Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for 5 of 5 residents (Resident's #1, # 2, #3) reviewed for infection control practices. The facility failed to ensure LVN A, LVN C, LVN D, and the Interim DON used sterile technique while performing tracheotomy suctioning on Resident #1. The facility failed to ensure RN B used sterile technique while performing tracheotomy care on Resident #2 on 09/29/25. The facility failed to follow the tracheotomy care and suctioning policy and procedure. The facility failed to ensure LVN A, LVN C, LVN D, the interim ADON, LVN G and CNA H wore enhanced barrier precautions while performing care on Resident #1, who had a feeding tube, tracheostomy tube, wound, and Foley catheter. The facility failed to ensure CNA E and CNA F wore enhanced barrier precautions while providing care to Resident #3 who had a Foley Catheter. The facility failed to ensure the nursing staff knew how to access PPE and sterile supplies for enhanced barrier precautions. Immediate jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 09/30/25 at 04:00 PM. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 04:38 PM. While the IJ was removed on 10/02/25 at 05:13 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of a patterned and a severity level of no actual harm with potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy because all staff had not been provided education on providing sterile tracheotomy care and suctioning and enhanced barrier precautions. These failures could place residents and staff at risk for cross contamination and serious injury, harm, impairment, and death from the spread of an infectious disease.Findings included: 1. Record review of a face sheet dated 09/29/25 indicated Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old male initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included autistic disorder (difficulties in social communication and interaction, strong preference for routine, sensory processing differences, focused interest and repetitive behaviors), schizoaffective disorders (symptoms of delusional, hallucinations, depressed episodes followed by manic periods of high energy), anemias, and neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder (problem due to disease or injury of the central nervous system or nerves involved in the control of urination), tracheostomy status, encounter for attention to gastrostomy (feeding tube). Record review of the Comprehensive MDS assessment dated [DATE] indicated, Resident #1 was rarely able to make himself understood and was rarely understood by others. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #1 did not have BIMS score, which indicated Resident #1 was unable to complete the assessment. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #1 was dependent on staff for all ADLs. The MDS assessment indicated Resident #1 had a tracheotomy. Record review of Resident #1's care plan with a target date of 10/21/25 indicated he had a tracheotomy with a goal of he would be relieved of secretions and congestion within five minutes of suctioning and no occurrence of infection. Record review of Resident #1's Order Summary Report dated 09/29/25 indicated: Change tracheotomy dressing with tracheotomy care every day and PM with a start date of 06/27/25. Record review of Complaint/Grievance dated 08/12/25 indicated Resident #1's family member complained the staff was not providing tracheotomy care and suctioning using sterile technique. The grievance indicated the resolution was all nurses on North Hall were in serviced on tracheotomy care and suctioning using sterile technique. Record review of the admission hospital records dated 09/25/25 indicated Resident #1 was admitted with chronic respiratory failure with tracheostomy in place. Laboratory results indicated Resident #1 had bacteremia (bacteria is present in the bloodstream), staph hominis (gram positive bacteria in the bloodstream), and pseudomonas (gram positive bacteria found in lungs, skin, ears) 2.
