F 0558 Reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. 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 needs were accommodated for 2 of 34 sampled residents (Resident 19 and Resident 2) who had impaired vision, when Resident 19's and Resident 2's call light (a device used to request assistance from facility staff) were not accessible. This failure resulted in Resident 19 and Resident 2 experiencing frustration and anxiety about not having needs met in timely manner and endangered their safety.Findings:1.A review of the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 19 in 2021 with multiple diagnoses which included lung disease, muscle weakness, and blindness. A Review of Resident 19's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 3/7/25 indicated the resident was cognitively intact. A review of the resident's MDS vision assessment indicated Resident 19's vision was severely impaired. During a concurrent observation and interview with Resident 19 on 9/2/25, at 9:15 a.m., the resident was in his bed with breakfast tray in front of him. Resident 19 was noted to be touching around the tray with his hands and explained that was he was unable to see due to blindness. Resident 19 stated he was unable to find coffee and was waiting for his Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Resident started touching the bed around him and under his pillow attempting to find his call light. Resident 19 added, I can't find it [call light]. It's very frustrating and it's not the first time that I can't find my call button. Resident 19 explained, If I can't find it, I yell out for help. They don't like it, but I have no choice. Sometimes it's a simple thing like I want coffee or water, but I'm scared if its emergency, something with my breathing and I can't find my call button, it's life or death situation. Resident 19's call light was observed hanging above his head on the right side of the bed frame, lowered all the way to the floor and not accessible to the resident. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/2/25, at 9:21 a.m., with Restorative Nurse Assistant (RNA 2) in Resident 19's room, RNA 2 confirmed Resident 19's call light was not within reach. RNA 2 stated Resident 19 was alert and able to call for assistance and validated that the resident was legally blind. RNA 2 stated resident should always have his call light near him to call for assistance because he was at high risk for falls. A review of Resident 19's ‘At risk for falls' care plan indicated the resident has vision problems and poor safety awareness. One of the interventions indicated, Encourage and remind to call staff for assistance.Call light within reach. A review of Resident 19's care plan titled, [The resident] has an ADL [Activities of Daily Living - routine tasks/activities such as bathing, dressing and toileting a person performs daily to care for themselves] self-performance deficit initiated on 4/7/21 indicated interventions which included, Encourage the resident to use the call bell to call for assistance.Staff to described [sic] where are his belongings are located and emphasized to ask for staff assistance. A review of Resident 19's care plan titled, Resident has behaviors of calling/yelling staff's name repeatedly.Tends to yell for his needs, initiated 3/9/23 included interventions, Anticipate resident's need [sic].Ask resident his needs before leaving the resident's room.Call light within reach. 2.A Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

F 0558 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete review of the admission Record indicated Resident 2 was admitted to the facility in 2024 with multiple diagnoses which included kidney failure with dependance on renal dialysis (a treatment to cleanse the blood of wastes and extra fluids artificially through a machine when the kidneys have failed), anxiety disorder and legal blindness. Resident 2's clinical record indicated the resident spoke language other than English. A review of Resident 2's MDS dated [DATE] indicated that the resident's cognition was moderately impaired, and the resident had highly impaired vision. During an observation on 9/3/25, at 4:30 p.m., Resident 2 was observed in a specialized high back wheelchair parked parallel to her bed facing other side of the room. The resident was observed sliding down the wheelchair with her legs bent. The resident kept turning her head around and was talking in her native language. The resident rubbed her right hip, moaned and looked uncomfortable. Resident 2's call light was observed on the bed, about 3 feet away from resident's reach. A Licensed Nurse (LN 10) had the medication cart parked next to Resident 2's room entrance and was preparing medications. During a concurrent observation and interview with LN 10 on 9/3/25, at 4:33 p.m., LN 10 stated she did not check on Resident 2 since the resident came back from dialysis around 4 p.m. Upon entering Resident 2's room, LN 10 stated, Ah, no, she looks very uncomfortable.She's tired, she needs to be in bed. LN 10 stated the resident was able to use her call light to ask for assistance and validated that the resident's call light was not within reach and the resident was unable to call for help. LN 10 stated Resident 2 was unable to see and