Residents Affected - Few
Resident #17's oxygen concentrator filter was covered in a thick white substance. This failure could affect residents who received respiratory therapy and put them at risk for inadequate or inappropriate amounts of oxygen delivery. The findings included: Record review of Resident #17's face sheet, dated 2/8/24 revealed a [AGE] year old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included hypertension (high blood pressure), presence of cardiac pacemaker, heart failure, history of pulmonary embolism (condition in which one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot) and pleural effusion (a buildup of fluid between the tissues that line the lungs and the chest). Record review of Resident #17's most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was moderately cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills. Record review of Resident #17's comprehensive care plan, with revision date 9/28/23 revealed the resident used oxygen therapy related to shortness of breath and congestive heart failure with a goal for the resident not to have signs or symptoms of poor oxygen absorption with interventions that included to administer oxygen and breathing treatments as ordered. Record review of Resident #17's Order Summary Report, dated 2/8/24 revealed the following orders: -Oxygen at 2 liters per minute by nasal canula for shortness of breath related to acute chronic diastolic (congestive) heart failure and acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (lack of oxygen in the tissues to sustain bodily functions) with order date 8/15/23 and no end date. Observation and interview on 2/6/24 at 10:53 a.m., during initial rounds revealed Resident #17 sitting up in a recliner and the resident was wearing the nasal canula. Resident #17 had the oxygen concentrator behind the recliner but was not turned on. Resident #17 stated they put that on me today, referring to the oxygen concentrator. Further observation revealed the oxygen concentrator had a filter at the back of the unit and it was covered in a thick white substance. Observation on 2/7/24 at 5:26 p.m. revealed Resident #17 sitting up in the recliner wearing the nasal canula and the oxygen concentrator was operating. Resident #17's oxygen concentrator was observed with the filter on the back of the unit covered in a thick white substance. During an observation and interview on 2/7/24 at 5:53 p.m., LVN B revealed Resident #17 used the oxygen concentrator with the nasal canula as needed.

LVN B revealed he would check the oxygen concentrator periodically during the shift to ensure it was operating properly and at the right oxygen setting. LVN B pulled the oxygen concentrator filter from behind Resident #17's oxygen concentrator and stated, it's nasty. LVN B revealed the oxygen concentrator filter appeared to be covered in lint and dust. LVN B stated the oxygen concentrator filter was not supposed to be covered in lint and dust because it could keep the machine from working properly and could alter the amount of oxygen Resident #17 was supposed to receive. LVN B stated, I would not want to breath it. During an interview on 2/8/24 at 11:56 a.m., the DON stated it was the nursing staff's responsibility for maintaining the oxygen concentrators including changing out the oxygen tubing/canula and making sure the oxygen concentrator filters were clean. The DON stated LVN B had shown her Resident #17's oxygen concentrator filter and stated, it looked like it (the filter) had never been cleaned. The DON stated the oxygen concentrator filter appeared to be covered in dust and lint. The DON revealed, the dirty oxygen concentrator filter could affect proper oxygen therapy and could result in the resident developing a respiratory infection or result in lower oxygen levels. Record review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Oxygen Administration, revision date October 2010 revealed in part, .The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration .Check the mask, tank, humidifying jar, etc., to be sure they are in good working order and are securely fastened .Observe the resident set up and periodically thereafter .

During an interview on 2/7/24 at 11:27 a.m., LVN D revealed, prior to injecting a resident with insulin from an insulin pen, the rubber stopper had to be disinfected with an alcohol wipe and then the dial should be set to the dosage prescribed by the doctor and administered to the resident. LVN D revealed he was not aware about priming the insulin pen to Resident #3 and Resident #31. LVN D stated he was not aware what it meant to prime the insulin pen. LVN D revealed, after it was explained what the concept was behind priming the insulin pen and stated, he understood it was to ensure the resident receiving the insulin was getting the intended amount of insulin as prescribed by the physician. LVN D stated, if a resident did not get enough insulin it would result in the resident's sugar continuing to increase and if the resident received too much insulin it could results in the resident's sugar dropping too much. During an interview on 2/8/24 at 11:37 a.m., the DON stated, insulin pens must be primed prior to injection to ensure there was no air in the pen and the resident received the correct dose. The DON further stated, if the insulin pen was not primed, the resident could get the wrong dose and if too much insulin was received it could result in the blood sugar dropping too low and if not enough insulin was given, the resident's sugar could continue to elevate. Record review of the facility policy and procedure titled, How to Use an Insulin Pen in 15 Easy Steps, dated 11/1/23 revealed in part, .Prepare your insulin pen .dial up 1 to 2 units .Press the injection button to let out any air bubbles (called priming) .if you see a small drop of insulin come out the tip of the pen, it's ready to use .

