mobility, dressing, transfers, personal hygiene, and eating. The MDS indicated she took insulin medication
during the 7-day look-back period.
During an observation and interview on 12/09/24 at 11:00 a.m., RN BB stepped away from the medication
cart and entered Resident #17's room to check her blood sugar. RN BB left the computer screen (on top of
the medication cart) unlocked where the medication administration record of Resident#17 was clearly
displayed. While RN BB was in the room staff and residents were observed walking by the unlocked
computer screen. RN BB said she left the computer screen open for Resident #17 because she was in a
hurry. She said she should have closed the MAR before she entered Resident #17's room. She said it was
a HIPPA (stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a federal law that protects the
privacy and security of patients' health information) violation to keep the MAR open where others could see
Resident #17's personal information, such as diagnosis and medication orders.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 12:08 p.m., the DON said she expected the nurses and med aides to
provide full visual privacy and confidentiality of information for all residents. She said if the staff left the
MAR open anyone could walk up to it and see personal information or change orders under the logged-in
person's name. The DON said failure not to protect the resident's information could cause poor self-esteem
and embarrassment for the resident.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 3:32 p.m., the Administrator said she expected the MAR to always be
closed when unattended because of resident information and privacy.
Record review of the facility's policy titled Residents Rights, revised February 20, 2021, indicated, Policy:

interview and record review the facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan each residnet
that included the instructions needed to provide effective and person-centered care of the resident that met
professional standards of quality of care for 1 of 2 resident's (Resident #108) reviewed for baseline care
plans.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #108's weight bearing status to her fractured right arm was addressed
on the baseline care plan.
This failure could place residents at risk of increased pain, and worsening of fractures.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #108's face sheet, dated 12/11/2024, indicated a [AGE] year-old female who
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #108 had diagnoses which included fracture of the right
humerus (right upper arm), muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet and the lack of coordination.
Record review of Resident #108's Baseline Care Plan, dated 11/26/2024, indicated Resident #108 desired
to discharge back home, advance directive status was a full code status, had a risk for ADL/mobility
performance impairment due to a fracture, used a wheelchair as an assistive device, required physical
assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toileting, locomotion, was independent with eating, and was totally
dependent with bathing. The Baseline Care Plan Indicated Resident #108 had risk factors for falls due to
severe weakness/deconditioning and had the potential to fall. The Baseline Care Plan did not indicate
Resident #108's weight bearing status to the fractured right arm.
Record review of Resident #108's hospital discharge orders, dated 11/26/2024, indicated continue shoulder
restraints, work with physical therapy, and follow up with the orthopedic physician within 1-2 weeks.
Record review of Resident #108's admission MDS, dated [DATE], indicated Resident #108 understood and
was understood by others. Resident #108's BIMS score was 14, which indicated she was not cognitively
impaired. Resident #108 required partial/moderate assistance with toileting hygiene and bathing, and
substantial/maximal assistance with bathing, personal hygiene and dressing.
Record review of Resident #108's consolidated physician's orders, dated 12/11/2024, indicated on
11/27/2024 the physician ordered occupational therapy services 5 times a week for 12 weeks for self-care,
ADL retraining, therapeutic activities, therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular re-education, safety education
and modalities as needed.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 8:45 a.m., RN B said she was unaware of Resident #108's right arm
weight bearing status. RN B said nursing should know Resident #108's weight bearing status to her right
arm because not knowing could be dangerous. RN B said bearing weight on a fracture bone could cause
more injury. RN B said the baseline care plan, and/or the comprehensive care plan should indicate
Resident #108's weight bearing status to her arm.

