record review, interviews and observation, the facility failed to ensure residents (Resident #63) was able to
communicate in preferred Language to caregivers for 1 of 4 residents reviewed for resident rights.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #63 who was English speaking only had difficulty communicating with primarily Spanish-speaking
caregivers using communication tools.
This failure could place residents at risk for not being informed about care and treatment that may affect
resident's well-being and being able to participate in daily plan of care and delay in treatment.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #63's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] and
re-admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's Disease (progressive Brain disorder that slowly
destroys memory and thinking skills), Bipolar Disorder (mental health disease of high and low mood
swings), Diabetes Type II (bodies difficulty to regular sugar), Hypertension (high blood pressure), Atrial
Fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm), lymphedema (tissue swelling caused by fluid buildup), encephalopathy
(brain disease or damage).
Record review of Quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed BIMS (Basic Interview of Mental
Status) Score of 11 indicating moderate cognitive impairment and required supervision with self-feeding,
toilet hygiene, dressing, bed mobility, bathing and gait.
During an interview with Resident #63 on 5/20/25 at 10:30 a.m., Resident #63 stated she had difficulty
communicating with staff who are non-English speaking.
An observation of CNA H on 5/20/25 at 12:25 p.m., revealed that she did not read or speak English but that
she had an application on her phone to facilitate communication with non-Spanish speaking residents. CNA
H was asked to demonstrate the use of the translation application with Resident #8 but she was unable to
manipulate the translation application and effectively communicate with Resident #8.
An observation of CNA I on 5/20/25 at 12:45 p.m., revealed she did not speak English but she had an
application on her phone to communicate with non-Spanish speaking residents. CNA I was asked to
demonstrate the translation application with Resident #8 and was unable to effectively communicate
questions to Resident #8.

Allow resident to participate in the development and implementation of his or her person-centered plan of
care.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
record review and resident interview, the facility failed to ensure resident of the right to participate in the
development and implementation of his/her person-centered plan of care for 1 of 5 (Resident #61)
residents reviewed for resident rights.
The facility failed to invite and include the input of Resident #61 as members of the interdisciplinary team in
Care Conference meetings.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving the interventions, treatments, and care necessary
for the resident to reach their highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being by not
involving the resident in Care Plan Conference meetings.
The findings included:
Record review of Resident #61's face sheet date 5/22/25 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted on
[DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE]. Diagnoses included peripheral Neuropathy (a condition that damages
the nerves), hypertension (high blood pressure), dysphagia (swallowing difficulty), osteomyelitis (infection of
bone marrow), Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (enlarged prostate causing urination difficulty in men).
Record review of BIMS (Basic Interview for Mental Status) dated 3/12/25 revealed Score of 15 indicating
intact cognition.
During an interview on 5/20/25 at 10:30 a.m., Resident #61 stated he had not been invited to a Care Plan
meeting in a long time. Resident #61 stated he has gone to one Meeting sometime last year.
During an interview on 5/21/25 at 3:15 p.m., the MDS Nurse stated that she kept a copy of care plan letters
that were sent to the Responsible Party. MDS Nurse verified that the resident's son did receive an invitation
to the Care Plan meeting held on 1/8/25 and 4/9/25. The MDS Nurse stated that the son did not attend the
review meeting or voice concerns. The MDS Nurse stated that Interdisciplinary Team Members should have
invited Resident #61 to the meeting as he was cognitively able to participate in individual plan of care.
During an interview on 5/22/25 at 11:30 p.m., the DON stated that she expected Care Plan Meeting to
include the resident if he/she were cognitively able to participate in plan of care regardless of whether or
not the family member was informed of the meeting.
During an interview on 5/22/25 at 11:50 a.m., ADMIN stated her expectation was for IDT (Interdisciplinary
Team) members involve residents who were alert and able to participate in the care plan review meetings.
Record review of Care Plan Signature sheets revealed that the last time Resident #61 attended a Care
Plan meeting was August 2024.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the use of the least restrictive
alternative for the least amount of time and document ongoing re-evaluation of the need for restraints for 1
of 1 (Resident #81) residents reviewed for restraints.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide assessment, care planning, and ongoing re-evaluation of the use of a seatbelt
restraint for Resident #81.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #81's face sheet dated 5/20/2025 revealed a [AGE] year old female, initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (a severe
disorder characterized by multiple seizure types and cognitive and behavioral problems); dependence on
wheelchair; aphasia (difficulties with speech); and gastrostomy status (a surgical opening in the abdomen
to allow for the intake of food and medication directly into the stomach).
Review of Resident #81's quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the BIMS score was not
assessed due to the resident's communication deficits. Resident #81 was assessed as not using a trunk
restraint.
Record review of Resident #81's comprehensive care plan revealed the following related to the seatbelt
restraint:
a. Problem: [Resident #81] is at risk for falls r/t seizures, poor safety awareness, confusion (date initiated:
12/01/2024). Interventions: Make sure resident has hear seat belt on when she sits up in her wheelchair;
she has a medical need for it (date initiated 12/02/2024).
b. Problem: [Resident #81] has a seizure disorder and wears a soft helmet and has a wheelchair seat belt
for safety (date initiated 12/11/2024). Interventions: Ensure [Resident #81]'s seat belt is in place when she
is in her wheelchair for her safety related to falls. Respect her right to refuse to wear (date initiated
04/02/2025). Restraint assessment related to wheelchair belt per facility policy date initiated 04/02/2025.
The comprehensive care plan did not include interventions to prevent and address any risks related to the
use of the restraint, how to meet the needs of the resident during periods of restraint,
monitoring/supervision to be provided during the use of the restraint, or parameters for release of the
restraint.
A review of active physician's orders did not reveal an order to apply the seatbelt restraint or parameters for
monitoring or removal.
Record review of Resident #81's MAR and TAR for May 2025 revealed scheduled tasks as follows:
a. Resident to wear seatbelt when out of bed; it benefits outweigh any risks [sic]/every shift (start date

