CNA C reported she informed R86 that if he let someone know, he could go outside. R86 went down the hallway in his wheelchair, waved to her, got into the elevator and went outside. CNA C was not sure if he signed himself out. CNA C reported she didn't think anything else about it. A little while later, CNA C went to R86's room and saw him outside from the 5th floor through the window in his room sitting in the courtyard. CNA C did not think it was a big deal until the nurse overheard that R86 was outside and called security. CNA C did not recall staff reporting R86 could not go outside and felt if they are capable to go outside they can. CNA C felt he was not in danger or incompetent.Review of a Nursing Progress Note dated 8/9/25 for R86 revealed: This nurse received a message on [Phone] from downstairs that pt (patient) was outside in the front of the facility.

Consent was given from pt to apply (wander device).In an interview on 5/12/26 at 2:47 PM, RN D stated that he was in another resident's room when he heard the Aides talking as they looked for a male resident (R86) who was outside. RN D explained that he remembered a similar previous incident, activated the elopement plan, and reported the incident to the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). He then checked the sign out log and confirmed that R86 had not signed out. Security located R86, brought him back to the 5th floor, and placed a wandering device on him. RN D stated he could not remember how R86 got down to the courtyard and did not recall receiving any notification from the Receptionist or Guest Services on the first floor. He also reported that he did not remember R86 being fully cognizant and stated that R86 should not have been outside alone.During an interview on 5/13/26 at 8:24 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) stated that staff transferred R86 to the 5th floor after he had been an inpatient on the 3rd floor. She explained that R86 was familiar with the facility because his wife visited him and they regularly went outside together. She acknowledged his cognitive impairment. She said the therapy department would assess any supervision needs, although nursing staff can also assess and implement measures. When asked if R86 was safe to go outside alone, she said the Therapy Staff would consider him unsafe to do so. She agreed that if the floor staff (CNA's) had known he needed supervision, they would have paid closer attention to prevent him from leaving the floor. She confirmed that R86's Care Plan did not include information telling CNA's that he needed supervision. She also stated that staff stationed near the elevators working are present only during the week. She clarified that when R86 left the floor on 8/9/25-a Saturday-staff were not monitoring the elevators.

She acknowledged the concern of allowing a resident with severe cognitive impairment, high fall risk, limited mobility, and limited speech to leave the unit and go outside unsupervised. She stated that R86 could be impulsive, especially when he wanted to do something. She added that he could be stubborn and strongly wanted to go to the coffee shop, as he routinely did with his wife when he was on another floor prior to admission to the 5th floor. SW E acknowledged that the residents on their unit differ significantly due to their short term stays and the potential for post hospitalization delirium too. When asked how this type of incident would be prevented in the future unless staff can access the care plan addressing cognitive status and supervision needs, SW E stated that they are now addressing this in their morning stand up meetings. When questioned about the lack of staff stationed near the elevators on the weekends, SW E said that was a good point. In an interview on 5/13/26 at 9:11 AM, Social Worker (SW) E reported R86 did have a low BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) upon admission and was deemed incompetent on 8/12/25. SW E reported that since this incident, they have the nurse and the CNA join the 11:00 AM morning huddles to ensure they are meeting all the residents needs. SW E understood the concern of a resident with severe cognitive impairment, a high fall risk with limited mobility and speech to leave the unit and go outside unsupervised and reported R86 could be impulsive especially when he wanted to do something. R86 could be stubborn and he really wanted to go to the coffee shop as he always did with his wife when he was on the other floor prior to admission to the 5th floor. SW E acknowledged the residents on their unit is much different due to their short term stays and even the potential for short term delirium post hospitalization. When asked how this would be prevented from happening again unless staff can access the care plan that would address their cognitive status and need for supervision, SW E reported she felt that is now being addressed in their stand-up meetings in the mornings.In an interview on 5/13/26 at 11:30 AM, Security Officer (SO) F reported he worked the day of 8/9/25 when he received a call for an elopement at 12:38 PM from the dispatch that the resident (R86) had been outside but no longer seen on the camera.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to have an active and ongoing plan for reducing the risk of Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens of premise plumbing (OPPP). This deficient practice has the increased potential to result in water borne pathogens to exist and spread in the facility's plumbing system and an increased risk of respiratory infection among any or all the residents in the facility. Findings include: During a tour of the facility, at 2:38 PM on 4/15/25, it was observed that the hopper in the walk-through Soiled Utility room, in the middle hall, was found with no handles on the faucet and minimal water in the basin of the bowl. This indicates the hopper had not been flushed in a while, once flushed, the basin water raised significantly.