was at risk for falls and should have her call light within reach at all times. A review of Resident 2's care plan titled, At risk for falls, initiated 12/24/24 contained the following interventions, Assist with ADL's and transfers.Call light within reach.Encourage and remind to call staff for assistance. A review of Resident 2's ‘ADL self-care performance deficit' care plan initiated 12/24/24 indicated the resident required assistance with personal care and transferring. One of the interventions indicated, Encourage the resident to use the light to call for assistance. A review of the facility's ‘Answering the Call Light,' policy dated 9/2022, indicated, The purpose of this procedure is to ensure timely responses to the resident's requests and needs.Be sure that the call light is plugged in and functioning at all times.Ensure that the call light is accessible to the resident when in bed, from the toilet, from the shower or bathing facility and from the floor. During an interview with Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/5/25, at 10:20 p.m., the DON stated that call lights should be within resident's reach whether resident was in bed or in wheelchair so that the resident could communicate their needs, especially for residents who were at risk for falls. The DON agreed that if the call light was not accessible, residents' needs might not be met in a timely manner and had the potential to affect resident safety.

F 0605 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Prevent the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications or use medications that may restrain a resident's ability to function. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that one of 34 sampled residents, (Resident 42) was free of unnecessary psychotropic medications (drugs that affect the mind and brain, altering mood, perception, and behavior) when Resident 42 received quetiapine (an antipsychotic medication) used to treat schizophrenia (a mental illness that is characterized by disturbances in thought) and bipolar disorders (mental illnesses that are characterized by mood swings that range from the lows of depression to elevated periods of emotional highs) for an inadequate indication and contrary to the risk of adverse consequences of black box warning (a prominent, bold-faced warning placed on the labels of prescription medications to alert healthcare professionals and patients about serious risks associated with the drug) where the attending physician did not provide an adequate rationale for its use. This failure resulted in the potential for Resident 42 suffering adverse effects such as sedation, falls, abnormal involuntary movements, and death.Findings:Resident 42 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] from the hospital after suffering an intercranial hemorrhage (bleeding within the skull, or cranium, where the brain is located). Resident 42 had an admission history of stroke (a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted), non-Alzheimer's (a disease characterized by progressive decline in mental abilities) dementia (any type of dementia not caused by Alzheimer's disease), difficulty walking, and muscle weakness. Resident 42 was at risk for falls and injury.After admission to the facility, Resident 42 was diagnosed with VASCULAR DEMENTIA (a type of cognitive decline caused by damage to the blood vessels in the brain), UNSPECIFIED SEVERITY, WITH OTHER BEHAVIORAL DISTURBANCE, UNSPECIFIED PSYCHOSIS (a severe mental condition in which thought, and emotions are so affected that contact is lost with reality) NOT DUE TO A SUBSTANCE OR KNOWN PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION, INSOMNIA (trouble falling asleep or staying asleep) UNSPECIFIED, and REPEATED FALLS.A review of Resident 42's Physician Order, dated 3/7/2025, indicated an order for quetiapine 25 mg (milligram, unit of measure), 12.5 mg in the morning and 25 mg at bedtime. During a record review of Resident 42's Minimum Data Set (MDS-a resident assessment and classification tool), dated 2/12/24, MDS indicated Resident 42 had moderate cognitive impairment. MDS dated [DATE] and 8/15/25 indicated severe cognitive impairment. MDS 2/12/25, 5/19/25, and 8/15/25 indicated signs and symptoms of delirium (temporary state of mental confusion and disorientation that can cause significant changes in a person's behavior, thinking, and perception) were not present. MDS further indicated potential indications of psychosis (sensory experiences that occur without any external stimulus) were not present. MDS 2/12/25 indicated no Psychotic Disorder (other than schizophrenia) diagnosis. MDS dated [DATE] and 8/15/25 indicated an active diagnosis of a Psychotic disorder (other than schizophrenia). During a review of the Consultant Pharmacist's (CP) Medication Regimen Review (MRR) for 3/1/25 to 3/13/25, the MRR indicated a recommendation for quetiapine's indication to be changed to Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia manifested by physical and verbal aggression.During a record review of Resident 42's Order Audit Report provided by the facility on 9/5/25, indicated an order for Trazadone (an antidepressant drug used to promote sleep) 50 mg at bedtime for inability to sleep related to insomnia on 4/30/24.