No additional monitoring or directives for the seatbelt were contained within the MAR or TAR.
Review of all assessments documented in the EMR from Resident #81's admission on [DATE] through the
survey date did not reveal an assessment specifically related to restraint use. The skilled nursing
assessment documented on 5/21/2025 by the ADON was reviewed to determine if this assessment
included restraints, but it was not revealed to be an topic covered by this assessment.
A scanned document dated 12/2/2024 titled physical restraint/DME/monitoring device consent revealed a
checkbox for physical restraint and a check mark indicating permission for the facility to use restraints as
needed in accordance with the resident's comprehensive care plan and physician's order. The area
underneath type of restraint to be used (list only one) was not filled in with the type of restraint. This
document was signed by the resident's mother and the ADON.
An additional scanned document titled Pre-restraint Assessment/Screening, dated 11/29/2024, listed a
diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and type of restraint currently used as seatbelt. The time
parameters when used was entered as when placed in w/c. The reason for restraint was documented as
seizure disorder and a check mark was documented next to balance problem. In the next section, the
document asked, what measures were implemented prior to restraint use? The author documented
resident admitted with seatbelt. The recommended plan of action was documented as continue to use
seatbelt for seizure disorders to keep resident from falling. This document was signed on 12/2/2024 by the
physician and four others identified as the interdisciplinary care team.
Resident #81 was observed in her wheelchair wearing the seatbelt restraint on 5/20/2025 at 12:03 PM self
propelling through the communal dining areas. She was again observed 5/22/2025 at 9:00 AM in the
communal sitting area of the east hall near in her wheelchair with the seatbelt restraint in place, and
5/22/2025 at 1:07 PM in the dining area eating lunch in her wheelchair with the seatbelt restraint in place.
During an interview on 5/21/25 at 9:50 a.m., LVN A stated Resident #81 used the seatbelt restraint every
time she in the wheelchair. LVN A stated there is a task within the TAR for staff to document the resident is
wearing the restraint and that there should be a physician's order for application of the restraint.
PT reported in an interview on 5/21/2025 at 11:17 that she did not think Resident #81 could unlatch the
seatbelt restraint independently. She stated that the resident's mother was adamant about the use of the
seatbelt restraint due to previous falls prior to admission. She reported no concerns about entrapment
when Resident #81 has seizures while restrained in the wheelchair and no injuries to the resident related to
restraint use since admission.
In an interview conducted on 5/22/2025 at 12:30 PM, the DON explained Resident #81 had been using the
wheelchair since admission to the facility due to falls with injury prior to admission, and the restraint use
was continued upon admission at the request of the resident's mother. She stated there had been no less
restrictive alternatives attempted prior to the use of restraint at the facility. She reported there was no formal
documentation process for the supervision and monitoring of the restraint while it is in place, but the staff
supervise and monitor the restraint use throughout the day and also by the rounding performed by the
DON. She said the seatbelt restraint was only removed at

