or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, staff interview, review of the facility's water management program, review of the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidance and review of facility policy, the facility failed to meet the
requirements for a Legionella water management program. This had the potential to affect all residents.

affected one resident (#18) for administration of insulin. The facility census was 65.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
1. Interview on 02/27/25 at 9:15 A.M. with Maintenance Director (MD) #486 revealed the facility had eye
wash stations and a whirlpool. MD #486 verified the eye wash stations and whirlpool were not flushed to
prevent the buildup of bacteria.
A follow-up interview on 02/27/25 at 9:30 A.M. with MD #486 verified the facility did not have a risk
assessment or flow chart/diagram describing the water systems and offered the blueprint of the building.
MD #486 also verified chlorination levels were only tested on ce a week in the facility.
Interview on 02/27/25 at 11:53 A.M. with the Administrator confirmed the facility did not meet the
requirements for the legionella prevention water management system.
Review of the Legionella Prevention Weekly Free Chlorine Log, dated 1/23/23 to 2/24/25, verified
chlorination levels were only tested in one room once per week.
Review of the Water Plan Operating Report, dated 01/01/24 to 01/31/25, revealed the plant tap/entry point
chlorination levels were to be tested daily.
Review of the facility policy titled, Legionella Environmental, dated 03/09/20, revealed chlorination levels
were checked daily, both in the treatment plant and inside the facility, to ensure disinfection tolerances. In
addition, chlorination levels at the furthest point of use were monitored on a weekly basis to ensure residual
chlorination was adequate to prevent Legionella growth.
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 was a multi-step process that required continuous review.
Further review revealed the seven key elements of a Legionella water management program were to:
•
Establish a water management program team
•
Describe the building water systems using text and flow diagrams
•