F 0658 Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure two of 34 sampled residents (Resident 102 and Resident 8) received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice and comprehensive person-centered care plans, when:1.The facility did not follow Resident 102's physician's order for Speech Therapy evaluation and treatment (ST or SLP, a Speech Language Pathologist; an assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders) and did not follow ST recommendations from prior assessment;2. Resident 8's hold parameters for blood pressure (BP) medications were not followed as ordered; and,3. Resident 8's weight changes were not reported to the physician as orderedThese failures placed Resident 102 at risk for complications related to her swallowing and had the potential to affect Resident 102 and Resident 8's health and safety. Findings: Residents Affected - Some 1.A review of the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 102 in 2024 with multiple diagnoses which included dementia (impairment of brain function including loss of memory and judgment) and dysphasia (difficulty or inability to swallow). A review of Resident 102's Minimum Data Set (MDS – a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 7/7/25 indicated the resident's cognition was severely impaired. A review of Resident 102' Order Summary Report contained a physician order dated 6/26/25 which indicated, ST eval [evaluation] and treatment. A review of Resident 102's clinical records had no documented evidence that the physician order for speech therapy was followed. There was no documented evidence that the physician was informed that Resident 102 did not receive swallowing evaluation since 6/26/25 as prescribed. A review of Resident 102's clinical records revealed Speech Therapy Evaluation and Plan of Care that was completed 7/2/24. The ST evaluation indicated that Resident 102 had swallowing problem and had history of coughing and choking with meals. The ST documented that the resident was referred to ST services for dysphasia due to need for assistance with meals and risk for aspiration. Speech Therapy treatment was completed on 7/12/24 and the discharge summary indicated, To facilitate safety .it is recommended the patient uses the following strategies .during oral intake: general swallow techniques/ precautions .alteration of liquids/solids upright posture during meals.Supervision for Oral intake=Close supervision. A review of Resident 102's 'Risk for aspiration' care plan dated 7/2/24 indicated that the resident will not experience sign and symptoms of aspiration [aspiration is a major risk of dysphasia, where food or liquids enters the lungs which can lead to infection] given implementation of swallow strategies and environmental modifications (feed assist/supervision). During an observation on 9/2/25, at 9:25 a.m., Resident 102 was observed in her bed eating her breakfast independently. The sign on the wall above the resident's head indicating 'Swallowing Guidelines' was observed hanging upside down and folded in half. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/2/25, at 9:29 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant CNA 1) lifted the sign and explained that the sign did not have the resident's name, but it listed Resident 102's son phone number. CNA 1 stated, It does say 1:1 assistance/supervision during meal.

