F 0550 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and to exercise his or her rights. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of clinical records, observation, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to provide care in a manner respectful of each resident's dignity for one resident (Resident 1), and failed to provide care in a manner and environment that promotes each resident's quality of life by failing to respond timely to residents' request for assistance as reported by two residents out of 11 sampled (Residents 12 and 11). Findings include: A review of Resident 1's clinical record revealed he was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which have included malignant neoplasm of the prostate, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, COVID-19, bronchopneumonia, and clostridium difficile [C-diff] (a bacterium infection that causes an infection of the colon). A review of a nurses progress note dated February 11, 2024, at 1:19 AM, revealed that the resident was positive for C - diff, and was placed on contact precautions, and began treatment, Vancomycin (antibiotic). Observation on February 22, 2024, at approximately 11:20 AM, revealed that a metal apron on the wall outside the resident's room, 101, containing personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies. Continued observation revealed 2 paper signs taped on the door to the resident's room. The first sign noted C-Difficile requires special care with pink highlighted words, handwashing only and a line drawn to the information stating that the C-diff spores are not killed by alcohol - based hand sanitizer. The second sign read Contact precautions. A second observation on February 22, 2024, at approximately 12:40 PM, that the above noted two signs remained posted on the door to the resident's room. Interview with alert and oriented Resident 1 on February 22, 2024, at approximately 1:50 PM, revealed that the resident was aware of his diagnosis of c-diff, treatments, and safety precautions, but verified that he would not like that information shared with others as noted on the signs on the door to his room. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), on February 22, 2024, at approximately 2:10 PM, confirmed that signs identifying a individual medical condition, or resident care needs, should not have been placed on the resident's door, visible to others.

F 0610 Respond appropriately to all alleged violations. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on a review of clinical records, select facility incident reports, and the facility's abuse prohibition policy and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to thoroughly investigate injuries of unknown origin to rule out abuse, neglect, or mistreatment as a potential cause of the injury sustained by one resident out of 18 sampled (Resident 19). Residents Affected - Few Findings included: A review of the facility's policy, entitled Investigation of Abuse last reviewed by the facility March 16, 2023, indicated that a complete investigation will be conducted. In case of injury of unknown origin, the facility will try to determine the source of the injury and rule out neglect or abuse. When investigating injuries of unknown origin the facility will interview staff and anyone coming in contact with the resident over the course of 24 hours prior to the noted injury. The investigation will include the signed statements of these contact people. Additionally, the facility will identify anyone who provided services to the resident during this 24 hour period and document the specific services provided and any unusual event occurring during the delivery of service. A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 19 had diagnoses. which included Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. An annual Minimum Data Set assessment (MDS-standardized assessment completed at specific intervals to identify specific resident care needs) dated September 8, 2023, indicated that the resident was severely cognitively impaired, non-ambulatory, and required the assistance of two staff for bed mobility and transfers. A late entry nurses note dated October 9, 2023, at 8:03 AM indicated that nursing observed Resident 19's left lower extremity to present +2 edema and warmth. The resident did not express signs or symptoms of pain when edema was assessed. The physician assistant was made aware. Staff were to monitor the resident's left lower extremity and the physician assistant planned to see the resident on October 10, 2023; staff were to call with any changes. A physician order dated October 10, 2023, was noted to obtain a venous doppler to the left lower extremity for left lower extremity edema, redness, warmth, and pain. A nurses note dated October 10, 2023, at 2:04 PM indicated that the doppler study was completed and the results were negative for DVT (deep vein thrombosis- blood clot in a deep vein) of the resident's left lower extremity. A late entry nurses note dated October 12, 2023, at 9:00 AM revealed that swelling was observed to the resident's left lower extremity with no improvement with elevation. Nursing contacted the physician and an order was received to obtain an Xray of the left lower extremity and a CBC (complete blood count). The resident's representative made aware. A nurses note dated October 13, 2023, at 9:02 AM revealed that the facility received the Xray results which indicated that the resident had acute fractures of distal left tibia (shin bone) and fibula (calf bone).