In an interview on [DATE] at 3:19 PM, Registered Nurse (RN) I reported Resident #236 was very anxious, high wander risk and he had a Hugs tag on. RN I reported during shift change on [DATE], he had peeked in his room, he was lying in his bed, observed the hugs band on his right hand. RN I reported he had sent a message to the team the staff needed to check on him very often as he was ambulatory and anxious the previous day. RN I reported Resident #236 would get something in his mind and start walking and he was not using an ambulatory device, he could walk perfectly fine and walk quick, the main reason he was still here was a placement issue. RN I reported the facility was trying to keep him safe, as the day progressed he was fine most of the day but in the afternoon he was wandering around the floor, RN I reported he would do ,d+[DATE] minute checks and had the whole staff sent a message via the secured system and prompted staff if they see him to say Hi and redirect him, we needed an all team effort. In the afternoon, Resident #236 followed a visitor to the elevator and his Hugs tag alarmed, which indicated a staff assist was needed, it is a general alarm. RN I reported he was by the I room (nurse's station) and looked on the computer monitor to locate the resident. RN I reported the Hugs system program showed where his tag was going off at. RN I reported he was looking down the hallway and a family member was walking him back to the staff. RN I reported the staff were trying to redirect him as well as the family member, but he was anxious and ready to leave. RN I reported since he had gotten close to the elevator, he set off the alarm, and locked the elevator before he could get on it. RN I reported he remembered it happened twice on that shift. RN I reported once Resident #236 was redirected away, guided back to his room, within 5 minutes he was walking around the floor. During the rest of the shift, Resident #236 continued to wander, staff continued to supervise him, redirected him from other resident's rooms. RN I reported then when he came for his shift on Sunday, [DATE] at 07:00 AM the alarm was going off and he was wondering if Resident #236 was having behaviors already, but the night shift reported his alarm was dying and when the battery was dying or died it would set off the alarm. The alarm was alerting every few minutes. RN I reported Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) JJ had changed the Hugs tag out. RN I reported he had visibly seen the Hugs on Resident #236 on the same arm. RN I reported RN II verified he was in the system on the screen. Late morning/early afternoon, RN I reported he was out doing a medication pass and peeked in Resident #236's room, he was not there, and he texted out on the secure chat to see if the staff had seen him. RN I reported he immediately gathered the staff as no one had indicated they had seen him and they searched the floor, we unable to locate the resident, called 311 for security to report a resident may have left the floor and security asked if he was a short, balding man and when confirmed, security reported they had Resident #236 and staff went and recovered him. RN I reported the Hugs tag was not on Resident #236. RN I reported if you cut or loosen the Hugs tag, the whole alarm will go off, and he was not sure where it ended up at. RN I reported Resident #236 reported he cut the Hugs tag off. RN I reported Resident #236 was assessed, and he was alright. RN I reported the staff immediately put a new Hugs tag on Resident #236. RN I reported he realized the other one placed in the morning had not been activated. RN I reported we were sure to test it this time and it alarmed; the rest of the day did not set it off. RN I reported when a Hugs tag was placed it would show new baby in the system, then the staff have to enter the name and room in the system. RN I reported he maybe used the Hugs tag once every 6 months. RN I reported he had received education during orientation. In an interview on [DATE] 01:08 PM, Guest Services (GS) KK reported when a resident leaves the floor, try to get in the elevator with a HUGS band, the alarm is activated. GS KK pointed at a yellow light on the ceiling at the entry way, reported this would illuminate, security would be alerted and would be able to see the resident on the camera and intervene. Guest Services is also contacted by security as well to be alert to the resident coming down. If they make it down there, the GS staff would stop the residents and question them. In an interview on [DATE] at 09:57 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) JJ reported before shift change, the Hugs tag was alarming for a low battery, it was silenced and alarmed again. First shift went with me to Resident #236's room to change the bracelet. LPN JJ reported the process was to take the Hugs tag off the charger, test it, add