The DON stated the postings were located in the South side High hallway. The DON stated she guessed
that during admissions that residents and families were informed about where the postings are were
located at. The DON stated she was not sure if the residents knew where to see the postings other than
during new admission. The DON stated residents who are were in the wheelchairs probably were not able
to see the posting/policies towards the top of the wall. The DON stated all the staff oversaw and make
made sure residents in wheelchairs were able to see the policies/postings. The DON stated residents
probably may not be able to see the fine print since she was not able to without her glasses. The DON
stated that the other residents of the far hallways might have issues with viewing and seeing the
policies/posting. The DON stated the risk to the residents was they might not know how to contact the
Ombudsman or know who the abuse coordinator was.
Interview with the Administrator on 01/05/2023 at 11:41 a.m., the Administrator stated the facility had
residents with dementia, Alzheimer's, and were very forgetful. The Administrator stated that himself and the
HR clerk were responsible for the policy postings and were audited quarterly. The Administrator stated the
postings were located in the South Side High hallway. The Administrator stated the Activities Director and
Champions (Champions are Department head that go around the facility speaking to residents and seeing
if they had any concerns and if they were alright) ensured residents know knew where the postings are
were located at. The Administrator stated residents should know where the postings were. The
Administrator stated if residents were to ask, the facility staff could take them to those postings and maybe
they could ask their family members. The Administrator stated because of dementia the residents might
know or might not know where the postings were located. The Administrator stated he would hope that the
residents in the wheelchair would be able to see the postings towards the top of the wall. The Administrator
stated he would not be able to answer who oversaw if the residents were able to see the fine print on the
postings. The Administrator stated the risk to residents not being able to see the postings would be that
they would not be able to know who to contact in regard to anything they might want to ask.
Record review of the, undated, facility Mandatory Postings Sheet indicated the postings required to be
posted and if they were posted or not. The posting Sheet also showed the expiration of two certain posting.
Record review of the facility policy of Resident's Rights Sheet, dated 11/28/2016, indicated on information

Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to post in a place readily accessible to
residents, and family members and legal representatives of residents, the results of the most recent survey
of the facility conducted by Federal or State surveyors, and failed to have reports with respect to any
surveys made respecting the facility during the 3 preceding years, and any plan of correction in effect with

surveys reviewed for survey results.
Residents Affected - Many
The facility failed to ensure the facility notebook which contained the survey results from previous surveys
contained reports for the survey of 10/21/2021 which included plans of corrections in effect.
This failure could place residents at risk of not knowing corrective actions the facility was to take to address
past deficiencies and violations.
Findings include:
Observation and record review on 01/05/2022 at 3:45 PM in the facility reception area revealed a binder
labeled as containing recent survey outcomes. Examination of the contents of the binder revealed there
was no information regarding the specific deficiencies or violations identified during, or plans of correction
developed, in response to the previous federal and state survey ending 10/21/2021.
In an interview and observation on 01/05/2023 at 04:01 PM, the Administrator said the binder from the
facility reception area was the one for family and resident review regarding of recent survey outcomes. He
said the binder did contain the summary of areas of deficiency (3630) from the last survey in 2021. He said
it did not contain documentation of the facility's plans of correction for the last survey in 2021. He said he
was not aware making these documents available for review was required. He said if documents showing
the facility deficiencies and plans of correction were not available to residents and families, they would not
know what to look for in terms of what was going on in the facility with different types of deficiencies.
Record review of the facility policy Resident Rights, dated 11/28/2016, documented .the resident had the
right to examine the results of the most recent survey of the facility conducted by Federal or State surveyors

