should be posted at the facility for residents and family. He stated he never heard of this regulation and
asked the investigator, since when this rule came into effect. When the investigator showed and explained
the relevant portion of the regulation to ADMIN, he stated, he would make it available at the earliest.
Observation on 09/26/23 at 3:00PM revealed the availability of the previous state survey results in a folder
placed on a table towards the wall opposite to the reception counter however it was difficult to locate as
there was no notice posted, indicating the availability of the state survey result.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to post nurse staffing information to
include the facility name, current date, total number, and actual hours worked by registered nurses,
licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses, certified nurse aides per shift and the resident census on a
daily basis for one of two days (09/26/23) reviewed for nurse staffing information.
Residents Affected - Few
The facility did not post the required current nurse staffing information on 09/26/2023.
This failure could place residents at risk of not having access to information regarding staffing data and the
facility census.
Findings include:
Observation on 09/26/23 at 9:00AM., revealed the nurse staffing information form on the wall next to the
facility's nursing station was not filled out.
During an interview on 09/26/23 at 9:30 AM, the DON stated she would fill out the form immediately.
Observation on 09/26/23 at 10:00AM revealed the nurse staffing information was posted however it did not
have the component of the total number and actual hours worked by Registered Nurses.
During an interview on 09/27/23 at 11:00AM, the corporate nurse stated the everyday nurse staffing
information form used by the facility was incomplete and she would direct the facility to use the correct form
that reflects the total number and actual hours worked by Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Vocational
Nurses (LVNs) and Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs)
Observation on 09/28/23 at 2:00PM revealed the nurse staffing information was posted however the
Registered Nurse component was absent.
During an interview on 09/28/23 at 3:00PM the DON stated she was responsible for making sure the
posting of the nurse staffing and census data daily. She stated posting needed to be done by 6:00AM
immediately after the shift change over meeting finished. When investigator asked about the relevance of
the staffing posting, the DON said posting the daily census and nurse staffing information was important for
the residents and facility visitors, to determine if the facility had adequate staffing.
On 09/26/23 there was no policy available at the facility reflecting the requirement of posting daily, the nurse
staffing information at a prominent place readily accessible and available to residents, employees, and
visitors.

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 disease and infection for 1 of 6 residents (Resident #44)
reviewed for infection control, in that:
Residents Affected - Few
CNA A failed to wash or sanitize her hands or change gloves before touching the package of wipes and
after cleaning Resident #44's buttock area.
This deficient practice could place residents at-risk for infection due to improper care practices.
Findings include:
Record review Resident #44's face sheet, dated 09/28/2023, revealed an admission date 03/06/2020 and, a
readmission date of 08/23/2022 with diagnoses including: Fracture right pubis, Dementia (decline in
cognitive abilities), Hypertension (High blood pressure), Osteoarthritis, Muscle weakness, and a need for
assistance with personal care.
Record review of Resident #44's Quarterly MDS, dated [DATE], revealed the resident had a BIMS score of
2 indicating severe cognitive impairment. Resident #44 required extensive assistance, was always
incontinent of bladder and bowel.
Observation conducted on 9/27/2023 at 9:47 AM, revealed CNA A and CNA B conducted peri-care for
Resident #44. CNA A cleansed Resident #44's bottom with multiple wipes and was pulling them directly out
of the package. CNA A then removed more wipes from the package to cleanse Resident #44's peri area
without changing gloves or conducting hand hygiene.
In an interview on 09/28/23 at 09:10 AM, CNA A revealed she did not set up her station all the way during
peri-care for Resident #44 by not removing the wipes from their package prior to providing peri-care. CNA A
also stated the package of wipes became contaminated when she pulled more wipes while still wearing
contaminated gloves. CNA A revealed she had received training on peri-care during CNA training at a
nursing school, and in-servicing conducted in the facility. CNA A also revealed she felt remorseful about
making the mistake and had become anxious with so many eyes watching the care.
In an interview on 9/28/2023 at 2:30 PM, the DON stated a breach in infection control while providing
resident care could cause an infection to develop. The DON's expectation for staff following Infection
Control protocols during resident care included monthly training, and an expectation to conduct peri-care
correctly. The DON further stated she would re-educate her staff on peri-care and hand hygiene during
resident care.
In an interview on 9/28/2023 at 2:45 PM, the ADMIN stated a breach in infection control could cause
excoriation in the peri area, which could then lead to skin breakdown. The ADMIN's expectation was for
staff to follow infection control protocol and proper handwashing techniques while providing resident care.
