Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review the facility failed to complete a significant change MDS assessment within 14
days after a significant change in the resident's mental and physical condition for 3 of 5 residents (Resident
#12, #4, and #2) reviewed for assessments.1. The facility failed to complete a Significant Change in Status
MDS Assessment after Resident #12 admitted to hospice services on [DATE].2. The facility failed to
complete a Significant Change in Status MDS Assessment after Resident #2 had four new diagnoses
changes: Klebsiella Pneumoniae ([DATE]), Urinary Tract Infection (UTI [DATE]), Do Not Resuscitate (DNR
[DATE]), and Pleural Effusion ([DATE]).3. The facility failed to complete a Significant Change in Status MDS
Assessment after Resident #4 had increasing symptoms of cough, congestion, and shortness of breath
which began [DATE] and was still progressing through the last day of survey [DATE].These failures could
place residents at risk of having inaccurate assessments, not having individual needs met, and decreased
quality of life.Findings included:1. Record review of Resident #12's face sheet, dated [DATE], revealed
Resident #12 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Pertinent diagnoses included
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF - a chronic condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet
the body's needs, leading to fluid buildup and other various symptoms), Atrial fibrillation (AFib - an irregular
heart rhythm which originates in the heart's upper chambers (the atria) and could lead to symptoms such
as fatigue, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness), and Encounter for Palliative Care
(Palliative Care - a medical specialty which focuses on relieving the symptoms and stresses of a serious
illness in order to maximize the quality of life, according to the patient's and family's goals and
aspirations).Record review of Resident #12's physician orders, dated [DATE], revealed Resident #12 had
an order to be admitted to hospice with a diagnosis of CHF. Record review of Resident #12's care plan,
dated [DATE], revealed Resident #12 had a care plan for Hospice. Interventions included correlating care
with hospice to ensure all needs were met on a daily basis; keep Resident #12 comfortable, repositioned,
clean, and dry; monitor Resident #12 for changes in condition.Record review of Resident #12's EHR did not
indicate a Significant Change in Status MDS Assessment was completed after Resident #12 was admitted
to hospice services on [DATE]. There were no Significant Change in Status MDS Assessments in Resident
#12's EHR for the entirety of their admission in the facility.2. Record review of Resident #4's face sheet,
dated [DATE], revealed Resident #4 was a [AGE] year-old female initially admitted to the facility on [DATE],
with a readmission on [DATE]. Pertinent diagnoses included Alzheimer's Disease (a progressive disorder
which was the most common cause of dementia, characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and
behavioral changes), Do Not Resuscitate, Klebsiella Pneumoniae (a bacterium which could cause serious
infections, particularly in hospital settings, and was known for its antibiotic resistance), and Urinary Tract
Infection (UTI - an infection in any part of the urinary system).Record review of Resident #4's progress

Progress note dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 received an order for a STAT chest x-rays, lab work, and
continue with Albuterol treatments three times per day for 7 days for congestion.Record review of Resident
#2's care plan, dated [DATE], and revised [DATE], revealed a care plan for altered respiratory status related
to cough and/or congestion. Interventions included administer medications as ordered and monitor for
effectiveness and side effects. A care plan dated [DATE] revealed Resident #2 had a care plan for oxygen
therapy as needed for low oxygen saturations. Interventions included monitor for signs and symptoms of
respiratory distress and report to the doctor; oxygen at 2 Liters via nasal cannula as needed for low oxygen
saturations; check oxygen saturations as indicated or needed. Record review of Resident #2's electronic
health record did not indicate a Significant Change in Status MDS Assessment was completed after
Resident #2 progressively worsened with cough, congestion and shortness of breath which began [DATE].