Record review of Resident #41's Care Plan, dated 12/04/2020 (revised on 07/29/2021), documented the
resident was at risk for bowel incontinence and falls due to limited range of motion to both lower extremities.
No care plan to focusing on limited range of motion of the lower extremities was found it the care plan.
In observation and interview on 01/03/2023 at 8:58 AM, Resident #41's lower body was observed to be
covered with a blanket, with absence of his left leg and with his right leg bent up so his right heel was
higher than his knee. Resident #41 stated he was missing his left leg and said he was not able to straighten
out his right leg. He said he did not remember anyone doing any exercises to straighten his leg or putting
anything on his leg to keep it from bending more or to help straighten it out.
In observation and interview on 01/05/23 at 10:21 AM, LVN K helped Resident #41 try to stretch out his
right leg. The resident, with assistance from LVN K, was not able to stretch his right leg enough to form a
90-degree angle. LVN K said he had not noted any change in the resident's baseline in terms of range of
motion. He said NAs would bring changes in resident's functioning to his attention but no changes had
been reported regarding Resident #41. He said he did not know how to see the care plan for residents.
In an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:04 PM, the ADON said NAs monitored residents for changes in condition
and would report if a resident was not able to do what they had been able to do before. Also, nurses doing
weekly skin assessments would notice changes. The ADON said when Resident #41 received showers he
wanted to go to bed right away and rarely agreed to sit in the wheelchair. This might have limited the staff's
opportunities to assess the status of how the leg looks.
In an interview on 01/05/23 at 06:03 PM, the DON said nurses monitored and assessed residents for range
of motion and if NAs noticed a change, they would notify the nurse. Changes in range of motion would
result in a referral to therapy. The risk to a resident of not having a contracture identified and addressed
though treatment was that the contracture could get worse, and that contractures could result in discomfort
and pain.

Provide appropriate care for a resident to maintain and/or improve range of motion (ROM), limited ROM
and/or mobility, unless a decline is for a medical reason.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident who entered the facility
without limited range of motion did not experience reduction in range of motion unless the resident's clinical
condition demonstrated that a reduction in range of motion was unavoidable and a resident with limited
range of motion received appropriate treatment and services to increase range of motion and/or to prevent
further decrease in range of motion for one of six residents (Resident #41) reviewed for range of motion.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #41 did not develop a contracture of his right leg, which he did not
have when he entered the facility.
This failure could put residents at risk of decreased range of motion of their extremities thus reducing their
quality of life and their capacity to care for themselves.

on his leg to keep it from bending more or to help straighten it out.
Residents Affected - Some
In an interview on 01/05/23 10:13 AM, NA C said Resident #41's leg was bent permanently. She had never
seen a brace or device for the purpose of keeping the leg from pulling up. He did have some pain to his
right hip, so staff would put a folded sheet under his hip to keep him comfortable. She said she saw staff
(unidentified) give him some exercises to stretch out his right leg but could not remember when she had
last saw this. She did not remember receiving any special instructions regarding the movement of his right
leg.
In an observation and interview on 01/05/23 at 10:21 AM, LVN K was observed to help Resident #41 try to
stretch out his right leg. The resident, with assistance from LVN K, was not able to stretch his right leg
enough to form a 90-degree angle. LVN K said he had not noted any change in the resident's baseline in
terms of range of motion. He said NAs would bring changes in resident's functioning to his attention but no
changes had been reported regarding Resident #41. He said if changes in a resident's range of motion
were noticed, Physical Therapy would assess the resident to see if there was a change in the resident's
baseline functioning and initiate therapy as needed. He said he did not know how to see the care plan for
residents.
In an interview and record review on 01/05/23 at 11:21 AM, the Director of Rehabilitation said Resident #41
had not been seen for physical therapy in the past year. She said prevention of contractures was part of the
function of physical therapy. She stated Resident #41 was fitted for a prosthetic device two years ago and
that was the last time she remembered him being on the PT case load.
In an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:04 PM, the ADON said NAs monitored residents for changes in condition
and would report if a resident was not able to do what they had been able to do before. Also, nurses doing
weekly skin assessments would notice changes. The ADON said when Resident #41 received showers he
wanted to go to bed right away and rarely agreed to sit in the wheelchair. This might have limited the staff's
opportunities to assess the status of how the leg looked.
In an interview on 01/05/23 at 06:03 PM, the DON said nurses monitored and assessed residents for range
of motion and if NAs noticed a change, they would notify the nurse. Changes in range of motion would
result in a referral to therapy. The risk to a resident of not having a contracture identified and addressed was
the contracture could get worse, and contractures could result in discomfort and pain.
In an interview on 01/05/23 at 06:06 PM, the Director of Rehabilitation said the last time Resident #41
received physical therapy was in October of 2020. He had not been assessed for physical therapy since
then.
Record review of the facility policy Resident Assessment, dated 2003, documented .comprehensive
assessments would be completed at admission and annually, and a Resident Assessment Instrument
would be completed every three months and as needed. Assessments would address a number of areas
including but not limited to medically defined conditions and prior medical history, medical status