the State Surveyor.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:52 p.m., the Treatment Nurse said she had been a charge nurse
recently and provided care to the residents. The Treatment Nurse said she provided care to Resident #108.
The treatment nurse said she was not aware of Resident #108's weight bearing status to the right arm
fracture. The treatment nurse said the care plan should reflect a weight bearing status to prevent further
injury. The treatment nurse said the baseline care plan should indicate the care a resident required and was
on-going.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 3:12 p.m., the DON said the process was when an admission came
therapy evaluated the needs of the resident and provided recommendations. The DON said if therapy failed
to make recommendations, then the physician should be notified for weight bearing orders. The DON said
the baseline care plan would implement safety and prevention of injury or re-injury. The DON said she had
not formulated a process for reviewing the baseline care plans since she was newly appointed to her
position. The DON said she was responsible for ensuring the baseline care plan was completed and
accurately reflected the resident's needs.
During an interview on 12/12/2024 at 10:04 a.m., the Administrator said Resident #108's weight bearing
status should be part of the baseline care plan. The baseline care plan would direct Resident #108's care
and would especially direct the care of her fractured arm. The Administrator said she expected therapy,
after the evaluation to address weight bearing restrictions. The Administrator said it should be reviewed by
nursing and again in the management morning meeting.
During an interview on 12/12/2024 at 10:30 a.m., the OTA said she was unable to local the weight bearing
status for Resident #108. The OTA said staff should be aware of the weight bearing status to prevent further
complications.
Record review of a Baseline Care Plans policy, dated 5/13/2021 and revised on 4/02/2024, indicated
Resident person-centered baseline care plans are developed and implemented for new admission
residents. The baseline care plans will be developed and implemented from minimum healthcare
information necessary to properly care for a resident including, but not limited to initial goals based on
admission orders, admission evaluation/assessments, physician orders, dietary orders, therapy services,
social services, and resident choices.

Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and
actions that can be measured.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record reviews the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive
person-centered care plan for each resident, that includes measurable objectives and timeframes to meet a
resident's medical, nursing, and mental and psychosocial needs that are identified in the comprehensive
assessment for1 of 2 residents (Resident #37) reviewed for Care Plans.
The facility failed to update Resident #37's Care Plan to reflect a history of Staph dermatitis (an infection
caused by staphylococcus bacteria) with interventions for the antibiotic use and the staff to monitor the
resident for possible Staph symptoms.
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of not receiving the care and services they needed.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #37's face sheet, dated 10/10/24, indicated a [AGE] year-old male who was
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Resident #37 had diagnoses which included cerebral infarction (a stroke
resulting from disrupted blood flow in the brain), hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body), chronic
respiratory failure (condition in which the lungs cannot get enough oxygen in the blodd stream) and
diabetes mellitus type 2 (a disease that results in problems controlling blood sugar levels).
Record review of Resident #37's care plan, last revised 07/08/24, indicated he had an ADL self-care deficit
and required total assistance from 2 staff for bed mobility, toileting, transfers, bathing and set up assistance
for eating. The care plan did not indicate a diagnosis of staph dermatitis or interventions.
Record review of Resident #37's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], indicated he could make himself understood
and he usually understood others. Resident #37 had a BIMS score of 9, which meant he had moderately
impaired cognition.
Record review of Resident #37's order summary report, dated 12/10/24, indicated he had an order for
Bactrim DS Oral tablet 800-160mg (Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim) Give 1 tablet by mouth two times a
day for staph dermatitis 14 days.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 02:20 PM, the Medical Director for the facility said he expected the
facility to be aware of Resident #37's diagnosis for staph dermatitis as well as the antibiotic Bactrim DS
while in use. He said he cultured Resident #37 in the past for the infection and did not feel he needed to do
so again because it did not completely go away. The Medical Director said the staff should have been made
aware of the diagnosis when he gave orders for the antibiotic used for staph dermatitis.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 02:47 PM, the DON said Resident #37 should have had the antibiotic
and the staph dermatitis infection on his care plan. She said the MDS nurse was responsible for updating
the care but had been in the hospital. The DON said the failure placed Resident #37 at risk, impeded
resident care, decrease in quality of care, and the nurses not knowing the proper diagnosis