F 0610 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few A nurses note dated October 13, 2023, at 10:39 PM indicated that the resident returned from the emergency room. The emergency room reported that orthopedics saw the resident and returned the bone to its appropriate place and applied a splint. The resident will need to follow-up with ortho as outpatient according to the discharge instructions. Review of a facility investigation summary report dated October 12, 2023, indicated that swelling of the resident's extremity was observed on October 10, 2023, in the morning and the provider was notified. A doppler was ordered, and resident was seen by the medical provider on October 10, 2023. On October 12, 2023, the resident's leg was still swollen with no improvement, the medical provider was contacted, and Xray of the left lower extremity was ordered. Xray results were positive for tibia/fibula fracture. Medical provider was made aware and orders for urgent ortho consult. The resident was not able to provide details related to the incident. Review of the facility's summary and outcome of investigative findings revealed that staff witness statements did not recall/indicate any potential mechanism or means of injury. The resident was noted to be at increased risk for bone related injuries due to medical history including osteoporosis with contractures and vitamin D deficiency. Possible mechanism of injury was noted to be not limited to transfers via Hoyer lift to/from bed to chair, repositioning, and transport of resident in chair. Mandatory nursing education sessions were to be scheduled for proper lift use and transfer/positioning of residents with contractures. However, further review of the facility investigation and provided witness statements, failed to provide documented evidence that the facility interviewed all staff and anyone coming in contact with the resident over the course of 24 hours prior to when the signs of injury (edema and warmth) were first noted on October 9, 2023. There was no documented evidence that all staff who provided care and services to the resident during that time period were identified and that the specific services provided to the resident were identified and documented, including any unusual event which occurred during the delivery of services prior to the fracture. Interview with the administrator and director of nursing on January 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM confirmed that Resident 19 was non-ambulatory and totally dependent on staff for care. The NHA and DON confirmed that the facility was unable to provide a completed thorough investigation to rule out abuse, neglect, or mistreatment as a potential cause of Resident 19's injury of unknown origin, fractured lower leg. 28 Pa Code 201.29 (a)(c) Resident rights 28 Pa.

Findings include: Review of clinical record of Resident 25 revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses including anxiety and depression. A review of Resident 25's Quarterly Minimum Data Set Assessment (MDS - a federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care) dated September 28, 2023, revealed that the resident was cognitively intact. Further review of Resident 25's clinical record revealed that the resident exhibited multiple behaviors, including exit seeking and eloping from facility. Resident 25 was noted to display exit seeking behaviors almost daily, throughout the month of September 2023 through end of the survey January 11, 2024, according to a review of nursing progress notes. Review of Resident 25's care plan, initiated by the facility on January 21, 2023, indicated that the resident has a behavioral problem regarding exit seeking/ elopement risk . However, the resident's care plan did not address the resident's specific behavioral health needs or the specific behavioral symptoms that were noted in the nursing documentation. According to nursing progress notes and the plan of care, the resident's exit seeking increases when family visits or routine changes. However, the care plan failed to include approaches developed to address this triggering factor. Review of a Psychological evaluation dated October 17, 2023, indicated that Resident 25 continued to express the desire to return home and recommended that Resident 25 would benefit from continued psychological services every 6 months.

Further review of the resident's clinical record revealed that staff did not document the specific interventions attempted to address the above noted resident behaviors along with the effectiveness of any interventions employed to reduce, manage or modify the resident's dementia related behavioral symptoms. The resident's current care plan, included a problem/need of the potential for complications with cognition related to dementia. This problem area was not initiated until January 3, 2024, despite the resident's admission diagnosis in January 2023, and tracking of behavioral symptoms from May 2023 through December 2023, noting multiple behavioral symptoms.