Resident #2's Annual MDS Assessment, dated [DATE] and completed [DATE], did not reveal any oxygen
therapy or treatments, or any suctioning therapy or treatments. There were no Significant Change in Status
MDS Assessments in Resident #2's EHR for the entirety of their admission in the facility.In an interview on
[DATE] at 9:36 am, MDS-C stated he made sure the MDS assessments were completed and filled out, then
submitted. He also said there were 3 MDS nurses who worked on MDS assessments, but he was not the
coordinator. MDS-C stated no one was tracking anything regarding the MDS assessments, then
subsequently stated significant change MDS assessments were getting done in the facility because he was
the one who did them. He stated a significant change was a change in the residents' diagnoses or care
which was projected to last long term, longer than 14 days, and affected 2 or more care areas, such as
residents being placed on hospice. MDS-C stated he found out about residents with changes in the
morning meetings which were held twice per week, or when he ran the 24-hour report in the morning. He
could not recall any residents in the facility in the past 3-6 months who he had performed a Significant
Change MDS Assessment on.In an interview on [DATE] at 10:30 AM, the DON stated Resident #2 recently
had a significant change in which he had to continuously be placed on Oxygen due to low Oxygen
saturation levels. The DON stated a significant change was something which deviated from the baseline
which required treatment or monitoring, such as a change in the residents' care, and the fact Resident #2
had not consistently used Oxygen previously, but it was currently being utilized continuously, would be
considered a significant change. The DON stated if there was a change in condition, the floor nurses
assessed the situation and put it in a progress note, but they did not do an actual assessment of the
residents such as a focused assessment or SBAR assessment for a change in condition, but he saw how it
would be needed, and the nurses should have been doing focused assessments, SBARs, or significant
change assessments, which should trigger the MDS to do the Significant Change in Condition MDS
assessments, but they were not being done. He stated the progress notes or changes got relayed back to
MDS-C in the morning meetings or in their group communication text/chat. The DON stated MDS-C had not
been doing significant change assessments, except when there was a big change, such as new hospice
orders.In an interview on [DATE] at 1:30 PM the Administrator stated the MDS coordinator did MDS
assessments in conjunction with the other MDS staff and the speech therapist. She stated since the facility
was a non-profit, they did not get help from people such as regional nurses or regional MDS. She stated it
was up to them to figure out what needed to be done. She stated staff had been trained in MDS
assessments, so they should have known when and how to complete significant change assessments, but
she was not sure if they had been doing it. In an interview on [DATE] at 2:15 pm, MDS-B (the MDS
Coordinator) stated she used to be the DON for this facility, but she moved over to the MDS coordinator
position. She stated she had been trained on how to complete MDS assessments and forms, and the MDS

comprehensive assessment to meet all the needs of the residents and establish a plan of care. MDS-B
stated MDS-C was the one who did the actual MDS assessment, and she just signed off on them once they
were completed. She stated she had not actually checked for accuracy or to make sure the proper
assessments were completed. She stated it was just her job to sign off the MDS had been completed.
MDS-B stated in-house acquired pressure ulcers could be considered significant changes if it affected two
or more care areas or lasted longer than 14 days, as well as progressive cough and congestion and use of
Oxygen could be considered a significant change if it affected 2 or more care areas or lasted longer than
14 days, but she was not sure who in the facility had actually had recent significant changes warranting
assessments to be completed. Record review of the facility's Change in a Resident's Condition or Status
policy, revised [DATE], revealed A significant change of condition is a decline or improvement in the
resident's status which: a. will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing
standard disease-related clinical interventions; b. Impacts more than one area of the resident's health
status; c. required interdisciplinary review and/or revision to the care plan; d. ultimately is based on the
judgment of the clinical staff and the guidelines outlined in the Resident Assessment Instrument and 42
CFR 483.20(b)(ii).Record review of the facility's Assessment Schedule for the RAI, revised [DATE], revealed
Page 2-7, a significant change in status assessment is not required in a case where the resident's condition
is expected to return to baseline within a short period of time, such as one to two weeks. If the condition
does not return to baseline, the assessment should be completed as soon as needed to provide
appropriate care to the residents, but in no case later than 14 days after the determination was made which
a significant change occurred. The amount of time which would be appropriate for a facility to monitor a
resident depends on the clinical situation and severity of symptoms experienced by the resident. Generally,
if the condition has not resolved within approximately 2 weeks, staff would begin a comprehensive RAI
assessment.

Coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program; and referring for
services as needed.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the Pre-admission
Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) program to the maximum extent practicable to avoid duplicative
testing and effort for 5 of 16 residents reviewed for PASRR. (Residents #2, 7, 8, 9, and 11) 1. The facility
failed to refer Resident #2 for PASRR Level II assessment when the facility incorrectly coded his PASRR
Level I assessment. 2. The facility failed to refer Resident #7 for PASRR Level II assessment when the
facility incorrectly coded her PASRR Level I assessment. 3. The facility failed to refer Resident #8 for
PASRR review following new mental illness diagnosis. After admission, he was diagnosed with mood
disorder due to known physiological condition, delusional disorders, and insomnia. 4. The facility failed to
refer Resident #9 for PASRR review following new mental illness diagnosis. After admission, she was
diagnosed with major depressive disorder, recurrent, severe with psychotic symptoms. 5. The facility failed
to refer Resident #11 for PASRR Level II assessment when the facility incorrectly coded her PASRR Level I
assessment. Further, and after admission, her diagnoses included anxiety disorder, major depressive
disorder, recurrent, severe without psychotic features, mood disorder due to known physiological condition,
vascular dementia, depression, bipolar disorder, and delusional disorders. These failures could place
residents at risk of not receiving needed assessments (PASRR Evaluation), individualized care, and
specialized services to meet their needs. Findings include: 1. Record review of face sheet dated 11/05/24
indicated Resident #2 was a [AGE] year-old male admitted on [DATE]. His diagnoses (all dated 11/05/24)
included unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance,
mood disturbance, and anxiety. Mood disorder due to known physiological condition with mixed features,

stiffness, and balance problems, making everyday tasks difficult. It is a progressive disease where brain
cells die, affecting control over the body, worsening over time) (04/12/24) , Psychotic disorder with
hallucinations due to known physiological condition (12/11/23), unspecified dementia (11/30/23),
depression, and functional quadriplegia (the complete inability to move the arms and legs due to severe
frailty or debility without actual physical damage or injury to the brain or spinal cord). Record review of
Resident #7's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE], revealed a BIMS score of 00, indicating severely
impaired cognition. She had no functional abilities and was dependent on staff for all ADL's and was always
incontinent of bowel. She had a urinary catheter and a feeding tube. Her active diagnoses included
depression, Parkinson's, and psychotic disorder. She was taking antidepressant and antipsychotic
medications, and was on continuous oxygen therapy. Record review of Resident #7's PL1 dated 11/30/23

Residents Affected - Some
facility had three MDS coordinators, and he was not one of them, but since he had worked there for 15
years, he received the brunt of it. He said MDS B worked on the diagnoses and care plans. He said no one
was tracking anything. He said MDS B was the coordinator and she was responsible for PASRR. He said
right now the facility was changing titles and cutting staff. For example, he would remain as MDS for LTC
(long term care). He said MDS F would be doing therapy and MDS B was taking over the care plan's. He
said he had not followed up with any PASRR since Covid. He said administration, DON's and everyone had
been changing a lot over the last several years. He said he never had training on PASRR, none of them
(MDS) did. He said he never suggested getting training because there's no money in it for him. Requested
MDS F and B for interviews. In an interview with the DON on 12/11/25 at 10:15 am, he said the process for
identifying residents with new qualifying diagnoses after admission was a form that was supposed to be
filled out and sent to the state. He said MDS #C was responsible for making the referral to the appropriate
state-designated authority when a resident was identified as having newly evident qualifying diagnoses for
MD, ID, or related conditions. He said if there was a resident identified, he did not know why there was not a
referral made or forms signed. He said the residents could decline because they were not getting services
they otherwise could have benefitted from. Requested MDS F and B for interviews. In an interview with the
ADM on 12/11/25 at 1:30 pm she said MDS B was the MDS coordinator. She said the facility was currently
going through some training for MDS. She said MDS F was the coordinator for care plans and LTC (Long
Term Care), and also managed therapy schedules. She said the admin team met and decided to change
the MDS nurses' rolls but could not explain them. She said the Admissions coordinator was also assisting
with the MDS nurses because it was collaborative. She said the speech therapist was doing the BIMS
scores within their scope. She said the social worker, activities director, and the dietary manager were part
of the collaboration. She said MDS B opened the MDS's and checked to make sure they were complete.
She said MDS C checked for accuracy. She said the MDS staff had training on MDS, but could not say
when or produce any documentation for the MDS training. She said there had not been any PASRR training
for years. She said PASRR was resident's cognitive level. She did not know what the process was for
PASRR or what a form 1012 was or when it needed to be used. She said none of her staff had been trained
for PASRR. Requested MDS F and B for interviews. In an interview with MDS B on 12/11/25 at 2:15 pm she
said she had started work at the facility in January 2025 but was DON for 8 years. She said she took the
MDS course 3 times and took some association courses on her own. She said MDS was the actual
comprehensive assessment to meet all the needs of the residents and establish a plan of care. She said
MDS C was responsible for scheduling the quarterly MDS dates and all other MDS due dates, including
changes. She said the administrative staff reviewed the 24-hour reports to determine significant changes.