the end of the day, when the resident was going to bed, and she previously made one attempt to perform a
test of the resident's ability to independently release the restraint, but the resident refused to participate.
The DON stated the need for the seatbelt restraint was periodically re-evaluated but that alternatives were
not considered because Resident #81's mother requested continued use. The DON confirmed a physician's
order and care planning for the restraint should be present in the EMR.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of the facility policy titled Restraints (date implemented 8/15/2022) revealed the following:
a. Behavioral interventions should be used and exhausted prior to application of a physical restraint.
b. Before a resident is restrained, the facility will determine .
a. How the use of restraints would treat the medical symptom
b. The length of time the restraint is anticipated to be used to treatt the medical symptom, who may
apply the restraint, and the time and frequency that the restraint will be released.
c. The type of direct monitoring and supervision that will be provided during use of the restraint.
d. How the resident will request staff assistance and how his/her needs will be met while the restraint
is in place
c. The resident's record needs to include documentation that less restrictive alternatives were attempted to
treat the medical symptom but were ineffective, ongoing re-evaluation of the need for the restraint, and the
effectiveness of the restraint in treating the medical symptoms. The care plan should be updated
accordingly
to include the development and implementation of interventions, to address any risks related to the use of
the restraint.

assessments.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to document the use of a restraint device in Resident #81's quarterly MDS dated [DATE].
This failure could place residents at risk of improper or incorrect care and services necessary for their
physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #81's face sheet dated 5/20/2025 revealed a [AGE] year old female, initially
admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (a severe
disorder characterized by multiple seizure types and cognitive and behavioral problems); dependence on
wheelchair; aphasia (difficulties with speech); and gastrostomy status (a surgical opening in the abdomen
to allow for the intake of food and medication directly into the stomach). Review of Resident #81's quarterly
MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score was not assessed due to the resident's communication deficits.
Question P0100 item E. of the MDS (trunk restraint used in chair or out of bed) was assessed as 0. not
used. No active physician order was located within the EMR for application of the seatbelt. Resident #81's
comprehensive care plan included an intervention dated 12/02/2024 as follows:
Make sure resident has her seat belt on when she sits up in her wheelchair; she has a medical need for it.
A scanned document dated 12/2/2024 titled physical restraint/DME/monitoring device consent revealed a

