Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on record review, policy review and staff interview the facility failed to check all potential new hires
against the State nurse aide registry (NAR) to ensure no employee had a finding entered into the NAR
concerning abuse, neglect, exploitation, mistreatment of residents or misappropriation of their property. This
affected four dietary staff, three housekeeping staff, one life enrichment staff, one transport staff and two
administrative staff whose personnel files were reviewed and had the potential to affect all 42 residents

Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
Review of an undated list of current facility staff provided by the facility revealed four dietary staff, three
housekeeping staff, one life enrichment staff, one transport staff and two administrative staff had been hired
since the last annual recertification survey dated 06/28/18. These 11 staff were identified by the facility as
interacting with residents in the facility. Record review revealed no evidence these employees had been
checked against the NAR.
On 08/20/19 at 2:19 P.M. interview with Administrative Assistant (AA) #200 revealed the AA thought the
nurse aide registry was checked upon hire for new staff.
On 08/20/19 at 3:15 P.M. interview with Business Office Manager (BOM) #200 revealed the facility did
background checks through the Office of Inspector General (OIG) for all employees but had not been
checking unlicensed staff against the NAR.
The facility identified 11 staff hired since the last recertification survey who were still employed and had not
been checked against the NAR: Social Service Designee #202, Dietary Aide #203, Admissions Staff #204,
Dietary Aide #205, Dietary Aide #206, Housekeeper #207, Transportation Staff #208, Dietary Aide #209,
Housekeeper #210, Life Enrichment Staff #211 and Housekeeper #212.
Review of the facility policy titled Freedom from Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation, revised 10/31/16 revealed
the facility conducted pre-employment screening for employees regarding abuse, neglect, mistreating
residents, misappropriation of property and exploitation. The community would not hire anyone with
disciplinary action in effect against a professional license by a state or licensing body.

On 08/22/19 at 10:57 A.M. a telephone interview with Vendor #214 from the respiratory supply company
revealed he changes the oxygen tubing every Friday for residents who have oxygen who are not on
Hospice and who use a concentrator. He revealed he placed a dated sticker on the tubing when he
changed it, up near the connection with the concentrator. The only reason, he reported, there would not be
a sticker was if other staff had changed the tubing and didn't date it.