it to the system, see New baby enter patient name and room, and walk in the room with RN I placed it on Resident #236's right wrist and cut off the old one, and then placed the used one on the charger. LPN JJ reported when queried if he had tested it, replied think we did. LPN JJ reported he did not enter Resident #236 into the computer system, LPN II had done that portion of the task. LPN JJ reported when the battery was charged, would pull off the charging dock and see a light indicated it was charged. LPN JJ reported when the Hugs tag was placed on a resident it would alert by beeping/chirping to show it was working. The nurse would make sure it was snug on the wrist, but ensure it would not rotate around the arm, or slip off. LPN JJ reported he had placed a Hugs tag on a previous resident and felt he knew the process. LPN JJ reported the monitoring system could show where a resident was on a map of the floor. LPN JJ reported there was an order to assess the bracelet/check the bracelet so many times each shift and that would be documented on the treatment administration record (TAR). In an interview on [DATE] at 11:15 AM, RN II reported the nurse texted Resident #236 had not been seen. RN II reported the Hugs tag he had on didn't do what it was supposed to do. RN II reported she was not sure if the battery was dead or something was malfunctioning but a new one was placed on him after he was brought back to the floor. RN 'II reported you would check it to see if it is working, assigned to a patient, when connect the band was connected on the disc it would make a chirp sound. RN II demonstrated to this writer on how to enter a resident into the monitoring system. RN II reported would go to the computer, bottom left corner Notifications it would show a New Baby it gives the number of the band and time, click on it and would enter the resident's information in the box, it would go to the top of the screen and show the name, room, unit, tag ID, location, and admitted . Then when discharging you would select the resident and box comes up and tells you if you discharge the resident (it shows the resident's name and the Hugs tag number), they would no longer be protected by the system, select OK to discharge. RN II reported the staff could also look at the map in the system and it would show the staff where the patient was on the map. RN II reported if the Hugs tag was working or charged it would send a red alert if a patient was close to the elevator door or actively on the elevator. It would ring over the overhead alert system. It would also alert to staff via the phones as well. RN II reported if the system was activated it would lock the doors and the elevators. It a resident attempted to cut off the band, it would set off an alarm in the system.

I messaged back and asked if the patient was an old, white, bald man wearing a t-shirt. After confirming, I let the 5th floor know that the patient had walked outside. Staff on the 5th floor asked me to go get him, but I am not trained in patient retrieval, nor can I leave the desk during my shift. At the same time the patient was now in the main lobby with a security officer while they were trying to figure out who he was and where he was supposed to be.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to: 1. Properly store food product to minimize contamination and maintain quality; 2. Follow manufactures directions for cold holding; 3. Ensure proper working order of the dish machine; and 4. Ensure proper cleaning and drying before stacking and storing pots and pans. These conditions resulted in an increased risk of contaminated foods and an increased risk of food borne illness that affected 37 residents who consume food from the kitchen. Findings Include: 1. During the initial tour of the main kitchen, at 10:05 AM on 11/30/21, it was observed that boxes of White Bread Dough, Wheat Bread Dough, and Pizza Crust Dough were found opened and not securely sealed in the freezer. During a follow up tour of the kitchen, at 9:10 AM on 12/1/21, it was observed that two 5 gallon containers of chicken noodle soup were found on the bottom shelf in the produce walk in cooler, uncovered. When asked if the items were cooling, Chef O stated, No, they should be covered, and proceeded to grab lids for the containers. During a follow up tour of the kitchen, at 2:50 PM on 12/1/21, it was observed that a sheet pan of meatballs were found sitting out uncovered in the produce walk in cooler. According to the 2013 FDA Food Code section 3-307.11 Miscellaneous Sources of Contamination. FOOD shall be protected from contamination that may result from a factor or source not specified under Subparts 3-301 -3-306. 2. During the initial tour of the kitchen, at 10:15 AM on 11/30/21, observation of the spice shelf area found an open container of Soy Sauce. The manufactures label states Refrigerate After Opening.