provide appropriate care for a resident with a feeding tube.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure a resident who was fed by enteral
means received the appropriate treatment and services to restore, if possible, oral eating skills to prevent
complications of enteral feeding including but not limited to aspiration pneumonia, diarrhea, vomiting,
dehydration, metabolic abnormalities, and nasal-pharyngeal ulcers for 5 of 6 residents (Residents #70,
#287, #29, #61 and #186) reviewed for gastrostomy tube care.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #70, Resident #287, Resident #29, Resident #61, and Resident #186
were positioned at a 30-degree angle during enteral feeding.
This failure could place residents at risk for aspiration, pneumonia, dehydration, and metabolic
abnormalities which could result in additional treatment and a decline in the residents' health if not
positioned correctly.

Record review of Resident #70's face sheet, dated 12/02/2022, indicated the resident was a [AGE] year old
male admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had a diagnosis diagnoses which included of dysphagia
(Difficulty swallowing foods or liquids, arising from the throat or esophagus, ranging from mild difficulty to
complete and painful blockage), pneumonia (Infection that inflames air sacs in one or both lungs, which
may fill with fluid), and gastrostomy status (an opening into the stomach from the abdominal wall, made
surgically for the introduction of food).
Record review of Resident #70's Care Plan, dated 12/02/2022 , indicated the resident requires required
tube feeding and with the HOB being elevated to 30 degrees during and thirty minutes after tube feeding.

The facility failed to ensure an oxygen sign was hung outside of Resident's #289's room, who received
oxygen.
This failure could place resident(s) at risk of hazardous exposures such as explosions and being flammable
that may led to physical harm.
Findings include:
Observation on 01/03/2023 at 09:08 a.m. revealed, Resident #289, in his room on in his wheelchair using
oxygen. It was noted there was not sign posted outside of his room telling patients, staff, or visitors oxygen
was in use.
Interview with LVN F on 01/03/2023 at 9:13 a.m., LVN F stated the oxygen sign up on the side of the doors
meant there was oxygen in use. LVN F stated every resident who used oxygen had to have one posted
outside their rooms. LVN F stated even if it was not continuous, as long as oxygen was in the room. LVN F
stated the risk to residents was that if it made contact the oxygen could explode or go up into flames. LVN F
stated a lot of the residents who smoked had concentrator with the oxygen inside of it and if contact was
made with the [NAME] the oxygen could explode.
Interview with the DON on 01/05/2023 at 2:00 p.m., the DON stated the oxygen signs posted outside of the
resident's room and were for people to be aware that the resident was on oxygen. The DON stated the
oxygen signs let staff, residents, and family members know to be careful because there was oxygen in use.
The DON stated the risk to the residents having no posted sign(s) would be to make sure not to use
anything flammable that could cause a fire. The DON stated that every staff was responsible for ensuring
the signs were posted. The DON stated the facility had an oxygen policy about bagging but was not sure
about the postings.
Interview with the Administrator on 01/05/2023 at 11:41 a.m., the Administrator stated the oxygen signs lets
the family members, residents, and staff know that oxygen was being used in the room(s). The
Administrator stated the oxygen signs posted alerted family, friends, and staff that oxygen was in use. The
Administrator stated the facility had an oxygen policy. The Administrator stated he did not see a risk if there
were no signs that oxygen was in use because they did not have any residents that who smoked at the
facility. The Administrator stated the oxygen orders were posted on PCC (Point Click Care software used to
document resident information) for the nurses to see and to follow. The Administrator stated the risk to the
residents not having the signs posted would be to alert the families in case they did smoke and vape. The
Administrator stated he could not answer the risk because he was not clinical and would not know.
Record review of the facility policy Oxygen Administration dated 02/13/2007, states stated on Procedure 11
to place No Smoking signs in area when oxygen is administered and stored. Store oxygen cannister in an
area free of flammable substances. Avoid the use of electrical appliances in the area of

professional principles; and all drugs and biologicals must be stored in locked compartments, separately
locked, compartments for controlled drugs.
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure, in accordance with State
and Federal laws, all drugs and biologicals were stored in locked compartments under proper temperature
controls and permitted only authorized personnel to have access to the keys for one of two medication
rooms (South side medication room) reviewed for medication storage.
The facility failed to ensure the South Side medication room door was locked and supervised by staff.
This failures could place residents at risk for having access to medications resulting in drug diversion or
accidental ingestion.

