they get removed from requisitions due to budget. There were blankets, towels and washcloths approved last week due to the laundry dryer fire and loss of items in the dryer. 7. Interview on 08/12/25 at 12:15 P.M. with Laundry #140 included she was told they did not have enough washcloths and towels. On Monday and Tuesday morning especially there are not enough towels and washcloths. If the stains do not come out of linen they take the linen out of circulation. They tally the linen they take out of production, make a list and requisition more. They have to wash and dry linens and personals. It takes an hour in the washer and a half hour in the dryer. The wash load is split in two and dried half at a time since there was only one functioning dryer. The linen is then folded and brought out to the floor.

She did not know where the washcloths for peri care would come from. The facility identified 43 current incontinent residents. Incontinence care is to be provided every two hours. Incontinence care requires three washcloths at a minimum. Three washcloths times 12 incontinence care a day would require 36 washcloths per incontinent resident. Forty three incontinent resident receiving pericare every two hours would need 36 washcloths for pericare a day. Multiply by 43 residents would equal 1548 needed per day for incontinence care. If the 67 residents Laundry #113 identified as a current census used two wash clothes a day for bathing, face washing, etc. that would be a total of 134 washcloths for bathing for a total 1682 washcloths needed a day. Using the facility formula of three washcloths per resident per day the total would be 1759 washcloths need per day instead of the 201 washcloths the corporation identified as a par level.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, medical record review, dialysis contract review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure ongoing communication with the dialysis center, failed to fulfill the dialysis center contract as agreed upon and failed to ensure dialysis orders were acted upon timely and administered. This affected one resident (#80) of one resident reviewed for dialysis. The census was 68. Findings include: Medical record review revealed Resident #80 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including vertebrae fractures, end stage renal disease, dependence on renal dialysis (hemodialysis), diabetes mellitus, hypocalcemia and depression. Resident #80 was discharged back to the community on 08/18/25. Review of the electronic Physician Orders dated August 2025 revealed Resident #80 was scheduled to have dialysis every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M.

On 08/13/25 at 4:00 P.M., observation revealed Resident #80 was watching television in her room. The resident stated she had gone to dialysis earlier on this day without any problems. Review of the medical record revealed no ongoing communication between the facility and the dialysis treatment center between 08/09/25 and 08/18/25 for Resident #80 when she received hemodialysis. On 08/18/25 at 11:33 A.M., interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing verified there was no facility/dialysis communication for review. Review of the Progress Notes dated 08/08/25 revealed the dialysis center had called the facility and gave new orders as the resident was congested while at dialysis. A written dialysis Progress Note dated 08/08/25 (discovered in Resident #80's discharge paperwork) revealed the dialysis center ordered two new medication including: Calcium acetate (phosphate binder) oral tablet 667 mg two tablets by mouth to be taken with the first bite of each meal. Renvela (phosphate binder) oral tablet 800 (mg) two tablets by mouth to be taken with the first bite of each meal. Review of the medical record revealed the orders for renvela and calcium acetate were not transcribed until 08/12/25. Review of the Pharmacy Packing Slip revealed the renvela 800 (mg) was ordered and delivered to the facility on [DATE] at 11:14 P.M. and Resident #80 received her first dose at the lunch meal on 08/13/25. There was no evidence the pharmacy delivered Resident #80's calcium acetate on 08/12/25, 08/13/25, 08/14/25 or 08/15/25. Review of the Progress Notes dated 08/15/25 revealed the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) spoke with the facility pharmacy regarding the resident's order for calcium acetate. The pharmacist stated they do not provide that medication, the ADON notified the dialysis of the above and that the medication had not been administered to date. The dialysis center stated they would be able to send the medications to the facility. Review of the medical record revealed no evidence the dialysis center sent the medications to the facility as indicated in the facility progress note dated 08/15/25. There was no documented evidence of on-going communication between the facility and the dialysis center between 08/15/25 and 08/18/25 regarding the ordered calcium acetate. Review of the electronic Medication Administration Record dated August 2025 revealed calcium acetate was not administered between 08/08/25 when the order was originally sent to the facility from the dialysis center through discharge on [DATE]. On 08/18/25 at 12:15 P.M., interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the facility did not receive calcium acetate 667 (mg) as ordered by the dialysis center for Resident #80. The DON verified the order was not transcribed when received on 08/08/25 until 08/12/25 and it took three days before follow-up with the facility pharmacy as to why it had not been delivered and no calcium acetate was received from the dialysis center to administer.

