F 0700 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. Based on observation, clinical record review, and resident and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to assess the resident for the need for side rails and risk of side rail entrapment for one of three residents reviewed (Resident 28). Findings include: Observation and interview on November 1, 2023, at 11:05 AM revealed Resident 28 had enabler bars (side rails) on both sides of the bed. Resident 28 indicated that he uses the bars to move in bed and help him get out of bed. A safety risk evaluation dated May 12, 2023, revealed the facility assessed Resident 28 as not needing side rails. There was no documented evidence in Resident 28's clinical record to indicate that the facility assessed the resident as having the need for side rails and assessed for entrapment risks. Interview with Employee 3, registered nurse consultant, on November 3, 2023, at 8:30 AM confirmed the above findings for Resident 28 and indicated that the staff completing the assessment did not realize that enabler bars were side rails. 28 Pa.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on review of facility documentation, clinical record review, observation, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to implement measures to prevent the potential spread of infections for one of five residents reviewed for infections (Resident 7) and the main laundry unit of the facility. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: Review of an annual MDS (minimum data set, an assessment tool design to direct the plan of care) for Resident 7 dated August 16, 2023, revealed that the resident was always incontinent (loss of bladder control) of urine. Review of a report of a urine culture for Resident 7 dated August 27, 2023, indicated the resident had under 100,000 colonies/milliliter Escherichia coli ESBL (extended spectrum beta lactamase, chemicals produced due to certain type of bacteria, a person infected with ESBL can be a carrier and spread the bacteria to others, which is difficult to treat with antibiotics) producing organism. The report indicated the person may require isolation (special precautions to prevent the spread of infection) and directed the facility to contact infectious disease service. Clinical record review for Resident 7 revealed no evidence in the physician orders, progress notes, MAR (medication administration record), or TAR (treatment administration record) that the resident was placed on isolation/contact precautions, or the facility contacted infectious disease services. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on November 1, 2023, the surveyor reviewed the findings for Resident 7 and the facility indicated that the physician did not order isolation precautions. A follow up interview with Employee 3, registered nurse consultant, on November 2, 2023, at 10:30 AM confirmed that Resident 7 should have been on isolation precautions. Observation on November 1, 2023, at 11:20 AM of the soiled linen room where the facility's dirty laundry is received in the basement by a laundry chute revealed mopheads and towels were on the floor unbagged. Concurrent interview with Employee 10, laundry aide, revealed sometimes the bags break open in the laundry chute. Other clothing items and linen were bagged appropriately and on the floor below the laundry chute. Employee 10 was sorting dirty laundry while wearing disposable gloves. The dirty laundry touched Employee's 10 sweatshirt. The surveyor questioned Employee 10 if gowns were available to prevent cross contamination. The surveyor observed and talked with Employee 10 on Unit 3 earlier that day. Employee 10 acknowledged that she also works on the units and said that she is new to the facility and doesn't know about gowns. Concurrent, observation in the hallway outside of the laundry room in the basement revealed a wheelchair washer. Next to the wheelchair washer were cardboard boxes of resident gowns and sheets that were overflowing onto the floor. A blanket, sheets, and towel were on the floor near the wheelchair washer. Interview with Employee 11, laundry aide, revealed that these linens are rags used to dry the wheelchairs, which is managed by another department. The observations in the dirty linen room and wheelchair washer were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on November 1, 2023, at 2:50 PM. 395616 Page 16 of 17 395616 11/03/2023 Lock Haven Rehabilitation and Senior Living 22 Cree Drive Lock Haven, PA 17745
