F 0880 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some putting on all the PPE like the gown just to retrieve a breakfast tray from the residents. CNA B said no one told her she should or should not make this choice, she did what she felt like she should do and that was what she did. CNA B said she did not want to continue talking about this and ended the interview. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 8:25 AM with the Activity Director revealed she provided a census and indicated a plus sign next to Residents #2 and #4. The Activity Director said that meant those two residents were positive for COVID-19. The Activity Director said since the roommates of those residents did not have a plus sign next to them it meant they were negative for COVID-19. The Activity Director confirmed that Residents #1 and #3 were negative for COVID-19 and each in a room with a positive for COVID-19 resident (Residents #2 and #4). In an interview on 10/23/23 at 8:30 AM with LVN D revealed she cared for Residents #1, #2, #3, and #4. LVN D said Residents #2 and #4 were positive for COVID-19 and their roommates Residents #1 and #3 were negative for COVID-19. LVN D said the residents were in the same room because there was no where else to move them without contaminating the new room if they did become positive for COVID-19 later on. LVN D said that was why the choice was made to keep them all in the same room. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 8:45 AM with the Administrator revealed the facility hired a new DON last week who was out of the building for a few days so she was acting as the facility's Infection Preventionist for now. The Administrator/IP said Residents #2 and #4 were positive for COVID-19. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 10:35 AM with LVN D revealed since she knew Residents #1 and #3 were negative for COVID-19 and were in the same room as Residents #2 and #4 who were positive for COVID-19 she always wore PPE when entering their rooms. LVN D said she already had an N95 mask on so she put on a gown, gloves, and a face shield when caring for the residents. LVN D said she tried to care for the COVID-19 negative residents first, performed hand hygiene, changed her PPE, and then cared for the COVID-19 positive residents next. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 10:52 AM with CNA B revealed she knew to wear her N95 mask while in the facility because there were positive residents. CNA B said she knew that when caring for Residents #1, #2, #3, and #4 that she was supposed to wear a gown, gloves, and a face shield. CNA B said she was supposed to care for the COVID-19 negative residents, which were #1 and #3, first and perform hand hygiene and change her PPE before caring for the COVID-19 positive residents, which were #2 and #4. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 11:01 AM with CNA C revealed she knew to wear her N95 mask while in the facility because there were positive residents. CNA C said while she was not assigned to Residents #1, #2, #3, and #4 she knew that Residents #2 and #4 were COVID-19 positive and Residents #1 and #3 were COVID-19 negative. CNA C said if she had to care for these residents she would treat them the same and wear full PPE including a gown and gloves. Observation on 10/23/23 at 11:25 AM of Residents #3 and #4 revealed there was a family member in their room and they were telling Resident #3 to stay on their side of the room so they did not also catch COVID-19. Resident #3 was observed standing in the middle of the room with her walker and Resident #4 was sitting in her wheelchair a few feet away. Resident #3 began to walk backwards and sat down on her bed. Neither resident was wearing a mask.

F 0880 Residents #1, #2, #3, and #4's rooms revealed the following: Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety - Residents Affected - Some CNA B was wearing an N95 mask, put on a gown but did not put on gloves or a face shield and walked into Residents #1 and #2's room to take Resident #1 her lunch tray. CNA B asked LVN D if she needed to change her gown before taking Resident #2's tray to her and LVN D told her yes. CNA B took off her gown and washed her hands inside the room. CNA B put on a new gown, face shield, and gloves. CNA B walked into the room and sat down next to Resident #2 to assist her with her lunch meal. CNA C was wearing an N95 mask, put on a gown but did not put on gloves or a face shield and walked into Residents #2 and #4's room to take Resident #4 her tray. CNA C took off her gown and gloves, did not wash her hands, and walked out of the room. CNA C put on new gloves, a gown, and a face shield. CNA C walked to Resident #3's bed and sat her lunch tray down. CNA C took off her gown, gloves, and face shield and washed her hands before leaving the room. LVN D was attempting to correct CNA B and CNA C in live time ensuring they were wearing the correct PPE and washing their hands but they were not listening. LVN D was visibly frustrated and ended up leaving the area saying she could no longer be a part of the situation. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 12:10 PM with CNA C revealed she could not remember what she did or did not do because there was too much going on all at once. CNA C said she thought she did everything right. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 1:15 PM with CNA B revealed she knew what she did wrong but did not want to specify. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 4:30 PM with LVN D revealed she had a conversation before the lunch meal service with CNA B and CNA C and went through what they needed to do and what PPE they needed to have on. LVN D said there were also signs posted on the outside of the doors to the residents' rooms both inside and outside. LVN D said she was not sure why CNA B and CNA C failed to put on the correct PPE and failed to perform hand hygiene properly. In an interview on the phone on 10/23/23 at 5:41 PM with Physician A revealed he was one of the doctor's treating residents at the facility. Physician A said he was aware the facility had experienced a COVID-19 outbreak and had positive residents. Physician A said he was last at the facility on 10/19/23 to check on residents and provide support to the facility. Physician A said he did not know there were both COVID-19 positive and negative residents together in the same room. Physician A said he would not advise the facility to cohort residents unless they were both positive for COVID-19. Physician A said he did not think it would be wise or allowed by CMS or the state of Texas to cohort residents if one was COVID-19 positive and the other COVID-19 negative. In an interview on 10/23/23 at 12:18 PM with the Administrator/IP revealed the facility had recently experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 beginning on 10/11/23 when LVN E tested positive.

