o
FM A revealed CR#1 had another hospital ER visit on 7/29/2024, and while she was in the hospital, a
Central Line (PICC line) was placed in her neck area for medications and along with the G-tube inserted for
feeding and hydration, to help mitigate the risk of aspiration. CR#1 returned to the facility 7/30/2024.

Residents Affected - Few
FM A stated on 8/21/2024 CR#1was again sent to the Hospital ER with breathing difficulties and diagnosed
with sepsis (the body responds improper to the bacteria infection that affect the immune system) and a
MRSA (a germ resistant to antibiotics and causes infection in different parts of the body. It is contagious)
infection in her bloodstream. Her condition had significantly worsened due to, in FM A's opinion, the lack of
proper care at the facility.
On 9/10/2024 at 2:55pm during a telephone interview with RA witnessed ants CR#1's bed on 8/6/2024 . RA
stated she reported this incident to Maint and LVN A. She stated she and another aide (Can't remember the
name) got the resident out of bed and cleaned her up fast along with sanitizing the mattress and putting
new bedding on. RA further confirmed the conversation with FM A regarding the unsanitary condition of
CR#1's Central Line and that it had not been changed in 14 days. RA stated she did not look at the area;
however, immediately went and got LVN A who accompanied her to CR#1's room.
On 9/10/2024 at 3:11pm during an interview with LVN B it was revealed she had she been aware of report
that the FM A had found ants in CR#1's bed by LVN A during shift change where staff exchange information
regarding what issues, if any, occurred on their shift. LVN B stated CR#1 should have immediately been
assessed to ensure there weren't any bites or other conditions; ensured the Maint was called and moved
the bed from the window area if necessary and finally a notation would and should have been reported in
PCC.
Regarding the Central PICC, LVN B stated she was aware CR#1 had a Central PICC line on the right side
of her neck and should have been flushed each shift. She further stated there is a kit in the medication
room, which provide items to remove dressing, and re-apply adhesive around the outer side to prevent
infection. LVN B stated this should be completed once weekly. She stated the dressing change on the PICC
line was according to the order, to be changed on the weekends (Saturday). LVN B stated she did not clean
or flush the PICC line because the order was for every Saturday and CR#1 never complained about the
area.
On 9/10/2024 at 4:30pm during an Interview with Maint revealed he was called to CR#1's room by the RA
during the morning shift because there were ants in the bed. Maint witnessed about 3 ants (sugar ants
according to Maint) and there were some cookie crumbs in the bed. At that time, CNA's helped the resident
out of bed, stripped the bed, the resident was cleaned and placed in her wheelchair in the hall while he
sprayed the room. The ants were also seen on the windowsill in the room. Maint stated there are no
concerns of sugar ants and they come in the facility when it rains. He stated pest control comes monthly to
spray but could not give an indication of all areas of applications other than internal applications.
On 9/10/2024 at 5:00pm during an interview with LVN A stated she was aware of the gallbladder tube in
CR#1's stomach and orders were to monitor drainage and tube base to make sure it's clean or dry. She
confirmed she changed the dressing of the resident when FM brought it to her attention that the dressing
was unsanitary and hadn't been changed. She stated CR#1's dressing should have been changed every 7
days. LVN A stated she completed on-going assessments of CR#1's gallbladder tubing area but did not
notice the date nor change the dressing until it was brought to her attention . LVN A stated when dressing
isn't changed it could cause infection and create a problem with the functioning of the tube.

