done to make sure that after a resident fell, they were cognitively intact. RN B continued stating the
neurological checks were to make sure there were not any fractures, concussion, head aches or anything
affecting the resident's neurological state. RN B stated neurological checks were to be done for 3 or 4 days
after a fall either witnessed or unwitnessed, because the resident might complain later. RN B stated that the
staff needed physician's orders if the resident returned from the hospital the same day. RN B stated she did
not complete neurological checks for Resident #1 when he returned on 09/27/2025. RN B stated
neurological checks were to be resumed with the physician's orders. RN B identified some risks of not

could place 68 residents living at the facility at risk of drug diversion. The findings included:During an
observation on 10/01/25 at 9:26 AM revealed, the door to the DON's office was opened and unsupervised.
There was an opened cardboard box that contained medication blister packets stored on the floor by a
cabinet and several medication blister packets were visible from the entrance to DON's office. During an
observation on 10/01/25 at 10:12 AM revealed, the DON was not in the office while the Housekeeper was
vacuuming the office and the opened cardboard box that contained medication blister packets was still
stored on the floor in the DON's office. During an observation on 10/01/25 at 10:14 AM revealed, the
Corporate Clinical Service director was working in DON's office and the opened cardboard box that
contained medication blister packets was still stored on the floor in the DON's office. During an observation
and interview on 10/01/25 at 12:38 PM, with DON confirmed there were two cardboard boxes that
contained medications stored on the floor in her office. She said the boxes contained medications that were
pending return to the pharmacy for credit. She said, One of those boxes was stored in the office when I
started working here in March 2025. I do not know how often medications are returned to the pharmacy for
credit. I know that medications should not be left unattended when stored in my office because someone
can come in my office and take the medications. The DON said the risk of leaving medications in her office
unattended could result in residents and/or other unauthorized individuals taking the prescribed
medications from her office. During an interview on 10/02/25 at 10:30 AM revealed, the DON's office door
was still open, and no one was in the office. It was observed that the two white cardboard boxes that

white cardboard boxes stored on the floor by the cabinet in the DON's office that contained medications. He
confirmed the top cardboard box was opened. He demonstrated to the state surveyor that the second box
was not sealed and contained medication. He said, The door to the DON's office should be kept locked if
medications are not stored in a locked cabinet. He said, Let me close the door and go tell the DON. He said
the risk of leaving the door open and unsupervised could result in someone coming into the office and
taking the medications. The DON's office was located by the living room and next to the central nurse's
station. During an interview on 10/02/25 at 12:40 PM, the Administrator revealed medications pending
return to the pharmacy for credit should be stored in the medication room. He said, Medications pending
return to the pharmacy should be placed in the locked plastic containers that are kept in the medication
room. The large plastic containers are locked, and they have an opening where the staff can drop the

Review of facility's CNA/Nurses assignment Sheet dated 09/21/25 revealed Contracted agency CNA was
not listed on the assignment sheet. During a telephone interview 10/01/25 at 2:46 PM, with Agency CNA A
agency revealed, he worked on the 10-6 shift on 09/21/25. He said he was not given access to the Kiosk to
document the care that he had provided to the residents assigned to him on the 100-Hall on that day.
During a telephone interview on 10/06/25 at 9:21 AM, Agency CNA A said, I was not granted access to the
Kiosk so I could not document in the resident's electronic record the care that was provided to my assigned
residents in the 100-Hall. He said no one assisted him in charting in the Kiosk at the end of the shift at the
end of the night shift on 09/22/25. During an interview on 10/02/25 at 4:02 PM, the Administrator revealed it
was the first time CNA A had worked at the facility. He said agency personnel were given access to
document in the Kiosk prior to reporting to work so they could document the care that was provided during
their shift. He said he had followed up with the DON today at 4:16 PM, and she did not know that CNA A
had been scheduled to work on the day. So, he did not have access on 09/21/25 to document the care
provided in the Kiosk for the residents in the 100-Hall. During an interview on 10/02/25 at 11:33 PM, with
CNA I on the 10-6 shift revealed, she worked with the agency CNA A on 09/21/25 and he was assigned to
work in the 100-Hall. She said CNA A was not given access to document the care provided to the residents
during the night shift in the Kiosk. She said CNA A was not provided with any instructions on how to
document the resident's care in the electronic record. She said, I offered to enter his resident's information
in the Kiosk at the end of the shift in the morning on 09/22/25 and is why the documentation was showing
under her name. She said, I would ask him the questions on the Point of Care Report and entered his
responses under in the Kiosk and that was the reason the documentation was showing my name. During
an interview on 10/02/25 at 11:25 PM, with LVN J on the 10-6 shift revealed, she worked with CAN I on
09/21/25 and said she was not sure if he had access to document in the Kiosk electronic record on that
day. Review of Point of Care History reported provided by the DON on 10/03/25 at 8:52 AM, dated 9/21/25 9/22/25 for ADL documentation for Resident #2 revealed CNA I documented in the Kiosk on 09/22/25 at
00:22:44 (12: 22 a.m.) for CNA A. During an interview and record review on 10/07/25 with the DON
revealed, CNA A picked up a shift at the last minute. She said, He showed up to work at the start of the shift
on 09/21/25 and they had allowed him to stay and work. She said he was assigned to work on the 100-Hall.
She said CNA A had not been granted access to document the care in the Kiosk, because she was not
aware that CNA A had been scheduled to work on 09/21/25 in the night shift. She said, That is why CNA I
documented for him on 09/22/25 at the end of the shift. During a telephone interview on 10/03/25 at 11:20
AM with, the contracted nursing agency employee who was responsible for scheduling staff to work at the
nursing facility said, agency staff were given access by the contracted facilities to chart in the residents'
electronic record before the start of shift. She said she was not aware of any concerns of access not
provided to agency staff to document care provided to the residents at the nursing facility. Review of
Nursing Agency contract signed 09/24/29 revealed, Responsibilities: Personnel have been advised to fully
document services provided in accordance with Client's policies and procedures, current applicable
standards of healthcare practices, and applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules and regulations.