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
A scanned document dated 12/2/2024 titled physical restraint/DME/monitoring device consent revealed a
checkbox for physical restraint and a check mark indicating permission for the facility to use restraints as
needed in accordance with the resident's comprehensive care plan and physician's order. The area
underneath type of restraint to be used (list only one) was not filled in with the type of restraint. This
document was signed by the resident's mother and the ADON.
Residents Affected - Few
Resident #81 was observed in her wheelchair wearing the seatbelt restraint on 5/20/2025 at 12:03 PM self
propelling through the communal dining areas. She was again observed 5/22/2025 at 9:00 AM in the
communal sitting area of the east hall near in her wheelchair with the seatbelt restraint in place, and
5/22/2025 at 1:07 PM in the dining area eating lunch in her wheelchair with the seatbelt restraint in place.
In an interview on 5/21/24 at 9:50 a.m., LVN A stated Resident #81 used the seatbelt restraint every time
she was in the wheelchair. LVN A stated there is a task within the TAR for staff to document the resident
was wearing the restraint and that there should be a physician's order for application of the restraint. She
stated the application of the seatbelt restraint is just known by the facility staff. She was not aware of any
additional documentation or assessment requirements for the seatbelt restraint.
CM Nurse was identified by the facility as responsible for care plans, and she was interviewed on 5/22/2025
at 10:50 AM. She stated the seatbelt restraint is addressed in the problem area of seizure disorder. She
stated there was no care planning for the seatbelt as a restraint.
In an interview conducted on 5/22/2025 at 12:30 PM, the DON explained Resident #81 had been using the
wheelchair since admission to the facility due to falls with injury prior to admission, and the restraint use
was continued upon admission at the request of the resident's mother. She stated there had been no less
restrictive alternatives attempted prior to the use of restraint at the facility. She reported there was no formal
documentation process for the supervision and monitoring of the restraint while it is in place, but the staff
supervised and monitored the restraint use throughout the day and also by the rounding performed by the
DON. She said the seatbelt restraint was only removed at the end of the day, when the resident was going
to bed, and she previously made one attempt to perform a test of the resident's ability to independently
release the restraint but the resident refused to participate. The DON stated the need for the seatbelt
restraint was periodically re-evaluated but that alternatives were not considered because Resident #81's
mother requested continued use. The DON confirmed a physician's order and care planning for the restraint
should be present in the EMR.
2. Review of Resident #81's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score was not assessed due to
the resident's communication deficits.
Record review of the resident's comprehensive care plan, date printed 5/20/2025, did not reveal care
planning to prevent dislodgement of the g-tube. Further record review of the assigned tasks within the
electronic medical record did not reveal a task to check placement / presence of the abdominal binder.
Record review of Resident #81's progress notes indicated the resident required hospitalization on 4/25/25
and 5/15/25 for g-tube replacement. Progress notes did not indicate how the tube became dislodged.

Resident #81 was observed on 5/22/2025 at 1:07 PM with the abdominal binder in place.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
LVN A stated in an interview conducted on 5/21/2025 at 9:50 AM that Resident #81 would occasionally pull
on the g-tube, but she had not witnessed Resident #81 intentionally dislodge the device. She stated
Resident #81 was wearing an abdominal binder at this time, to prevent dislodgement of the device, and
nursing staff would check for placement out of routine. She reported there was no task within the electronic
medical record to check for placement.
Residents Affected - Few
In an interview on 5/22/2025 at 10:50 AM, CP Nurse identified as being primarily responsible for
maintaining the care plans for residents. CP Nurse reported her process for updating care plans included
running a daily audit report and attendance to daily morning meetings. She stated she had not yet made
any updates to Resident #81's care plan regarding potential dislodgement. She also stated she wanted to
do more research on the issue to ensure the correct interventions were in place.
In an interview with the DON on 5/22/2025 at 12:30 PM, she reported Resident #81 was now wearing an
abdominal binder to prevent the g-tube from being dislodged. She stated the staff should be checking fore
placement of the abdominal binder, and the task should be present in the electronic medical record to
ensure it is completed routinely.
Record review of the facility policy titled Restraints (date implemented 8/15/2022) revealed the following:
The resident's record needs to include documentation that less restrictive alternatives were attempted to
treat
the medical symptom but were ineffective, ongoing re-evaluation of the need for the restraint, and the
effectiveness of the restraint in treating the medical symptoms. The care plan should be updated
accordingly to include the development and implementation of interventions, to address any risks related to
the use of the restraint.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that residents receive proper
treatment and assistive devices to maintain vision abilities for 1 (Resident #12) of 1 residents reviewed for
quality of care.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility failed to provide necessary arrangements to repair broken eyeglasses for Resident #12.
This failure could lead to injury and/or decreased quality of life.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #12's face sheet dated 5/20/2025 revealed an [AGE] year old male, admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. Relevant diagnoses included unsteadiness on feet and muscle wasting and atrophy.
Review of Resident #12's quarterly MDS assessment submitted 4/1/2025, reflected a BIMS score of 09,
indicating moderately impaired cognition. Resident #12 was assessed as having vision impairment, and the
resident required corrective lenses.
Record of review of a progress note dated 5/2/2025, written by LSW, revealed the following:
One of [Resident #12]'s ear pieces on his glasses is missing. Referred to [optometrist].
Record review of a scanned document titled Request for Services/Consultation dated 5/12/2025 revealed a
written request for an optometry appointment due to broken eyeglasses and decreased visual acuity.
In an interview on 5/20/2025 at 10:10 AM, Resident #12 stated his glasses were broken approximately a
month prior. He said he had reported the issue to the facility and was not aware of an appointment to get
the glasses fixed. The resident reported difficulty watching television and seeing other objects in the
distance but stated he was able to ambulate/use wheelchair and had not fallen or injured himself due to not
having glasses.
During observation on 5/20/2025 at 10:10 a.m., Resident #12's glasses were observed and noted to be
missing both ear pieces required to affix the glasses to the resident's face.
In an interview on 5/21/2025 at 10:00 AM. with the LSW, the LSW confirmed awareness of the broken
eyeglasses. She did not know the glasses were missing both ear pieces and felt that the glasses were in
usable condition when missing only one side piece. She confirmed a referral had been done for an
optometry appointment but stated an appointment time had not been set. She estimated the typical timeline
from referral to appointment time to be a couple of months and said she could make alternative
arrangements for a different optometry provider due to the glasses missing both ear pieces.
In a subsequent interview with LSW on 5/22/2025 at 11:00 AM, the LSW reported she had not yet
confirmed an optometry appointment. the LSW said she was going to arrange for transportation to take
Resident #12 to a different location that would allow for evaluation without an appointment.

Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, resident and staff interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that residents'
environment remained as free of accident hazards as possible for 1 of 4 residents (Resident #14) reviewed
for quality of care.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #14 had cushioned hip covers (hipsters) in place at all times.
This failure could place residents at an increased risk for injury related to falls.
The findings include:
Record review of Resident #14's face sheet dated 5/22/25 revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted
[DATE] and readmitted [DATE]. Diagnoses included Alzheimer's dementia (memory loss that affects
learning and memory), COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, a progressive respiratory

body dressing and transfers, and maximum assistance in toileting, bathing, lower body dressing and bed
mobility.
Record review of Resident #14's BIMS (Basic Interview for Mental Status) assessment dated [DATE]
revealed she had a score of 3 indicating severe cognitive impairment.
Record review of Resident #14's Comprehensive Care Plan, printed 5/22/25 revealed the resident was at
risk for injury related to falls due to osteoporosis (a condition where the bones become thin and weak,
increasing the risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hip, and wrist) and one intervention was to wear
padded hip protectors to prevent hip fractures.
Record review of physician's order dated 12/27/2024 revealed order to Ensure resident is wearing hipsters
(cushioned hip protectors) at all times every shift for fall precautions.
In observations on 5/20/25 at 10:06 a.m., 5/21/25 at 12:36 p.m., and 5/22/25 at 10:00 a.m., hipsters were

Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
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 reviews, the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate below 5%
for 28 medication administration opportunities with 3 errors resulting in a 10% medication error rate, for 2 of
4 (Residents #1 and #37) reviewed for medication administration.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to ensure Resident #1 received medications Amiodarone (used to regulate rapid and/or
irregular heart rhythms) and Apixaban (used to prevent blood clots) as ordered by the physician.
2. The facility failed to ensure Resident #37 received medication Xifaxan (used to treat the brain function
decline that can occur secondary to liver damage) as ordered by the physician.
These failures could result in residents not receiving the intended therapeutic benefits of medications.
Findings included:
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 5/22/2025 revealed an [AGE] year-old female, admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. The resident had relevant diagnoses of atrial fibrillation (a condition that causes rapid,
irregular heartbeats and can cause blood clots) and cerebral infarction (a blood clot in the brain causing
brain damage).
Record review of Resident #1's quarterly MDS assessment, submitted 4/23/2025, revealed a BIMS score of
12, indicating moderately impaired cognition.
Review of Resident #1's active physician's orders reflected the following:
a. Amiodarone Hcl oral tablet 200mg; give 1 tablet by mouth one time a day for arrythmias (order date
4/22/2025)
b. Apixaban oral tablet 2.5mg; give 1 tablet by mouth two times a day for a-fib (order date 4/22/2025)
During an observation of medication administration on 5/22/2025 at 9:03 AM for Resident #1, LVN E was
observed withholding Apixaban. LVN E confirmed that the medication was not found in the medication cart
and was out of stock in the back-up supply within the e-kit.
LVN E was interviewed simultaneously to the observation and stated the facility process was to order
medications prior to having zero tablets available for administration. Since the medication had not been
ordered, she stated she would order it immediately, notify the DON or ADON and the provider, and the
resident should receive the next scheduled dose but would not receive that morning dose of Apixaban.
Also, during the same observation of Resident #1's medication administration, LVN E was observed
witholding Amiodarone after taking Resident #1's blood pressure and receiving a value of 110/79. In an
interview performed simultaneously, LVN E stated the resident's blood pressure was below the ordered
parameters for the medication, and the medication would not be given.

