During an interview on 4/1/2025 at 1:01 PM Resident #2's representative stated Resident #2 had lived at
the facility since May 2025, and she was frustrated with the previous Administrator and the DON due to the
poor communication and lack of acknowledging and resolving grievances. Resident #2's representative
stated she and family had been making complaints directly to the previous administrator and the DON for
months with no resolutions. Resident #2's representative stated she and family had been making
complaints via text messages, emails, and verbally to the previous administrator and the DON.
A record review of Resident #2's representatives text messages and emails to and from the previous
Administrator and the DON between the time periods of February 2025 to March 2025 revealed:
On 2/13/25 at 6:13 PM Resident #2's representative, sent a text message to the previous admin and the
DON which revealed, Hi (previous Administrator), my (Resident #2) was just now needing some pain meds
I told (Resident #2) lets go in and ring your bell. I was abruptly told she would not come (LVN L) if we
pushed the button. (Resident #2) has told me she does not come at night, . this is gravely concerning. The
DON replied, Hi ladies I am sorry this happened, and clearly this is not acceptable, so this will be
addressed. who said LVN L would not come? . this is the first complaint I have ever gotten from her. The
Previous Administrator responded Thank you for letting us know. We will address.
An email sent to the DON from Resident #2's representative dated 2/24/2025 at 11:16 AM Hi (DON), I
wanted to reach out because as you know, our (Resident #2) is extremely ill, and our (family member) has
requested ambulance to come and pick him up to transfer him to the hospital. (facility's) PA is concerned
also about him possibly having pneumonia. We are deeply upset and concerned about how the nursing
staff, who see him daily and nightly, haven't seemed to recognize the significant changes in his
condition-his inability to talk clearly, walk on his own or even transfer safely along with the horrid cough. It's
especially alarming that they attempted to collect a urine sample by placing a doughnut in the toilet when
he isn't even able to walk to the bathroom. This situation is unacceptable, and I'd appreciate your help in
addressing it as soon as possible. Additionally, sic(name), the ADON, mentioned to my family members a
couple of months ago, that your (other family members) get in the way. The reality is, if we don't advocate
for our parents, things don't seem to get addressed in a timely manner. For example, I have been
discussing my Resident #2's needs to restart PT with the DOR and (previous Administrator) for over a
month due to his leg weakness, and now he has deteriorated to the point where he can no longer use his
legs at all. We are simply trying to ensure our (Resident #2) receive the best care possible, and we need
reassurance that these concerns will be taken seriously and addressed appropriately. Thank you for your
time and attention to this.
On Thursday 2/27/25, at 3:29 PM Resident #2's representative texted the DON with a complaint it revealed,
(DON) this is (Resident #2's Representative) Tuesday morning I spoke with my (Resident #2's) hospitalist
and she said that my (Resident #2) did have a bad kidney infection. There is a discrepancy here I do not
understand . his symptoms of confusion, extremely slurred speech and inability to walk is the reason I
requested that an ambulance be called. These symptoms were ignored. All we are asking is for you guys to
acknowledge that the nurses on duty Sunday and Monday did not take care of business. The DON
responded, I am not going to put blame on anyone nor sit her and argue about what a doctor did or didn't
say I am simply stating (Resident #2's) labs show nothing of the sort nor did the dr. put that anywhere on
his notes again if you do not feel that we can care properly for your parents I will be more than happy to
send paper work to other facilities let me know thanks.