During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 12:58 PM, CNA C said she worked on 06/09/2024, but was not the
CNA who provided care to Resident #14. CNA C said she remembered the CNA who cared for Resident
#14 the day of the fall, but she could not remember her name. CNA C said Resident #14 required 2-person
assistance for bed baths and mobility.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 1:59 PM, CNA E said Resident #14 required 2-person assistance for
her bed baths and repositioning. CNA E said whenever it was hard to turn the residents, she would use 2
people to provide care. CNA E said she did not have her log in to the electronic system. CNA E said
sometimes when they reported at the end of the shift the other CNAs reported to her the level of assistance
the residents required with their ADLs.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:01 PM, CNA F said Resident #14 required 2-person assistance for
her bed baths. CNA F said Resident #14 required one person on one side and one person on the other
because she was totally dependent for mobility. CNA F said if she did not know the level of assistance a
resident required, she would ask the nurse. CNA F said she relied on the nurse to tell her. CNA F said the
level of assistance required by a resident for ADLs should be in the computer. CNA F attempted to
demonstrate where to locate the information but was unable to find it.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:04 PM, RN B said she had been a nurse at the facility for 31 years,
and Resident #14 had always required 2-person assistance with all her ADLs for safety because of the air
bed she had. RN B said most of the time the CNAs could ask the nurses and they could tell them the type
of assistance the residents required. RN B said the information might be in the computer where the CNAs
documented that they used to have a binder with the level of assistance required for the residents ADLS at
the nurses' station, but it was no longer there. RN B said she was not working on 06/09/2024 when
Resident #14 fell.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:08 PM, CNA C said she remembered it was CNA A who provided
care to Resident #14 on 06/09/2024. CNA C said if she was not familiar with a resident, she would ask the
nurse what type of assistance they required for their ADLs. CNA C said there used to be a book at the
nurses' station with the information, but it was no longer there. CNA C said she did not know where in the
electronic system she could find the information regarding the level of assistance a resident required with
their ADLs.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:13 PM, CNA G said she was PRN, and Resident #14 required
2-person total assistance for changing her. CNA G said she usually asked the other CNAs the level of
assistance required by the residents. CNA G said she did not know if there was anywhere they could look,
and they did not have time to look in the electronic system when they started their shift. CNA G said it was
important to know the level of assistance a resident required for their ADLs so they knew what the residents
needed, and they could properly care for them.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:23 PM, the ADON said Resident #14 required 2-person assistance
for her ADLs. The ADON said the staff could look in the [NAME] (electronic system they chart on) for the
information regarding how much assistance the residents required for their ADLs. The ADON said the
CNAs should be aware they could find the information in the [NAME]. The ADON said if the CNAs

During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:26 PM, the DON said Resident #14 required 2-person assistance
for ADLS which included bed mobility and bathing. The DON said the MDS Coordinator was responsible for
ensuring the care plans were updated. The DON said she thought where the care plan indicated bathing
total assistance of 1. 2 staff for transfers in and out of the shower it was saying 1-to-2-person assistance,
but she had only known for Resident #14 to require 2-person assistance. The DON said the care plan
should indicate 2-person assistance. The DON said she did not know what happened on 06/09/2024. The
DON said the MDS Coordinator should have revised Resident #14's care plan after the fall. The DON said
the CNAs should be checking the [NAME] for the level of assistance required, and they should have access
to it. The DON said in the past she verbally provided the CNAs education regarding using the [NAME], but
she had not done an official in-service. The DON said it was important for the staff to know the level of
assistance a resident required for the resident's safety and to prevent injuries to themselves or to the
residents.

incident. The Administrator said she remembered the CNA, the bed bath, and she thought Resident #14
was too close to the edge of the bed. The Administrator said she only remembered the CNA was in the
room and was trying to change the bed and Resident #14 rolled off the bed. The Administrator said the
CNA did not work there anymore, and she could not recall the CNAs name.

