F 0880 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) (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. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility.
