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.

the only mask available to the staff. The Business Office Manager could not give a reason as to why the
N-95 mask or face shields was not available to staff and that she was filling in to help since the interim
Administrator, the DON, and the ADON were out sick.
In an interview with CNA A on 12/22/22 at 12:18 PM, she stated on 12/08/23 the DON/ADON locked the
COVID tests in the office as they did not want to test residents and follow the COVID guidelines of wearing
masks and PPE. The residents were showing signs of illness and symptoms on 12/08/23 and the DON and
the ADON were notified. CNA A stated the breakout of COVID began on 12/12/23 and there were currently
18 residents positive. CNA A stated during the outbreak PPE was not encouraged to be worn and some
staff were seen not using masks or protective gear when the outbreak occurred. Staff had to redirect the
COVID positive residents back into their rooms when they came out into the halls without masks. CNA A
stated no staff in the building were wearing N-95 masks or face shields during the outbreak or while caring
for residents. CNA A stated that there were no N-95 masks in the building and did not know why. CNA A
stated she had not had any recent training on Infection Control or protocol to follow during the outbreak.
In observations on 12/22/23 between 1:05 PM and 1:30 PM, the Rehab Director was passing out food trays
on hall 5 to COVID positive and non-COVID positive residents without an N-95 mask, no face shield, PPE
gown was not properly fastened, and without gloves.
In an interview with The Rehab Director on 12/22/23 at 1:30 PM, stated the surgical mask that she was
wearing was the only mask they had in the building. The Rehab Director stated the surgical mask was what
she had been using to care for the residents with COVID. The Rehab Director could not give me a reason
as to why there were not any N-95 masks, or face shields in the building or who the Infection Control
Preventionist was. The Rehab Director stated she did not have face a shield on passing trays to Covid
positive residents as there were not any in the building and she stated she used hand sanitizer when she
came out of resident's rooms. The Rehab Director stated she had not had any recent training in infection
control.
In observations on 12/22/23 between 1:45 PM and 2:00 PM revealed LVN A without an N-95 mask, face
shield, and PPE gown not properly fastened on hall 1 assisting COVID positive residents.
In an interview with LVN A om 12/22/23 at 2:00 PM stated that she did not want to be named in fear of
retaliation. LVN A stated it was known that COVID Positive residents were on the same hall as non-COVID
residents. LVN A stated she had not had any training recently on COVID. LVN A stated the surgical mask
that she was wearing was the only mask they had in the facility. There were no N-95 masks in the facility or
face shields. The surgical mask is what she used when she cared for COVID positive residents. LVN A
stated around December 8th, 2023 the DON and the ADON withheld COVID testing. The DON/ADON were
aware that residents had become ill. LVN A stated she felt that the DON and the ADON did not want to deal
with testing the residents. LVN A stated she observed staff not wearing PPE or surgical masks during the
outbreak. LVN A stated that when she was given direction by the DON/ADON to test residents that was
when she tested the residents. LVN A stated she last tested residents for COVID on 12-19-2023. 18 were
positive on 12-19-2023. LVN A stated she did not know who the infection control preventionist was and she
believed the COVID transmission came from not wearing the proper PPE during the outbreak.
Attempted to interview on 12/22/23 between 2:44 PM and 3:29 the interim Administrator, the DON, and the
ADON. The Business Office Manager stated they were all out sick. Left voice mail messages for a return
call with no call returned while in the facility.

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. Source control healthcare personnel will wear recommended PPE when caring for those in
transmission base precaution status regardless of community transmission rates or outbreak status. For all
Quarantine and isolation rooms 1. Post signs on the door or wall outside the resident's room that clearly
describe the type of precautions needed and require PPE. 2. All PPE is single use per room encounter 3.
Make PPE, including facemasks, eye protection, gowns, and gloves, available immediately outside of the
resident room [ROOM NUMBER]. Perform hand hygiene upon exiting patient room [ROOM NUMBER].
Minimize contact with Quarantine and Isolated residents by bundling time in the room, utilizing technology
when feasible and applicable avoiding creating unnecessary isolation or unnecessary mobility limitations.
