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 respect the residents right to personal privacy
for 2 of 2 residents (Resident #2 and Resident #3) reviewed for privacy/dignity. The facility failed to ensure
residents' privacy/dignity was maintained during wound care on (2) occasions. This failure could place
residents at risk for poor self-esteem, decreased self-worth, and quality of life. Findings included: Record
review of Resident #2's admission Record, dated 10/23/25, revealed the resident was admitted to the
facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: right femur fracture, Alzheimer's Disease (disease
affecting memory and other important mental functions), Dementia (group of thinking and social symptoms
that interferes with daily functioning). Record review of Resident #2's comprehensive MDS assessment,
dated 9/5/25, revealed the resident's cognitive skills for daily decision making were severely impaired. An
interview was attempted on 10/22/25 at 2:06 pm, Resident #2 did not respond to the state investigator's
questions. During observation of wound care to Resident #2's right second toe, on 10/22/25 beginning at
4:44 pm, RN A entered the room and explained the procedure. Further observation revealed RN A
completed wound care to Resident #2's right second toe without closing the door, privacy curtain, or blinds.
Observation revealed Resident #2's roommate was in the room. During an interview on 10/23/25 at 9:35
am (translated from Spanish), Resident #2 said she did not have any wounds. Record review of Resident
#3's admission Record, dated 10/23/25, revealed the resident was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with
diagnoses which included: Cerebral Infarction/CVA (stroke - disrupted blood flow to the brain), Major
Depressive Disorder (mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of
interest in activities), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (severe and ongoing that is ongoing and interferes with
daily activities), and Aphasia (disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate). Record review of
Resident #3's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 9/16/25, revealed the resident's cognitive skills for daily
decision making were severely impaired. During an interview on 10/22/25 at 2:00 pm, Resident #3 shook
her head when asked if she had any wounds and was receiving wound care. During observation of wound
care to Resident #3's left heel, on 10/22/25 beginning at 4:21 pm, RN A entered the room and explained
the procedure. Further observation revealed RN A completed wound care to Resident #3's left heel without
closing the door or privacy curtain. An interview was attempted on 10/22/25 at 4:39 pm, Resident #3 did not
respond to the state investigator's questions. During an interview on 10/23/25 at 2:07 pm, RN A said the
expectation was to always provide privacy to residents. RN A further stated the blinds, privacy curtain, and
door should be closed when providing care for privacy. RN A said it was important to provide the residents
with privacy to prevent others from seeing the residents receiving care to respect the residents' dignity.
During an interview on 10/23/25 at 2:31 pm, the DON said staff were expected to knock on the residents'
door, announce themselves, explain the procedure, close the door, privacy curtain, and blinds before
providing care. The DON further stated this was to respect the residents' dignity and

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 2 of 2 residents (Resident #2
and Resident #3) reviewed for infection control. The facility failed to ensure RN A followed infection control
policy/procedures during wound care for Resident #2 and Resident #3. This deficient practice could place
residents at risk for infection. Findings included: Record review of Resident #2's admission Record, dated
10/23/25, revealed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which included: right
femur fracture, Alzheimer's Disease (disease affecting memory and other important mental functions) ,
Dementia (group of thinking and social symptoms that interferes with daily functioning). An interview was
attempted on 10/22/25 at 2:06 pm, Resident #2 did not respond to the state investigator's questions. During
observation of wound care to Resident #2's right second toe, on 10/22/25 beginning at 4:44 pm, RN A
entered the room and explained the procedure. RN A then placed the wound care supplies on Resident
#2's bedside table without sanitizing it. RN A began to don a gown when Resident #2's roommate removed
her covers and night gown, exposing her breasts. RN A approached Resident #2's roommate and replaced
her covers, during which RN A's gown touched the resident and her bed. After assisting Resident #2's
roommate, RN A continued to tie the ties on the gown and donned gloves without performing hand hygiene.
RN A then pulled Resident #2's chair close to the resident, who was sitting in her wheelchair, sat down,
placed a trash bag on the floor next to her (used to dispose of used wound care supplies) and removed
Resident #2's sock. RN A then touched Resident #2's wound to the right second toe with her gloved hand
without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene. After cleaning the wound, RN A removed her gloves,
donned clean gloves without performing hand hygiene and applied the treatment to Resident #2's right
second toe. RN A removed her gloves and washed her hands for 13 seconds. RN A exited Resident #2's
room, removed her gown and placed the trash bag that was on the floor on top of the treatment cart. RN A
then walked with the state investigator to the conference room without sanitizing the top of the treatment
cart. During an interview on 10/23/25 at 9:35 am (translated from Spanish), Resident #2 said she did not
have any wounds. During an interview on 10/23/25 at 2:07 pm, RN A said she should have removed her
PPE after assisting Resident #2's roommate. RN A further stated she should have then washed her hands
and donned new PPE before providing wound care to Resident #2's right second toe to avoid the spread of
infection and cross contamination between residents. RN A said she should have made sure her hands
were clean prior to touching Resident #2's wound. RN A further stated she must wash her hands the right
way every time otherwise it put everyone at risk for infection. RN A said the trash bag should not have been
placed on top of the treatment cart because the trash bag had germs and she was transferring germs from
one surface to another, placing residents at risk for infection. RN A further stated all staff were responsible
for following infection control policies and procedures. Record review of Resident #3's admission Record,
dated 10/23/25, revealed the resident was re-admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses which
included: Cerebral Infarction/CVA (stroke - disrupted blood flow to the brain), Major Depressive Disorder
(mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities),
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (severe and ongoing that is ongoing and interferes with daily activities), and
Aphasia (disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate. During an interview on 10/22/25 at 2:00