F 0658 outdated. CNA 1 stated that the resident ate her meals in bed most of the time. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm During an interview with Restorative Nursing Assistant (RNA 3) on 9/3/25, at 10:20 a.m., RNA 3 stated, The resident always eats in her room independently. Not aware of any swallowing issues, not aware of aspiration precautions.Not seen her coughing or choking. Usually, nurses tell us if any changes in residents or any precautions. Residents Affected - Some During phone interview with Speech Therapist (ST) on 9/3/25, at 4:23 p.m., the ST stated she could not recall if Resident 102 had swallow evaluation and treatment completed in the last 6 months. The ST added that the facility would contact her if the resident had ST evaluation ordered by physician but could not recall if she was contacted. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/5/25 at 8:50 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) validated that Resident 102's physician ordered ST evaluation and treatment on 6/26/25. The DON stated, ST evaluation not done. Not sure what happened, obviously miscommunication. During a continued interview on 9/5/25 at 8:50 a.m., the sign with Swallowing Guidelines posted on the wall was discussed. The DON stated she was not aware of aspiration precautions for Resident 102 since her diet was changed from mechanical chopped to regular diet on 6/30/25. Upon reviewing ST evaluation completed 7/2/24 and ST discharge summary and swallowing recommendations related to aspiration precautions dated 7/12/24, the DON did not provide the answer if the 'Swallowing Guidelines' from previous ST evaluation dated 7/12/24 were to be followed. The DON did not provide documented evidence that the resident's 'Swallowing Guidelines' were discontinued. A review of the facility's policy titled, Dysphasia – Clinical Protocol, revised 9/17, indicated, The staff and physician will identify individuals with a history of swallowing difficulties or related diagnoses such a dysphasia.Based on information collected.the staff and practitioner, in conjunction with SLP [Speech Language Pathologist/ST] will define the situation carefully.will identify and document pertinent information.The staff and physician will identify and address any complications of swallowing disorders and their underlying causes. 2.

Resident 4's straight catheter (intermittent catheter- use of thin, hollow tube to drain urine from the bladder) was not accurately documented, care planned and evaluated for continued use; and 2. Resident 8's suprapubic catheter (a tube inserted directly into the bladder to drain urine) care and monitoring were not done as ordered. These failures increased the risk for Resident 4 and Resident 8 to develop trauma and bladder infection. Findings: 1.A review of the admission Record indicated Resident 4 was admitted [DATE] with diagnoses including cerebral infarction (ischemic stroke- blood flow to the brain is suddenly blocked) and malignant neoplasm of the prostate (cancer or uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate [part of the male reproductive system located below the bladder]). A review of Resident 4's physician order dated 8/19/25 indicated an order for straight catheter every shift and to monitor for urinary retention and signs & symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI or bladder infection). A review of Resident 4's Medication Administration Record (MAR) for August indicated Resident 4's indwelling urinary catheter (foley catheter) was removed on 8/18/25 and a straight catheter was ordered on 8/19/25. Further review of Resident 4's MAR for August indicated the following: -straight catheter order was marked 2 or Drug Refused three times; -straight catheter was marked 5 or Hold/See Progress Notes nine times; and, -straight catheter was marked 9 or Other/See Progress Notes ten times. A review of Resident 4's 'Administration Note' dated 8/19/25 at 8:50 p.m. [20:50] indicated Resident 4 refused straight catheter three times and Resident 4 verbalized I don't want anything inserted in me right now. I've been doing good on my own. A review of Resident 4's 'Health Status Note' dated 8/25/25 at 6:46 a.m. [06:46] indicated, [Resident 4] is able to void on his own.

F 0690 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some A concurrent interview and record review was conducted with LN 1 on 9/3/25 at 2:18 p.m. The LN 1 confirmed she placed a check mark on Resident 4's straight catheter order on 9/2 and 9/3. LN 1 stated she did not perform straight catheter on those days since Resident 4 was able to urinate or void on his own and she did not document correctly. LN 1 further stated the order for straight catheter should have been discontinued and it was their responsibility to notify the physician if Resident 4 had been urinating without the use of catheter. A concurrent interview and record review was conducted with LN 2 on 9/4/25 at 3:39 p.m. The LN 2 stated if Resident 4's straight catheter order had 2, 5, and 9 marked in the MAR, this indicated the procedure was not performed. The LN 2 further stated, the physician should have been notified of Resident 4's voiding status. During a concurrent interview and record review on 9/5/25 starting at 9:30 a.m. with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) the ADON stated Resident 4 pulled out his foley catheter and had blood in the urine. The ADON confirmed Resident 4 had no care plan for the straight catheter. The ADON stated the risk for infection is higher when a straight catheter is performed. The ADON further confirmed there were multiple episodes wherein Resident 4 did not require straight catheterization. The ADON further stated if she was the nurse caring for Resident 4, she would ask the physician to discontinue the straight catheter order to prevent trauma and infection. The ADON further stated the physician's response to the 'Health Status Note dated 8/25/25 was not clear, the licensed nurse who carried out the note should have clarified the physician's response. The ADON added she expected documentation in the MAR to be accurate and timely and straight catheter order should be individualized based on resident's need.