Observation on 2/8/24 at 9:34 p.m. revealed the Treatment Cart was left unattended and unlocked on the 100 Hall next to room [ROOM NUMBER] and facing the hallway. During an interview on 2/8/24 at 9:37 a.m., LVN C confirmed the Treatment Cart on the 100 Hall next to room [ROOM NUMBER] and facing the hallway had been left unattended and unlocked. LVN C stated the Treatment Cart should have been locked when unattended because a resident could get into the cart and take a topical medication and it could make them sick. LVN C revealed the Treatment Cart belonged to the Treatment Nurse and asked this surveyor if the Treatment Nurse was on the 100 Hall. The Treatment Nurse was not seen on the 100 Hall at the time of the observation. During an interview on 2/8/24 at 11:52 a.m., the DON revealed it was her expectation that all medication carts, including the Treatment Cart were to be locked when left unattended. The DON stated, the medication carts, including the Treatment Cart, if left unlocked could result in a resident using a medication incorrectly or ingesting a medication that was supposed to be used topically. The DON revealed, all medication carts including the Treatment Cart were supposed to be locked at all times. 2. Observation on 02/07/24 09:41 a.m., Resident #27 with a container of eye drops and an albuterol inhaler in front of the resident on the bedside table. During an interview on 02/07/24 at 9:44 a.m. Resident #27 stated the eye drops were left by staff in the room when they used them yesterday, the resident went on to explain the feeling of not being sure the albuterol inhaler should be in the room and did not elaborate further about where it came from. During an interview on 02/07/2024 at 10:08 a.m. with LVN ZZ , while reviewing Resident #27's electronic health record, stated, I did not know Resident #27 had those medications by the bedside, they should not be there, the resident has not been assessed to self administer those medications; the resident and the staff both know that, I will call the doctor know and take care of the issue.

During an interview on 02/08/24 at 3:32 p.m. the DON stated, I was told about Resident #27 having the eye drops and the inhaler at bedside, those medications should not have been there because we are supposed to know about all medications in the facility; when and how they are administered to ensure the residents needs are met as they should be. DON went on to say, I think the Resident brought the medications from home as she does go on pass in the community.
Residents Affected - Few Record review of the facility policy and procedure titled, Security of Medication Cart, revision date April 2007 revealed in part, .The medication cart shall be secured during medication passes .The nurse must secure the medication cart during the medication pass to prevent unauthorized entry .The cart doors and drawers should be facing the resident's room .Medication carts must be securely locked at all times when out of the nurse's view .When the medication cart is not being used, it must be locked and parked at the nurse's station or inside the medication room .

Provide sufficient support personnel to safely and effectively carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to employ staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service for 4 of 5 of the food and nutrition service staff reviewed for competency training in that: The facility did not ensure the DM, [NAME] W, [NAME] X, DA Y or DA Z had current food handlers training. The DM's food handler's certificate had an expiration date of 10/12/2023 with a start date of 05/21/2007. Cook W's food handler's certificate had an expiration date of 10/13/2023 with at start date of 06/17/2013. Cook X's food handler's certificate had an expiration date of 10/14/2023 with a start date of 08/17/2007. DA Z's food handler's certificate had an expiration date of 10/15/2023 with a date of 10/27/2008. The deficient practice could place residents who consumed food prepared from the kitchen at-risk of foodborne illness or nutritional deficiencies. The finding included: Interview on 02/08/2024 at 12:05 p.m. with the DM, the DM stated all of the kitchen's staff training was expired, their training should have already been completed but it was not and mine is expired too. No other state inspector looks at the stuff you look at, I have been here for years and no one has ever asked me for these certificates. DM also stated there are other staff in the kitchen that only wash dishes and are not required to have the food handlers course, I only gave you the ones that should have the training. Interview on 02/08/24 at 4:27 p.m. the ADMN stated, I am aware of all but one of the kitchen staff's food handler's certificate was expired. The ADMN went on to say the expectation was for all kitchen staff to have the required trainings and it should have been up to date, each individual should keep up with when their training was due and make sure it was done. Then the ADMN explained there should be a system, the individual should first make sure their training was current, the DM should be checking, HR should be reviewing that and the facility pays a dietician and consultant that was supposed to be monitoring that as well. Interview with HR on 02/08/2024 at 6:02 p.m. said, I was not taking care of making sure that the Dietary Department was up to date with their training, the DM usually does those, but I will probably be keeping up with that from now on after all of this happened. We do not have a policy and procedure for how to monitor dietary staff training. Record review of USDA Food Code 2022, Chapter 8 Compliance and enforcement reflected the following: By the time of the preoperational inspection, operating procedures for training should include definitive practices and expectations of how the management of the proposed food establishment plans to