She said MDS C was the only person who did MDS. She said the ICP took care of the nutrition rooms. She
said staff were trained by the DON, ADON, ICP, and the fire dept. She said MDS F did care plans and she
(MDS B) assisted clinical management, was the CNA coordinator, care plans, and signed off the MDS's.
She said she did not make sure the MDS's she signed were accurate. She said the Admissions nurse did
the PASRR's. Requested MDS F and the Admissions nurse for interviews. MDS F nor the Admissions nurse
provided interviews. Record review of facility policy titled Resident Assessment-Coordination with PASRR
Program with an implemented date February 12, 2027 reflected: This facility coordinates assessments with
the preadmission screening and resident review (PASARR) program under Medicaid to ensure that
individuals with a mental disorder, intellectual disability, or a related condition receives care and services in
the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. 1. All applicants to this facility will be screened for
serious mental disorders or intellectual disabilities

Ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility are labeled in accordance with currently accepted
professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure all drugs and biologicals were stored
in locked compartments for 1 of 6 medication carts (Nurse Med-Cart, [NAME] Wing, Long Hall) reviewed for
labeling and storage. The facility failed to ensure the Nurse Medication Cart for the long hall in Wing 1 was
locked and secured. This failure could place the residents at risk of gaining access to unlocked medications
which were not prescribed to them.Findings included:Observation on 12/09/2025 at 9:42 AM revealed an
unlocked med-cart parked down from the nurse's station in the long hall on Wing 1 with no nurses or other
staff around it. The keys for the medication cart were hanging from the lock of the medication cart. There
were residents noted to be walking and passing by. The med-cart lock was popped out, and all drawers
were able to be opened and accessed. The med-cart was full of medications, including narcotics.In an
interview on 12/09/2025 at 9:45 AM, LVN-D stated it was her med-cart, and she had forgotten to lock it and
pull the keys out of it before she walked away. She stated the med-cart should always be locked when not in
use because if left unlocked, anyone, including residents, could get into it and get medications out which
did not belong to them, and this could cause harm. She stated the keys left in the med-cart contained the
regular med-cart key, the narcotic box key, a key to the medication room, a key to the lock box in the
medication room, as well as many other keys which she was not sure what they went to because she had
never had to use them, but she thought they may have belonged to the other medication carts. LVN-D
stated it was the responsibility of the nurse who was working the med-cart this shift to keep up with the
keys for this med-cart and to ensure the med-cart remained locked when not in use. In an interview on
12/11/2025 at 10:30 AM, the DON stated he was not aware any of the nurses had left their medication cart
unlocked. He stated it was the nurse of the med-carts responsibility to keep up with the keys for their
med-cart, as well as be sure the med-cart was locked every time they stepped away from it. He stated if the
med-carts were not kept locked, residents or anyone else could have gained access to the cart and taken
medication which did not belong to them. He stated he was not sure exactly what keys were on LVN-D's key
ring, but for sure there was the med-cart key, the narcotic box key, and the key to the medication room. He
stated he was starting an in-service today with the nurses and medication aides regarding their med-cart
keys and locking the med-carts. In an interview on 12/11/2025 at 1:30 PM, the Administrator stated it was
the nurse's responsibility to keep her medication cart locked and keep up with the keys which went to her
medication cart. She stated if medication carts were left unlocked, anyone could have gotten into the cart
and taken medication, and it could have harmed them. She stated the nurses and medication aides knew
this because it was discussed in their annual training, and they had been in-serviced regarding this as well.