During an observation and record review on 01/03/23 at 08:25 AM revealed the medication room door open
and unattended in the south side nurses station. The medication room was noted to have several blister
pack medications that included Donepezil (treats Alzheimer's disease), Memantine (treats Alzheimer's
disease), Simvastatin (treat high cholesterol), Metformin (treats diabetes) and several other medications
that belonged to different residents. There was a small refrigerator that also contained medications such as
insulin vials and pens.
During an interview on 01/04/23 at 09:40AM LVN F said she worked on the south side nurses station where
the medication room was located. LVN F said the medication room door was supposed to be kept closed
and locked when no one was using it. LVN F said she had never noticed the door not closing when she
would let it go. LVN F said the times she would exit the medication room the door would self-close.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:25 PM the DON said it was her expectation for the medication room
door to be closed and locked if no staff was using it. The DON said the failure occurred because someone
failed to make sure the door was closed when they left the medication room. The DON said if the door was
not closed then anyone could get enter the room to include residents or visitors.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:42 PM the Administrator said the medication room door was
expected to be closed if there was no one there. The Administrator said he was not sure why the door was
not closed and that they had checked the door and it had been working properly. The Administrator said if
the door was not closed then anybody can have access to the medications.
Record review of the facility's document titled Pharmacy policy and procedure dated March 2003 indicated
in part:
All medications and other drugs including treatment items shall be stored in a locked cabinet or room and
inaccessible to patients and visitors. Drugs shall be accessible only to authorized personnel, only the
authorized personnel will have access to the keys to the medication room and medication carts.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
Based on observation, interviews and record review the facility failed to follow menus for 1 of 1 resident
meal (lunch) reviewed in that:
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure puree foods were prepared and met the number of puree residents who
required puree meals.
This deficient practice could place residents who consume food prepared by the facility kitchen at risk of
having their nutritional status unmet.
Findings include:
Observation on 01/04/2023 at 10:00 a.m. revealed, Dietary Staff pureed carrots for 15 residents and did not
yield 15 portions but instead 13 servings. Dietary staff scooped out 15 severing from a measuring 4-quart
container into 8 inch deep well metal container. Dietary Staff used an ivory scoop to scoop out the portions
from the mixture into another 8 inch deep well metal container. Staff counted out loud 13 servings. It was
observed/heard staff tried again to recount and the outcome was the same with 13 scoops.
Interview with Director of Food and Nutrition J on 01/05/2023 at 09:02 a.m., stated for the puree from
yesterday (01/04/2023) he knew he did not come out with the correct servings it was because the ticket has
had a comment for suggested portion sizes, and we were used the wrong scoops. DOFN J stated the risk
to the resident if staff were not trained there was a risk of the residents getting sick. DOFN J stated all his
staff were trained on/in the kitchen.
Record review of the facility's recipe for the honey Glazed Carrots, dated 01/04/2023, indicated the recipe
yielded 12 servings and a #10 scoop was to be used. The recipe indicated to get actual serving size, puree
the number of portions needed, adding adequate liquid needed to achieve desired consistency as
appropriate for resident, then divide the total amount equally by the number of portions pureed.
Record review of facility's resident's weights and vital exceptions, dated 01/04/2023, did not indicate any
significant weight loss from the past three months.

