Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to establish and 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 disease and infections for 19 out 19. residents (Residents #1 - #19). Residents Affected - Some The facility failed to: 1. ensure staff donned/doffed PPE/outside/inside rooms for residents on transmission-based precautions. 2. ensure staff wore the proper PPE inside the rooms for residents on transmission-based precautions. 3. ensure the facility had the proper PPE outside the rooms for residents on transmission-based precautions. On 12/22/23 at 6:13 PM an Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified. While the IJ was removed on 12/24/23 at 3:37 PM, the facility remained out of compliance at a severity level of actual harm that is not immediate to resident health or safety and a scope of pattern due to the facility continuing to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of their Plan of Removal. These failures could affect residents by placing them at risk for communicable diseases that could lead to infection and hospitalization. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet revealed resident is a [AGE] year-old Female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with unspecified dementia(mild memory disturbance), hypertensive heart, chronic kidney disease without heart failure (diseased kidneys are less able to help regulate blood pressure), and shortness of breath.