Record review of the facility's Storage of Medication Policy, revised April 2007, revealed 2. The nursing staff
shall be responsible for maintaining medication storage and preparation area in a clean, safe, and sanitary
manner. 7. Compartments (including, but not limited to, drawers, cabinets, rooms, refrigerators, carts, and
boxes) containing drugs and biologicals shall be locked when not in use, and trays or carts used to
transport such items shall not be left unattended if open or otherwise potentially available to others.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and
serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety for 1 of 1 kitchen reviewed and
1 of 1 nutrition rooms for storage, preparation, and sanitation. The facility failed to discard damaged pans
and utensils. The facility failed to keep food products in the refrigerators and freezers sealed properly. The
facility failed to follow a cleaning schedule. These failures could place residents at risk for food
contamination and foodborne illness. Findings include: Initial tour and observation of the kitchen on
12/09/24, beginning at 8:15 am revealed 4 of 7 non-stick type coated frying pans were flaking. Three of the
pans were completely bare, except for the sides. There were 2 large spatulas with chunks of plastic missing
around the edges in the use bin. The underside of the shelf directly over the food on the steam table had
chunks of removable red, brown, and black substances. There was a removable fuzzy black substance on
and around the gaskets and on the doors of the 2-compartment bread refrigerator. There were tomatoes
with fuzzy black spots on them, and they were leaking juices in the walk-in refrigerator. There were 7 large
limp carrots with fuzzy black spots on them. The carrots were inside a large box touching more large
carrots. There was an unsealed zip-type bag of cut cabbage that was open to air in the walk-in refrigerator.
There was a large open plastic bag labeled sausage slices in the walk-in freezer. The sausage slices had
ice on them. In an interview with DA G on 12/09/25 at 8:20 am, she said she did not know the pans were
damaged, and she could not throw them out because the DM had to do that. She said the cooks and the
DM were in charge of the refrigerators and freezers. In an interview with DA H on 12/09/25 at 8:40 am, she
said she was unaware of the flaking non-stick coating on the pans. She said the bits of the coating could
get into the food and make residents sick. In an interview with the [NAME] on 12/09/25 at 8:50 am, she said
the non-stick coating from the pans were like that because they used metal utensils in them. She said they
did not use the pans. She said the pans were hanging on the clean rack. She said the DM was the only one
allowed to discard damaged utensils. She said the damaged spatulas were used in the puree machine. She
said she guessed the broken-off pieces were in the food. She said the residents could ingest the particles
of the spatulas, pans, and whatever was on the underside of the steam table shelf. She said whoever
unloaded the truck deliveries was responsible for storing the items properly. She said she did not know who
stacked the boxes to the ceiling in the walk-in freezer. She said the DA's and the cooks were responsible for
properly storing leftover food in the refrigerators and freezers. She said she did not know who had left food
open. She said that when kitchen staff came across bad food, such as the tomatoes and carrots, they threw
them out as soon as they saw them. She said leaving the tomatoes and carrots in the state they were in
could cause cross-contamination and make residents sick. She said the DM did not come in until 8 or 9 am.
His presence was requested at this time. During a return visit to the kitchen and an interview with the DM
on 12/10/25 at 2:00 pm, he said he did not come to work until 8 or 9 am in the morning. He said he was at
the facility yesterday and knew the state was in the building. He shrugged his shoulders when asked why
he did not speak with this state surveyor yesterday. He said he was responsible for everything in the
kitchen. He said there was a cleaning schedule, but the kitchen had not been cleaned properly for over nine
months. He said there had been staffing shortages, so he had to cut some things out. He said not cleaning
the kitchen properly could compromise the cleanliness of the kitchen and make residents sick. He said
there was mold around both of the bread refrigerator doors and gaskets. He said the damaged non-stick
pans were not being used and did not know why they were hanging on the clean rack. He said he was in
charge of discarding

damaged utensils, so he knew when to replace them. When asked at what point non-stick pans were
considered damaged, he said when the coating started coming off. He said the coating was toxic, and the
pieces probably got into the food and could make the residents sick, but he had not heard about anyone
getting sick. He said the particles on the underside of the shelf above the steam table probably got into the
food. He said all food in the refrigerators and freezers should be tightly sealed, labeled, and dated. He said
the cooks and DA's were responsible for storing food. He said the rotten tomatoes and carrots should not
be in the same box as the good ones because whatever was on the bad ones could cross-contaminate the
good ones and make residents sick. He said the personal items on the carts in the kitchen should not be
there because of cross-contamination. He said the kitchen staff had a place to store their personal items.
