or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to establish and maintain an

(Resident #1) of three residents, reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
1. The facility failed to ensure CNA A changed gloves and performed hand hygiene during incontinence
care for Resident #1.
This failure placed residents at risk for healthcare associated cross contamination and infections.
Findings included:
1. Review of Resident #1's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 02/25/25, reflected the resident had a BIMs
score of 1 and was severely cognitively impaired. The resident had diagnoses which included stroke and
non-Alzheimer's dementia. The resident was occasionally incontinent of bowel and bladder. The functional
abilities of the resident was not documented.
Review of Resident #1's Comprehensive Care Plan, dated 11/01/24, reflected the resident had an activities
of daily living selfcare performance deficit related to dementia and decreased mobility.
Facility interventions included: Encourage resident to participate to the fullest extent possible.
An observation on 04/09/25 at 3:05 PM revealed Resident #1 was in bed. She was awake, alert, and
confused. CNA A prepared to perform incontinence care for the resident. The resident's brief was wet. CNA
A performed peri-care and cleaned the buttocks. CNA A did not change her gloves or perform hand
hygiene. CNA A put a clean brief on the resident and covered her with the linens.
An interview on 04/09/25 at 3:15 PM revealed CNA A knew that she was supposed to change gloves and
perform hand hygiene but did not want to because the resident played with the water in the sink.
An interview on 04/09/25 at 4:10 PM with the Infection Preventionist revealed staff were supposed to clean
a resident, change gloves, perform hand hygiene, and then put a clean brief on the resident. The Infection
Preventionist said failure to change gloves and perform hand hygiene could cause issues with infection
control.
An interview with the DON on 04/09/25 at 5:20 PM revealed staff were supposed to change their gloves
and perform hand hygiene after cleaning a resident. The DON said failure to do so could cause infection.
