Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure staff competency when Dietary Aide 1: Residents Affected - Few a. used a sanitizing agent test strip not intended for use with the Quat sanitizer (anti-microbial agent) solution to test the Quat sanitizer solution concentration, and; b. immersed a newly washed blender in the sanitizing sink for a few seconds. This failure had the potential to result in food-borne illness. Findings: During an observation on 6/17/19, at 9:35 a.m., Dietary Aide 1 used a test strip not intended for use with the Quat Sanitizer to check the Quat sanitizer solution concentration in the three compartment sink.

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 follow infection control practices for one (Resident 421) of 34 sampled residents when Registered Nurse (RN) 2 did not perform hand hygiene (wash hands with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand rub) during wound care. Residents Affected - Few This deficient practice did not ensure effective control and prevention of the spread of infection in the facility. Findings: Review of Resident 421's admission Face Sheet, dated 6/13/19, indicated Resident 421 was admitted to the facility with multiple diagnoses that included pressure ulcer (tissue damage caused by staying in the same position for too long) and anemia (condition in which the blood does not have enough properly functioning red blood cells potentially resulting in slower wound healing and wound infections). Review of Resident 421's Weekly Pressure Ulcer BWAT Report, dated 6/12/19, indicated Resident 421 had a 0.7 cm by 1.2 cm stage 2 pressure (shallow open sore) to the sacral/coccygeal (lower back) region. During an observation on 6/19/19, at 10:14 a.m., RN 2 provided wound care treatment to Resident 421's pressure ulcer. RN 2 put on gloves and removed Resident 421's wound dressing, then RN 2 removed her gloves and put on a new pair of gloves without performing hand hygiene between glove changes. RN 2 proceeded to clean Resident 421's pressure ulcer wound and put on a new wound dressing on Resident 421 without performing hand hygiene or changing gloves. During an interview on 6/19/19, at 11:55 a.m. Director of Staff Development (DSD 2) stated cleansing hands after glove removal during a dressing change ensures that the wound gets cleaned better to promote healing. Review of the facility's policy and procedure titled Dressings, Dry/Clean Policy, revised September 2013, indicated instructions to wash and dry the hands thoroughly after gloves were removed during a dressing change.

F 0912 Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Residents Affected - Some Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single resident rooms. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview, the facility had 11 resident rooms (Rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11) with multiple beds that provided less than 80 square feet (sq.ft.) per resident (Rt) who occupied these rooms. This failure had the potential to result in a lack of adequate space for the provision of resident care by the facility staff and for the lack of sufficient space for resident's belongings. Findings: During an observation on 6/19/19 at 10:38 a.m., with Engineer, the following resident rooms and corresponding square footage (sq.ft.) were identified: Room Activity Room Size Floor Area 1 Rt Room 154 sq.ft. 77 sq.ft. 2 Rt Room 154 sq.ft. 77 sq.ft. 3 Rt Room 154 sq.ft. 77 sq.ft. 4 Rt Room 154 sq.ft. 77 sq.ft. 5 Rt Room 287 sq.ft. 71.75 sq.ft.

During random observations of care and services from 6/17/19 to 6/19/19, the useful living space in each of the resident rooms provided sufficient space to move about without obstruction or interference from furniture or closets. Residents in these rooms had privacy as well as storage space for personal belongings. There were no resident complaints regarding insufficient space for their belongings. Staff had adequate space to provide care and no negative consequences attributed to the decreased space and/or safety concerns in these six rooms. Recommend granting room size waiver.
