Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
**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 26 of 26 residents
(Residents #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21,
#22, #23, #24, #25, #26) reviewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Some
1. The facility failed to isolate COVID-19 positive Residents #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13,
#14, and #15, after they tested positive for COVID-19 and continued to cohort with negative tested
Residents #4, #6, #16, and #17 on the same unit. Resident #4 (negative) was cohorted with Resident #12
(positive) in the same room.
2. The facility failed to ensure staff changed PPE between working with COVID-19 positive and COVID-19
negative residents.
3. The facility failed to ensure Resident #18 stayed in quarantine while being COVID-19 positive which
resulted in Residents #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25 and #26 being exposed.
4. The facility failed to ensure proper PPE was being worn by CNA-F while in Resident #19's room.
5. The facility failed to ensure proper PPE technique when CNA A failed to complete hand hygiene after
providing care to a COVID-19 positive Resident #3's, and before providing care to a COVID-19 negative
Resident #4.
An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) situation was identified on 10/11/24. While the IJ was removed on 10/13/24,
the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of a pattern with potential for more than minimal harm
due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems.
These failures could place residents at risk for exposure to COVID-19 which could result in serious illness,
hospitalization and/or death.
Findings Include:
Side B was broken down into two units:
Unit 1 from 9/24/24 to 10/4/24 was the facilities Hot zone that housed COVID positive residents.
Unit 1, from 10/12/24 until time of exit was the step-down unit for the male locked unit (cold)

Record review of the facility's COVID testing log, on 10/9/24, indicated on 9/30/24 the facility conducted
COVID-19 testing on 17 residents who were on the facility's male memory care unit. Upon receiving the
results, the facility moved Resident #1 identified as positive to the hot zone for isolation.
During observation on 10/10/24 at 10:45 AM to 12:15PM, CNA A and CNA B working on the memory unit
wore the same PPE while working with all 16 residents regardless of Covid status.
Residents Affected - Some
During an observation on 10/10/24 at 11:20 AM, CNA A wore a gown and mask, no face shield, goggles, or
gloves were worn. CNA A wiped Resident #3's (COVID Positive) nose with a tissue and did not use hand
sanitizer or change PPE. CNA A then tried to stop Resident #4 (COVID negative) from trying to get items
out of the community refrigerator located in the dining room. Resident #4 touched multiple juice cups and
other cups. At 11:30 AM items from the refrigerator were then served to residents in the dining room for
lunch.
During an observation on 10/10/24 at 10:55 AM, Resident #5 (COVID positive) was sitting in his room and
was on the B side of the room. Resident #4 was (COVID negative) in the same room on the A side of the
room. Neither resident was wearing a face mask.
During an observation on 10/10/24 at 11:20 AM, Resident #4 (COVID negative) was sitting at the lunch
table with Resident #5 (COVID positive) to eat lunch. The residents shared the table together for
approximately 10 minutes before staff moved Resident #4 to be at a table with another table. Both residents
were within arm's reach of each other.
During an interview on 10/11/24 at 2:15 PM, the DON stated the facility had the means to keep the Covid
positive residents separated from exposed residents. She stated the facility chose not to separate the
residents on the locked memory care unit. She stated the exposed residents on the locked memory care
unity would eventually become COVID positive regardless.
During an interview on 10/10/24 at 1:55 PM, CNA A stated the unit was much a hot unit (unit housing
COVID positive residents). She stated all the residents hang out the same and we treat them all the same.
She stated that all the residents were exposed.
During a follow-up interview on 10/10/2024 at 2:15 PM, the DON stated there were 16 total residents on the
hot COVID unit. She stated there were 12 COVID positive residents (#1, #3, #5, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12,
#13, #14, #15) and 4 COVID negative residents (#4, #6, #16, and #17). She stated the COVID-19 infection
prevention policy was the policy they used for much everything COVID related. She stated there was no
quarantine or isolation separate policy this was the policy they used regarding both isolation and
quarantine. She stated they were following all CDC guidelines they could, but regarding the male locked
unit it was more difficult to keep the residents quarantined.
During an interview on 10/10/24 at 2:55 PM, CNA B stated she wore all her PPE the entire time she was on
the unit, which included mask, face shield/goggles, gown, and gloves. She stated all the residents were
exposed, so they were all getting treated the same. She stated she had not removed her PPE since getting
to work. She stated Resident #2 normally used his walker. She stated she noticed after being diagnosed
with COVID, Resident #2 seemed a little unstable on his walker and to prevent Resident #2 from falling she
would put him in a wheelchair.
During an interview on 10/10/24 at 8:20 PM, CNA B stated everyone on the unit was much COVID