Employ or obtain outside professional resources to provide services in the nursing home when the facility
does not employ a qualified professional to furnish a required service.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review the facility failed to obtain services furnished by outside resources
in a timely manner one of six residents (Resident #49) reviewed for timeliness of services provided by
outside resources.
The facility failed to ensure Resident #49's physician's order to receive paracentesis (removing excess fluid
from the abdomen) every two weeks was followed, and arrangements for paracentesis were not made in a
timely manner. Which resulted in Resident #49 experiencing discomfort, difficult breathing, pain and
increased anxiety.
This failure could place residents at risk of not receiving treatments on a timely basis due to delays in
having treatment arrangements made.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #49's face sheet, dated 01/04/2023, documented a 61- year-old female who was
initially admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE]. Her diagnoses included hepatic failure
(liver failure), cirrhosis of the liver, acute kidney failure, end stage renal (kidney) disease, anxiety disorder,
ascites (abnormal build-up of fluid in the abdomen), and acute pulmonary edema (accumulation of fluid in
the lungs).
Record review of Resident #49's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], documented her BIMS was 8, which
indicted the resident had moderate cognitive impairment. She required extensive assistance from a staff
member to move around in bed, to transfer between surfaces, dress, eat, and use the toilet. She required
limited assistance from one staff member to move around the facility in her wheelchair and for personal
hygiene. She did not have any pain or shortness of breath.
Record review of Resident #49's care plan, revised 12/19/2022, documented she had liver failure and
ascites. A goal of care was she would not have symptoms of complications related to fluid overload
(symptoms include swollen limbs, abdominal bloating, sudden weight gain, difficulty in breathing, or
decreased urine output). She had liver disease with interventions which included to monitor, document and
report to the physician signs of complications such as ascites and she was to have paracentesis as
scheduled.
Record review of Resident #49's nurse's progress note, dated 11/30/2022, documented the resident had
returned from an appointment for paracentesis. No other notes regarding the resident having received
paracentesis were found in review of all other nurse's progress notes from 11/30/2022 through 01/03/2022.
Record review of Resident #49's History and Physical, dated 12/13/2022, documented the resident had
gone to the hospital because she was vomiting blood and was to transfer back to the facility. Baseline labs
were to be ordered.
Record review of Resident #49's Laboratory Report documented a laboratory sample was collected on
12/14/2022 and results were released on 12/16/2022.

Record review of Resident #49's physician's order, dated 12/14/2022, documented she was to have an
Ultrasound guided paracentesis every 2 weeks for 6 months for a diagnosis of abdominal ascites (swelling
of the stomach).
Record review of Resident #49's nurse's progress note, dated 12/28/2022, documented all necessary
paperwork to schedule paracentesis had been sent to the hospital where Resident #49 usually had the
procedure, and the hospital said they would call the facility back in about two days.
Record review of Resident #49's nurse's progress note, dated 12/30/2022, documented the facility
contacted the hospital and the hospital had not yet scheduled an appointment for paracentesis.
In observation and interview on 01/03/23 at 09:22 AM, Resident #49 was lying in bed. She said her
stomach was very large, and she looked pregnant because of her liver. She pulled back the covers and her
abdomen appeared very large. She said because of the swelling sometimes her stomach hurt, and she
could not turn over. She said she had gone to the hospital in November (2022) to have the fluid drained out
of her stomach but had not gone since then and she was very uncomfortable. She said the staff at the
facility had not talked to her about arrangements to go in to have her stomach drained.
In observation and interview on 01/04/23 at 09:44 AM, Resident #49 continued to complain of discomfort
because of ascites, saying she could not move around easily. She said that she had mentioned her
discomfort to staff members. She said her doctor told her she should go for paracentesis every two weeks.
It was observed the resident had difficulty breathing when talking, taking breaths after every two or three
words.
In interview and observation on 01/04/23 at 9:50 AM it was observed Resident #49's abdomen was
distended (swollen) to the point her navel was popped out and it was observed that she had difficulty talking
because she was short of breath. Resident #49 reported it hurt her to have her stomach touched. She said
her pain level was at a level 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst.
In an interview on 01/04/23 at 10:03 AM, LVN B said about a week prior to the interview Resident #49 told
the LVN she felt really full and wanted the water out of her stomach. LVN B said the resident had a standing
order to go for paracentesis every two weeks but it had been discontinued in November 2022 because she
was doing better and in December 2022 the resident had no more orders for paracentesis. LVN B said the
nurses checked Resident #49's abdomen for fluid build-up once a week because it could get a lot fuller in
one week. She stated checking the resident's abdomen for fluid build-up was not documented anywhere.
LVN B said she started noticing fluid build-up in Resident #49's abdomen about two weeks ago. She said
last week LVN G called the hospital where the resident received paracentesis and the facility was waiting
for a reply from the hospital to schedule the procedure. LVN B stated if Resident #49's regular schedule of
going in every two weeks had been followed she would already have had a paracentesis. She said if a
paracentesis was not done quickly enough the resident could go into fluid overload (too much fluid in the
body). LVN B said a fluid overload could put pressure on the resident's heart and put her at risk of heart
problems.
In an interview and record review on 01/04/23 at 10:28 AM, LVN G provided an appointment listing for
Resident #49 for paracentesis that showed the resident had been scheduled for paracentesis every two
weeks since June with the last being scheduled for 11/23/2022. The LVN stated the resident had a new
standing order dated 12/14/2022 to receive paracentesis every two weeks. LVN G said she faxed
necessary paperwork, H&P and lab results, to the hospital on [DATE]. She said she called the hospital
multiple times since then without success, with the hospital saying they did not have enough staff

