If the resident is medically capable of understanding the procedure, ask him or her to assist you in telling you when he or she drank some fluid and how much he or she drank. Record the fluid intake as soon as possible after the resident has consumed the fluids. At the end of the shift, total the amounts of all liquids the resident consumed. Record the amount noted on the intake side of the intake and output record. Record the time the intake was measured. Review of the facility's P&P titled Output, Measuring and Recording revised 10/2010 showed the purpose of this procedure to accurately determine the amount of urine that a resident excretes in a 24-hour period. Be sure that the intake and output record is available. Record the time the output was measured. Review of the facility's P&P titled Encouraging and Restricting Fluids revised 10/2010 showed the purpose of this procedure is to provide the resident with the amount of fluids necessary to maintain optimum health.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to implement the infection control practices designed to provide the safe and sanitary environment and help prevent the development and transmission of diseases and infections. * The facility failed to implement the infection control surveillance program for the months of January 2025 through August 2025. The facility conducted surveillance of resident infections only when the residents were prescribed antimicrobial medications and/or if the residents were diagnosed with an infection. The facility failed to determine whether the residents who exhibited signs and symptoms of infection and were not prescribed antimicrobial medications, or had not been diagnosed with an infection, met the facility's criteria for infection (utilizing McGeer's Criteria). The facility failed to include these residents in the facility's infection control surveillance program. * The facility failed to ensure the clean laundry in the laundry room was stored properly. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure the housekeeping staff did not store their personal items on the resident clean linen sorting counter. * The facility failed to ensure the Hoyer lift was cleaned in between usage for Residents 35 and 81. * The facility failed to ensure LVN 2 performed hand hygiene before administering eye drops to Resident 78. These failures posed the risk of not identifying resident infections and controlling the potential transmission of communicable diseases to other residents, staff, and visitors throughout the facility.Findings: Residents Affected - Some 1. Review of the facility's P&P titled Infection Prevention and Control Program revised 10/2025 showed an infection prevention and control program is established and maintained to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. The infection prevention and control program is coordinated and overseen by the IP. Surveillance tools are used for recognizing the occurrence of infections, recording their number and frequency, detecting outbreaks and epidemics, monitoring adherence to infection prevention and control practices, and detecting unusual pathogens with infection control implications. The information obtained from infection control surveillance activities is compared with acknowledged standards and used to assess effectiveness of established infection prevention and control practices. Standard criteria (McGeer's and Lobes's Criteria) are used to distinguish CAIs from HAIs. On 1/21/26 at 1007 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the IP. The IP was asked to explain the facility's resident infection surveillance program. The IP stated when a resident was prescribed antimicrobial medications or was diagnosed with an infection, the facility would then initiate a McGeer's Criteria and/or Loeb's Criteria form. The IP stated the McGeer's Criteria was utilized to determine if a resident had a true infection. The IP stated the Loeb's Criteria was utilized to determine whether a resident met the minimum criteria for the use of the antibiotics. Review of the facility's monthly Infection Prevention and Control Surveillance Logs from January 2025 through August 2025 showed the following infection surveillance data for HAIs, CAIs, and the residents who did not meet McGeer's Criteria (DNMC): - for 1/2025: HAI – 31, CAI – 26, and DNMC – 0; - for 2/2025: HAI – 3 , CAI – 29, and DNMC – 0; - for 3/2025: HAI – 8 , CAI – 18 , and DNMC – 0; (continued on next page) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555763 If continuation sheet Page 19 of 24 Printed: 05/15/2026 Form Approved OMB No. 0938-0391 Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES AND PLAN OF CORRECTION (X1) PROVIDER/SUPPLIER/CLIA IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: (X2) MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTION 555763 B.

