This deficient practice had the potential to have reoccurring deficient practices that can impact the quality of care for the residents. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/18/2025 at 6:25p.m., with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated they have QAPI meetings monthly and QAPIs are structured to identify potential solutions to yield positive outcomes. The ADM stated they did not have documentation of QAPI meetings prior to March 2025. The ADM stated there were issues regarding call light response time at the end of February 2025, and in March 2025, call light issues were present during the resident council meetings, so a QAPI was implemented regarding call light response times. The ADM stated there were no other issues that they were aware of for March 2025 and indicated skin integrity issues were identified at a later time. The ADM stated when he took over as the ADM in January 2025, upon observing trends, he provided additional nursing support [Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON)] to help with care and support and to see if any changes would be made. ADM stated the QAPI was initiated in March 2025 as he wanted to give the previous Director of Nursing (DON) the benefit of the doubt on her opinions and believed it was not necessary to do a QAPI at the time when the trends were present and indicated it could have helped if a QAPI was initiated at that time. During a concurrent interview and record review on 5/18/2025 at 6:39 p.m. with the ADM, the ADM stated there is no QAPI in April 2025 and indicated the call light issue has not been resolved in April. The ADM stated during the resident council meeting; the residents did not complain about call lights. ADM stated he looked through the Director of Nursing (DON)'s office and was not able to locate previous QAPI documents. ADM stated if a QAPI is not implemented, the trend identified will continue and impose more risks to the residents and not enhancing care. ADM stated the QAPI is not complete.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** . Residents Affected - Some Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement their Enhanced Barrier Precaution (EBP: infection control practices to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO's) control measures for one of three sampled residents (Residents 21 ) by failing to wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE: to protective clothing, helmets, gloves, face shields, goggles, face masks and/or respirators or other equipment designed to protect the wearer from injury or the spread of infection or illness) when coming in contact with /administering Resident 21's Lidocaine Patch (medication that numbs specific area of the body by blocking pain signals to the brain) and when handling the indwelling catheter (known as Foley catheter, a tube that allows urine to drain from the bladder into a bag that is usually attached to the thigh) drainage bag. These deficient practices had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection for the residents. During a review of Resident 21's admission Record, the admission Record indicated Resident 21 was initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and was readmitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including unspecified fracture (break in a bone) of unspecified lumbar vertebra (one of the bones that make up the spinal column in the lower back), spinal stenosis (space inside the backbone is too small putting pressure on the spinal cord), and obstructive (urine flow is blocked) and reflux uropathy (occurs when urine flows backward into the bladder often as a result of obstruction). During a review of Resident 21's History and Physical (H&P), dated 4/20/2025, the H&P indicated Resident 21 had the capacity to understand and make decisions. During a review of Resident 21 Minimum Data Set [MDS] a resident assessment tool), dated 4/24/2025, the MDS indicated Resident 21's cognitive skills (the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses) were mildly impaired. The MDS indicated Resident 21 was dependent on chair/bed-to-chair transfer and toileting hygiene, required maximal assistance (provide more than half the effort) for bathing, dressing upper (above waist) and lower (waist below) body, required supervision on personal hygiene and oral hygiene, and required set up for eating. The MDS indicated Resident 21 utilizes a wheelchair and has bilateral (both sides) impairments on the upper (arms/shoulders) and lower (hips/legs) extremities. During a review of Resident 21's Order Summary Report (physician orders) dated 5/18/2025, the order summary indicated enhanced barrier precautions during high contact resident care activities secondary to (foley cath) every shift with an active date of 4/18/2025. During an observation on 5/17/2025 at 9:46 a.m., with Licensed Vocational Nurse 1 (LVN 1), LVN 1 was observed exposing Resident 21's Lidocaine patch located on the lower back without wearing proper PPE. LVN 1 was then observed touching Resident 21's foley catheter bag without wearing proper PPE. During an interview on 5/17/2025 at 1:54 p.m., with LVN 1, LVN 1 stated EBP's are for residents with wounds and foley catheters, and gowns are worn when performing nursing care that can possibly expose you to fluids or wounds. LVN 1 stated when giving medications, gowns are not worn since you are not giving direct patient care.