In an interview on 01/04/23 at 02:49 PM, LVN G said Resident #49's new order for paracentesis was
received on 12/14/2022. When she contacted the hospital, they said they needed a more recent H&P and
labs before they could schedule the appointment. The LVN said although the new H&P was dated
12/13/2022 it was not showing up in the system. She did not know why the H&P would not be showing up in
the resident's records. LVN G said Resident #49 had the required lab work done and results were available
on 12/16/2022. The H&P and lab work were faxed to the hospital on [DATE]. The LVN said she did not know
why the paperwork went out on 12/21/2022 because she was out of the facility for several days during that
time.
Residents Affected - Some
In an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:29 PM, the ADON said she was aware of the delay in getting Resident
#49's paracentesis scheduled. She said staff had a hard time getting appointments scheduled since
November (2022). In Resident #49's case they needed current labs. She said LVN G got an appointment
arranged for paracentesis for Resident #49 on 01/06/2022. She said the risk of delaying paracentesis was
fluid overload which could result in wheezing, pressure on the heart and the resident's lungs filling with
fluid.
In an interview on 01/05/23 at 05:58 PM, the DON said she was aware of the delay in scheduling Resident
#49's paracentesis. The plan was to schedule the procedure at the end of December (2022), but the
hospital needed a new H&P and labs. The holidays did not help because it was supposed to be done by the
end of December. The nurses were responsible for monitoring Resident #49's status by seeing if the
resident had trouble breathing, gaining weight, not getting up as usual, and by the resident reporting she
was uncomfortable. The risk to the resident of needing paracentesis and not having it included being very
uncomfortable, having trouble breathing and cardiac risks which included CHF (Congestive Heart failure heart disease that affects pumping action of the heart) and pulmonary edema (excess fluid in the lungs).
Record review of the facility policy Appointments, dated 2003, documented .the facility would assist
resident with outside facility appointments to ensure the resident attended any scheduled appointments.
Record review of the facility policy Physician's Orders, dated 2015, documented .the nurse receiving the
order would contact any external facility as required, and if the order requires documentation, it would be
directed to the proper electronic administration record once the order was completed.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**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 2 residents (Resident #18)
reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
CNA A failed to change her gloves after they became contaminated during incontinent care while assisting
Resident #18.
This failure could place resident's at risk for cross contamination and the spread of infection.
Finding include:
Record review of Resident #18's admission record dated 01/03/23 indicated she was admitted to the facility
on [DATE] with diagnoses of age related cognitive decline and muscle weakness. She was [AGE] years of
age.
Record review of Resident #18's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] indicated in part: BIMS = 08 indicating
resident was moderately impaired. Urinary continence = always incontinent. Bowel continence = always
incontinent.
Record review of Resident #18's care plan dated 08/04/21 indicated in part: Focus: Resident has bowel
incontinence. Resident has bladder incontinence. Goal: Resident will remain free from skin breakdown due
to incontinence and brief use through the review date, resident will not have any complications related to
bowel incontinence. Interventions: Provide pericare after each incontinent episode.
During an observation on 01/03/23 at 09:22 AM CNAs A and CNA D performed incontinent care for
Resident #18. Both CNAs entered the room, sanitized their hands, put on gloves, closed the door and
explained to the resident what they were going to do. CNA A undid the resident's brief and used some wet
wipes to wipe the residents front peri-area. Both CNAs then turned Resident #18 on her side. The resident
had a bowel movement and started to urinate when they turned her on her side. CNA A took some wet
wipes and wiped the urine and bowel movement. The urine and bowel movement came in contact with CNA
A's gloves as she wiped the resident's bottom. CNA A removed the soiled brief and placed it in a trash bag.
While wearing the same gloves, CNA A took the clean brief and fastened it to Resident #18. While still
wearing the same gloves CNA A covered the resident with her blanket, pressed the down button on the bed
control to lower the bed and adjusted the call light button.
During an interview on 01/04/23 at 02:24 PM CNA A said she was supposed to change her gloves during
resident care whenever they became contaminated. CNA A said if she did not change her gloves then that
could lead to cross contamination and possible urinary tract infections. CNA A said she should have
changed her gloves before applying the new brief on Resident #18. CNA A said she got nervous and forgot
to change her gloves after she wiped the resident's peri-area. CNA A said they were trained on infection
control and knew she was supposed to have changed her gloves after coming in contact with the urine and
bowel movement but just got nervous and forgot.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:25 PM, the DON said it was her expectation for the aides to change
their gloves when they became contaminated, she said if they did not then that could lead to