F 0757 Ensure each resident’s drug regimen must be free from unnecessary drugs. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on a review of clinical records and staff interviews it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that one resident's drug regimen was free of unnecessary antibiotic drugs for one out of 18 residents sampled (Resident 64). Residents Affected - Few Findings included: A review of the clinical record revealed that Resident 64 was admitted into the facility on February 24, 2023, and has diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, dementia and chronic kidney failure. A review of nursing progress notes dated January 3, 2024, at 2:30 PM revealed that the resident was observed to have light hematuria (blood in urine) with a foul smell. The resident was unable to verbalize discomfort due to cognitive impairment. A physician order dated January 3, 2024, was noted to obtain a urine analysis and culture and sensitivity (microscopic study of the urine culture performed to determine the presence of pathogenic bacteria in patients with suspected urinary tract infection [UTI]). A review of a laboratory report for a urinalysis dated January 3, 2024, revealed that the results were abnormal with blood, protein, nitrates and bacteria in the sample. A review of laboratory test results dated January 4, 2024, at 12:26 PM, revealed multiple flora suggesting contamination of the sample or colonization. The report noted that clinical correlation was needed and to consider repeat testing if symptoms worsen. A review of McGeer's Criteria, used by the facility as part of antibiotic stewardship, dated January 4, 2024, indicated that the resident had a single symptom of fever and leukocytosis (higher than normal level of white blood cells in the blood) and no other symptoms of a UTI and the UTI criteria was not met to treat for a UTI. A physician order dated January 4, 2024, at 7:13 PM was note for Keflex (antibiotic medication) 500 milligrams (mg) by mouth four times daily for UTI, although the urine culture and sensitivity report was inconclusive. A review of the resident's medication administration record for the month of January 2024, revealed that the resident received 24 doses of Keflex, with the last dose received on January 10, 2024. There was no corresponding physician documentation to indicate the clinical necessity of initiating antibiotic treatment with Keflex to treat the resident's suspected urinary tract infection prior to receiving accurate results of a repeat culture and sensitivity test. At the time of the survey ending January 11, 2024, there was no evidence that a repeat urinalysis was completed. Interview with the Infection Preventionist on January 10, 2024, at 9:45 AM, confirmed that the administration of Keflex was not clinically justified for treatment of Resident 64's urinary tract infection.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some Implement gradual dose reductions(GDR) and non-pharmacological interventions, unless contraindicated, prior to initiating or instead of continuing psychotropic medication; and PRN orders for psychotropic medications are only used when the medication is necessary and PRN use is limited. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that a resident was free from unnecessary psychoactive medications by failing to attempt a gradual dose reduction, failing to ensure the presence of documented clinical rationale for the continued use of psychotropic medication and failing to monitor for potential adverse consequences of psychoactive drug use for two residents of 18 residents reviewed. (Resident 57 and 51) Findings include: A review of Resident 57's, clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses to include vascular dementia with behavioral disturbances (a condition characterized by progressive or persistent loss of intellectual functioning, especially with impairment of memory and abstract thinking, and often with personality change). The resident was transferred to the hospital on May 8, 2023, for a change in mental status and returned to the facility on May 16, 2023, after being treated for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (difficultly breathing causing a lack of oxygen in the blood) and a urinary tract infection. Review of Resident 57's clinical revealed a physician's order dated May 16, 2023, for Seroquel (an antipsychotic medication) 25 mg by mouth at bedtime for altered mental status. A review of the resident's clinical record revealed no documented evidence that the facility had been monitoring the resident for potential adverse side effects for the newly prescribed antipsychotic medication. A review of a Pharmacy Consultation Report dated May 17, 2023, indicated the resident had an acute illness and an antipsychotic was initiated due to worsening behavioral symptoms. The report noted that if acute illness has resolved, and behaviors have subsided, consider a gradual taper to discontinuation (of the antipsychotic drug). A review of the facility's CRNP (certified registered nurse practitioner) response to the recommendation revealed that the CRNP solely noted that the resident is stable. The CRNP or prescribing physician failed to document the resident specific clinical rationale for continuing the newly prescribed antipsychotic. A review of the resident's clinical record revealed revealed one incident documented of the resident record that she had a behavior of yelling out on October 3, 2023. There was no documentation of any attempted non-pharmacological interventions to address the resident's behavior on that occasion. A nursing note dated November 12, 2023, at 2:23 AM revealed that the resident continued to ring her call bell all evening and night. She rang the bell, to make sure her bell worked, have her blanket put over her feet, and because she thinks she has already slept for 12 hours.