LVN A stated she was working on 8/12/2024 and was aware the resident had a Central Line but does not
remember FM A informing her about the condition of the dressing (unsanitary and dirty). She stated she
flushed the line and ensured the medication was flowing like it was supposed to. With the line being in an
unsanitary condition, it could cause the resident to have a risk of serious infection.
LVN A stated when CR#1 returned from the hospital on or around the 7/30/24 she completed a head-to-toe
assessment , noted orders from the hospital, took vital signs, reconciled medications with doctor for
approval and completed documentation in PCC. The PICC line was not checked, and she stated she
thought she had checked it. She stated when she failed to check the PICC line it did not populate in the
orders and therefore nursing staff was unaware of the requirements for checking the PICC line area daily.
LVN A stated she was never notified about ants in the resident's bed and was never notified of this fact. If
she had been notified, she would have completed a head-to-toe assessment on CR#1for ant bites.
On 9/11/2024 at 11:00am during an interview with DON who stated CR#1 returned to the facility on
8/2/2024 with a Central Line (PICC). She was not considered a Skilled Charting (An assessment of a
high-risk resident on each shift for a period of time) resident , which would require a head-to-toe
assessment each shift, which would have noted the nursing staff addressed the PICC line. The DON stated
CR#1 was not considered a Skilled Charting resident and was unable to explain the reason other than
residents on a Skill Charting level is determined by the business office. He further stated residents stay on
Skill Charting only a certain number of times. The DON was unable to give an exact date resident was on
Skill Charting or removed.
The DON stated the nursing staff requirement for tube care for a resident who has a Central Line (PICC),
colostomy bag, cholecystectomy tube or any type IV insertion, the area must be checked for any drainage
amount and check for s/s of infection and continue to monitor that the tube stays intact. The DON stated
failure to ensure the tube was intact could result in the tube leaking inside resident, which could very well
cause sepsis. It was further stated the dressing around the area should not be dirty and the nurses are
expected to keep that area clean. However, if the gallbladder dressing isn't dirty or draining there is no
reason to bother it regardless of how long it's been there. She also stated it was not a problem if the
dressing appeared to come off the tube; it just showed it needed to be changed. The DON stated the PICC
line dressing should be changed every 7 days and it is unacceptable if it wasn' t. The DON stated the risk is
the resident would get an infection. The DON reiterated that each Saturday the dressing should have been
changed during day shift (6am - 2pm); however, the order went in on August 2nd at 8:20pm and since the
resident came in with a PICC line from the hospital the dressing is clean and the nurses would not have
change it.
On 9/10/2024 at 3:11pm during an interview with LVN B Nurse stated she was informed during shift change
by LVN A that FM found ants in CR#1's bed. LVN B stated CR#1 should have immediately received a
head-to-toe assessment .
LVN B stated she was aware of CR#1's Central PICC line on the right side of her neck and should be
flushed each shift. However, the only order for the PICC line was to be cleaned and dressing changed on
weekends (Saturday). LVN B stated when the resident returned to facility from the hospital, if the PICC line
had been checked, it would have populated the cleaning along with the weekly dressing change for all
shifts.

On 9/11/2024 at 3:55pm during an Interview with Admin revealed he assumed the nursing staff were
changing the dressing on the gallbladder and the dressing on the Central PICC line for CR#1. He stated the
nursing staff should have completed and on-going monitoring of the two areas to ensure there were no
signs or symptoms of infection. He stated he will ensure staff received in-service training and education on
skin assessments, environmental. In reference to the ants, he stated an assessment of CR#1 should have
been completed. He stated there is an ongoing pest control application. There was an application on
8/5/2024. He stated to his knowledge there isn't an ant problem.
On 9/27/24 at 7:24am during a telephone interview with MD - revealed CR#1 had a central line (PICC) at
some point in the past, but what CR#1 had at the facility was a CVC (used for short-term access. A needle
puncture to the vein in the neck, groin or upper chest) used to administer drugs, and fluids. MD stated
CR#1 is still his patient even at her current facility. MD stated in June CR#1 went to the hospital for
gallbladder issue, but the risk of surgery was to high based on her physical condition. MD stated that CR#1
has had several PICC lines in the past. However, the PICC lines can't stay in too long because of her
historical health. MD stated this facility is a good community that continues to communicate with him
regarding all his patients, especially CR#1. MD stated the facility calls often regarding concerns with
CR#1's condition. MD stated he has had no problem with the care the facility gave CR#1. MD stated the
correlation between Mrsa and the bandage is with mrsa there would have been a large abscess in the area
if the bandages had infected the resident. MD stated CR#1 had colonization on her skin and changing the
bandage too often would have created a secondary cross-contamination, which is what medical personnel
wanted to avoid. MD stated that the bandage being dirty was not an issue at this time for CR#1, unless it
was saturated with blood that was visible, had a foul odor and/or was really wet, which was not the case
with her. MD stated the facility monitored CR#1 very closely and he was aware of her conditions and/or
changes immediately. MD stated CR#1 has an enormous amount of risk factors for infection. MD stated
CR#1 was recently released from the hospital to her current nursing facility and has had to be returned to
the hospital for other medical issues. MD stated CR#1 will always have infections and other health issues
and go back and forth to the hospital due to her medical condition. MD reiterated he had no concerns with
her treatment at the facility and was always aware of CR#1 health issues when they occurred.