Employ staff that are licensed, certified, or registered in accordance with state laws.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure professional staff were certified in
accordance with applicable State laws for 1 (NA EE) of 15 personnel reviewed for licensed nursing.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to ensure NA EE had become a Certified Nurse Aide by passing her certification test.
This failure could place residents at risk of being provided care by staff who were not qualified per state
law.
Findings included:
Record review of NA EE's employee file indicated she was hired on 4/1/24 as a full-time nursing staff
trainee and had no evidence of CNA certification. The employee file indicated NA EE had completed the
CNA training course on 04/26/24 but no evidence of the certification.
During an interview on 12/12/24 at 11:00 AM NA EE said she had been working at the facility from 4/1/24
up until last week on 12/07/24 providing care for residents to include bathing, transfers, incontinent care,
and repositioning. She said the facility notified her on 12/07/24 that she could no longer work as a CNA
until she passed her clinical portion of the CNA course which was scheduled for January 17, 2025.
During an interview on 12/12/24 at 12:43 PM the DON said NA EE was supposed to be working as a
hospitality aide and thought the hospitality aide could work together with a certified CNA, but she said she
found the hospitality aides were not allowed to do so. The DON said she was only aware that she was
observing showers and incontinent care and not performing incontinent care and showers. The DON said
her expectation was for the staff to know if they were uncertified, and they were supposed to grab a
certified staff when residents needed the hands-on care completed. The DON said the failure placed a risk
for resident safety issues and risk for physical harm. The DON said the Human Resources Director
monitored the CNA certifications and the individuals were responsible for ensuring that they were certified.
She said she had a conversation with NA EE and other NAS that had completed the CNA course and
notified them that they could not provide any personal care for residents. The DON said NA EE failed the
skills part of her course on 12/6/24 and she was notified on that day that she could not provide any care.
During an interview on 12/12/24 at 12:54 PM The Administrator said she had a phone conversation with the
aide to ensure she did not provide care on 12/1/24. She said the Human Resource Director was involved
and responsible for monitoring and ensuring the CNAs had their certifications. The expectation was for the
aide to not be providing care for residents as she was told. The Administrator said she did not just let her go
from the position because it was Christmas time and she needed her hours, but she expected her to be
completing hospitality duties. The Administrator said the failure placed risks to the residents' safety and
continuity of care to ensure they were providing proper services.

Employ or obtain outside professional resources to provide services in the nursing home when the facility
does not employ a qualified professional to furnish a required service.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review the facility failed to arrange an appointment with an outside resource for 1 of 1
resident (Resident #108) reviewed for the use of outside resources.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #108's appointment for the orthopedic specialist (specialty for
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders, conditions, and injuries of the skeleton and its associated
structures, including muscles, ligaments, joints, and tendons) was made for her right arm fracture.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving needed medical care.
Findings included:
Record review of a face sheet dated 12/11/2024 indicated Resident #108 was a [AGE] year-old female who
admitted on [DATE] with the diagnoses of a fracture of the right humerus (right upper arm), muscle
weakness, unsteadiness on feet, and the lack of coordination.
Record review of the AHS-Baseline Care Plan dated 11/26/2024 indicated Resident #108 desired to
discharge back home, advance directive status was a full code status, had a risk for ADL/mobility
performance impairment due to a fracture, used a wheelchair as an assistive device, required physical
assistance with bed mobility, transfers, toileting, locomotion, was independent with eating, and was totally
dependent with bathing. The Baseline Care Plan Indicated Resident #108 had risk factors for falls due to
severe weakness/deconditioning and had the potential to fall. The Baseline Care Plan failed to indicate
Resident #108's weight bearing status to the fractured right arm.
Record review of the hospital discharge orders dated 11/26/2024 indicated continue shoulder restraints,
work with physical therapy, and follow up with the orthopedic physician within 1-2 weeks.
Record review of an admission MDS dated [DATE] indicated Resident #108 understood and was
understood by others. The MDS indicated Resident #108's BIMS score was 14 indicating she was not
cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #108 required partial/moderate assistance with toileting
hygiene and bathing, and substantial/maximal assistance with bathing, personal hygiene, and dressing.
During an observation and interview on 12/09/2024 at 3:00 p.m., Resident #108 was sitting in her room.
Resident #108 was wearing an arm sling to her right arm. Resident #108 said she had a fall at the assisted
living facility and fractured her arm. Resident #108 said she had not seen an orthopedic physician since
she admitted and was unsure if an appointment was made.
During a telephone interview on 12/11/2024 at 8:50 a.m., the receptionist at Resident #108's orthopedic
physician's office said a follow up appointment had not been made for Resident #108. The receptionist said
the physician's expectation was the resident should have a follow up appointment within 7-14 days from the
time of the injury.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 2:49 p.m., the Treatment Nurse said she provided care to Resident
#108 daily. The Treatment Nurse said it was important for Resident #108 to have a follow up appointment
with the orthopedic specialist to determine the healing process of the current right arm