F 0758 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some A review of behavior tracking dated November 2023, revealed from November 1, 2023 through November 17, 2023, the resident only had two incidents of yelling out. There was no documentation of any attempted non-pharmacological interventions to address the resident's behavior on those occassions. A physician orders dated November 18, 2023, was noted to increase the resident's dosage of Seroquel, to Seroquel 12.5 mg in the morning for paranoid behaviors in addition to the 25 mg she was already receiving at night. A review of the resident's clinical record revealed no documentation of paranoid behaviors. Interview with the acting Nursing Home Administrator on January 11, 2024, at approximately 1:40 PM confirmed that nursing staff failed to record adequate monitoring of potential side effects and confirmed the absence of physician documentation of the clinical necessity for the resident's antipsychotic drug use and dose increase. A review of the Resident 51's clinical record revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses which included late onset Alzheimer's Disease (a brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks) and anxiety. Current physician orders were noted for Risperidone (antipsychotic medication) 0.25 mg (milligram) one tablet by mouth daily at 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and Risperidone 0.5 mg one tablet daily at 8:00 PM related to dementia with other behavioral disturbances. Pharmacy consultations dated February 2023, July 2023, and October 2023, revealed that the pharmacist recommended a gradual dose reduction (GDR) of the physician prescribed medication Risperidone. The pharmacist identified that the resident had been receiving Risperidone since September 16, 2021, for expressions or indications of distress related to dementia, and a dose reduction was never attempted. The response documentation provided to pharmacy solely noted that the resident is stable and failed to include resident specific clinical rationale for declination of a dose reduction attempt. The Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) response documented noted that the resident's power of attorney (POA) was not in agreement with a reduction. However, failed to include prescriber clinical justification for the continued use of the antipsychotic medication and its benefit to the resident and how it maintained or improved the resident's functional abilities. A review of a pharmacy consultation dated March 2023, revealed that the pharmacist identified that there was no documentation of specific target behaviors being treated requiring treatment with the antipsychotic drug or individualized behavioral interventions attempted to alleviate and behavioral symptoms in the resident's medical record. Recommendations to update the person-centered care plan and medical record to include specific target behaviors and the frequency and impact of the behaviors. The pharmacist identified that the diagnosis alone is insufficient to justify the use of an antipsychotic medication. The resident's clinical record lacked documented clinical rationale from the resident's attending physician for administering antipsychotic drug, based upon an assessment of the resident's current condition and therapeutic goals and consistent with manufacturer's recommendations and clinical (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 395824 If continuation sheet Page 23 of 31 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 395824 B.

F 0758 practice guidelines and clinical standards of practice Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of a psychiatric consultation report dated August 7, 2023, at 9:45 AM, revealed that the resident was seen on that day for a psychiatric evaluation, to evaluate mental status and adjust medications for behavioral disturbance. The consult report noted that her mood has been stable, and she has not had any distressing behavior. Appeared to be more frail than prior the resident was hospitalized the month prior for a stroke. Her mood was calm and content and was cooperative with the staff. The report noted that the resident has been stable with no recent behavioral abnormalities, easily redirectable when she was sundowning. Residents Affected - Some A review of Documentation Survey Report v2 intervention of monitoring behavior symptoms, dated from September 2023 through January 2024, revealed staff observed that the resident displayed no behaviors. A review of the facility's Behavioral Tracking for use of an antipsychotic medication dated from September 2023 until December 2023, revealed no behaviors documented requiring continued treatment with Risperidone medication. A review of the clinical record revealed that the resident's dose of Risperidone was increased on November 9, 2023, despite the recommendation from pharmacist to attempt a GDR. A review of a psychiatric consultation report dated December 11, 2023, at 3:00 PM, revealed that the resident was seen on that day for psychiatric evaluation, to evaluate mental status and adjust medications for behavioral disturbances. The consult report noted that Risperidone dose was increased on November 9, 2023, to better manage distressing and irritable behavior after lunch time and into the afternoon. Staff reports that the resident's mood and behavior have improved with the medication adjustment. The report noted that there was a recent up-tick in distressing behavior that has subsided with the increase in the Risperdal dose, more easily re-directed now when she has sundowning. When reviewed during the survey ending January 11, 2024, the resident's clinical record, documentation survey report and behavior tracking failed to reflect the above behaviors noted in the psychiatric consultation report. An interview with the nursing home administrator (NHA) and director of nursing (DON) on January 11, 2024, at approximately 1: 00 PM confirmed no attempts at gradually reducing the dose of Risperidone had been made and confirmed that there was no documented evidence of the clinical assessments and prescriber documentation identifying the justification for the use of an antipsychotic medication. 28 Pa.

