NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on interview and record review 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 by failing to ensure: 1. Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 3 washed hands after removing gloves from changing Resident 26's diaper and proceeded to leave the room, observed during infection control tasks. 2.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in the food services department when there were five (5) flies (a type of insect) observed in the dishroom. This failure had the potential to result in 71 of 77 residents, who received food from the kitchen, to acquire food borne illnesses (illness caused by consuming contaminated foods or beverages) by consuming potentially contaminated food. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/24/2026 at 1:41 p.m., of the dishwashing area with the Dietary Supervisor (DS), observed 5 flies flying and landing from dirty dishes, to trash, then to the clean dishes. The DS stated there were flies flying around the dishwashing area, but she did not know why as the pest control company just came in this morning.

This deficient practice placed Resident 118 at risk for a delay in the continuity of care and receiving the services and treatment the resident needed. Findings: During a review of Resident 118's admission Record, the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 1/8/2026 with diagnoses including dementia (a progressive state of decline in mental abilities), difficulty in walking, and heart failure (a heart disorder which causes the heart to not pump the blood efficiently, sometimes resulting in leg swelling). During a review of Resident 118's History and Physical (H&P), dated 1/9/2026, the H&P indicated the Resident 118 had the capacity to understand and make decisions.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident`s environment was free of accident hazards for one of three sampled residents (Resident 90) reviewed for accidents by failing to ensure Resident 90 did not have medications or biologicals (medicines derived from living organisms-such as humans, animals, or microorganisms-rather than being created from chemicals) left at the bedside. These deficient practices increase the risk of accidents such as ingestion poisoning on residents. Findings: During a review of Resident 90's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 2/27/2026, with diagnoses including dependence on renal dialysis (a person requires regular, ongoing artificial blood filtration to remove waste and excess fluids, usually due to permanent kidney failure (ESRD) or severe acute injury), end stage renal disease (ESRD, irreversible kidney failure), and peritoneal abscess (a localized pocket of pus (infected fluid) that forms inside the belly (abdomen)).

NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents receiving enteral feeding (EF-also known as tube feeding, a method of supplying nutrients directly into the stomach) received appropriate care and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding for two (2) of two sampled residents (Residents 119 and 43) reviewed for tube feeding when the water flush bag was not changed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. This deficient practice had the potential to result in altered nutritional status such as dehydration (when the body uses or loses more fluid than it takes in), malnutrition (a serious condition that happens when your diet does not contain the right amount of nutrients), and complications associated with enteral feeding such as gastrointestinal (GI-relating to stomach and intestines) problems such as abdominal pain and diarrhea (loose stool).

Resident 111's oxygen via nasal cannula (a lightweight, flexible plastic tube used to deliver supplemental oxygen directly into a person's nostrils), dated 3/12/2026, was discarded and replaced with a new setup. 2. Resident 90's bottle of sterile water for inhalation 1000 milliliters (ml - a unit of volume) with a date opened on 3/1/2026 was discarded. These deficient practices had the potential for residents to develop complications such as shortness of breath and desaturation (low levels of oxygen in the blood) and respiratory infections. Findings: 1. During a review of Resident 111's admission Record (AR), the AR indicated the facility admitted the resident on 7/16/2025, and readmitted the resident on 3/6/2026, with diagnoses…

NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY During an observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure drugs and biologicals used in the facility must be labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles, and include the appropriate accessory and cautionary instructions, and the expiration date when applicable for two of six Medication Carts (Station 1 Medication Cart 1 and Station 1 Medication Cart 2), by failing to: 1. Place the name of the resident, a readable room number, and an open date on a bottle of eye drop (Refreshe, over-the-counter artificial tears used to instantly moisturize, lubricate, and soothe dry, gritty, burning, or irritated eyes) in Medication Cart 1 in Station 1. 2.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to implement its policy for antibiotic (medication used to treat infection) stewardship (efforts in long-term care facilities to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate [means prescribing the right drug at the right dose at the right time for the right duration]) program and infection prevention and control program for one (1) of 1 sampled resident (Resident 119 ) by failing to clarify with the physician the appropriate indication for the continued use of antibiotic from the hospital. This deficient practice had the potential to increase antibiotic resistance (when bacteria develop the ability to withstand the effects of antibiotics, making it difficult or impossible to treat infections) from unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use. Findings: During a review of Resident 119's admission Record (front page of the chart that contains a summary of basic information about the resident), the admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 3/19/2026 with diagnoses including acute…

These deficient practices had the potential to result in cross-contamination (unintentional transfer of bacteria/germs or other contaminants from one surface or substance to another) and foodborne illness (an infection or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract [including the stomach and intestines] caused by food or beverages that contain harmful bacteria/germs, chemicals, or other organisms) for 76 of 100 residents who receive food from the kitchen. Findings: a.

This deficient practice had the potential to result in unsafe medication administration or omission. Findings: A review of Resident 304's admission Record indicated the facility admitted the resident on 11/5/2023 with diagnoses including unilateral (one side) primary osteoarthritis (a degenerative disease that worsens over time, often resulting in chronic pain), right knee and urinary tract infection (UTI - an infection that affects part of the urinary tract-kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and the urethra). A review of Resident 304's Admission/readmission Data Tool, dated 11/5/2023, indicated the resident did not want to self-administer medications. A review of Resident 304's Minimum Data Set (MDS - a…

The deficient practice had the potential for repeated accidents and falls that could lead to fractures (a partial or complete break in bone) and even death. Findings: A review of Resident 46's admission Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 46 on 4/4/2019, and readmitted the resident on 3/6/2022, with diagnoses including hemiplegia (complete paralysis) and hemiparesis (partial weakness) following cerebral infarction (occurs as a result of disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood vessel that supply it), epilepsy (a common condition that affects the brain and causes frequent seizures), and narcolepsy (a sleep disorder that makes people very drowsy during the day).