fracture ensuring the best of care. The Treatment Nurse said the admitting nurse was responsible for
ensuring the order was completed for the appointment. The Treatment Nurse said without a follow up
appointment nursing and therapy would not know how the bone was healing.
During an interview on 12/11/2024 at 3:09 p.m., the DON said her expectations were when a resident came
in with an appointment, transportation was provided the date to ensure the resident got to the appointment.
The DON said when a resident missed a physician specialist follow up it could cause quality of care issues
when missing care. The DON said in this instance with Resident #108, the nursing staff would be unaware
of how the right arm fracture was healing or not healing. The DON said nursing was responsible for
ensuring a resident's follow up appointments were scheduled.
During an interview on 12/12/2024 at 10:03 a.m., the Administrator said she expected the hospital
discharge appointments to be followed up on to ensure continuity of care. The Administrator said nursing
was responsible for ensuring the appointments were obtained. The Administrator said the admission audit
tool was a tracker tool used to ensure hospital discharge orders were followed.
Record review of the Resident Rights policy dated 2/23/2016 and reviewed on 2/20/2021 indicated the
facility will inform the resident both orally and in writing in a language that the resident understands of his or
her rights and all rules and regulations governing resident conduct and responsibilities during the stay in
the facility .2.b.(iv) The right to receive the services and or items included in the plan of care. 2.e. The right
to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to participate in experimental
research, and to formulate an advance directive. g. Nothing in this paragraph should be construed as the
right of the resident or receive the provision of medical treatment or medical services deemed medically
unnecessary or inappropriate.

Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will
arrange for the provision of hospice services.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and record review, the facility failed to collaborate with hospice representatives and coordinate
the hospice care planning process for each resident receiving hospice services, to ensure the quality of
care for the resident, ensuring communication with the hospice medical director, the resident's attending
physician, and others participating in the provision of care for 1 of 7 residents (Resident #38) reviewed for
hospice services.
The facility failed to maintain Resident #38's hospice binder containing information related to hospice
services provided for the resident such as the most recent plan of care, hospice election form, and
physician recertification.
These deficient practices could place residents who receive hospice services at risk of receiving
inadequate end-of-life care due to a lack of documentation, coordination of care, and communication of
resident needs.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #38's face sheet, dated 12/11/24 indicated Resident #38 was a [AGE] year-old
female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included dementia (the loss of cognitive
functioning - thinking, remembering, and reasoning), depression (sadness), anxiety (uneasiness or fear),
and high blood pressure.
Record review of Resident #38's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 11/23/24, indicated Resident #38 rarely
understood and was rarely understood by others. Resident #38 had short and long-term memory loss
indicating she was cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated Resident #38 required total or extensive
assistance with his ADL's. The MDS indicated Resident #38 was on hospice services.
Record review of Resident #38's comprehensive care plan dated 06/25/24 indicated Resident #38 had a
terminal prognosis and was on hospice services. The intervention was to work cooperatively with the
hospice team to ensure the resident's spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, and social needs were met,
assist with ADLs, and provide comfort measures as needed.
Record review of Resident #38's physician orders dated 06/06/24 indicated an order for {name} hospice.
Record review of Resident #38's hospice binder revealed it did not have the Physician certification of the
terminal illness, care plan, or Hospice election form. The last IDG (Interdisciplinary Group) meeting was
dated 10/25/24. The last recertification was dated 09/04/24-12/02/24.
During an attempted phone interview on 12/10/24 at 12:21 p.m., unable to reach the primary hospice nurse
for Resident #38, a message was left.
During a phone interview on 12/10/24 at 2:14 p.m., the hospice Office Manager said the binders at the
facility should contain a face sheet, the do not resuscitate copy, the IDG meetings, 3074 certifications of
hospice, and any supporting notes or documentation needed for Resident #38. She said they met every two
weeks for the IDG meetings and said the documentation should be updated at least