F 0804 Ensure food and drink is palatable, attractive, and at a safe and appetizing temperature. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, test tray results, resident and staff interviews, and test tray results it was determined that the facility failed to serve meals at safe and palatable temperatures. Residents Affected - Some Findings include: According to the federal regulatory guidance at 483.60(i)-(2) Food safety requirements - the definition of Danger Zone, found under the Definitions section, is food temperatures above 41 degrees Fahrenheit and below 135 degrees Fahrenheit that allow rapid growth of pathogenic microorganisms that can cause foodborne illness. During an interview on January 9, 2024, at 10:47 AM, Resident 12 stated that the food served was rarely ever hot, and she will often send it back to be reheated. She mentioned that she likes vegetables but could never eat them due to being mushy or not cooked. During an interview on January 9, 2024, at 11:00 AM, Resident 29 stated that the food has gone downhill and always comes out cold. She mentioned that she spoke with dietary staff related to a steam table and has voiced concerns during resident council meetings about the temperature of the food. During an interview on January 9, 2024, at 11:25 AM, Resident 13 stated that the food could be better, and the temperature is never hot. During an interview on January 10, 2024, at 9:27 AM, Resident 39 stated that the food is not the greatest and comes out cold. Review of December 2023 Resident Food Committee minutes revealed residents voiced concerns that food temperatures of hot food were better but meals (hot foods) were still sometimes cold. During interview with residents (Residents 29, 46, 26, 49, and 16) during a group meeting on January 10, 2024 at 10:30 AM, the residents reported that hot meals are often served cold and unpalatable. A test tray performed on the 100 Nursing Unit on January 10, 2024, at 12:10 PM revealed that the planned hot meal served was beef brisket, mashed potatoes, and Asian vegetables. At 12:25 PM, at the time the last resident was served, a test tray was completed and yielded the following results: beef brisket was 112 degrees Fahrenheit, mashed potatoes were 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and Asian vegetables were at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot food tasted lukewarm and was not palatable at the temperatures served. Interview with the nursing home administrator (NHA) on January 10, 2024, at 1:15 PM, confirmed that food was to be served at safe and palatable temperatures.

F 0812 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards. Based on observation and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain acceptable practices for the storage and service of food to prevent the potential for contamination and microbial growth in food, which increased the risk of food-borne illness in the food and nutrition services department and one of two resident pantries. Findings include: Food safety and inspection standards for safe food handling indicate that everything that comes in contact with food must be kept clean and food that is mishandled can lead to foodborne illness. Safe steps in food handling, cooking, and storage are essential in preventing foodborne illness. You cannot always see, smell, or taste harmful bacteria that may cause illness according to the USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture, also known as the Agriculture Department, is the U.S. federal executive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to food). During the initial tour of the food and nutrition services department with the foodservice director (FSD) conducted on January 9, 2024, at 10:00 AM the following unsanitary practices with the potential to introduce contaminants into food and increase the potential for food-borne illness were identified: There was a build-up of debris in the ceiling light shields located above the two-door refrigerator, trayline, handwashing sink, spice rack area, and food preparation area were dust covered. The ceiling vents and ceiling blocks in these areas were also dust covered. The hood vents located above the stoves had a thick layer dust and were in need of cleaning. The perimeter of the floors throughout the kitchen were visibly soiled and had an accumulation of debris. Uncovered bowls of applesauce were being stored in the roll-in refrigerator. There was a build-up of a chalky brownish colored substance (identified by the FSD as limescale) on the outside surface of the dishwasher. The exterior surfaces of two garbage cans near the trayline were heavily soiled and in need of cleaning. The interior surface of several hot beverage mugs identified as clean were stained with a brownish colored residue. Interview with the foodservice director (FSD) at this time confirmed that the food and nutrition services department was to be maintained in a sanitary manner. The FSD also confirmed that at the present time the steamer (used to cook vegetables and other food items), the upper portion of the convection oven, and the trayline steamtable (one of five wells not heating up) needed repair. The FSD confirmed that a plan to cook items that would normally be cooked in the steamer on the stove top was in place.