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some liquid or splashing during nursing care, a gown is worn. LVN 1 stated if gowns are not worn, whatever is being handled such as bodily fluids can splash and wearing a gown can prevent that from occurring. During an interview on 5/18/2025 at 10:41a.m. with the Infection Preventionist Nurse (IPN), the IPN stated EBPs are for residents who have foleys, gastrostomy tube (a surgical opening fitted with a device to allow feedings to be administered directly to the stomach common for people with swallowing problems), or chronic wounds that require dressing. The IPN stated high contact includes providing activities of daily living (ADL: shower, bed bath) care and emptying the foley bag. The IPN stated a gown should be worn if you are touching the foley bag even if you are not emptying it as it might spill. The IPN stated you wear the gown to protect yourself and the resident and not wearing a gown can contaminate your clothing and increase the chance of spreading it to other residents. During an interview on 5/18/2025 at 1:59 p.m., with Registered Nurse Supervisor 1 (RNS 1), RNS 1 stated PPE should be worn since you are coming in contact with the resident when putting on the Lidocaine patch as it is worn for precaution. During an interview on 5/18/2025 at 8:31p.m., with the Director of Nursing (DON), the DON stated EBPs are for residents that have some kind of invasive device like a foley catheter and staff should wear a gown when you are going to anticipate having contact with the resident. The DON stated a gown is worn to protect the residents. The DON stated a gown is worn when applying a Lidocaine patch on a resident who is on EBP because you are having contact with the patient. During a review of the facility's policies and Procedures (P&P), titled Administering Medications, revised April 2019, the P&P indicated staff follows stablished facility infection control procedures (e.g., handwashing, antiseptic techniques, gloves, isolation precautions, etc.) for the administration of medications, as applicable. During a review of the facility's P&P titled Enhanced Barrier Precautions, revised December 2024, the P&P indicated enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) are utilized to prevent the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDROs) to residents. Enhanced barrier precautions (EBPs) refer to infection prevention and control interventions designed to reduce transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs) during high contact resident care activities. Enhanced barrier precautions apply when a resident has a wound or indwelling medical device, and has secretions or excretions that are unable to be covered of contained. Indwelling medical devices include central lines, urinary catheters, feeding tubes, and tracheotomies. EBPs employ targeted gown and glove use in addition to standard precautions during high contact resident care activities when contact precautions do not otherwise apply. a.Gloves and gown are applied prior to performing the high contact resident care activity (as opposed to before entering the room). Examples of high-contact resident care activities requiring the use of gown and gloves for EBPs include prolonged, high-contact with items in the resident's room, with resident's equipment, or with resident's clothing or skin (e.g., in the shower room, therapy gym, or during restorative care); device care or use (central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator, etc.) FORM CMS-2567 (02/99) Previous Versions Obsolete Event ID: Facility ID: 555805 If continuation sheet Page 22 of 23 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 555805 B.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in inadequate space to provide privacy, space during daily care, and access during an emergency. During a review of the facility's Client Accommodations Analysis form, provided by the facility on 5/18/2025, the facility had 2 rooms that measured less than 80 sq. ft. per resident in multi-bed rooms and two rooms that measured less than 100 sq. ft for a single bedroom. The resident rooms were as follows: room [ROOM NUMBER]: 14 inches (in: unit of length) x 10.1 in [141.4 sq. ft.] approved capacity: 2 room [ROOM NUMBER]: 14 in x 10.7 in [149.8 sq. ft.] approved capacity: 2 During a concurrent observation and interview on 5/18/2025 at 8:43a.m. with Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the room size measured for 5 was 14 in x 10.7 in and room [ROOM NUMBER] was 14 in x 10.6 in. MS stated he does not know what the right measurement for each resident is and indicated the room is small for 2 beds. MS stated there is a room waiver that is submitted for the rooms and indicated if the room is small, the staff and residents may bump into things. During an interview on 5/18/2025 at 8:40p.m. with Director of Nursing (DON), DON stated if the resident's room is deemed too small per guidance, there is potential for the room to be cluttered and the resident may fall due to not having enough space.