F 0880 Level of Harm - Immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety Residents Affected - Some residents on 10/11/23, one positive resident on 10/12/23, and then four positive residents on 10/19/23. The Administrator/IP said Residents #2 and #4 were two of the four residents who tested positive on 10/19/23. The Administrator/IP said both residents #2 and #4 had roommates which were Residents #1 and #3. The Administrator/IP said based on a lot of times previously the roommates of positive residents test positive for COVID-19 the next day after being exposed so she did cohort the positive and negative residents (referring to Residents #1, #2, #3, and #4). The Administrator/IP said she felt it would be upsetting and detrimental to move the residents around especially the specific groups of roommates (referring to Residents #1 and #2, and #3 and #4). The Administrator/IP said she and the staff were trying to keep the residents apart in the rooms and use separate PPE when caring for them. The Administrator/IP said it would also have triggered a lot of other residents to have had to move rooms if they did separate the positive and negative COVID-19 residents since the facility did not currently have any empty rooms. The Administrator/IP said she looked at the CDC's recommendations to see what their isolation guidelines were and informed the local health department the facility had COVID-19 positive residents and staff. The Administrator/IP said she could not find any information from the CDC about cohorting residents and only saw information regarding isolation and quarantine periods. The Administrator/IP said she usually wanted to try and move residents and not cohort them together in the same room if one was COVID-19 positive and the other was COVID-19 negative but was not sure what the facility's policy was and would have to look at it first. The Administrator/IP said the purpose of cohorting residents correctly based on their COVID-19 status was to stop the spread of the infection. The Administrator/IP said the risk of residents not cohorted based on their COVID-19 status put them at risk of getting infected by COVID-19. The Administrator/IP said when caring for these residents staff should be putting on full PPE meaning a gown, gloves, and a face shield. The Administrator/IP said PPE was available outside the residents' rooms and there were signs posted for staff to follow that showed the order to put the PPE on. The Administrator/IP said the purpose of putting on the PPE was to prevent others from getting COVID-19 germs on them and spreading that to other residents. The Administrator/IP said the risk of staff not putting on the correct PPE while caring for COVID-19 positive residents was that they could spread the infection to other residents. The Administrator/IP said she expected staff to also perform hand hygiene when entering/exiting a resident's room or putting on/taking off their PPE. The Administrator/IP said the purpose of performing hand hygiene was to get the germs off their hands to not spread infection. The Administrator/IP said staff had been in-serviced on what PPE to wear when going into rooms and when to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer. The Administrator/IP said the nursing staff and management were monitoring staff to ensure they were following infection control practices and procedures correctly. Review of the facility's policy, titled COVID-19 Plan, revised 03/24/21, reflected the following: Suspected case(s) of COVID-19 in the Facility .only patients with the same respiratory pathogen may be housed in the same room. For example, a patient with COVID-19 should not be housed in the same room as a patient with an undiagnosed respiratory infection .For a resident with known or suspected COVID-19: staff wear gloves, isolation gown, eye protection and an N95 or higher-level respirator if available Review of the facility's Infection Control- Precautions- Categories and Notices policy, dated August 2020, reflected the following: .3.

However, these patients should NOT be cohorted with patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection unless they are confirmed to have SARS-CoV-2 infection through testing . Patient Placement .Place a patient with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in a single-person room. The door should be kept closed (if safe to do so).
