Based on staff interview, review of facility policies, and review of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance, the facility failed to have an appropriate Legionella water management program in place. This had the potential to affect all 38 residents in the facility. The census was 38.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include: Review of the facility's undated, Legionella Water Management for Legionella Risk Reduction, policy revealed the facility would do the following: • Implement a water management program that included control measures such as physical controls, temperature management, disinfectant level control, visual inspections, and environmental testing for pathogens. • Specify testing protocols and acceptable ranges for control measures and document the results of testing and corrective actions taken when control limits are not maintained. Interview on 6/22/23 at approximately 10:50 A.M. with Environmental Director #463 admitted he was unaware what the requirements were for the water management program and verified he had yet to do anything regarding water testing, flushing of empty rooms due to stagnant water, and did not have a risk assessment, did not complete a map/flow diagram of the facility and confirmed the only documentation for Legionella was the policy provided. The facility did not have additional documentation pertaining to Legionella besides the policies. Review of the facility's policy titled, Legionnaires Policy, effective date 09/06/17, revealed all relevant procedures and recordings related to the program will be kept, maintained, and reviewed as necessary. Review of the undated CDC guidance titled, Overview of Water Management Programs, 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. Developing and maintaining a water management program is a multi-step process that requires continuous review. Seven key elements of a Legionella water management program are to: • Establish a water management program team • Describe the building water systems using text and flow diagrams •