Provide enough nursing staff every day to meet the needs of every resident; and have a licensed nurse in charge on each shift.
Based on staff schedule review, payroll-based journal review, facility assessment review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to ensure adequate staffing to meet the needs and staffing as identified in the facility assessment. This had the potential to affect all residents residing within the facility. The census was 68. Findings Include: Review of the Facility Assessment Tool revised 03/24/25 revealed the facility average daily census was 69 to 78 residents. The facility staffing plan was based on the resident population and their varying needs for care and services, the general approach to help the facility gauge sufficient staff to assist in meeting the needs of the residents at any given time involves various factors including: The range of facility staff that may be needed to gauge sufficient qualified staff available to meet each resident's needs may be based on resident AOL acuity, medical complexities, behavioral/psychosocial needs of the residents, and the ebb and flow of day/night routine needs to name a few. This data can be obtained from sources such as the MOS, clinical observations, chart/physician order review, various facility reports, collaboration with other vendors/services such as therapy, behavioral/mental health, and direct care staff input to name a few. The facility may adjust positions and staffing needs as necessary to meet the needs of an aggregate of residents or the overall resident population at any time. Estimated range of licensed nurses providing direct care staff was three to four on day shift and two to three on night shift. Nurse Aides required was five to eight on day shift and four to six on night shift. Other licensed nursing personnel (e.g. those with administrative duties included the DON, ADON and unit manager). Determination of staff assignments can involve many factors such as the number of residents on each hall/unit/community, AOL acuity, medical complexities, specialty community, load of medication/treatment administration, behavioral/psychosocial needs, observations, and staff input. The facility encourages direct care staff to work in one or two areas of the facility for continuity of care and services. Those staff that float throughout the facility tend to desire a change in routine and are more flexible with care and services. Review of staff assignments is an ongoing process as resident conditions change, admissions, discharges, and changes in overall resident population. Changes may occur by shift, day, week or month as the resident population can change very quickly. Review of the second quarter (2025) Payroll-Based Journal revealed the facility had low weekend staffing, did not meet the criteria for registered nurses daily for eight consecutive hours and had a one-star rating for staffing. Review of the Staffing Schedules and Detailed Hour/Time Punch Detail reports dated January 2025 through August 2025 for the below dates revealed the following licensed staffing shift needs were not met: a. No fourth Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) on 02/09/25 between 11:00 P.M. and 3:00 A.M.b. No fourth CNA on 03/08/25 between 7:00 P.M. and 3:00 A.M.c.

