In addition, the facility failed to have an appropriate Legionella water management program in place. This had the potential to affect all 47 residents of the facility. The facility census was 47.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include: 1. Observation on 10/21/24 at 2:41 P.M. revealed State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) #437 carried two large stacks of linens, with one stack of linens in each arm and pressed against the top half of her body. STNA #437 walked through the locked double doors of the unit and to the linen closet. STNA #437 pressed the linens against the door and her body while entering the code to unlock the doors. Interview on 10/21/24 at 2:44 P.M. with STNA #437 verified she transported the clean linens uncovered and pressed against her body and the door. Observation on 10/22/24 at 1:49 P.M. of the laundry room washing machine area revealed no gowns were observed. Interview on 10/22/24 at 1:50 P.M. with Laundry Aide (LA) #489 verified gloves were worn when handling soiled linens but gowns were not worn to prevent possible cross-contamination. 2. Review of the facility's undated Legionella Risk Assessment revealed three of the fist four questions were answered Yes. Interview on 10/23/24 at approximately 3:15 P.M. with the Administrator revealed answering Yes to any of the first four questions on the facility's Legionella Risk Assessment indicated the facility was at high risk for Legionella. While the Administrator was identified as part of the water management team, he was uncertain of elements of the plan and referred the surveyor to Director of Environmental Services (DES) #508 for additional information related to the facility's Legionella plan. Interview on 10/23/24 at 4:32 P.M. with DES #508 revealed he was responsible for the facility's Legionella prevention plan. DES #508 stated he was not very familiar with Legionella and was not certain of the monitoring requirements. DES #508 stated an external company recently conducted a cooling tower water treatment report, temperatures of faucets and hot water heaters. DES #508 was unable to articulate control measures implemented on a routine basis, stated there was no regular monitoring of facility water temperatures and the faucets in empty rooms were not flushed to ensure no Legionella growth. Review of the facility policy titled Legionnaires Policy, dated 09/07/17, revealed the facility will identify and assess potential sources of Legionella bacteria, determine the correct operation of water systems and will ensure that necessary maintenance/monitoring is carried out by competent personnel. Additionally, the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) Committee will review the water management program elements annually and as needed, to include deciding where control measures should be applied and how to monitor them.

Review of the immunization record revealed no evidence Resident #30 had been offered or received pneumococcal vaccination. Review of the vaccination consent form revealed Resident #30's resident representative consented to the influenza and COVID-19 vaccine; however, the pneumococcal vaccination was blank. The vaccination signature read emailed consent. Review of an electronic mail (e-mail) dated 10/02/24 revealed the facility e-mailed Resident #30's representative to inquire about the seasonal flu and the latest COVID-19 vaccines. There was no mention of the pneumococcal vaccine.

Review of the facility policy titled Influenza and Pneumococcal Immunization, revised 06/19/19, verified each resident, upon admission, will be offered the pneumococcal immunization. The resident or their legal representative will receive education regarding the benefits and potential side effects of the immunization prior to administration. The resident or their representatives have the right to refuse the immunization. Review of the CDC guidance titled Pneumococcal Vaccination: Summary of Who and When to Vaccinate, reviewed 09/17/24 and located at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/pneumo/hcp/who-when-to-vaccinate.html, revealed the CDC recommended pneumococcal vaccination for all adults over 65. For adults over 65 who had not previously received any pneumococcal vaccine, the CDC recommended to administer PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21. If PCV15 is used, administer a dose of PPSV23 one year later, if needed. If PCV20 or PCV21 is used a dose of PPSV23 is not indicated.