During the initial tour of the kitchen, at 10:22 AM on 11/30/21, a review of the Dishmachine Temperature Log, dated November 2021, found that some logged high rinse temperatures are lower than the180°F minimum requirement. At this time, an interview with Food Service Director H found the issue might have more to do with the employees pushing the dishes through the dish machine faster to get them done and not recording the proper temperature. During a follow up tour of the dish machine area, at 9:45 AM on 12/1/21, it was observed that the dish machines' minimum requirements (which are posted on the right side of the machine under the tray rack), state that the minimum temperatures for the wash cycle is 160°F and for the rinse cycle 180°F. A review of the facilities Dishmachine Temperature Log, dated November 2021, found that it stated the machine only needed 150°F for the wash cycle. When asked if he knew that the dish machines' minimum wash requirement was 160°F and not 150°F, Chef O was unaware of the temperature difference. Further review of the November 2021 logged temperatures for the dish machine found 15 logged wash temperatures less than the required 160°F, and 22 logged rinse temperatures less than the required 180°F.

F880F · No harm, potential for more than minimal, widespread

Based on interview and record review the facility failed to properly surveil infections and failed to follow standard guidelines for quarantine, during a pandemic. This deficient practice was noted during a focused infection control COVID-19 (an aggressive new highly contagious [MEDICAL CONDITION] disease) survey, and resulted in the potential for transmission of COVID-19 among all 32 vulnerable residents. Findings include: During a phone interview on 5/21/20 at 1:52 p.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed she was the Infection Preventionist for the facility. A review of the requested surveillance documents was conducted. The documents did not include cluster mapping of facility infections. The DON confirmed she did not conduct mapping of facility infections and stated, I do not do mapping on a physical map of the unit. It creates a challenge because we have so much turnover of residents. The DON said infections were recorded on the line list and if clusters were noted, caregivers were looked at. A review of the line lists for March, April and May 2020 was conducted. The line lists were in spreadsheet format, which were not legible for all columns, including the symptom resolve date column. Some residents were highlighted in yellow, and the DON confirmed those residents were sent out to the hospital, but no dates of transfers were noted on the line lists. The line lists did not delineate when signs and symptoms worsened to show timely transfers. The comment column information overarched the cell so as to be unreadable. The line lists also did not show the dates of any quarantine or transmission based precautions (TBP) initiated or discontinued, only what type of TBP. Of the 8 residents in quarantine in April 2020, only two were listed as in droplet/contact precautions. The other 6 were in standard precautions. Only one of the twenty listed residents in quarantine in May 2020 was in contact/droplet precautions. All others were in only standard precautions. The DON confirmed that residents were quarantined on the dedicated unit (as evidenced by the room number on the line list), and released from quarantine after seven days and two negative COVID-19 tests, even with symptoms. Since the line lists did not date symptom resolve or worsening, it was unknowable whether testing was done during or after symptom worsening or resolve. The line list also did not delineate whether any antibiotic use met standard criteria compliant with stewardship. The employee line lists for March, April and May 2020 were also reviewed and found to be absent any information regarding duration of symptoms or whether the employee returned to work following standards of practice. A follow up phone interview attempt was made on 5/22/20 at 8:05 a.m., but was unsuccessful. During a phone interview on 5/22/20 at 8:37 a.m., the Administrator (NHA) confirmed the DON was on vacation beginning that same morning. When explained the concerns over the line lists, the NHA said she would try to help decipher the concerns, and confirmed that residents were quarantined for only seven days, then tested twice and released from quarantine if the tests were negative. When asked if a resident could test negative at day seven, then still be positive with COVID-19, the NHA stated, I understand. They (residents) might test positive 4 days later. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/nursing-homes-responding.html, accessed 5/22/20, revealed, .Considerations for new admissions or readmissions to the facility . Create a plan for managing new admissions and readmissions whose COVID-19 status is unknown. Options include placement in a single room or in a separate observation area so the resident can be monitored for evidence of COVID-19. o All recommended COVID-19 PPE (personal protective equipment) should be worn during care of residents under observation, which includes use of an N95 or higher-level respirator (or facemask if a respirator is not available), eye protection (i.e., goggles or a disposable face shield that covers the front and sides of the face), gloves, and gown. o Testing residents upon admission could identify those who are infected but otherwise without symptoms and might help direct placement of asymptomatic (COVID-19) infected residents into the COVID-19 care unit. However, a single negative test upon admission does not mean that the resident was not exposed or will not become infected in the future. Newly admitted or readmitted residents should still be monitored for evidence of COVID-19 for 14 days after admission and cared for using all recommended COVID-19 PPE. Testing should not be required prior to transfer of a resident from an acute-care facility to a nursing home . The policy Infection: Prevention & Control, not dated, revealed, .Surveillance is a systematic method of collecting, consolidating, and analyzing data concerning a disease or event, followed by dissemination of the information with the goal of improving outcomes. Healthcare associated infection surveillance incorporated several approaches to minimize risks and control spread of infections .Antimicrobial Stewardship .interventions .meet the criteria for infection .Surveillance tracking includes validation of meeting the definition of infection .Infection trends or clusters are identified and investigated. One method to identify clusters is to track the types of infections on a floor plan. Place a check mark or circle in the room of each resident identified to have an infection for the month. Designate a different color for each type of infection .for room with multiple admissions in a month designate different admissions with infections by adding a symbol .determine any clustering . During the entrance conference on 5/21/20 at 10:00 a.m., the NHA confirmed there were no patients who tested positive for COVID-19 or were presumed positive. The NHA was asked if were any patients on Transmission-Based Precautions, or with respiratory symptoms. The NHA directed this Surveyor to speak with the DON. This Surveyor requested the infection surveillance materials, including line listings (infection tracking), mapping (visual representation of patients with infections), and the infection control policies during this interview. During an interview after the entrance conference on 5/21/20 at 10:24 a.m., the DON confirmed there were no patients with COVID-19, or presumed positive, and there were at least 16 residents on the isolation unit, on droplet and contact precautions. The DON added the patients were typically in isolation 14 days, but after 6 to 7 days we (the facility) do COVID tests 24 hours apart, then (with two negative tests) they (patients) move onto the 'non-isolation unit into another cohort (a group of patients who have similar infections or conditions)'. This Surveyor asked the DON to forward the surveillance documentation including the infection line listings and mapping (of facility infections) for the last three months, as well as a list of residents on transmission-based precautions, on the isolation unit. At 12:45 p.m., this Surveyor noted the Infection Surveillance documentation and policies had not been received, and let the NHA know the Survey team needed this documentation as soon as possible. During a follow-up interview on 5/21/20 at 1:30 p.m., the DON asked for further clarification regarding the infection tracking documentation needed, including clarification of the terms line listing and mapping. This Surveyor explained the line listing would include monthly infection tracking for staff and residents, and the mapping would include a visual representation of the resident infections (specifically respiratory) by room number. The DON acknowledged they (the facility) tracked infections however did not have any mapping of infections. The DON stated, I don't necessarily map per se. I look and see trends going on .I don't have a mapping. I look weekly .I map in my head but I don't have a hard copy . The DON was about the earlier comment about testing residents for COVID-19 on Transmission-based precautions, on day 6 to 7 (from admission). The DON confirmed some patients are removed from Transmission-based precautions and off the isolation halls prior to 14 days (from admission), with two negative COVID-19 tests.