every 2 weeks after the IDG meetings. She said she printed the IDG meetings, and the nurse's and aide's
notes, and gave them to the nurse to bring to the facility. She said it was important to have the binders at
the facility to help the facility know the care and services they were providing.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 11:58 a.m., LVN W said the hospice book should include the code
status, bath schedules, sign-in sheet for the nurses and aides, the medication list with their orders, diets,
and face sheets. She said any information the hospice company had for Resident #38 should be at the
facility because our care was combined, and we needed to ensure we were meeting the needs of our
residents.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 12:08 p.m., the DON said she expected the hospice documents to be at
the facility. The DON said it was the responsibility of the hospice company to ensure their documents were
at the facility timely and then it was the nurse manager's responsibility to ensure that was being completed.
The DON said the failure to ensure those documents were at the facility was due to a lack of
communication with the facility and the hospice company. She said all information done by hospice should
be at the facility for care coordination.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 3:32 p.m., the Administrator said it was the facility's responsibility to
ensure all hospice documents were up to date. She said the nurse managers were the overseers of the
process. She said the books should be updated because they reflect the care the resident should be
receiving.
Record review of the facility policy titled, Coordination of Hospice Services, dated 03/12/22, indicated,
Policy: When a resident chooses to receive hospice care and services, the facility will coordinate and
provide care in cooperation with hospice staff in order to promote the resident's highest practicable
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being. Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines:1. The facility
maintains written agreements with hospice providers that specify the care and services to be provided and
the process for hospice and nursing home communication of necessary information regarding the resident's
care. 2. The facility and hospice provider will coordinate a plan of care and will implement interventions in
accordance with the resident's needs, goals, and recognized standards of practice in consultation with the
resident's attending physician/practitioner and resident's representative, to the extent possible. 3. The plan
of care will identify the care and services that each entity will provide in order to meet the needs of the
resident and his/her expressed desire for hospice care. a. The hospice provider retains primary
responsibility for the provision of hospice care and services that are necessary for the care of the resident's
terminal illness and related conditions. b. The facility retains primary responsibility for implementing those
aspects of care that are not related to the duties of the hospice.

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
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 2 of 4
residents (Residents #47 and Resident #3) reviewed for infection control practices.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure CNA Q used proper hand hygiene between glove changes while she provided
incontinent care for Resident #47.
2. The facility failed to ensure CNA P and LVN R complied with Enhanced Barrier Precautions when
providing incontinence care for Resident #3
These failures could place residents at risk of exposure to communicable diseases, cross-contamination,
and infections.
Findings included:
1.Record review of Resident #47's face sheet dated 12/11/24 indicated she was a [AGE] year-old female
who admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (disease of
the lungs that causes chronic respiratory symptoms and decreased airflow), bipolar disorder (mental
disease characterized by periods of deep depression and elevated moods), thrombocytopenia (abnormally
low levels of blood platelets), and high blood pressure.
Record review of Resident #47's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated she was able to make herself
understood and usually understood others. The MDS also indicated she had a BIMS score of 8 which
meant she had moderate cognitive impairment. The MDS also indicated she was frequently incontinent of
bowel and bladder.
Record review of Resident #47's care plan dated 09/22/22 indicated she had an ADL self-care deficit and
required maximal assistance of 1 staff for incontinent care.
During an observation on 12/11/24 at 01:44 PM CNA Q provided incontinent care for Resident #47. During
the procedure CNA Q changed gloves between clean and dirty correctly but failed to use proper hand
hygiene prior to donning new gloves.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 01:58 PM CNA Q said she should have used hand sanitizer each time
she changed her gloves as they were supposed to. CNA Q said she thought about her needing her hand
sanitizer during care, but she had left it in the dining room. CNA Q said the purpose of using the hand
sanitizer was to prevent infection between the clean and the dirty surfaces.
During an interview on 12/11/24 at 02:44 PM the DON said her expectation was for the staff to wear the
proper PPE and to follow the policy for incontinent care. She said all CNAs should always use hand
sanitizer between glove changes as well as before and after care. The DON said the failure placed Resident
#47 at risk for cross contamination or infection. The DON said the DON or the ADON may be responsible
for ensuring the CNAs provide proper incontinent care but she was unsure because she had only been
employed in her position for about a month.

