**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and
homelike environment for two of eighteen residents (Resident #27 and Resident #41) reviewed for safe,
clean, homelike environment.
-The facility failed to clean enteral feeding pumps and poles, which were dirty on 4/30/2024, 5/1/2024, and
5/2/2024 for Resident #27 and #41.
-The facility failed to ensure the rooms were homelike and did not have peeling paint and well-maintained
bedside tables on 4/30/2024, 5/1/2024, and 5/2/2024 for Resident #27 and Resident #41.
This failure could affect the residents and place them at risk of an unsafe and an environment that was not
homelike.
Findings include:
Resident #27
Record review of Resident #27's face sheet dated 5/2/2024 revealed a [AGE] year-old woman admitted on
[DATE]. The face sheet documented her diagnoses included dementia (group of symptoms that affects
memory, thinking and interferes with daily life), contractures (permanent shortening of muscles, tendons,
skin, and nearby soft tissue that causes joints to shorten and stiffen, preventing normal movement),
seizures (sudden, uncontrolled burst of electrical activity in the brain), anxiety disorder (condition with
exaggerated tension, worrying, and nervousness about daily life events), gastronomy (surgical procedure
for inserting a tube through the abdomen wall into the stomach), GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux
Disease, chronic digestive disease where the liquid content of the stomach refluxes into the esophagus, the
tube connecting the mouth and stomach), and adult failure to thrive (significant decline in physical and/or
emotional well-being).
Record review of Resident #27's quarterly MDS dated [DATE] with an ARD of 4/15/2024 revealed no BIMS
could be conducted because she was rarely or never understood. The MDS documented she had short and
long-term memory problems, and she was severely impaired in her ability to make decisions regarding
tasks of daily living. Per the MDS, Resident #27 was unable to recall the current season, the location of her
room, staff names and/or faces, or that she was in a nursing home. The MDS revealed she had
impairments of both upper and lower extremities, and she utilized a wheelchair for mobility. The MDS
documented she required extensive assistance, or was totally dependent on staff, for all ADL's except
eating. Per the MDS, Resident #27, did not eat. The MDS revealed she was fed via feeding

Interview on 5/2/2024 at 1:32 PM with the DON, she said the facility should clean the poles for the
resident's feeding tubes as needed, and at least once monthly. The DON said the poles had been cleaned
the week previously. The DON said if a pole was not cleaned it could introduce bacteria or dirt into a
resident's feeding tube site causing illness. The DON said she was unsure if there was a policy related to
ensuring the poles were cleaned. The DON said the Admin was responsible for facility structure and
environment concerns.
Interview on 5/2/2024 at 2:26 PM with the Admin, she said staff had been provided with training to ensure
the rooms were as homelike as possible, and the walls, bedside table, and feeding tube apparatuses in
Resident #27 and #41's rooms were not homelike. The Admin said she expected all staff to look for those
concerns. The Admin said executive staff also completed angel rounds looking for homelike environment
concerns. The Admin said she believed the angels should have seen the concerns in Resident #27 and
Resident #41's rooms. The Admin said a concern with the staff not seeing those issues was the residents
would not have a homelike environment, and the facility was the home of all its residents. The Admin said
the facility did not have a policy related to maintaining a homelike facility, but the angel rounds checklist
should provide the information needed to ensure all residents' rooms were homelike.
Record review of the facility's Guardian Angel Weekly Round Checklist revealed a statement which read
Issues are addressed immediately when possible, by the Guardian Angel. Unresolved issues are
documented on a Concern/Resolution form and submitted immediately to the Administrator. The checklist
included areas of concern including the following:
odors in the rooms,
clean floors,
clean bathroom, and
the supplement pole clean and dated.

Record review of Resident #72's PASRR Level 1 Screening performed on 9/1/23, revealed No was marked
to the question, Is there evidence or an indicator this is an individual that has a Mental Illness? There was
not another PASRR completed to re-evaluate her mental illness.
Residents Affected - Few
Record review of Resident #72's Physician's Orders revealed the following orders from DO A:
-Trazodone 50mg, ½ PO QHS. Ordered on 8/31/23 at 10:07pm, for major depressive disorder.