the best they can. There is not always a housekeeper on the weekends and rooms do not get cleaned. On 08/12/25 at 6:59 A.M., interview with CNA #112 stated the facility runs short of help frequently and depending on who is working determines if things all get done or not. Management does not come in to help and staff try to do room checks every two hours but sometimes they are late. On 08/12/25 between 9:05 A.M. and 9:24 A.M., interview with Family #204 revealed the facility does not have enough staff to ensure residents are checked frequently. Family #204 stated concerns have been brought to members of the management team and nothing is done. Sometimes call lights are on for 30 minutes without being answered because they are all busy. Rooms are not cleaned and items that need fixed are reported but not fixed timely. Family #204 stated in June 2025 a concern was reported regarding an air conditioner and it was still leaking and had not been fixed. On 08/12/25 at 12:13 P.M., interview with Maintenance Director (MD) #173 revealed the electronic work order system included a 08/05/25 request to hook up a television for Resident #80. MD #173 stated he had been focusing on the fire and did not get to it until 08/11/25 as he was the only maintenance man for the facility. On 08/19/25 at 10:08 A.M., interview with Housekeeping/Laundry Manager #113 revealed on the weekends there was only one housekeeper. The facility was down a person so all the rooms do not get cleaned. On 08/21/25 between 10:29 A.M. and 10:41 A.M., interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) verified the facility assessment staffing range of staff needed to provide adequate care and services for residents residing within the facility included licensed nurses providing direct care three to four on day shift and two to three night shift and the nurse aides (CNA) five to eight (CNA) for day shift and four to six CNA on the night shift for the facility. The DON stated they should never be under the minimum number of staff needed and it was her expectation on-call nursing management staff should come it to cover any part of the shift that was needed. The DON verified the above listed shifts with staffing concerns. On 08/21/25 between 8:32 A.M. and 8:50 A.M. interview with the DON stated the following: the facility currently does not have a nursing waiver. Staffing is based on resident care needs and census. Two of the five halls have higher acuity due to the residents require more assistance e.g. hoyer lifts, feeding, two person assists, etc. If the staffing numbers exceed the needs and census, nursing staff was sent home. The DON stated the minimum staffing for direct care nursing day shift was three nurses and night shift was two nurses for the full 12 hour shift (7a-7p/7p-7a). The minimum CNA's were five on day shift and four on night shift. The DON stated it should 'never' go below the above numbers and if it did, it would be her expectation that management staff or the on-call nursing manager would come in to cover that shift. On 08/21/25 at 1:47 P.M., interview with the Administrator revealed the facility continued to be hiring to fill vacant positions. The Administrator stated the facility did not have a Staffing Policy as they use their budget to determine staffing levels. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2569206.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, manufacturer review, policy review and interview, the facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary kitchen. This had the potential to affect all 68 residents that received food from the kitchen.
Findings include: 1.On 08/11/25 between 8:20 A.M. and 8:45 A.M., initial observation of the kitchen revealed Dietary Aide #111 and Dietary [NAME] #128 were preparing and serving breakfast meals. Dietary [NAME] #128 was observed serving an omelet that was dark brown and overcooked. Dietary [NAME] #128's hairnet did not encase all of her hair in the front and both sides. Dietary [NAME] #128 verified the above and she stated she was new to the position. Observation of the reach-in refrigerator revealed no temperature was displayed on the thermometer.

The reach-in refrigerator contained a gallon of whole milk, 13 glasses of chocolate milk and three additional cafeteria-style trays each containing glasses of apple juice, cranberry juice and fruit punch. The chocolate milk and juice glasses were covered with plastic lids and saran wrap. Water was leaking from the top portion of the reach-in refrigerator onto beverages ready for meal service. The chocolate milk glasses were sitting in water that filled the cafeteria-style trays. A metal serving pan was observed sitting on top of the chocolate milk glasses without any water in it. At the time of the observation, Dietary [NAME] #128 verified the observation and Dietary Aide #111 stated the reach-in refrigerator had been not working correctly for several weeks and had been leaking water. Dietary Aide #111 also verified the thermometer was not working, stated she would let someone know and then positioned the metal serving pan to the back of the shelf stating the pan should catch the leaking water now. Further observations of the kitchen revealed the stove and kitchen hood had heavy grease build-up and dust trendils along the hood, metal piping and fan screening. The dust trendils were long and were observed moving back and forth as the cook was cooking. There was also heavy food debris along the gas pipes, outlets and serving cart beside and behind the stove. The above was verified by Dietary Aide #111 at the time of the observation. On 08/13/25 at 9:25 A.M., interview with Regional Culinary Director #195 verified the stove and kitchen hood grease and dust trendils remained stating it was to be cleaned on today. 2.On 08/11/25 at 12:40 P.M., observation revealed Pest Control Employee (PCE) #197 entered the kitchen without a hat or hairnet. Regional Culinary Director #195 was in the dietary office next to the kitchen entrance doors and was informed of the observation. RCD #195 verified the observation on 08/11/25 at 12:44 P.M. and stated PCE #197 was going to the dry storage room which was on the other side of the kitchen. 