F 0744 Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure one of 34 sampled residents (Resident 17) received appropriate treatment and services for diagnosis of vascular dementia (impairment of brain function caused by damage to the blood vessels in the brain), by failing to offer non-pharmacological interventions and document the rationale prior to initiation of Seroquel (a psychotropic medication that affect brain activities associated with mental processes and behaviors and indicated for treating psychiatric conditions). In addition, there was no evaluation and rationale provided when Resident 17 was diagnosed with psychosis (a severe mental condition in which thoughts and emotions so affected that contact with reality is lost). These failures had the potential to expose Resident 17 to adverse side-effects (unwanted, uncomfortable, or fatal effects, including but not limited to sedation, increased risk for falls and negatively impact Resident 17's overall health and safety.Findings:A review of the facility's policy titled, Behavioral Assessment, Intervention and Monitoring, with the revision date of 3/19, indicated, The facility will provide all residents will receive behavioral health services as needed to attain or maintain the highest physical, mental and psychosocial well-being.The interdisciplinary team will thoroughly evaluate new or changing behavioral symptoms in order to identify underlying causes.that may have contributed to the resident's change in condition, including: physical changes.infection.pain or discomfort.emotional changes.boredom, loneliness, anxiety.Non-pharmacological interventions will be utilized.to avoid or reduce the use of antipsychotic medications to manage behavioral symptoms. A review of the admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 17 in 2023 with multiple diagnoses which included cerebral infarction (brain bleed) resulting in paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on the right side, and vascular dementia without behavioral disturbance. A review of Resident 17's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a federally mandated resident assessment tool) dated 8/13/25 indicated the resident scored 10 out of 15 on cognitive assessment, which indicated mild cognitive impairment.

F 0744 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few present for over a year. Resident 17's clinical record did not contain any documentation to show that there were any attempts to reduce the dose of Seroquel since the start of the medication on 5/1/25. Resident 17's clinical record did not indicate the resident was prescribed any Food and Drug (FDA) approved medications to treat dementia. A review of Resident 17's clinical records did not contain any documented evidence the resident had been referred to be seen by a psychiatrist (a medical doctor who specialize in mental health, able to diagnose and treat mental disorders). Resident 17's clinical records did not reveal that the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT, a group of healthcare disciplines who discuss resident care needs) had evaluated if Resident 17's behavioral symptoms may be related to unmet needs or other medical conditions. A review of the facility's ‘Antipsychotic Medication Use,' policy dated 7/22, indicated, Residents will not receive medications that are not clinically indicated to treat a specific condition. The policy further explained the diagnoses for which antipsychotic medications will be used and vascular dementia was not included on the list. The policy indicated, Diagnoses alone do not warrant the use of antipsychotic medications.Antipsychotic medications will generally.considered if the following conditions are also met: The behavioral symptoms present a danger to the resident or others; AND.The symptoms are identified as being due to mania or psychosis (such as auditory, visual.hallucinations, delusions, paranoia. During a concurrent interview and record review with Director of Nursing (DON) on 9/5/25, commencing at 10:20 a.m., the DON acknowledged that Resident 17 had been receiving Seroquel, a medication to treat mental disorders. The DON reviewed hospital records and validated that the resident had no history of any mental disorder, including psychosis prior to admission. The DON stated that diagnosis of dementia with psychotic disturbance was added to resident's diagnoses on 9/13/24 and diagnosis of psychosis was added on 2/19/25. During a continued interview and record review on 9/5/25, at 10:20 a.m., the DON stated that Resident 17 has behaviors of yelling, repetitive requests and attention seeking, and verbal aggression. When the DON was asked if yelling was presenting danger to self or others, the DON replied, Not dangerous, [but] disruptive to others especially at night. The DON did not provide any answer if resident's yelling behaviors were related to unmet physical needs, medical conditions, or other dementia-related behaviors. The DON stated Resident 17 did not have hallucinations or delusions but had lots of behaviors prior to starting Seroquel. The DON stated she did not remember if IDT addressed resident's behaviors and if any non-pharmacological interventions were provided prior to antipsychotic medication.