F 0656 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Develop and implement a complete care plan that meets all the resident's needs, with timetables and actions that can be measured. Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan (written plan that guides staff on daily care and safety based on the resident's needs) for one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) to address Resident 1's refusals of care, treatment, and participation in a care conference (a meeting to discuss the resident's plan of care), which prevented Resident 1 from receiving appropriate care, treatment, and care planning. This failure placed Resident 1 at risk for worsening of underlying conditions, overall health decline, and preventable complications. Findings: A review of Resident 1's admission Record, indicated Resident 1 was admitted to the facility with a diagnosis that included chronic kidney disease stage 3 B (kidneys are moderately to severely damaged and are not working well to filter waste from the blood), asthma (long-term breathing condition that makes it hard to breathe due to narrowed airways), hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side (weakness or paralysis on the right side of the body caused by a stroke, affecting the side normally used for the most for daily activities) , essential hypertension (high blood pressure with no single known cause), post-traumatic stress disorder (mental health condition caused by a traumatic event that leads to ongoing fear, anxiety, and emotional distress), type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar where the body still has the hormone that controls blood sugar but cannot keep blood sugar at a normal level).Review of Resident 1's Physical Therapy PT Evaluation & Plan of Treatment, dated 11/25/25, in the section, Assessment Summary.Reason for Skilled Services, the record indicated, .

The progress notes indicated that from 11/25/25 to 12/20/25, Resident 1 refused his morning medications. The progress notes on 11/26/25 at 2:59 AM, indicated Resident 1 requested not to be disturbed. The progress notes on 12/1/25 at 5:04 AM indicated Resident 1 refused a blood draw. The progress notes on 12/2/25 at 3:53 PM indicated Resident 1 refused to participate in a care conference. LN 1 stated that Resident 1's refusal of care, treatment and participation in a care conference required a care plan with effective interventions to encourage Resident 1 to accept care, treatment, and participation in a care conference. During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/20/26 at 12:45 PM with LN 1, Resident 1's care plans were reviewed. LN 1 stated that Resident 1 did not have a care plan to address refusals of care, treatment, and participation in a care conference. LN 1 further stated that without a care plan to address Resident 1's refusals of care, treatment and participation in care conference, Resident 1 was at risk for health decline.During an interview on 1/20/26 at 1:36 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that when a resident refused care and treatment, nursing staff were expected to assess the resident and initiate a care plan to address Page 1 of 4 555080 555080 01/20/2026 Tracy Nursing and Rehabilitation Center 545 West Beverly Place Tracy, CA 95376

F 0880 Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to practice appropriate infection prevention and control measures for one of three sampled residents (Resident 2) when two staff members did not perform hand hygiene (cleaning hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer to remove germs and prevent the spread of infection) before and after entering and exiting Resident 2's room to perform care tasks for Resident 2, who was under Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP-an infection-control strategy used in nursing homes to help stop the spread of hard-to-treat infection by requiring extra safety steps, such as wearing gowns and gloves during close care).This failure had the potential to spread infection and cause health problems for the residents in the facility. Findings: A review of Resident 2's admission Record, indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses that included urinary tract infection (infection of the bladder or urinary system), unspecified Escherichia Coli as the cause of diseases (type of bacteria that can cause infection), cellulitis of buttock (bacterial skin infection causing redness swelling, and pain), local infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (infection involving the skin and tissue under the skin), resistance to multiple antimicrobial drugs (infection that does not respond well to several antibiotics), pressure ulcer of right buttock stage 4 (severe open wound that extends deep into tissue and muscle, Clostridium Perfringes as the cause of diseases (bacteria that can cause serious tissue and wound infections). During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/20/26 at 10:39 AM with the Director of Staff Development (DSD) by the door of Resident 2's room, an EBP sign was posted on the outside of Resident 2's room. The DSD entered Resident 2's room to respond to an activated resident's call light without performing hand hygiene, turned off the call light, and exited Resident 2's room without performing hand hygiene. The DSD stated she had not performed hand hygiene upon exiting Resident 2's room under EBP and the DSD stated hand hygiene was supposed to be performed to prevent the spread of infections in the facility.During a concurrent observation and interview on 1/20/26 at 11:55 AM with Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA)1 in the hallway by the door of Resident 2's room, an EBP sign was posted outside Resident 2's room. CNA 1 picked up a meal tray from the meal cart in the hallway and entered Resident 2's room and delivered the meal tray. CNA 1 placed the meal tray on Resident 2's over-bed table and assisted Resident 2 with meal preparation. CNA 1 then exited Resident 2's room and had not performed hand hygiene and approached the meal cart in the hallway. CNA 1 stated she forgot to perform hand hygiene after she exited the room and before she handled another resident's meal tray. CNA 1 further stated that when she did not perform hand hygiene before food handling and after contact with Resident 2's environment under EBP, other residents were placed at risk for infection. During interview on 1/20/26 at 12:12 PM with the Infection Prevention Nurse (IP), the IP stated that staff were required to perform hand hygiene before they entered and after they exited a resident's room and before and after they performed any task for residents. The IP further stated failure to perform hand hygiene placed other residents at risk for infection.During interview on 1/20/26 at 1:36 PM with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated that staff were required to perform hand hygiene as part of standard precautions (basic infection prevention steps to stop the spread of germs) to break the infection cycle and prevent the spread of infection. A review of facility's policy and procedure (P&P), titled Enhanced Barrier Precaution, revised on 6/20/24, the P&P indicated .To 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.Facility staff shall post a visual alert by the resident's door indicating the high contact resident care.Residents with the following criteria.that placed them at higher risk.Wounds.A review of facility's P&P, titled, Residents Affected - Few 555080 Page 3 of 4 555080 01/20/2026 Tracy Nursing and Rehabilitation Center 545 West Beverly Place Tracy, CA 95376