Interview on 5/1/2024 at 1:11 PM with the MDS Nurse, he said he had been employed since January of
2023. The MDS Nurse said his duties included completing and reviewing the PASRR process, importing the
PASRR documents, and uploading them to the facility's EHR. The MDS Nurse said Resident #1's PASRR
was completed by family prior to her arrival to the facility and a follow-up PASRR should have been
completed based on her diagnoses. The MDS nurse said following a new PASRR Form 1012 should have
been completed to indicate she was not eligible for PASRR services due to a primary diagnosis of
dementia. The MDS nurse said the Form 1012 documented a resident was not eligible for PASRR services
due to a primary diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. The MDS nurse said the purpose of the
PASRR was to ensure residents with MI, ID, or DD who were eligible received additional PASRR services,
including physical equipment, psychiatric care, and/or outside activities. The MDS Nurse said because
Resident #1 was not eligible due to her primary diagnosis of dementia, he was unsure what could have
occurred with her inaccurate PASRR documents.
Interview on 5/2/2024 at 1:32 PM with the DON, she said the PASRR was required of all residents to
determine if they were eligible for additional services based on diagnoses. The DON said Resident #1's
PASRR should have been noted as positive due to her diagnoses. The DON said the facility completed an
audit of all PASRR documentation on that date to ensure no other residents had inaccurate PASRR
documentation. The DON said without accurate PASRR documentation, or a Form 1012, Resident #1 may
not have received additional services she was eligible for. The DON said the facility did not have a policy
related to PASRR, and it followed the RAI policies from CMS.
Interview on 5/2/2024 at 2:26 PM with the Admin, she said if a resident's PASRR was inaccurate, he/she
may not receive the services he/she was entitled to. The Admin said the PASRR allowed residents to
receive outside services for MI, ID, or DD. The Admin said the facility did not have a policy specific to
PASRR, but instead it relied on the RAI instructions provided by CMS.

Interview with the MDS Nurse on 5/3/24 at 10:00am, he said he had been an MDS Nurse since February
2019 but had been at the facility since January 2023. He said he found out about updates in the morning
meetings when they discussed changes in residents and then he would update the care plans at that time.
He said he updated all aspects of the care plans. He said sometimes the care plans were updated by the
nurses, but he usually told them to come to him with all the care plan issues and he would take care of it
because he was always there and that was all he did. He said he knew he had 48hrs for a baseline care
plan and 14 days for the comprehensive care plan, but he got the care plans updated within a couple hours
and did not wait because the care plans would get backed up and it was hard to get caught up again. He
said Resident #29's fall should have been on the care plan, Resident #40's hospice and UTI/antibiotic
should have been on the care plan, Resident #57's diet should have been updated, and Resident #41's
diet/PEG rate should have been updated. He said he missed it out of human error, and he was going to fix
it right then. He said care plans were specific modalities of care and specific ways to care for residents. He
said if the care plan was wrong or not updated then the resident could get care that was not needed or
wrong.
Record review of the facility's policies and procedures on Person-Centered Care Plan (revised: 10/1/20)
read in part: .Comprehensive Care Plan: Developed after completion of the discipline-specific assessment
and within one (1) week after completion of the MDS. Will be reviewed and updated as needs are identified
and after each MDS assessment .The person-centered care plan is interdisciplinary and created to guide
facility staff in providing the treatment, care and services necessary for the patient/resident to obtain and
maintain the highest physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being possible. The plan is also used to
promote patient/resident and family involvement in planning care .The MDS department schedules
assessment dates and the Social Services department schedules the care plan conference to coordinated
follow the assessment reference date (ARD) .