Further review of the facility's monthly Infection Prevention and Control Surveillance Logs from January 2025 through August 2025 showed that all the residents included in the facility's infection surveillance program were determined to have either a HAI or CAI (with prescribed antimicrobial medications or having been diagnosed with an infection). The Infection Prevention and Control Surveillance logs failed to show any residents that did not meet McGeer's criteria. The IP verified no residents in the facility were classified as having not met the McGeer's Criteria between the months of January 2025 through August 2025. When the IP was asked if the facility included the residents in the facility's infection surveillance program when a resident at the facility exhibited signs and/or symptoms of an infection and was not prescribed antimicrobial medications (or was not diagnosed with an infection) when the facility initiated the McGeer's criteria form, the IP stated the facility did not initiate the McGeer's criteria form for the residents who exhibited signs and/or symptoms of infection and were not prescribed antimicrobial medications (or were not diagnosed with an infection). The IP was asked how many residents had met the McGeer's criteria and were not prescribed antimicrobial medications from January 2025 through August 2025 (excluding residents who were diagnosed with an infection). The IP stated she was uncertain, as the facility did not initiate the McGeer's criteria form for those residents who exhibited signs and/or symptoms of infections and were not prescribed antimicrobial medications (or had not been diagnosed with an infection). 2. On 1/22/26 at 0908 hours, an observation of the facility's laundry room and concurrent interview was conducted with Housekeeping 1. The counter designated for clean laundry sorting was observed with a facility binder and a used paper cup with a food wrapper stuffed inside of the cup. Additionally, a clean linen cart was observed adjacent to the clean laundry sorting counter. The top shelf of the clean linen cart contained clean resident linens. A stack of facility paperwork was observed on the top shelf of the clean linen cart adjacent to the clean resident linen. Housekeeping 1 verified the findings and stated the facility staff personal cups and food wrappers should not be stored on the clean laundry sorting counter, for infection control purposes. Housekeeping 1 also stated the facility paperwork should not be stored inside of the resident clean linen cart, for infection control purposes. 3. Review of the facility's P&P titled Cleaning and Disinfecting Non-Critical Resident-Care Items revised 6/2011 showed under the General Guidelines section, reusable items are cleaned and disinfected or sterilized between residents (example is the durable medical equipment). On 1/20/26 at 1135 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, CNA 3 was observed transferring Resident 35 from the wheelchair to the bed using the Hoyer lift equipment. CNA 2 came to Resident 35's room and borrowed the Hoyer lift equipment from CNA 3. CNA 3 was then observed bringing the Hoyer lift equipment to Resident 81's room and used it to transfer Resident 81 from the bed to the wheelchair without cleaning the Hoyer lift equipment prior to using it for the resident.

F 0909 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review, the facility failed to ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were completed and the measurements were recorded during the bed inspection when identifying areas of possible entrapment with the use of side rails for two of three final sampled residents (Residents 72 and 75) reviewed for side rails use. * The facility failed to ensure the entrapment assessment of bed rails were completed for Residents 72 and 75. These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death.Findings: According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapment may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards. The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed system where there is potential for entrapment are:- Zone 1: within the rail;- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;- Zone 5: between split bed rails; - Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and- Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end. Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Rails - Safe Use Policy revised 10/2025 showed bed rails will be installed, secured, and maintained according to manufacturer instructions and the facility shall assess spaces for unsafe gaps between mattress and bed rails and bed system components to reduce entrapment risks in consideration of resident's size, weight, and behavioral patterns. 1. On 1/20/26 at 1148 hours, during the initial tour of the facility, Resident 72 was observed awake and lying in bed with the right upper bed rail elevated. Resident 72 stated he used the bed rail to grab when he was being turned or cleaned. On 1/20/26 at 1210 hours, an interview was conducted with CNA 3.

On 1/22/26 at 1142 hours, an interview and concurrent medical record review was conducted with LVN 2 for Residents 72 and 75. LVN 2 stated Resident 72 had the right upper bed rail which the resident used during repositioning. LVN 2 stated Resident 75 used the bilateral upper bed rails during repositioning, transferring and when getting out of bed. LVN 2 stated the use of the bed rails was determined by the physical therapist's evaluation. LVN 2 stated the use of the bed rails could cause entrapment and injuries to the residents. LVN 2 stated he was not familiar with the different zones of entrapment of the bed and measurement. LVN 2 stated the maintenance department was responsible for the bed rail installation but he did not know how the department was notified. On 1/22/26 at 1308 hours, an interview and concurrent facility document review was conducted with the Maintenance Director. The Maintenance Director stated the physical therapist determined the resident's need of the use of bed rail(s) and would install it since the bed rails were kept at the resident's room. The Maintenance Director stated the maintenance department then would be notified by the medical records department to inspect the installation of the bed rail(s). The Maintenance Director stated he would complete the entrapment assessment by measuring the bed Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4, and would check the fitment and locking. The Maintenance Director further stated he did weekly check for the bed rails. Reviewed the facility's Bed System Measurement Device Test Results Worksheet Log for January 2026 with the Maintenance Director and the Maintenance Director verified the log did not show evidence the entrapment assessment for Residents 72 and 75 were completed prior to the use of bed rails. On 1/22/26 at 1355 hours, an interview was conducted with the DON. The DON stated if the entrapment assessment was not completed for those residents with the bed rails, then the residents had high risk for injury, like strangulation.