3. On 08/14/25 between 7:00 A.M. and 7:52 A.M., observation with Dietary [NAME] #180 of the prep and steam table revealed a red bucket containing water and cloth on the lower shelf of the steam table. Dietary [NAME] #180 tested the quaternary solution in the red bucket and it tested at 150 ppm (parts per million). Observation of the GFS poster labeled Sanitizer Test Procedure that was posted above the prep station revealed the Quaternary should be a 200 ppm test paper reading and test results must be within the range shown. Observation of the dishwash station revealed an 4-plug size electrical box with electrical wires with two sets of red wire nuts/cap remained with one corner resting on the floor under the dishwashing station. There was no cover protecting the electrical wires except for the wire nuts. The above was verified by Dietary [NAME] #180 at the time of the observations and stated maintenance had informed him the electrical wires were no longer in use or connected to electricity. Review of the undated policy: Cleaning Standards revealed food contact surfaces, non-food contact surfaces, equipment, pans and utensils must be kept clean at all times. This includes but not limited to free of grease deposits, food residue, dust and other soil accumulation/debris. Sanitizer buckets to maintain clean equipment and work areas

Upon entering the room, the resident was noted to be hypoxic in recliner, oxygen was started as the resident was sats were high 60%. The crash cart was in room as the resident was a full code. Oxygen brought the resident sats to high 80's. When asked staff stated they were walking her to bathroom when she got weak and unsteady, so they sat her in the recliner and called for help. One nurse had already called 911 and the Administrator called the family to update the family. Family stated the resident was a do not resuscitate (DNR). The ADON went to the computer to pull a signed code status from the hospital records. The squad arrived and was updated on code status and left. Family arrived at same time and was taken to the resident's room. Family at bedside requested to keep resident comfortable but did not want morphine at this time. Stating it was okay with oxycodone to keep her comfortable. Physician aware, new orders obtained for oxycodone, code status updated approx. 11:25 A.M. Administrator stayed in room with family at that time. This DON checked in on resident and family and noticed resident with labored breathing, bilateral feet were starting to mottle. This DON spoke in depth to family about possibly starting morphine to keep resident comfortable and explained reasons why. Family agreeable to start morphine. Unit manager talked to physician for morphine orders around 2:00 P.M. At approximately 2:50 pm the resident was absent from vitals. Family was at beside. Interview on [DATE] at 8:11 A.M., with the DON confirmed there was no documentation evidence in the medical record of the resident change of condition leading up to the resident's death including vital signs, oxygen orders, and signed code status for DNR.

2. Review of Resident #48's medical record revealed a [DATE] admission with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic respiratory failure, Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), diabetes, asthma, hemiplegia, and anxiety disorder. Physician orders included a [DATE] order for Non-invasive home ventilator (Trilogy machine) Settings: AVAPS-AE Breath Rate: Auto Inspiratory time: N/A Sigh: off mouthpiece ventilation: NO PS min-5 comment-20 PS max-20 comment-25 EPAP min-5 EPAP max:15 AVAPS rate: 5 max pressure: 35 VT Target: 500 heated humidifier with mask, a [DATE] order for routine cleaning of trilogy supplies day shift every Sunday, [DATE] order to wipe Trilogy mask in the mornings after removal and change oxygen supplies every night shift on Sunday. Interview on [DATE] at 11:45 A.M. with Resident #48 revealed she has a bipap machine and mask but they are not putting it on her as it is broken. On [DATE] at 2:49 P.M. interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #179 revealed part of the gel came off of the Trilogy mask and they could not get a good seal. Another mask was ordered. Observation at the time of the interview revealed there was an unopened box on the top of the resident's cabinet. LPN #179 looked at the box but did not open it. The outside of the box did not identify what was inside the box. Observation at the time of the interview verified the bipap machine on the bedside table had a mask that was not contained in a bag for sanitation. Interview on [DATE] at 6:01 P.M. with the resident included she wore the Trilogy two nights ago. Last night it beeped and so she did not wear it. She did not wear it for about a month because of the mask not fitting. The Trilogy mask was lying on the bedside table not contained in a bag. Interview on [DATE] at 7:00 P.M. with LPN #108 revealed she ordered the new mask on [DATE] and it was delivered on [DATE]. Interview on [DATE] at 7:02 P.M. with LPN #179 verified the mask was in the unopened box on top of the resident's cabinet she looked at on [DATE]. The box did not identify what was in the box. Review of the Treatment Record revealed the device was marked as applied at night on [DATE], [DATE], [DATE], and [DATE] when the seal on the old mask was broken. This documentation is inaccurate as a new mask was ordered [DATE], was received [DATE] but not opened until [DATE]. Interview on [DATE] at 12:03 P.M. with LPN #179 verified the resident had the Trilogy machine signed off as being applied to the resident when the mask was broken and it would have just beeped because of the bad seal. LPN #179 verified the mask was not applied as indicated on the treatment sheet [DATE], [DATE], [DATE] or 08/10 /25 after the new mask arrived and was not opened for use until [DATE].