we normally get a copy of our (Resident #2) care plans at the care plan meetings. Since not receiving one
last week, could we have them emailed to this email address?
Record review of the facility's grievances from August 2024 to March 2025 revealed no evidence of the
grievances detailed on 2/13/2025, 2/27/2025, 2/24,2025, and on 3/3/2025.
Residents Affected - Some
During a joint interview on 4/1/2025 at 9:51 am with the Administrator and the DON, the DON stated
Resident #2's representatives were not happy with the care provided to Resident #2 and would often
complain, however Resident #2 was happy with his care. The administrator stated he had just begun his
position of Administrator on 3/1/25. The Administrator stated he soon recognized the facility needed
improvement recognizing and acting upon grievances. The Administrator stated he began working with the
staff to recognize and document grievances and the administrator evidenced the grievance log to
demonstrate the increased number and quality documentation of grievances during March 2025 to include
the resolutions of grievances.
During an interview on 4/4/2025 at 4:00 PM the DON stated she began her position as DON on 12/31/2025
and during that time Resident #2's family had made numerous complaints. The DON stated due to the
investigations of complaints by the survey process she recognized she had not understood the grievance
process and stated the previous Administrator had not trained her on the expectations and procedures for
the grievance process. The DON stated the previous Administrator was the abuse, neglect, and exploitation
prevention coordinator and believed he would oversee the grievances reported to him and believed he was
responsible for the grievance process. The DON stated the previous Administrator was aware of all
complaints because all complaints and the previous days business was discussed during the daily
interdisciplinary team meetings.
During an interview on 4/5/2025 at 5:02 PM the Administrator stated he was not the administrator at the
time of the complaints on behalf of Resident #2 and the previous Administrator was responsible for
ensuring those complaints were heard, documented, and satisfactorily resolved for Resident #2 and others.
The Administrator stated he was the abuse, neglect, and exploitation prevention coordinator. The
Administrator stated the failure to hear grievances could place residents at risk for not having their
grievances heard. The Administrator stated he had begun training for his team and all the staff to ensure
they all understood the grievance process and expected increased documentation and recognition of
grievances with satisfactory resolutions.
A record review of the facility's Resident and Family Grievances dated July 2022, revealed, Policy: It is the
policy of this facility to support each resident's and family member's right to voice grievances without

Residents Affected - Some
AM revealed a complaint and an allegation of neglect, Hi (DON), I wanted to reach out because as you
know, our (Resident #2) is extremely ill, and our (family member) has requested ambulance to come and
pick him up to transfer him to the hospital. (facility's) PA is concerned also about him possibly having
pneumonia. We are deeply upset and concerned about how the nursing staff, who see him daily and nightly,
haven't seemed to recognize the significant changes in his condition-his inability to talk clearly, walk on his
own or even transfer safely along with the horrid cough. It's especially alarming that they attempted to
collect a urine sample by placing a doughnut in the toilet when he isn't even able to walk to the bathroom.
This situation is unacceptable, and I'd appreciate your help in addressing it as soon as possible.
Additionally, sic(name), the ADON, mentioned to my parents a couple of months ago, that your daughters
get in the way. The reality is, if we don't advocate for our parents, things don't seem to get addressed in a
timely manner. For example, I have been discussing my dad's need to restart PT with the DOR and
(previous Administrator) for over a month due to his leg weakness, and now he has deteriorated to the point
where he can no longer use his legs at all. We are simply trying to ensure our (Resident #2) receive the
best care possible, and we need reassurance that these concerns will be taken seriously and addressed
appropriately. Thank you for your time and attention to this.
On Thursday February 27, 2025, at 3:29 PM Resident #2's representative texted the DON with a complaint
and an allegation of neglect on Resident #2's behalf, (DON) this is (Resident #2's Representative) Tuesday
morning I spoke with my (Resident #2's) hospitalist and she said that my (Resident #2) did have a bad
kidney infection. There is a discrepancy here I do not understand . his symptoms of confusion, extremely
slurred speech and inability to walk is the reason I requested that an ambulance be called. These
symptoms were ignored. All we are asking is for you guys to acknowledge that the nurses on duty Sunday
and Monday did not take care of business. The DON responded, I am not going to put blame on anyone nor
sit her and argue about what a doctor did or didn't say I am simply stating (Resident #2's) labs show
nothing of the sort nor did the dr. put that anywhere on his notes again if you do not feel that we can care
properly for your parents I will be more than happy to send paper work to other facilities let me know
thanks.
During a joint interview on [DATE] at 9:51 am with the Administrator and the DON, the DON stated
Resident #2's representatives were not happy with the care provided to Resident #2 and would often
complain, however Resident #2 was happy with his care. The administrator stated he had just begun his
position of Administrator on [DATE]. The Administrator stated he soon recognized the facility needed
improvement recognizing and acting upon allegations of ANE. The Administrator stated he began working
with the staff to recognize and report allegations of ANE. The administrator evidenced the grievance log to
demonstrate the increased number and quality documentation of grievances during [DATE], which were
reviewed for potential allegations of ANE.

