SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0880
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on review of the facility water management program, staff interview, and review of a Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services Survey and Certification memo, the facility failed to ensure preventive
measures for Legionella were completed according to their water management plan. This had the potential
to affect all 95 residents at the facility. The facility census was 95.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Review of the facility binder titled Water Management Program for Building/Water Systems, dated 2021,
revealed the facility was to obtain water temperatures weekly.
Interview on 06/23/22 at 8:03 A.M. with the Maintenance Supervisor #755 confirmed the facility was not
obtaining weekly water temperatures as per their water management program.
Review of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Survey and Certification memo
17-30-Hospitals/Critical Access Hospitals/Nursing Homes, last revised 07/06/18, revealed the facilities must
have water management plans and documentation that, at a minimum, ensure each facility: 1. Conducts a
facility risk assessment to identify where Legionella and other opportunistic waterborne pathogens (e.g.
Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Burkholderia, Stenotrophomonas, nontuberculous mycobacteria, and fungi)
could grow and spread in the facility water system; 2. Develops and implements a water management
program that considers the ASHRAE industry standard and the CDC toolkit; and 3. Specifies testing
protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures, and document the results of testing and corrective
actions taken when control limits are not maintained. Testing protocols are at the discretion of the provider.