3. Medical record review revealed Resident #80 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including end stage renal disease, dependence on dialysis. Review of the dialysis Progress Note dated [DATE] revealed Resident #80 was ordered two new medications including calcium acetate (phosphate binder) 667 milligrams (mg) with the first bite of each meal. The physician order was not transcribed until [DATE]. Review of the electronic Medication Administration Record revealed calcium acetate 667 milligrams (mg) was ordered on [DATE] to be administered with the first bite of the meal. The medication was documented as being unavailable for administration except for three doses on [DATE] and two doses on [DATE]. Review of the record revealed no evidence calcium acetate 667 (mg) was available to be administered while Resident #80 was a resident at the facility. On [DATE] at 12:15 P.M., interview with the Director of Nursing verified the facility did not receive any calcium acetate 667 (mg) as ordered from either the pharmacy or the dialysis center; therefore, Resident #80 did not receive the medication between [DATE] and [DATE]. The DON verified the electronic Medication Administration Record indicated Resident #80 had received three doses of calcium acetate on [DATE] and two doses of calcium acetate on [DATE]; however, the DON verified this was not accurate due to the calcium acetate was never received at the facility. 4. Medical record review revealed Resident #77 was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus. Review of the electronic Physician Orders dated [DATE] revealed to administer lispro insulin per sliding scale intramuscularly (IM) before meals for diabetes. Review of the electronic Medication Administration Record dated [DATE] revealed Resident #77 was administered five doses of lispro insulin IM between [DATE] and [DATE]. Review of the National Institutes of Health: lispro insulin revised [DATE] revealed the insulin was to be administered subcutaneously. On [DATE] at 2:23 P.M., interview with Registered Nurse #193 verified Resident #77's lispro insulin order was inaccurate for the route of administration.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, observation, interviews, and policy reviews the facility failed to ensure enhanced barrier precaution (EBP) were implemented/maintained and infection control practices were maintained during incontinence care. This affected three residents (#1, #32, and #42) of four residents observed on 100-unit for EBP and two residents (#20 and #77) of two residents observed for incontinence care. Findings Include:
Residents Affected - Some
1. Medical record review revealed Resident #32 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including gastrostomy tube. Review of Resident #32' EBP plan of care dated 07/23/25 revealed to use appropriate EPB when performing the following care: dressing, bathing, showering, transferring, hygiene care, changing linen, toileting, and peri care. Dispose of EBP in the appropriate containers. Review of Resident #32 current orders revealed no evidence of orders for EBP. Interview and observation on 08/11/25 at 10:32 A.M., of Resident #32 revealed the resident had a gastrostomy tube. The resident reported staff flush the tube, however they do not wear gowns when providing direct care or flushing the tube. There was no evidence of EBP sign in the room or personal protective equipment (PPE) outside the room. Interview and observation on 08/11/25 at 11:09 A.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #108 confirmed resident #32 should have been on EBP for her gastrostomy tube. The LPN confirmed if a resident was in EBP there should be a sign in the room above the resident bed, a PPE basket hanging outside the room on the wall, and a signed order for resident on EBP. LPN #108 confirmed Resident #32 did not have a sign or a basket outside the room to alert staff that the resident was in EBP or a signed order. 2. Observation and interview on 08/11/25 at 11:11 A.M., with LPN #108 revealed Resident #42 was in EBP because he had a urinary foley catheter. The LPN confirmed there was no evidence of a sign above the residents' bed nor a basket outside the door. LPN #108 reported the sign was hung above the roommate's bed in error instead of Resident #42's bed and the basket had broken and she had requested a new basket. 