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety for 1 of 1 kitchen areas in that:
Residents Affected - Some There were items in the kitchen that were not dated, not labeled with a date, not labeled with a name, ingredients or contents of packaging, and damaged kitchen spatulas. In addition there were only unpasteurized eggs in the kitchen that had been reportedly served with runny middles to residents. A cook failed to ensure eggs served soft fried with runny middle were pasteurized for 2 residents. These failures could place residents at risk for foodborne illness. The findings included: Observation in the kitchen on 02/06/2024 at 9:26 a.m. revealed: One large bag of cheese cubes opened exposing the contents of the bag to other odors in the refrigerator. One large approximately 5-gallon container of a white substance identified by [NAME] X as thickener with no label or date and opened, in the kitchen under a preparation table. One large bag of a substance later identified as processed chicken in the freezer with no label or date of any type anywhere on the clear manufacture's bag. During an interview with [NAME] X on 02/06/2024 at approximately 10:00 a.m, [NAME] X said she should not have served unpasteurized eggs with runny middles to any of the residents and she knew this, but she did not want the residents to get upset and wanted them to have the eggs the way they wanted them. [NAME] X said she did know if eggs were going to be served with runny middles she was supposed to use pasteurized eggs, but the facility didn't have any and it would probably be several days before they got anymore. [NAME] X said all the items observed should have been labeled and dated, she did not know why they were not and explained the training says they are supposed to be labeled. [NAME] X said the rubber spatulas should not be used because they could get bad stuff in the cracks and make someone sick, and then took them down from the hanging area. During a follow up interview with the DM on 02/06/2024 at 11:15 a.m., the DM said all items in the kitchen should be labeled and dated in some way and damaged tools (the rubber spatulas) shouldn't be used if they have cracks in them because stuff can get stuck in the cracks or bacteria can grow in them and that would not be good. When asked about the use of unpasteurized versus pasteurized eggs when serving eggs not cooked until solid, the DM stated Cook X knows better and she said she told you that, I have no idea why she did that we can go to the store and get some if we need them, there is just no excuse for that at all. Policy provided prior to facility exit titled, Food Storage chapter 3 not dated revealed the following:

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 8 residents (Resident #3, #30 and #57) reviewed for infection control practices, in that:
Residents Affected - Some
1. LVN D did not utilize appropriate hand hygiene during the medication pass to Resident #3 2. Med Aide T did not sanitize the blood pressure cuff used between Resident #30 and Resident #57 These failures could place residents at risk of infection, transmission of communicable diseases and a decline in health. The findings included: 1. Record review of Resident #3's face sheet, dated 2/8/24 revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included type 2 diabetes (a chronic, long-lasting health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy), chronic kidney disease state 3 (kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood the way they should), peripheral vascular disease (a slow and progressive circulation disorder. Narrowing, blockage, or spasms in a blood vessel), and Alzheimer's disease (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions). Record review of Resident #3's most recent annual MDS assessment, dated 12/15/23 revealed the resident was severely cognitively impaired for daily decision-making skills. Record review of Resident #3's comprehensive care plan, revision date 1/8/24 revealed the resident had diabetes with interventions that included to monitor for hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar levels) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). Observation on 2/7/24 at 11:05 a.m., during the medication pass, revealed LVN D grabbed Resident #3's wheelchair and assisted the resident from the dining room to the resident's bedroom. LVN D then returned to the medication cart and obtained the glucometer (a test device used to obtain a rapid assessment of blood glucose concentration results) to prepare to take a blood sample. LVN D took a sanitizing wipe and cleaned the glucometer. LVN D then put on a pair of gloves, did not utilize appropriate hand hygiene and obtained a small blood sample from Resident #3's second finger with a small lancet. LVN D was not successful in obtaining a blood sample from Resident #3 and returned to the medication cart for another test strip. LVN D continued to wear the same gloves, returned to the bedside and obtained a second blood sample from Resident #3. During an interview on 2/7/24 at 11:27 a.m., LVN D revealed he was nervous and realized he did not utilize appropriate hand hygiene prior to obtaining the small blood sample from Resident #3. LVN D stated he should have been washing or sanitizing his hands before putting on gloves because it was considered cross contamination and the resident could get sick. During an interview on 2/8/24 at 11:37 a.m., the DON stated, after Resident #3 was assisted to her room, LVN D should have been sanitizing his hands prior to getting the supplies and should have been