Residents Affected - Some
During a record review occurring after the observation, it was revealed the physician did not include blood
pressure parameters for Amiodarone, as the medication was ordered for treatment of the resident's heart
rhythm.
Record review of Resident #37's face sheet dated 5/22/2025 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with a relevant diagnosis of unspecified cirrhosis of liver (progressive damage to the
liver inhibiting proper function that leads to decline in brain function).
Review of Resident #37's quarterly MDS assessment submitted on 2/28/2025 revealed a BIMS score of 14,
indicating intact cognition.
Review of Resident #37's active physician orders reflected an order for Xifaxan tablet 550mg; give 1 tablet
by mouth two times a day for cirrhosis.
During an observation of medication administration for Resident #37 on 5/22/2025 at 9:26 AM, LVN E was
unable to locate the Xifaxan for administration. In a simultaneous interview, LVN E stated the medication
should have been ordered prior to having zero tablets available for administration. She also reported that
medication was not included in the facility's stock on back-up medications for emergencies, so she would
re-order and notify the DON or ADON as well as the provider.
In an interview with the DON on 5/22/2025 at 9:10 AM, the DON stated the facility used a local pharmacy in
order to receive out of stock medications needed for administration. She said the medications would be

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to handle and transport linens so as to prevent
the spread of infection and to maintain an infection prevention and control program to provide a safe and
sanitary environment to help prevent the developement and transmission of communicable diseases and
infections for 3 of 7 residents (Residents #15, 75 and 139) reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to ensure staff put soiled linen of Residents #15 and #75 into a container or bag prior to
transporting.
2. The facility failed to ensure staff utilized PPE when providing high-contact care for Resident #139, whom
was identified as requiring EBP.
These failures could lead to the spread of infection and illness.
Findings included:
1. Record review of Resident #15's face sheet dated 5/21/2025 revealed a [AGE] year-old male admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with relevant diagnoses that included need for assistance with personal care and
gastrostomy (surgical opening in the abdomen allowing for intake of food/medications directly into the
stomach). Review of the resident's quarterly MDS submitted on 2/19/2025 indicated the MDS was not
assessed due to communication deficits.
On 5/22/2025 at 6:41 AM, CNA C was observed carrying a blue blanket and a clear bag containing other
linen down the hallway with bare hands. The blanket was not contained inside of a bag. CNA C entered the
room where the facility stored soiled linen and returned to the hallway without the items.
CNA C was immediately interviewed following the observation, at 6:42 AM. CNA C stated the facility policy
is to put linen into a bag prior to transporting, but she did not due to the size of the blanket. She reported
there are bags large enough to accommodate bigger items but she did not have one immediately available
so she carried it unbagged. CNA C reported ongoing training regarding infection prevention and control,
and she stated carrying soiled linen in the hallway could cause the spread of infection.
Record review of Resident #75's face sheet dated 5/22/2025 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to
the facility on [DATE] with a relevant diagnosis of spina bifida (a congenital defect of the spinal cord).
Review of the resident's quarterly MDS submitted 2/19/2025 reflected a BIMS score of 15, indicating intact
cognition.
On 5/21/2025, the LSC team observed CNA F removing soiled linen from Resident #75's room. CNA F
threw the linen from the room into the hallway, then picked up the unbagged linen with bare hands and took
it to the soiled storage area. CNA F was not observed performing hand hygiene after this task. CNA F left
the facility before the health survey team could perform an interview.
In an interview on 5/22/2025 with the DON/Assistant Infection Preventionist, she reported that staff are
expected to put soiled linen into plastic bags prior to transporting. She also reported that larger sized plastic
bags are available for use by staff and that staff are expected to perform hand hygiene after handling soiled
linen. She indicated the risk to residents of not properly handling