3. Medical record review revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including osteomyelitis, diabetes, bacteremia, and skin alterations. Review of Resident #1's EPB plan of care dated 06/26/25 and revised 08/12/25 revealed to dispose of EBP in the appropriate container, do not use EBP outside resident rooms such as hallways, common areas, and dining rooms, use appropriate EPB when performing the following care: dressing, bathing, showering, transferring, hygiene care, changing linen, toileting, and peri care. Treatment for wounds and utilize proper hand hygiene. Observation on 08/11/25 at 11:10 A.M., with LPN #108 revealed two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA's) were providing care to Resident #1 with no PPE in place. Dirty linens were noted on the floor not in a bag. The two CNAs reported to LPN #108 they didn't think they were required to wear PPE since they were not providing wound care. LPN #108 provided education to the CNAs.

Interview on 08/11/25 at 11:22 A.M., with LPN/infection preventionist (IP) #179 confirmed resident with EBP should have a sign above the bed, orders, and a basket outside the room with PPE equipment. Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) dated 04/2018 and revised 01/2025 revealed EBP are indicated for residents with any of the following: Infections or colonization with a CDC-targeted MDRO when contact precautions do not otherwise apply or wound and indwelling medical devices even if the resident is not known to be infected or colonized with MDRO. Indwelling medical device examples include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheostomies. For residents who EBP are indicated, EBP is employed when performing the following high-contact resident care activities: dressing, bathing/showering, transferring, hygiene care, changing linens, changing briefs or assisting with toileting, device care, and/or wound care. The gown and gloves used for each resident during high-contact resident care activities should be removed and discarded after each resident care encounter and hand hygiene should be performed. An EBP isolation sign would be placed near the resident's room identifying the PPE required during high contact care activities. 4. Observation on 08/19/25 at 2:00 P.M., of incontinence care with CNA's #100 and #132 for Resident #20 revealed staff had already had the supplies ready and the resident positioned for incontinence care. Staff explained procedure to the residents. The two CNAs unfastened the resident's brief and rolled the brief down between her legs. CNA #100 placed soap on a washcloth and wiped down the middle of labia and then changed positions on the washcloth and then wiped the right outer thigh crease and then the left outer thigh crease. She repeated the procedure for the rinse and dry. The CNA confirmed she did not cleanse the right and left side of the inner labia. CNA #100 reported she was not trained to spread the labia apart and wash both sides of the labia just to cleanse down the center. Review of the skills checklist undated for perineal care revealed to use a soapy washcloth to wash the front perineum to include the genital and skin fold areas of the groin. There were no instructions on how to cleanse the perineal area. Review of the incontinence care policy 04/18 and revised 01/06/25 revealed to clean area with perineal wash or with mild cleanser and pat dry. There were no instructions on how to cleanse the perineal area. Interview on 08/19/25 at 3:11 AM with the LPN/IP #179 reported the perineal care skilled checklist did not include detail instruction on how to cleanse the perineum area. Interview on 08/20/25 at7:22 A.M. with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the policy and competency did not include specific instructions on how to cleanse the perineal area. The DON reported her expectation would be the labia should have been cleansed in the middle and then the labia should have been spread apart and cleansed right and then left. 5. Medical record review revealed Resident #77 had multiple admissions to the facility and was most recently admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including peripheral arterial disease, diabetes mellitus, bilateral below the knee amputations (BKA) and multiple wounds. Review of the census revealed the resident was discharged to the hospital on [DATE] with a diagnosis of encephalopathy and returned to the facility on [DATE].