sanitizing his hands prior to putting on gloves. The DON stated the reason for washing or sanitizing the hands before putting on gloves was to stop the spread of infection and was considered an infection control issue. The DON stated, not utilizing proper hand hygiene could result in the resident getting an infection. 2.a. Record review of Resident #30's face sheet, dated 2/8/24 revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] and re-admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses that included respiratory failure, heart failure, shortness of breath and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol). Record review of Resident #30's most recent quarterly MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed the resident was cognitively intact for daily decision-making skills. Record review of Resident #30's comprehensive care plan, revision date 9/16/23 revealed the resident had coronary artery disease with interventions that included to monitor blood pressure and notify the physician of any abnormal readings. b. Record review of Resident #57's face sheet, dated 2/8/24 revealed an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses that included atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm that can lead to blood clots in the heart), hypertension (high blood pressure) and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol). Record review of Resident #57's most recent quarterly MDS assessment, dated 1/12/24 revealed the resident was moderately cognitively intact for daily decision-making skills. Record review of Resident #57's comprehensive care plan, revision date 4/25/23 revealed the resident had coronary artery disease with interventions that included to give medications for hypertension and document response to medication and any side effects. Observation on 2/8/24 at 8:49 a.m., during the medication pass revealed Med Aide T took the wrist blood pressure cuff from the medication cart and obtained Resident #30's blood pressure but did not sanitize the blood pressure cuff prior to use. Med Aide T, after obtaining Resident #30's blood pressure, returned to the medication cart and placed the wrist blood pressure cuff on the medication counter without sanitizing it. Med Aide T then used the same wrist blood pressure cuff used on Resident #30 and obtained Resident #57's blood pressure. During an interview on 2/8/24 at 9:15 a.m., Med Aide T revealed the wrist blood pressure cuff used on Resident #30 and Resident #57 was not provided by the facility and was her own personal equipment. Med Aide T confirmed she had not sanitized the wrist blood pressure cuff prior to using it on Resident #30 or before using it on Resident #57. Med Aide T stated the wrist blood pressure cuff should have been sanitized/disinfected prior to use on a resident because it would mean potentially spreading germs from one resident to the other and was cross contamination. Med Aide T further stated an example of cross contamination would be using the wrist blood pressure cuff on a resident with COVID-19 and if not sanitized could spread COVID-19 (a severe acute respiratory syndrome also known as SARS-COV-2) to another resident. During an interview on 2/8/24 at 11:37 a.m., the DON revealed it was her expectation when a blood pressure cuff was used on a resident it should be sanitized prior to use to prevent the spread of infection. The DON further revealed, cross contamination could result in a resident getting sick or getting an infection.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation and interview the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary and comfortable environment for residents, staff and the public for 2 of 4 Halls (Hall #2 and Hall #3) reviewed for environment in that: 1. The bedroom door to Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #2 had splintered edges and had several pieces of wood missing and the bedroom door to Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #2 had splintered edges and was partially covered in black duct tape. 2. The bedroom door to Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #3 had splintered edges and had several pieces of wood missing. The bedroom door to Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #3 had splintered edges and had several pieces of wood missing. The bedroom door to Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #3 had splintered edges and was partially covered in black duct tape. The bedroom door to Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #3 had splintered edges and was partially covered in black duct tape. This deficient practice could place residents at risk of a diminished quality of life due to an unsafe environment. The findings included: During a joint observation and interview on 2/9/24 at 4:07 p.m. with the MD (Maintenance Director) and the Administrator revealed Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #2 could have resulted in the bedroom door having splintered edges and several pieces of wood missing from the resident's bed having been moved a couple of weeks ago. The MD stated the facility was built in 1963 and the bedroom door seen in Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] was the same door. The MD and the Administrator acknowledged the splinters could cause injury to a resident if their body came in contact with the splinters. The MD stated the purpose of the duct tape seen on Resident room [ROOM NUMBER]'s door on Hall #2, Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] and Resident room [ROOM NUMBER] on Hall #3 was to keep splinters from sticking out and if the splinters were sticking out they could poke a resident. The door on room [ROOM NUMBER] had been repaired with a metal strip along the side of the door where it had been frayed. The MD further stated, the doors needed to be fixed and had been addressed but then we got COVID, and it went on the wayside. The Administrator stated, I feel we need to do something, it's not a decent environment. The Administrator further stated the facility used an electronic notification maintenance system, but staff were not reporting the situation anymore because the doors had been that way for a while. The Administrator acknowledged the doors were not conducive to a homelike environment.
