F 0880 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 establish and 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 3 of 9 residents (Resident #1, Resident #2, and Resident #3) reviewed for infection control practices. Residents Affected - Some 1. The facility failed to ensure ADON A and the Restorative Aide applied enhanced barrier precautions while transferring Resident # 1 from her wheelchair to her bed. 2. The facility failed to ensure that CNA J and CNA G sanitized their hands when providing incontinent care to Resident #2 and Resident #3. These failures could place residents at risk of cross-contamination and infections leading to illness. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's undated face sheet indicated the resident was a 92-year- old female who was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of dementia (a group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning), Dysphagia (a term for difficulty swallowing), and Neuromuscular Dysfunction of Bladder (condition that affects the muscles and nerves that controls the bladder). Record review of Resident #1's annual MDS assessment, dated 3/15/2025, revealed a BIMS summary score of 3, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The MDS also indicated Resident #1 was dependent with all activities of daily living (ADL). Record review of Resident #1's care plan initiated on 11/05/2024, indicated Resident #1 required enhanced barrier precautions determined by presence of Foley Catheter. Interventions included follow facility's enhanced barrier precaution policy and staff will wear an isolation gown and gloves while providing all contact care. During an observation on 3/29/2025 at 1:19 PM, ADON A and the restorative aide was observed transferring Resident #1 from the wheelchair to the bed without wearing proper personal protective equipment. Enhanced barrier precautions signage was posted on outside door and PPE was noted outside room. During an interview on 3/29/2025 at 1:49 PM, the restorative aide said she forgot to put on her protective personal equipment (PPE) prior to assisting the ADON with the transfer. The restorative aide (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients.

ADON A said she had been educated on EBP and PPE and should have donned (to put on and use PPE properly to achieve the intended protection and minimize the risk of exposure) her gloves and gown. ADON A said the infection control training was a couple of weeks ago and included EBP. She said the risk of not wearing PPE was infection. Record review of Resident #2's undated face sheet indicated the resident was a [AGE] year-old female who was readmitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses of cerebral infarction (blood flow to the brain is blocked, leading to brain tissue damage), Hemiplegia (paralysis or weakness on one side of the body), and Type 2 Diabetes( long-term condition in which the body has trouble controlling blood sugar).

Record review of Resident #2's care plan initiated on 9/05/2024, indicated Resident #2 was at risk for an ADL Self Care Performance Deficit related to decline in health. The interventions included providing total assistance of 1-2 staff participation to use toilet/incontinent care. Observation and Interview on 03/29/25 at 11:35 AM Resident #2 said the staff provided incontinent care routinely and as needed.

She said there was no hand sanitizer available in the room and would have to go in the hallway to sanitize her hands. She said she did not wash her hands, but she did use sanitizer prior to donning gloves and after completion of incontinent care. CNA J said the risk of using the same gloves and double gloving was spreading infection and cross contamination.