Per the American Red Cross First Aid and Safety Handbook (2015), A person in [MEDICAL CONDITION] is unconscious, not breathing, and has no heartbeat. The Handbook revealed that a person in [MEDICAL CONDITION] will have the greatest chance of survival if there is: 1). Early access to the emergency medical services (EMS) system, 2). Early CPR, 3). Early defibrillation, and 4). Early advanced medical care. The Handbook also revealed that without early CPR and defibrillation, the chance for survival is greatly reduced. According to the Handbook, once you begin CPR, do not stop except in one of these situations .another trained responder or EMS personnel take over. Review of a Face Sheet for Resident #47 revealed she was a [AGE] year old female with pertinent [DIAGNOSES REDACTED]. Review of the Minimum Data Set ((MDS) dated [DATE] revealed Resident #47 had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15 indicating cognitively intact and was total dependent with the assist of 2 staff for transfers.

The video revealed on [DATE] at 5:37 a.m. RN F went to Resident #47 room with the computer on wheels (COW). At 5:38 a.m., Registered Nurse (RN) F came out of the room and walked to the end of the hall. At 5:40 a.m., RN F came back down the hall and Security officer M confirmed that RN F went into the Therapy gym. At 5:42 a.m., RN F was seen walking down to Resident #47's room with a red emergency supply cart and entered the room (5 minutes after she had first entered the room). At that time a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) walked out of the room next door and went next door to Resident #47's room. Then another CNA walked out of a neighboring room and went to Resident #47's room. Another nurse was visualized on the video standing at the end of the hall for a few seconds and then disappeared. At 5:44 a.m. more staff arrived to Resident #47's room with a crash cart that had a yellow cover over the top, the person pushing the cart had stopped in the doorway of the room but did not go in to the room with the cart. Security Officer M reported the staff pushing the yellow covered crash cart were from the 3rd or 4th floor. The crash cart with the yellow cover was then parked outside of the room along the wall in the hallway. At 5:48 a.m., a male staff member came down the hall and entered Resident #47's room and Security Officer M identified that the male staff member was a Respiratory Therapist. There was a CNA in the hall who took the crash cart parked in the hallway and started to roll it down towards the end of the hall. At 5:49 a.m. a staff member came out of Resident #47's room looking for the cart and ran down the hall to catch up with the CNA pushing the cart, grabbed supplies out of the cart and took them back to Resident #47's room.

When RN F approached Resident #47 she was not responding and had no respirations. RN F reported using her stethoscope to listen for a heartbeat on Resident #47's chest and found none. RN F then stated she did not know the code status of Resident #47, so she left the room to get the paper chart which was in the I room. The I room was a room down another hall where the nurses chart. RN F reported that after looking at Resident #47's chart, she noticed she was a Full Code and started walking back towards Resdient #47's and grabbed the red crash cart with the AED (Automated external defibrillator - portable device that checks the heart rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm) along the way. RN F reported she then applied the AED pads to Resident #47 and pushed the staff assist (not the code blue button directly beneath the staff assist button) button that alerted the security officers. RN F then reported that after she placed the AED pads on Resident #47, the AED was analyzing Resident #47. RN F reported she then called the security office using a portable phone to inform them of the Code Blue. RN F reported she saw RN I before the activating the Code Blue alarm and said to RN I, 'We have a code here, what do we do here?' RN F reported she did not push the staff assist alarm or the code blue alarm when she first noticed Resident #47 was unresponsive because she didn't want to interrupt other staff from working until she knew what the code status of Resident #47's was. RN F reported that the AED advised No shock so she started chest compressions. RN F reported she was doing chest compressions for about 5 minutes before staff from floors 3 and 4 arrived. RN F reported using both hands for compressions with Resident #47 in bed on a specialty mattress that was inflated with no backboard in place.