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. Rounds made with RN Charge Nurse B revealed
there was no PPE readily available for staff to use in the 100-Hall. She said PPE should always be readily
accessible for staff to use as needed to prevent cross-contamination and spread of infections. 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. During an interview on 10/06/25
at 3:36 PM with CNA D revealed, the facility placed residents on EBP when the resident had a urinary
infection, skin infection, or COVID. She said, I know that we are supposed to

use gowns, mask, and gloves when providing direct care. She said she could not remember if they had
been trained on EBP. She said sometimes PPE was not readily available to use in the Resident Halls as
needed. She said Resident [NAME] initially was in isolation for a urinary tract infection and was on
antibiotics. She said after he had completed the antibiotic he was taken off isolation and they only used
gloves when direct care was provided. She said the resident had a G-tube and a pressure ulcer on the
buttocks. She said failure to have PPE could result in cross contamination and spread of infection. During
an interview on 10/06/2025 at 3:50 PM with CNA Q in the 300-Hall revealed, contact precautions were in
place when the resident had infections and EBP were for residents with foleys and g tubes. 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. During
an interview on 10/06/25 at 4:10 PM, with RN ADON/Infection Control Preventionist revealed, all
department heads except for the Administrator and DON completed hourly Angel Rounds on their
designated Resident Halls. She said she randomly checked during rounds nursing staff were following EBP
and using gloves when providing direct care to the residents. She said Central Supply placed plastic
containers with PPE by Kiosk in each unit. She said, I check every day in the morning to make sure PPE is
always available on the Resident Units to use as needed to prevent cross contamination and the spread of
infection. She said, We post a sign on the door to the resident's room when a resident needs to be on EBP.
She said, When a resident is on EBP, we place cardboard boxes in the resident's room for them to dispose
the contaminated PPE prior to leaving the resident's room. She said she had started working as the ADON
on September 28, 2025, and did not know if the staff had been trained in EBP. During an interview on
10/07/25 at 10:14 AM with the DON revealed she had started working at the facility on March12, 2025 and
did not know when the staff had been trained on EBP. 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. She said PPE was placed in plastic containers by the
entrance to the resident rooms if the residents were placed on any type of isolation. She said she kept a
plastic container with isolation gowns, gloves, masks, and gloves by the Kiosk in all resident units by the
Kiosk for the direct care staff to use when direct care was provided to the residents. She said she checked
the PPE levels at start of shift and twice before the end of the day on all Resident Halls and the small
supply room by the 100-Hall to ensure PPE was always available for the direct care staff to use as needed.

on 10/07/25 at 11:32 AM with the Central Supply worker revealed, the plastic container in the 300-Hall by
the Kiosk contained masks and isolation bags and the gown drawer was empty. She said, We usually keep
the isolation gowns in the plastic container by the Kiosk. I will put gowns in the container as soon as
possible. During an observation on 10/07/25 at 11:34 AM with the Central Supply worker revealed, the
plastic container by the Kiosk in the 200-Hall contained isolation gowns, masks, goggles, and isolation
bags. She said, We don't have anyone on isolation at this time. During an observation on 10/07/25 at 11:35
AM with the DON and Central Supply worker revealed, the plastic container stored in the locked supply
room by the 100-Hall revealed the gown and mask drawer were empty. 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. Review of the facility's
Infection Prevention and Control Policies and Procedures provided by the DON on 10/07/25 revised on May
15, 2023, revealed the following:Subject: Transmission Based/Standard Precautions, and Enhanced Barrier
PrecautionsPolicy: Health Care workers will implement Universal/Standard Precautions whenever there is
occupational exposure to blood and body fluids. The type of PPE and precautions implemented depends on
the potential for exposure, route of transmission, and infectious organism/pathogen.Health Care will
implement enhanced barrier precautions according to policy with additional measure to protect resident and
staff from Multidrug-resistant Organisms (MDROs) MDROs refers to microorganisms predominantly
bacteria that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents.Procedures:Enhanced Barrier
Precautions (EBP) documented in part: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
