyor walked on it, shoes could be heard sticking to the floor, and the stains to the floor and
baseboards continued. The puddles of liquid were no longer present. Resident #63 was sitting in the lounge
in a recliner.
Observation on 02/04/25 at 12:11 P.M. revealed Resident #63 got up from the recliner in the lounge and
ambulated down the hallway past RN #1273 and CNA #1403 into his room where he urinated in the closet
by the window leaving a puddle of urine.
Interview on 02/04/25 at 2:54 P.M. with Housekeeping/Laundry Supervisor #1253 revealed Housekeeper
#1244 was the housekeeping staff on the unit Resident #63 resided. She verified Housekeeper #1244
should be cleaning Resident #63's room at least twice a day. She revealed, often when she comes in, there
were multiple puddles of urine throughout his room. She had been working at the facility for over three
years and that the urine was embedded into the floor tiles and baseboards causing the tiles to heave up
and pull away from the floor. She revealed she knew Maintenance Director #1256 was aware of the
condition of his room for quite a while because she had communicated it to him. She verified no matter how
much they cleaned the room; the strong urine smell was still present as the urine had seeped under the
stained tiles and baseboards.
3. Observation on 02/03/25 at 9:04 A.M. on [NAME] unit revealed a couch in the lounge area with multiple
brown stains covering the seat cushions and arm rests. The couch seat cushions also contained brownish
circular stains appearing to be from urine.
Interview on 02/03/25 at 9:04 A.M. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1200 verified the couch in the
lounge area contained stains. She revealed several of the residents were incontinent on the unit and
frequently urinated on the couch causing the brown circular stains, and the couch had been