During an interview on 12/11/24 at 02:58 PM the Administrator said she expected the CNAs to perform
hand hygiene between glove changes. The Administrator said the DON or designee were responsible for
insuring CNAs were providing incontinent care properly. The Administrator said the failure placed a risk for
possibility of germs being exchanged and infection.
During an interview on 12/12/24 at 11:35 AM the Administrator stated the facility currently did not have any
incontinent care proficiency check offs for any CNA.
2.Record review of Resident #3's face sheet, dated 12/11/24 indicated he was an [AGE] year-old male
admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses which included Moisture
Associated Skin Damage also known as MASD (e.g., incontinence-associated dermatitis also known as
IAD, is the general term for inflammation or skin erosion caused by prolonged exposure to a source of
moisture such as urine, stool, sweat, wound drainage), stroke, and glaucoma (a group of eye diseases that
can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of your eye called the optic nerve).
Record review of Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 12/05/24, indicated Resident #3 usually
understood and was usually understood by others. Resident #3's BIMS score was a 05 indicating he was
severely cognitively impaired. The MDS indicated he required assistance with his ADLs such as toileting
and hygiene. The MDS indicated Resident #3 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder. The MDS
indicated Resident #3 had a wound.
Record review of Resident #3's Physician order dated 11/04/24 indicated: Cleanse wound to the penis with
normal saline, pat dry, apply Silver Sulfadiazine daily, and monitor for any signs of infection.
Record review of Resident #3's comprehensive care plan dated 10/31/24 indicated, that he required
Enhanced Barrier Precautions related to a non-pressure wound. The interventions were for staff to ensure
EBP signage was posted outside the resident's room and above the head of the resident's bed. Ensure
PPE was available for use on the resident and wear a gown and gloves during high-contact resident care
activities.
During an observation on 12/11/24 at 1:32 p.m., Resident #3 had a sign for Enhanced Barrier Precautions
also known as EBP which indicated they recommended staff to wear gowns and gloves while providing
care for any resident who had any of the following: 1) infection or 2) a wound or indwelling medical device,
even if the resident is not known to be infected) outside his door.
During an observation and interview on 12/11/24 at 1:33 p.m., CNA P and LVN R entered Resident #3's
room to provide incontinent care. Resident #3 had a sign above his bed revealing his EBP status. CNA P
nor LVN R wore a gown while providing care to Resident #3 during incontinent care. CNA P and LVN R said
they were unaware of Resident #3's EBP status. They said after the state surveyor pointed out the sign
above his head that they should have worn a gown and gloves during incontinent care to protect the
resident. They said they were aware of the precautions they should use when a resident was on EBP but
did not realize Resident #3 was on EBP. They said the sign was on the door and the PPE equipment was
hanging on the door.
During an interview on 12/03/24 at 12:08 p.m., the DON said she expected staff to follow the precautions
for EBP. She said they had yellow signs outside the door letting staff know that a resident was on EBP. She
said they should wear gloves and gowns when providing care and wash their hands before