He said the carts were not a designated area for staff belongings. He said kitchen staff were not
responsible for the nutrition refrigerators, and he did not know who was. He said staff should know not to
stack boxes in the walk-in refrigerators to the ceiling. He said it could impede the sprinklers if there was a
fire. He said the ice accumulation on the condenser hose was always like that. He said that was why he did
not report it to anyone. In an interview with the DON on 12/11/25 at 12:13 pm he said nurses were
responsible for cleaning, labeling, and dating resident belongings in the designated resident refrigerator. He
said labeling and dating food and beverages were required to prevent cross-contamination and potential
illness from expired products. He said all staff were responsible for cleaning, labeling, and dating personal
belongings in the designated employee refrigerator. He said he did not check the refrigerators because he
assumed staff were. In an interview with MDS B on 12/11/25 at 2:15 pm she said the ICP took care of the
nutrition rooms. In an interview with the ADM on 12/11/25 at 2:30 pm, she said she was unaware there was
anything going on with the kitchen. She said she had been there before but was not sure what to look for.

Have a plan that describes the process for conducting QAPI and QAA activities.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and record review the facility failed to develop a QAPI plan that described the process
for conducting quality assessment and assurance activities, including the process on how the committee
would identify and correct quality deficiencies for 3 of 16 residents. The facility did not have a QAPI plan
process for conducting change in condition assessments. This failure could place residents at risk of not
receiving quality care and services. The findings include: In an interview on 12/11/25 at 10:08 AM, the ADM
stated a significant change was a change in the resident's condition and was something that deviates from
the resident's baseline that would require treatment or monitoring. The ADM stated if an injury or accident
occurred; nurses would document a progress note but not complete an actual assessment. The ADM stated
the floor nurses should be doing an assessment with any changes the resident has had, such as a focused
assessment or an SBAR but was unsure if the nurses were completing any assessments. The ADM stated
since significant changes were not being made, the facility was not able to track and trend resident
changes, and it was not a part of QAPI. In an interview on 12/11/2025 at 10:30 AM, the DON stated if there
was a change in condition with a resident, the floor nurses assessed the situation and put it in a progress
note, but they did not do an actual assessment of the residents such as a focused assessment or SBAR
assessment for a change in condition, but he saw how it would be needed. The DON stated the nurses
should have been doing focused assessments, SBARs, or significant change assessments, which would
trigger the MDS to do the Significant Change in Condition MDS assessments, but they were not being
done. The DON stated significant changes in residents were not being tracked and trended. Record review
of QAPI confirmed significant changes were not being tracked. In an interview on 12/11/2025 at 2:15 pm,
MDS B (the MDS Coordinator) stated she used to be the DON for this facility, but she moved over to the
MDS coordinator position. She stated she had been trained on how to complete MDS assessments and
forms, and the MDS was the actual comprehensive assessment to meet all the needs of the residents and
establish a plan of care. MDS B stated MDS C was the one who did the actual MDS assessment, and she
just signed off on them once they were completed. She stated she had not actually checked for accuracy or
to make sure the proper assessments were completed. She stated it was just her job to sign off the MDS
had been completed. MDS B stated administration meets twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays to
discuss anything going on in the facility and with residents, but they were not tracking and trending
significant changes or monitoring them. Record review of the facility's Quality Assurance Performance
Improvement policy dated 02/12/25 reflected: Policy: It is the policy of this facility to develop, implement,
and maintain an effective, comprehensive, data-driven QAPI program that focuses on indicators of the
outcomes of care quality of life and addresses all the care and unique services the facility provides. Policy
Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: 3. The QAPI plan will address the following elements: c. Process
addressing how the committee will conduct activities necessary to identify and correct quality deficiencies,
Key components of the process include, but are not limited to, the following: i. Tracking and measuring
performance. ii. Establishing goals and thresholds for performance improvements. Iii. Identifying and
prioritizing quality deficiencies. V. Developing and implementing corrective action or performance
improvement activities. Program Development Guidelines: 1. Program Design and Scope - b. At a minimum,
the QAPI program will: i. Address all systems of care and management practices. 3. Program Feedback,
Data Systems, and Monitoring - c. Data is collected from all departments and is used to develop and
monitor performance indicators. i. Facility staff are responsible for following department procedures for data
collection. ii. Department heads are responsible for ensuring data is collected appropriately and