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to follow and maintain an effective infection prevention and control program for a census of 93 when staff did not wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE - clothing and equipment that is worn or used to provide protection against hazardous substances and/or environments) for residents on enhanced barrier precaution (EBP, an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of drug-resistant organisms during high contact resident care activities).This failure decreased the facility's potential in preventing transmission of diseases among residents and staff.Findings:1a. During an observation on 9/2/25 at 11:17 a.m. outside Resident 79's room, an EBP signage was observed posted by the door, and plastic drawers containing personal protective equipment (PPE) were observed by the entrance of the room. The Hospice Nurse (HN) was observed entering the room, did not wear PPE, pulled Resident 79's curtain and provided privacy.During an interview on 9/2/25 at 11:39 a.m. with the HN, the HN stated she checked Resident 79's skin and did wound care on the resident's right knee. The HN confirmed there was a signage posted by the door indicating Resident 79 was on EBP and confirmed she was not wearing PPE while providing direct care. The HN further stated that she was not aware that Resident 79 was on EBP. The HN added that it was important to wear PPE for infection control.1b. During a concurrent observation and interview on 9/2/25 at 3:46 p.m. with Restorative Nursing Assistant 1 (RNA 1) outside Resident 68's room, an EBP signage was observed posted by the door, and plastic drawers containing PPE were observed by the entrance of the room. RNA 1 was observed waiting by the door of the room and stated she was waiting for Resident 68 who was inside the bathroom. The bathroom call light was observed lit up, and RNA 1 went inside the bathroom to assist Resident 68 without wearing PPE.During a follow-up observation and interview on 9/2/25 at 4:08 p.m. with RNA 1 in Resident 68's room, RNA 1 was observed assisting Resident 68 to use the bathroom. RNA 1 was observed not wearing PPE. RNA 1 confirmed she was not wearing PPE while assisting Resident 68 inside the bathroom and stated, I don't think we need to use the gown for her.I just need the gloves, but she can clean herself. RNA 1 stated PPEs were important to prevent spread of infection.During an interview on 9/2/25 at 4:14 p.m. with LN 5, LN 5 stated Resident 68 had an EBP signage posted, and gown and gloves were needed when providing direct care activities including assisting in the bathroom.During an interview on 9/4/25 at 1:06 p.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), the IP stated that for residents on EBP, staff are expected to wear gowns and gloves if they are doing high contact care activities including assisting with toileting and wound care. The IP further stated visitors and contractors were also expected to wear the proper PPEs if they were doing direct care to residents. The IP stated, Long term patients have increased risk for MDRO [multi drug-resistant organisms - organisms that have developed resistance to multiple drugs, making infections difficult to treat], colonization is pretty common in long term facilities.During an interview on 9/4/25 at 3:32 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated the expectation is to follow the protocols especially if there was an EBP sign posted. The DON further stated wearing the proper PPE was important for preventing the potential spread of MDRO.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Policies and Practices - Infection Control, revised 7/2019, the P&P indicated, This facility's infection control policies and practices are intended to facilitate maintaining a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent and manage transmission of diseases and infections.1.