facility since [DATE], and she was frustrated with the previous Administrator and the DON due to the poor
communication and lack of acknowledging and resolving grievances and allegations of ANE . Resident #2's
representative stated she and family had been making allegations directly to the previous administrator and
the DON for months with no resolutions. Resident #2's representative stated she and family had been
making allegations via text messages, emails, and verbally to the previous administrator and the DON.

slurred speech and inability to walk is the reason I requested that an ambulance be called. These
symptoms were ignored. All we are asking is for you guys to acknowledge that the nurses on duty Sunday
and Monday did not take care of business. The DON responded, I am not going to put blame on anyone nor
sit her and argue about what a doctor did or didn't say I am simply stating (Resident #2's) labs show
nothing of the sort nor did the dr. put that anywhere on his notes again if you do not feel that we can care
properly for your parents I will be more than happy to send paper work to other facilities let me know
thanks.

administered CPR. The complainant, not realizing that Resident #1 had no pulse and wasn't breathing
which complainant took to mean unconscious, sat speechless. complainant then said, You mean she
(Resident #1) didn't have a pulse? The RN A replied No. She wasn't breathing, and she did not have a
pulse. When I got in there, I assessed for breath and pulse, didn't find either one, and jumped on her and
yelled Starting CPR and gave her 2 compressions. At that point her chest came off the bed and she made a
loud groaning sound. The nurse went on to explain that she never checked the binder on the crash cart and
that there is no protocol for the order things should be done when the crash cart is needed. RN A told
complainant she only knew about the DNR because the Dr called over from the hospital to discuss what
happened and when the nurse got to the part about the CPR, he stated to her You realize she has a DNR.
The nurse said it was after that phone call that she went and checked the binder and saw the non-hospital
DNR was in there. The RN A stated that she had called her Director of Nursing, but she wanted us to hear it
from her what had happened.

Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, interviews, and record reviews the facility failed to ensure personnel handled,
stored, processed, and transported linens so as to prevent the spread of infection, for 1 of 1 laundry
departments reviewed for infection prevention and control.
Residents Affected - Some
1.
The laundry department presented with resident's clean blankets stored with soiled infectious laundry.
2.
Laundry Aide AO and Laundry Aide AP donned only gloves and did not don full PPE while handling soiled
infectious laundry.
These failures could place residents and staff for cross-contamination of infectious diseases.
The findings included:
During an interview on 4/1/2025 at 9:10 AM the Administrator and the DON stated their census was 73 with
some residents were on isolation for potential communicable diseases with some residents on droplet
precautions due to influenza, some residents were on EBP, and others were on contact precautions.
During an observation of the laundry department on 4/2/2025 at 3:22 PM revealed residents' clean blankets
were stored in the soiled laundry room alongside 4 boxes of soiled infectious disease laundry.
During an observation and interview on 4/2/2025 at 3:23 PM LA AO stated she was employed as a
housekeeper and laundry aide at the facility for the past 8 months. LA AO stated the laundry department
included 3 separate rooms connected by 2 doors. The first room was a soiled laundry room connected to
the washing machine room by an open door. The third room was the dying machine room connected to the
washer room by an open door. Further observation revealed the soiled laundry room contained four
cardboard boxes which contained soiled laundry in plastic bags. The boxes were imprinted biohazard .
caution; contains medical waste which may be biohazardous. The soiled linen room revealed numerous
blankets and quilts hung upon 2 metal wheeled clothing carts. LA AO stated the blankets were clean and
wet and could not go in to the dryers, so the blankets were hung upon the carts to dry out. LA AO identified
the 4 cardboard boxes in the same room as laundry from residents' rooms which were under isolation
precautions due to infections. LA AO stated only PPE in the laundry department were gloves. LA AO stated
and demonstrated she practiced hand hygiene, wore gloves, placed soiled infectious disease laundry into
the washing machine, doffed the gloves, and practiced hand hygiene.
During an observation of the laundry department and joint interviews with the Housekeeping Director (HK
Dir), LA AP, and LA AO on 4/3/2025 at 9:10 AM revealed the laundry department only had gloves for PPE,
continued with the four biohazard boxes stored in the soiled laundry room alongside the clean blankets and
continued with the doors to the soiled laundry room, washing machine room, and the dyer room were
opened while soiled laundry was washed and clean laundry was dried and folded. LA AP and AO stated
they were long term employees and had not been trained on how to handle soiled