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of clinical records, select facility policy, CDC and Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines, observations, and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to follow infection control practices designed to deter spread of RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) infections in the facility. Residents Affected - Some Findings included: Review of the facility's policy entitled Management of Respiratory Syncytial Virus last reviewed by the facility on March 16, 2023, indicated it is the policy of the facility to ensure that proper and appropriate infection control principles are utilized to help decrease the risk of transmission of RSV. RSV is a highly contagious respiratory virus that can affect any age but is greater risk for older adults. It is easily spread through air uninfected respiratory droplets or through direct contact. The use of proper infection control principles can help decrease the risk of transmission of RSV. Further it was indicated the nurse will observe residents for signs and symptoms that may be consistent with upper respiratory tract infections but could be diagnosis RSV. The facility we'll follow testing guidance for RSV per state and local guidance in accordance with physician's orders. Infection control principles will be followed to decrease the risk of transmission based on federal state and local guidance. Residents testing positive for RSD will be placed on transmission based precautions for 10 days. Symptoms persisting past 10 days require an evaluation from provider to clear transmission based precaution status. According to PA HAN 720 initially dated September 29, 2023, testing should be used to diagnose respiratory infections due to the similarity of symptoms. Virus identification is crucial for making decisions regarding cohorting, implementing treatment, among other interventions. During increased respiratory virus activity, facilities are advised to use comprehensive respiratory panels to determine if multiple pathogens are circulating in the facility. According to CDC guidelines when an acute respiratory infection is identified in a resident it is important to take rapid action to prevent the spread to others in the facility. Further it is indicated to test anyone with respiratory illness signs and symptoms. The selection of the diagnostic tests will depend on the suspected cause of the infection. The facility should investigate for potential respiratory virus spread among residents and preform active surveillance to identify any additional ill residents using symptom screening and evaluating potential exposures. A review of an RSV line listing revealed the facility had an outbreak of RSV beginning on December 21, 2023, in the 100 hall nursing unit with Resident 34. The following residents tested positive for RSV after the initial outbreak: Resident 63 on December 22, 2023 Resident 61 on December 24, 2023 Resident 33 on January 2, 2024 Resident 64 on January 3, 2024.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of these clinical records revealed that the facility did not implement additional active respiratory surveillance on the residents once the outbreak began to promptly identify any additional respiratory illnesses. Residents Affected - Some A review of Resident 47's clinical record, who resides in the 100 hall nursing unit, revealed that the resident began to experience respiratory symptoms of a cough and congestion on December 30, 2023. A nursing note dated January 1, 2024, at 7:00 AM revealed that the resident continued to have respiratory symptoms of a moist cough, moderate amounts of phlegm, a temperature of 99.1 degrees, and rhonchi (course sounds in the lungs caused by constricted airways). Nursing notes revealed that the resident continued to have respiratory symptoms from January 2, 2024 through January 7, 2024. A review of Resident 46's clinical record, who resides on the 100 hall nursing unit, revealed on December 31, 2023, the resident began to experience cough. Nursing noted that the resident continued to experience a non-productive cough and cold like symptoms from January 1, 2024, through January 11, 2024. A review of Resident 57's clinical record, who resides on the 100 hall nursing unit, revealed that on January 1, 2024, the resident began to experience respiratory symptoms of a cough. Nursing noted on January 2, 2024, at 1:00 AM that the resident was having a coughing fit and a hard time clearing her phlegm. Nursing notes revealed that from January 3, 2024, through January 11, 2024, the resident continued to experience respiratory symptoms as noted above. The facility failed to perform testing on the residents who were experiencing multiple respiratory symptoms to promptly determine if the residents had contracted RSV during the current outbreak and to prevent further spread throughout the facility. A review a of resident council meeting minutes dated December 29, 2023, revealed that the residents in attendance at the meeting raised a concern about residents not being tested for RSV. The Resident Council asked the facility why residents are not being tested for RSV if they have symptoms and there are RSV infections in the facility. The DON (director of nursing) replied that it was up to the doctor and RSV is viral and just has to run its course. An observation on January 9, 2024, at approximately 10:45 AM revealed a red bin intended for disposal of used/contaminated PPE (personal protective equipment) in the doorway to room [ROOM NUMBER]. Resident 233 resides in the room and was positive for RSV. The red bin was overflowing with PPE and dirty used contaminated PPE was hanging outside, overflowing from the bin.