performance metrics are monitored in accordance with facility policy.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview, 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 one of six Residents
(Resident #5) that were reviewed for infection control and transmission-based precautions policies and
practices. 1) The facility failed to ensure LVN performed hand hygiene after removing gloves prior to and
after setting up Resident #5's wound care supplies. 2) The facility failed to ensure LVN used a sterile,
individually wrapped applicator to apply medication to Resident #5's wound. 3) The facility failed to maintain
an infection and prevention control program that included, at a minimum, a system for preventing and
controlling Legionella through a program that identifies areas in the water system where Legionella bacteria
can grow and spread. These failures could place residents at risk of infection through cross contamination
of pathogens and infectious diseases. Findings include: Record review of Resident #5's face sheet dated
12/11/25 reflected an [AGE] year-old-female with an original admission date of 08/01/25. Diagnoses
included hypertension (high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes (insufficient insulin production in the body),
end stage kidney disease (kidneys can no longer maintain the body's balance of fluids, electrolytes, and
waste products), and cerebral infarction (blood flow to part of the brain is obstructed, leading to the death in
brain cells). Record review of Resident #5's physician orders dated 11/11/25 reflected: Stage IV Pressure
Ulcer (full thickness skin and tissue loss with exposed or directly palpable fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament,
cartilage, or bone): Cleanse with Vashe (wound cleanser), pat dry with 4x4 gauze, apply collagen powder
(promotes new tissue growth), apply Silvadene (topical antibiotic cream), cover with dry 4x4 gauze, cover
with ABD pad, and secure with tape, every day and night shift. Record review of Resident #5's quarterly
MDS dated [DATE] a BIMS of 00 (severe cognitive impairment). During an observation on 12/10/25 at 1:16
PM, LVN A sanitized the wound care tray, removed gloves and put on new gloves without sanitizing or
washing hands. During an observation on 12/10/25 at 1:19 PM, LVN A removed a wooden applicator from a
shared cup containing multiple applicators located on the medication cart and placed it on the tray. The
applicators were stored together in an open container, were not individually wrapped, and were not sterile.
During an observation on 12/10/25 at 1:25 PM, LVN A removed gloves after prepping Resident #5's wound
care supplies and put on new gloves without sanitizing or washing hands. In an interview on 12/10/25 at
1:47PM, LVN A stated it was important to wash or sanitize hands after every glove removal to prevent
cross-contamination. LVN A stated Resident #5's wound could get infected and get worse if introduced to
bacteria. LVN A stated he was nervous and forgot some of the steps. LVN A stated that the orders did not
state what to use when applying the medication and just thought he could use one of the wooden
applicators located on the medication cart. LVN A stated he probably should have used an individual sealed
applicator since it would be sterile. LVN A stated since he used a non-sterile wooden applicator, Resident
#5's wound could possibly not heal or become infected. In an interview on 12/11/25 at 2:03 PM, the IP
stated hand sanitizer could be used after glove removal and hand washing should take place when hands
are visibly soiled. The IP stated it was important to ensure hands were cleaned before staff moved on to the
next resident to prevent cross contamination. The IP stated by using a non-sterile applicator, Resident #5's
wound could obtain an organism and could become septic since the resident's immune system was low.
The IP stated that hand hygiene skills were done continuously throughout the year. In an interview on
12/11/25 at 2:56 PM, the ADON stated she frequently would do spot checks on wound care, but she had no
process for tracking and trending wounds. The ADON

cross contamination. In an interview on 12/11/25 at 3:07 PM, the DON stated all staff should be washing
their hands after every glove removal to prevent infection and the spread of germs. The DON stated the
ADON would do spot checks on wound care but did not have a process to track and trend competency. The
DON stated LVN A should have used a sterile, individualized wrapped applicator to prevent the spread of
infection. The DON stated Resident #5's wound could not heal or become worse. During an interview on
12/11/25 at 11:22 AM, the MD stated he was new to the Maintenance Director position and had not
established any preventions to monitor and prevent Legionella. The MD stated he was unsure what the
previous MD was doing and since he has become the MD, nothing had been done to the water system
other than the replacement of 3 water heaters due to them not working. The MD stated it was important to
monitor and try to prevent Legionella because the residents could become very sick if the water became
contaminated. The MD stated he was going to start working on a prevention strategy immediately. In an
interview on 12/11/25 at 12:39 PM, the IP stated she was aware of the organism Legionella but was not
aware or trained on the prevention of it. The IP stated if the water became contaminated, the residents
could experience pneumonia and possible rheumatic fever. In an interview on 12/11/25 at 12:47 PM, the
DON stated it was important for the facility to monitor and have prevention strategies in place to prevent