multiple wounds including a Stage III pressure ulcer to the coccyx present on admission measuring 3.5 (cm) in (l) by 4.9 (cm) in (w) by 0.2 (cm) in depth (d). The wound bed was 100% granulation with scant serous drainage. Education was provided on the importance of offloading to promote wound healing and maintaining proper hygiene to support wound healing including to keep the wound site clean and dry, avoiding contamination and the importance of adhering to prescribed treatments and dressing changes to prevent infection was emphasized. On 08/19/25 between 4:15 P.M. and 5:01 P.M., observation of incontinence care revealed licensed practical nurse (LPN) #131 and certified nursing aide (CNA) #107 were observed washing their hands and applied gloves. CNA #107 gathered incontinence supplies, positioned the resident in bed and removed the tape from the incontinence brief. The resident was observed to have been incontinent of urine and CNA #107 washed the resident's penis, groin and up under the scrotum. LPN #131 and CNA #107 rolled the resident onto his left side exposing the buttock and coccyx. An unstageable pressure ulcer irregular in shape was observed to be 75% covered with slough with scant drainage. CNA #107 proceeded to cleanse the groin under the scrotum, and wiped across the rectum and over the lower aspect of the Stage III pressure ulcer. CNA #107 then using the same gloved hands grasped a clean wash cloth and rinsed the resident in the same order. CNA #107 and LPN #131 rolled the resident over onto his right side and LPN #131 using the same gloved hands placed her thumb on various areas of the peri-wound and wound center then applied triad cream around the wound perimeter but not the wound bed. The resident was then repositioned on his back, incontinence brief applied and head of bed raised to 30 degrees. LPN #131 removed her gloves, washed her hands and stated she was going to notify the physician of the wound due to a change in the appearance of the wound. CNA #107 changed the linens on the resident's bed and then removed her gloves and washed her hands. CNA #107 verified the above observation on 08/19/25 at 4:45 P.M. and LPN #131 verified the above observation on 08/19/25 at 5:01 P.M. and stated she had messaged the physician and was awaiting a response. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2583878, 2588814, 2569206.

Implement a program that monitors antibiotic use.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on medical record review, review of infection control log, interview, and policy review the facility failed to ensure residents met criteria for antibiotic treatment. This affected two residents (#1 and #83) of four residents reviewed for antibiotic stewardship. Findings Include: 1. Closed medical record review revealed Resident #83 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including sepsis of unspecific organism, metabolic encephalopathy, diabetes, respiratory failure, heart disease, and pressure ulcer. Review of Resident #83's orders revealed on 06/01/25 the resident was ordered Cefdinir 300 milligrams (mg) by mouth twice daily for wound infection. On 06/03/25 the order was changed to Cefdinir 300mg by mouth twice daily for sepsis, likely respiratory until 06/05/25. Review of Resident #83's Medication Administration Record (MAR) dated 06/20/25 revealed Resident #82 received Cefdinir 300 mg from 06/01/25 to 06/03/25 for wound infection and from 06/03/25 to 06/05/25 for sepsis, likely respiratory. Review of the infection control log dated 06/2025 revealed Resident #83 was marked under other for infection, the organism was sepsis, the onset was 06/01/25, the resident received Cefdinir and not applicable was marked for the antibiotic stewardship. Review of Resident #83's McGeer criteria form dated 06/01/25 revealed a line was marked out across the page and a handwritten note indicating there was no criteria for sepsis. Review of Resident #83's hospital record dated 06/01/25 revealed sepsis unclear. Chest x-ray and urine negative for infection, COVID, influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) negative. Blood cultures 05/27/25 possible contaminated, MRI/CT spine showed no infection. Cefdinir for five days on discharge. Interview on 08/14/25 at 8:57 A.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/Infection Preventionist (IP) #179 and Regional Corporate Nurse (RCN) #193 confirmed Resident #83 did not meet criteria of antibiotic treatment. The LPN/IP #179 confirmed there was no documented evidence why the resident needed antibiotic treatment. 