**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to 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 communicable diseases and infections for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #1)
and 1 of 2 shower rooms observed for infection control. 1. The facility failed to ensure CNA A and CNA B
performed hand hygiene between gloves changes while providing incontinence care to Resident #1 and
failed to ensure CNA A used the required PPE for Resident #1, who was on enhanced barrier precautions
due to a wound on her toe on her right foot, during incontinence care on 08/20/25. 2. The facility failed to
ensure staff did not place soiled linens on the floor on the hall 500 shower room on 08/20/25. These failures
could place the residents at risk of cross-contamination and development of infection.Findings included: 1.
Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 08/20/25 reflected a [AGE] year-old female with an
admission date of 07/03/24. Diagnoses included hemiplegia effecting right dominant side (paralysis) and
dementia. An observation on 08/20/25 at 09:00 a.m. revealed CNA A and CNA B entering Resident #1's
room to provided incontinence care. There was a sign posted outside of the door which indicated Resident
was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. Both staff washed their hands and put on gloves and gown. CNA A
uncovered resident and unfastened the resident brief. CNA A then cleaned the resident's front pubic area
with several wipes, changing the surface of the wipe with each stroke. Both staff rolled the resident on her
side revealing urine had soaked through her brief onto the bottom sheet. CNA A stated she needed to get
more linens, removed her gown and gloves, left the room and used the hand sanitizer outside of the room,
and went to retrieve linens. CNA B covered the resident while waiting for CNA A to return. CNA A returned
to the room with clean linens placed in a plastic bag. CNA A then washed her hands and put on gloves but
did not put on a gown. CNA A returned to the bedside, removed the top sheet and blanket, held the soiled
linens against her uniform while CNA B opened a plastic bag for her to place the linens in. CNA A then
removed the resident brief, revealing she had a large bowel movement. CNA A cleaned the resident's anal
area from front to back, removing her gloves with each wipe, retrieving new gloves from the wall container
and returning to the bedside to continue with care. After the 3rd trip to retrieve gloves, CNA A then put on a
gown. CNA A continued to clean the resident until all the feces had been removed, but stated they would
have to clean her front again because she had not been able to get her clean. CNA A removed the soiled
brief and rolled the soiled sheet under the resident, revealing the mattress was wet with urine. CNA A took
a peri-wipe and wiped down the mattress. CNA A then removed the glove from her right and put on a clean
glove with performing hand hygiene. CNA A the placed the clean bottom sheet, draw sheet and a clean
brief under the resident and both staff rolled the resident over to her other side while CNA B removed the
soiled linen from under the resident, revealing the mattress was wet from urine on that side of the bed. CNA
B removed the soiled linens and placed them in a plastic bag. CNA B then removed her

gloves, washed her hands and put on clean gloves. CNA B then returned to the bedside and used a
peri-wipe to wipe the urine off the mattress, and with the same soiled gloves, pulled the clean sheet and
clean brief under the resident. Both staff then rolled the resident onto her back and CNA B provided pericare, going from front to back and downward toward the clean brief, while still wearing soiled gloves. Both
staff then closed the resident's brief. Both staff removed their PPE, gathered the trash, and soiled linens,
performed hand hygiene and left the room. In an interview on 08/20/25 at 09:45 a.m. with CBA A and CNA
B, CNA A stated she was supposed to do hand hygiene before and after care and stated she should have
washed her hands before going from dirty to the clean portion of the resident's care. CNA B stated they
were to sanitize their hands between glove changes. CNA B stated she thought she had done that, but then
realized after she had cleaned the mattress she now had on soiled gloves. CNA A stated she realized she
had forgot to put her gown back on when she returned to the room. Both staff stated anyone who was on
Enhance Barrier Precautions required them use a gown and gloves for all direct care to the resident. Both
staff stated failing to perform hand hygiene after gloves changes and failing to utilize proper PPE exposed
the resident to infections. 2. An observation and interview on 08/20/25 at 11:15 a.m. of the Hall 500 shower
room revealed CNA A in the shower room with Resident #2. A sheet, towel and blanket were observed
laying on the shower room floor under the sink area. CNA A stated it did not belong to Resident #1. She
stated it was laying on the floor when she entered the shower room with Resident #1. CNA A stated they
were not supposed to place dirty linen on the floors, but instead were to place them in a plastic bag. She
stated putting dirty linen on the floor caused the risk of spreading germs throughout the building. In an
interview with ADON C who was also the facility's infection preventionist on 08/20/25 at 03:00 p.m. stated
staff were to always perform hand hygiene between gloves changes. She stated they had to perform hand
hygiene when going from dirty to clean. She stated any resident who had a wound or any implanted
medical device required the use of enhanced barrier precautions to prevent the potential spread of
drug-resistant infections. She stated she had just completed an in service on hand hygiene and infection
control on 08/08/25 because she had started to see an increase in urinary tract infections. She stated she
does spot checks on her daily rounds and will watch the staff provide direct care. In an interview with the
DON on 08/20/25 at 4:54 p.m. she stated staff were to change their gloves and sanitize their hands when
going from dirty to clean. She stated staff were always required to perform hand hygiene before care and
after care and to wear a gown and gloves for direct care for any resident who was on enhanced barrier
precautions. She stated the staff had been taught to never place soiled linens on the floor. She stated they
do train on infection control during their skills checks and anytime they had any issues with infections in the
building. She stated the risk of not adhering to the protocol was increased risk of infections. Record review