positive. He stated he was not sure why the facility did not move the positive residents over to the other
locked unit when Resident #1 first tested positive. He stated the facility had a locked unit and the staffing, to
him, was enough to cover a second locked unit. He stated each night he got to the facility, it's a hot zone.
He stated he went to work and treated every resident the same. He stated some of the residents did have
symptoms and he only knew of one that went to the hospital.
During an interview on 10/10/24 at 8:30 PM, CNA D stated she had been working the unit the past few
nights, maybe a week. She stated the unit was treated like a hot zone. She stated she never saw PPE
boxes outside of each room, PPE was only located at the entrance of the unit not really for each individual
resident. She stated she kept the same PPE on while on the unit the entire time and treated every resident
the same because they were either hot or exposed. She stated she was not sure why the facility did not
move the covid positive residents. She stated there was a locked unit with no one on it and the facility was
using agency staff to help cover shifts, so the facility could have covered the shifts if they needed to.
During an interview on 10/10/24 at 9:00 PM, RN E stated she was not sure why the facility did not move the
first positive resident. She stated she was told by the DON it was how the corporate company worked and it
was in the facility policy to work the unit that way. She stated she was not sure why Resident #4 and
Resident #5, one negative and one positive were roomed together. She stated she guessed the facility
could have moved Resident #5 to another room, but she was not sure how that would have affected him.
She stated all the residents got COVID. She stated she believed the facility had another locked unit and had
the staff to move the residents.
During an interview on 9/28/24 at 10:15 AM, LVN B stated it was her first day back in a week. She stated
she needed to get an updated COVID list for Side A of the building. She stated she knew a few of the
residents were good to be removed from isolation and were allowed to be out of their rooms. She stated all
the COVID room doors should be closed. She stated she was not sure why all the doors were not closed.
She stated she was not sure how COVID got in the building, but it spread very quickly. She stated the PPE
required to go into any hot or warm room was, gloves, gown, N95 and face shield/goggles.
During a follow-up interview on 9/27/24 at 1:57 PM, the DON stated the facility required PPE for hot zone or
warm zone was mask, gown, and gloves. She stated that was what every employee should put on if they
entered a resident's room who was COVID positive or suspected of COVID. She stated, oh yeah, face
shield and or goggles should be worn, I forgot about that. She stated she did not know her staff were not
wearing goggles. She stated CNA F should have been wearing goggles or a face shield while in Resident
#19's room. She stated she did not know Resident #18 was leaving his room to go use the restroom in his
old room. She stated she was going to fix his toilet seat immediately, so he did not leave his room anymore
because he was exposing other residents.

3. Measures Put into Place/System Changes to remove the immediacy, and what date these actions
occurred:
Residents Affected - Some
Action: Administrator and Director of Nursing educated by Clinical Resource Nurse over COVID policy as it
related to isolation protocol (COVID positive residents will not cohort with negative residents.) The facility
policy was developed based on the CDC's recommendation & guidance. PPE must be donned correctly
before entering the patient area (e.g., isolation rooms or isolation unit if cohorting). PPE should be doffed
when leaving an individual patient room or isolation unit if cohorting. PPE must remain in place and be worn
correctly for the duration of work in contaminated areas and should not be adjusted during patient care. If
cohorting, positive residents' gown and gloves should be changed following patient care. PPE includes
NIOSH approved respirator, well-fitting face masks, gowns, gloves, eye protection (goggles or face shields).
N95 masks may be worn for the duration of the shift when used solely for source control but should be
changed when soiled or compromised. Other PPE should be changed when it becomes soiled.