2. Medical record review revealed Resident #1 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including osteomyelitis, diabetes, UTI, heart failure, bacteremia, and hemiplegia. Review of Resident #1's orders dated 07/07/25 revealed orders for Metronidazole 500 mg one every eight hours for osteomyelitis for 18 days and Vancomycin 1750 mg intravenously in the evening for wound infection for 18 days. Review of Resident #1's MAR dated 07/2025 revealed Resident #1 received Metronidazole 500 mg one every eight hours for osteomyelitis for 18 days and Vancomycin 1750 mg intravenously in the evening for wound infection for 18 days. Review of the infection control log dated 07/2025 revealed Resident #1 received Metronidazole and Vancomycin for a joint infection (osteo) and N/A was marked if the McGeer criteria was met. Interview on 08/14/25 at 8:57 A.M., with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)/Infection Preventionist (IP) #179 and Regional Corporate Nurse (RCN) #193 confirmed Resident #1 was marked N/A if he met criteria and both antibiotics on the infection control log. The IP reported osteomyelitis was not one of the criteria she checks to ensure antibiotics were appropriate due to it not being on the form the facility was utilizing. Review of the facility McGeer criteria form undated revealed only areas on the form were urinary tract infections (UTI), respiratory, skin and soft tissue, and gastroenteritis to ensure residents met criteria for antibiotic treatment. Review of June's 2025 infection control log revealed there were ten residents marked N/A and four no for the McGeer criteria that received antibiotics. Review of the July 2025 infection control log revealed there were seven residents marked N/A, one blank, and one no for the McGeer's criteria that received antibiotics. Review of the August 2025 infection control log dated 08/01/25 to 08/06/25 revealed there were two residents marked no for the McGeer's criteria that received antibiotics for skin and UTI. Interview on 08/14/25 at 10:15 A.M., with RCN #183 confirmed the facility antibiotic stewardship program only had the McGeer Criteria for urinary tract

infections (UTI), respiratory, skin and soft tissue, and gastroenteritis. If the infection doesn't fall under those categories, the facility document as not applicable (N/A) on the log, and the IP doesn't ensure the resident meets criteria for treatment per the CDC guidelines and facility's policy. The RCN #183 confirmed the CDC had criteria for osteomyelitis; however, osteomyelitis was not on the facility's criteria worksheet therefore the IP would just mark N/A on the infection control log if the resident met criteria for McGeer's. Review of the CDC criteria for antibiotic treatment dated 01/2025 revealed osteomyelitis must meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. Patient has organism(s) identified from bone by culture or non-culture based microbiological testing method which is performed for purposes of clinical diagnosis and treatment, for example, not Active Surveillance Culture/Testing (ASC/AST). 2. Patient has evidence of osteomyelitis on gross anatomic or histopathologic exam. 3. Patient has at least two of the following localized signs or symptoms: fever (>38.0 C), swelling*, pain or tenderness*, heat*, or drainage* And at least one of the following: a. organism(s) identified from blood by culture or non-culture based microbiologic testing method which is performed for purposes of clinical diagnosis and treatment, for example, not Active Surveillance Culture/Testing (ASC/AST). AND imaging test evidence definitive for infection (for example, x-ray, CT scan, MRI, radiolabel scan [gallium, technetium, etc.]), which if equivocal is supported by clinical correlation, specifically, physician or physician designee documentation of antimicrobial treatment for osteomyelitis. b. imaging test evidence definitive for infection (for example, x-ray, CT scan, MRI, radiolabel scan [gallium, technetium, etc.]), which if equivalent. Review of the antibiotic stewardship policy dated 12/23 and updated 05/25 revealed the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) had reported that antibiotic resistance was one of the major threats to human health, especially because some bacteria have developed resistance to all known classes of antibiotics. According to CDC, improving the use of antibiotics in healthcare to protect patients and reduce the threat of antibiotics resistance is a national priority. Disease caused by these bacteria are increasing in long-term care facilities and contributing to higher rates of morbidity and mortality. This policy is aligned with the CDC Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship for Nursing Homes. The antibiotic stewardship team would review infections and monitor antibiotics usage patterns on a quarterly basis.