infectious disease laundry. LA AP stated she used common sense to handle soiled infectious disease
laundry and used gloves for the handling of soiled infectious disease laundry. LA AP stated the soiled
infectious disease laundry was stored in cardboard boxes and stored in the soiled laundry room. LA AP
stated the laundry department was small and the clean wet blankets needed to be hung to dry in the soiled
laundry room alongside of the soiled infectious disease laundry. LA AO agreed. The HK Dir stated training
for infectious disease prevention and control was outside of his scope, but he had received training from the
DON on general infection prevention and control measures for example donning and doffing PPE while
providing direct care to residents who were under isolation precautions. The HK Dir stated soiled laundry
from residents' rooms which were under infection isolation would be placed into plastic bags and then into
biohazard cardboard boxes and then delivered to the soiled laundry room. The HK Dir stated he would
report the lack of training, lack of PPE, and potential cross-contamination of clean and soiled laundry to the
DON.
During an interview on 4/5/2025 at 5:15 PM with the DON and the Administrator, the Administrator stated
he had received a report of potential cross-contamination in the laundry department. The Administrator
stated storing clean laundry in the soiled laundry room and not wearing full PPE while handling soiled
infectious laundry placed residents and staff at risk for cross-contamination and at risk for contracting an
infection; the DON concurred.
A record review of the facility's Infection Prevention and Control Program dated 3/2022, revealed, Policy:

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Accessed 4/5/2025, revealed, Residents in nursing homes are at increased risk of becoming colonized and
developing infection with MDROs. Enhanced Barrier Precautions require staff to wear a gown and gloves
while performing high-contact care activities with all residents who are at higher risk of acquiring or
spreading an MDRO.
Residents Affected - Some
These include the following residents:
Residents known to be infected or colonized with an MDRO;
Residents with an indwelling medical device including central venous catheter, urinary catheter, feeding
tube (PEG tube, G-tube), tracheostomy/ventilator regardless of their MDRO status;
Residents with a wound, regardless of their MDRO status
High-contact resident care activities where a gown and gloves should be used, which are often bundled
together as part of morning or evening care, include:
Bathing/showering, - Changing bed linens, . Should Environmental Services (EVS) or housekeeping
personnel wear gowns and gloves when cleaning and disinfecting rooms of residents on Enhanced Barrier
Precautions? .
The research that was the basis for the current guidance evaluated high-contact resident care activities, not
specifically the risk of transmission of MDROs to the hands or clothing of Environmental Services (EVS) or
housekeeping personnel. However, changing linen is considered a high contact resident care activity;
gowns and gloves should be worn by EVS personnel if they are changing the linen of residents on
Enhanced Barrier Precautions and could be considered for additional environmental services or
housekeeping responsibilities that involve extensive contact with the resident or the resident's environment.