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
observations, interviews, and record reviews, 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 1 (Resident #64) of 9 residents
viewed for infection control.
Residents Affected - Few
-LVN D did not wear appropriate PPE when administering Resident #64's PEG (tube into stomach for
nutrition) tube medications, when he was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions.
This failure could place residents and staff at risk for cross-contamination, spread of infection and could
potentially affect all others in the building.
Findings include:
Record review of Resident #64's undated face sheet revealed she was a [AGE] year-old female admitted on
[DATE] with diagnoses of multiple sclerosis (immune system attacks covering of nerve cells in brain, optic
nerve, and spinal cord), contusion (bruise) of right great toe, muscle wasting and atrophy, need for
assistance with personal care, gastrostomy (surgical opening to the outside from the stomach), dysphagia
(trouble swallowing), cognitive communication deficit (difficulty with thinking and using language), functional
quadriplegia (immobility from medical condition without injury), and conversion disorder with seizures
(condition where a mental health issue disrupts how brain works).
Record review of Resident #64's admission MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS (used to
evaluate cognition) could not be assessed due to her condition. Staff Assessment for Mental Status
revealed she had severely impaired cognitive skills. She had impairment on both sides of her upper and
lower extremities and was bed bound. According to the assessment she was dependent with all ADLs. The
MDS revealed diagnoses of gastrostomy (surgical opening from stomach to the outside) and dysphagia
(trouble swallowing). The MDS assessment revealed she had a swallowing disorder and received nutrition
through a feeding tube while a resident. She received 51% or more of her total calories through the tube
feeding (tube into stomach for nutrition) and 501 cc/day or more of her fluid intake through the tube feeding.
At the time of the assessment, she did not have any pressure ulcers/injuries.
Record review of Resident #64's undated care plan revealed a Focus: I am at risk for malnutrition and
dehydration related to enteral feedings (tube into stomach for nutrition) secondary to MS (Start: 1/18/24,
Edited: 4/25/24). Goal: Maintain weight with no significant changes through next review. Will tolerate tube
feeding (tube into stomach for nutrition) as ordered as evidenced by no nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
placement checks, residual checks (how much feeding is left in stomach after last feeding), and weight
stability (Target: 7/25/24, Edited: 4/25/24). Interventions: Provide tube feeding (tube into stomach for
nutrition) and water flush as ordered.
Record review of Resident #64's Physician's Orders revealed the following orders from DO A:
-Cephalexin (antibiotic) 500mg capsule, 1 via G-Tube (tube into stomach for nutrition) BID, for contusion
(bruise) of right great toe with damage to nail. Ordered on 4/25/24 a 2:08pm.
In an observation and interview with LVN D on 5/1/24 at 1:20pm, Resident #64 had an Enhanced Barrier
Precaution sign on her door to her room. LVN D went into the resident's room and gave her

medication through her PEG (tube into stomach for nutrition) tube with only gloves on and did not put a
gown on. LVN D said Resident #64 was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions which required her to don (put
on) gloves and a gown during medication administration. LVN D said she forgot to put the required PPE on
and said if she did not wear it, contamination to herself or to the resident could occur.
Interview with the DON on 5/3/24 at 10:34am, she said the Enhanced Barrier Precaution sign on the
resident's door was for whichever resident had a line (PEG [tube into stomach for nutrition], foley [tube into
bladder], PICC [type of line to give antibiotics through], trach [hole in trachea to breathe through], etc.) or a
wound. She said she expected staff to gown up anytime they performed resident care, like giving
medications through a PEG (tube into stomach for nutrition) tube. She said there were no orders for the
Enhanced Barrier Precautions in the system because it was a standing protocol depending on the status of
each resident. She said if staff did not wear appropriate PPE cross contamination could occur to
themselves or the resident.
Record review of the facility's policies and procedures on Transmission Based/Standard Precautions, and
Enhanced Barrier Precautions (revised 5/15/23) read in part: The facility will use transmission-based
precautions when the route of transmission is not completely interrupted using standard precautions alone.
These are applied as needed based on the epidemiology of the infecting organism or infectious disease
syndrome. There may be some diseases that have multiple routes of transmission which more than one
transmission-based precaution may be required. Transmission based precautions will always be used in
addition to standard precautions. Health care workers (HCW) will implement Universal/Standard
Precautions whenever there is occupational exposure to blood and body fluids .Health care workers will
implement enhanced barrier precautions according to policy with additional measures to protect residents
and staff from Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs) .Enhanced Barrier Precautions expand the use of
PPE (gowns and gloves) during high contact resident care activities that provide opportunities for transfer
of MDROs to staff hands and clothing. EBP will be implemented for All residents with the following: Infection
or colonization with an MDRO when Contact Precautions do not otherwise apply. Wounds and/or indwelling
medical devices (central lines, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator) regardless of MDRO
colonization status. EBP will be implemented during the following high-contact resident care activities:
dressing, bathing/showering, transferring, providing hygiene, changing linens, changing briefs or assisting
with toilet, device care or use: central lines, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator .EBP
requires the following PPE: gloves, gown .The facility will post clear signage on the door or wall outside of
the room indicating the type of precautions and required PPE (gowns and gloves). The facility will post
signage that clearly indicates the high-contact resident care activities that require the use of gown and
gloves .
