The facility failed to implement their policy on Enhanced Barrier Precautions for Resident #2 who had wounds, indwelling medical devices and was incontinent of bowel and bladder. This failure could place residents at risk for healthcare associated cross-contamination and at risk of the transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs).

F 0880 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few that day. He said he had not seen postings by the entrance to the residents' rooms, that indicated which residents were on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. He said PPE was not available in the 100-Hall on that day when he had worked at the nursing facility. He said the risk of not using PPE when residents were on Enhanced Barrier Precautions could result in cross contamination of uniforms and spread of infection. During an interview on 10/06/25 at 1:19 PM with RN Charge Nurse B on the 6-2 shift on the 100-Hall revealed, Resident #2 had a skin condition that caused painful sores and skin peeling all throughout his body. She said Resident #2 was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions because of the skin sores, pressure ulcer and G-tube. She said the facility only posted the small CDC Pocket Guide by the entrance to the resident rooms. She said they had been trained to use EBP for residents with indwelling medical devices, wounds, or those who are colonized by or infected with a multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO). She said the staff should use EBP when dressing or bathing, transferring, changing linens, assisting with toileting, accessing indwelling medical devices, providing wound care, and other high-contact resident care activities. During an observation and interview on 10/06/25 at 1:24 PM, with RN Charge Nurse B on the 6-2 shift in the 100-Hall revealed Resident in room [ROOM NUMBER]-A had a G-tube; Resident in room [ROOM NUMBER] had a G-tube and Resident #3 had a UTI.

During an interview on 10/06/25 at 1:29 PM with CNA K assigned to the 100-Hall in the morning shift revealed, there were no residents at this time on any type of isolation. The state surveyor asked the CNA where they kept the PPE in the 100-Hall. She said, We do not have any PPE in the 100-Hall because we currently do not have any residents on any type of isolation. The CNA could not explain to the state surveyor what Enhanced Barrier Precautions were and what they needed to do. She said, We just use gloves when providing care to the residents. She said she did not remember being trained on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. She said she had not noticed the CDC pocket guide posted by the entrance to the resident rooms. During an interview on 10/06/25 at 1:38 PM with LVN Charge Nurse H assigned to the 300-Hall revealed, the facility posted a copy of the Enhanced Barrier Precautions CDC Pocket Guide by the entrance to the resident rooms. She said EBP were followed by the staff when residents have indwelling medical devices, wounds, or those who are colonized by or infected with a multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO). She said when a resident is on EBP, the staff should use an isolation gown, gloves and goggles as needed when dressing or bathing, transferring, changing linens, assisting with toileting, accessing medical devices, providing wound care, and other high-contact resident care activities. She said we usually keep a plastic container with PPE by the Kiosk, but it is not there today. She said that failure to use PPE when residents are on EBP could result in cross-contamination and the spread of infection. During an observation and interview on 10/05/25 at 3:35 PM with CNA C working on the 100-Hall in the evening shift revealed, she did not know why residents were placed on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. She said we only use gloves when direct care is provided to the residents. She said, We do not have any PPE such as gowns, masks, or goggles in the 100-Hall since we do not have any residents on isolation. She said, Central Supply Clerk keeps PPE in the small supply room in the hallway by the 100-Hall. Let me take you to the small supply room to show you the plastic container where they keep the PPE to use as needed. The CNA demonstrated to the state surveyor the drawers labeled Gowns and Gloves were empty. She said, We always have PPE in the container. I don't know why there is no PPE in the small supply room.

She said after he had completed the antibiotic he was taken off isolation and they only used gloves when direct care was provided.

She stated that people on isolation have both signs because extra precautions were needed for them. She stated that sometimes there weren't any gowns available and that she had gone into the rooms without a gown only with gloves because that was all that was available. She stated that she had told the DON and ADON when this would happen, but it would take them a while to restock, and she could not keep residents waiting. She could not recall the last in-service regarding PPE, contact precautions and EBP. During an interview on 10/06/2025 at 3:57 PM with CNA R revealed, she did not wear the PPE unless the residents were on isolation because those residents were contagious, so it was protection for her from the resident as well as protecting the resident from any new infections. She stated that she did not wear PPE when she went into rooms with residents with foleys and would only wear gloves when foleys were emptied. She could not tell the difference between residents needing enhanced barrier precautions and residents on isolation/ contact precautions. She stated that she was just PRN, and she did not remember the last time there was a training over this, she stated that the facility did give training, but she just could not remember the last one.

She said the administrator was out and would not be returning to work this week. The DON said, I am acting administrator until the administrator returns. She said, The Infection Control Preventionist and I are responsible for checking direct care staff are following EBP to prevent cross contamination and the spread of infection. During an interview on 10/07/25 at 11:27 AM with the Central Supply worker revealed, she was responsible for stocking PPE on the Resident Halls and in the small supply room by the 100-Hall.

Central Supply Clerk said, I check the PPE levels twice a day. I did not restock the PPE this morning in the small supply room because I have been busy. The DON said that failure to have PPE readily available for direct care staff to use could result in cross contamination and spread of infection. During an interview on 10/07/25 at 11:40 AM with the DON revealed she and ADON made rounds several times during the day. She said I check for hand sanitizer and PPE to ensure these items are readily available in the Resident Halls for the staff to use as needed. She said, Today, I did not check the mini supply room by the 100-Hall today to see if PPE was available in the plastic container. She said we have not provided any training on EBP since I started working here in March 2025 and do not know when the last time the staff were trained on EBP. The state surveyor requested to see the in-service training binder for 2025. The DON said, EBP pocket guides are posted by the entrance of each resident rooms, and they know they need to gown up and put on gloves when they enter the room to provide any type of care to the residents. We do this to protect the residents from infections. That is all that we do. She said Central Supply usually checks that PPE is available in Resident Halls. The DON said, She is fairly new as well and is trying to learn what she needs to do. The DON said the failure to use EBP put the residents and staff at risk of cross contamination and spread of infections.