4:21 pm, RN A entered the room and explained the procedure. RN A washed her hands for 4 seconds,
removed Resident #3's boot from her left foot and donned a gown without performing hand hygiene. RN A
then placed the wound care supplies on top of the bedside table without sanitizing it and moved the table
close to the foot of the bed with her bare hands. RN A donned gloves without performing hand hygiene. RN
A set Resident #3's left foot on top of a plastic trash bag, removed the dressing, placed it in the trash bag
under the resident's foot and set Resident #3's left foot on the trash bag containing the dirty dressing. After
RN A cleaned Resident #3's wound and set the resident's foot on top of the trash bag containing the dirty
dressing and liquid used to clean the wound. RN A removed her gloves, leaned out the door to get a clean
pair of gloves from the treatment cart without performing hand hygiene and donned the gloves. RN A then
applied the ointment to Resident #3's wound and set the resident's foot on trash bag containing the dirty
dressing and liquid used to clean the wound, and then RN A applied the calcium alginate dressing to
Resident #3's wound and set the resident's foot on the trash bag containing the dirty dressing and liquid
used to clean the wound. RN A opened the adhesive dressing and applied it to Resident #3's left heel. After
removing her gloves and washing her hands, RN A exited the resident's room, removed her gown, and
placed it on top of the treatment cart before disposing it. An interview was attempted on 10/22/25 at 4:39
pm, Resident #3 did not respond to the state investigator's questions. During an interview on 10/22/25 at
5:05 pm, RN A said she was expected to wash her hands for Happy Birthday twice, about 30 seconds to
avoid the spread of infection. RN A further stated she should have donned the gown before removing
Resident #3's boot to avoid spreading any bacteria that may have been on the boot onto her clothing. RN A
said she should have sanitized her hands after removing the boot to avoid cross contamination. RN A said
she had not sanitized the bedside tables before placing the wound care supplies on them before providing
wound care to Resident #2 and Resident #3. RN A further stated she had not thought about it because she
made sure the supplies were on top of the trash bag, so the supplies were on a clean surface. RN A further
stated she was expected to sanitize the bedside tables before and after use because any germs that might
on the bedside table can cross contaminate the items placed on top of the table. During an interview on
10/23/25 at 2:07 pm, RN A said when she provided wound care for Resident #3, on 10/22/25, she should
not have set the resident's foot back on top of the bag after she removed the dressing, cleaned the wound,
and after she applied the calcium alginate (material used as a wound dressing), adding she should have
set her foot on a clean surface. RN A further stated she set a clean wound on a dirty surface which could
put the resident at risk for infection. RN A said she was expected to perform hand hygiene before donning
gloves and after doffing gloves to reduce the risk of spreading infection. RN A said PPE should be removed
before exiting the residents' rooms to avoid taking germs outside the room. RN A said gowns should be
placed in a bag and disposed after removal to avoid spreading anything that was on the gown onto other
surfaces and avoid the spread of infection. During an interview on 10/23/25 at 2:31 pm, the DON said
Resident #3's wound should not have been touched after the chair was moved without changing gloves and
performing hand hygiene and Resident #3's foot should not have been set on a trash bag with dirty
dressings. The DON further stated bedside tables should be sanitized before and after use, and trash bags
should not be placed on top of the carts at any time after being on the floor or other surfaces. The DON
said these items (chair, trash bag, and bedside table) were contaminated and in turn would contaminate the
treatment cart, wound, and gloves. The DON further stated they did not know what might have been on the
resident's bedside table. The DON said this cross contamination puts the residents at risk for infection. The
DON said when providing wound care, staff were expected to perform hand hygiene, gather supplies, enter

perform hand hygiene, apply gloves, remove dressing, remove gloves, sanitize hands, apply new gloves,
clean the wound, apply treatment, remove gloves, and wash hands. The DON said staff were expected to
perform hand hygiene any time they had contact with a resident, before donning gloves, after removing
gloves, and before leaving the residents' rooms. The DON said hands should be washed for at least 30
seconds, or Happy Birthday twice. The DON further stated it was important for staff to wash their hands for
the recommended amount of time to kill any bacteria/microbes that might be on the hands and avoid cross
contamination. The DON said she expected staff to remove PPE and don clean PPE between residents
due to possible cross contamination, putting the residents at risk for infection. The DON said PPE should be
removed before exiting the resident rooms to avoid bringing possible infections out of the room and putting
residents at risk for infection. The DON further stated that used gowns should not be placed on any
surfaces once removed because they were contaminated. The DON said it was everyone's responsibility to
ensure infection control practices were followed to prevent infection. The DON further stated as the IP, she
was responsible for ensuring staff followed infection control policies/procedures. The DON further stated
she was responsible for ensuring nurses provided care according to professional standards. Record review