cross contamination and infections. The DON said the failure occurred probably because the aide got
nervous and forgot to change her gloves once they became contaminated. The DON said she would do
random checks on nursing staff to make sure they were following infection control procedures.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:42 PM, the Administrator said the staff were expected to change
their gloves if they became contaminated to prevent infections. The Administrator said they provided training
to the staff regarding infection control. He said the failure probably occurred because the CNA got nervous
and forgot to change her gloves.
Record review of the facility document titled Fundamentals of infection control precautions dated 2019
indicated in part: A variety of infection control measures are used for decreasing the risk of transmission of
microorganisms in the facility. These measures make up the fundamental of infection control precautions.
Gloves are worn for three important reasons, to provide protective barrier and prevent gross contamination
of the hand when touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions, mucous membranes and non-intact
skin. The wearing of gloves in specified circumstances will reduce the risk of exposure to bloodborne
pathogens and is mandatory for all employees. To reduce the likelihood that hands of personnel
contaminated with microorganisms from a resident or a fomite can transmit these microorganisms to
another resident, in this situation, gloves must be changed between resident contact, and hands washed
after gloves are removed. Wearing gloves does not replace the need for hand washing because gloves may
have a small inapparent defects or be torn during use and hands can become contaminated during removal
of gloves. Failure to change gloves between resident contacts is an infection control hazard.

(Each deficiency must be preceded by full regulatory or LSC identifying information)
F 0919
Make sure that a working call system is available in each resident's bathroom and bathing area.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review the facility failed to ensure it was adequately equipped
to allow residents to call for staff assistance through a communication system which relayed the call directly
to a staff member or to a centralized staff work area for 3 of 3 public restrooms reviewed for resident call
systems.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure 3 public restrooms, that were accessible to the residents, had a call light
system.
This failure could place residents at risk of being unable to obtain timely assistance for activities of daily
living or in the event of an emergency.
Findings include:
During an observation on 01/05/23 at 10:50 AM revealed 1 public restroom on the south side of the facility
and 2 public restrooms on the north side of the facility, 2 of the 3 restrooms were noted to be kept unlocked
on several occasions. The restrooms did not have a call light system. These restrooms were in an area
where residents had access to them.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 10:58 AM, RN E said he saw some resident's using the public restroom
on the south side. RN E said he saw residents use the restroom before that were ambulatory. RN E said the
residents normally used the restrooms in their rooms and rarely used the public restroom. RN E said he
had not thought about the restroom not having a call light system.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 11:02 AM, LVN G said she had not seen the resident's using the public
restrooms on the north side of the facility. LVN G said one of the restrooms self-locked when the door
closed but the other one did not and could be opened if no one was using it. LVN G said the residents
normally used the restroom in their rooms or the shower room restroom which did have access to a call
light. LVN G said she had not considered residents could access the restroom and there was no call light
accessible.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:25 PM, the DON said it was her expectation for residents to have
access to a call light. She said the residents were not supposed to use the public restrooms in the facility
and was not aware of them using it. The DON said they would work on keeping the restrooms locked and
residents only were allowed to use their own restrooms or the ones in the shower rooms as they had call
lights in them. The DON said if a resident used the public restroom and needed assistance, they would not
be able to call for help as there were no call lights in those restrooms.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 01:38 PM, the Administrator said they did not have a policy for call
lights.
During an interview on 01/05/23 at 02:42 PM, the Administrator said he thought the restrooms were kept
locked and the residents would use the restrooms in their rooms or shower rooms as they had call light
access. The Administrator said they would get that taken care off. The Administrator said he understood
how that could be an issue if a resident went in and fell and would not be able to call for help.
