4 findingsBased on a review of facility policy, facility and clinical records, observations, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to adhere to proper infection control practices related to a gastrointestinal outbreak for four of four resident care units observed (A, B, C, and D Units).Findings include: Facility policy Infection Control - Plan Overview dated 12/23/25, revealed the primary of the MANOR's Infection Control Plan is to establish guidelines to follow in preventing, identifying, reporting, investigation, and controlling the spread of contagious, infectious or communicable diseases. The major activities of the plan are: Surveillance of infections - An on-going surveillance and monitoring for infections among residents and personnel and subsequent documentation of infections that occur. Implementation of control measures - Prevention of spread of infections is accomplished through the use of Standard Precautions and other barriers, appropriate treatment and follow-up, and employee work restrictions for illness. Prevention of Infection - Staff and resident education is done to focus on risk of infection and practices to decrease this risk. Policies, procedures and aseptic practices are followed by personnel in performing procedures and in disinfection of equipment. Immunizations are offered as appropriate to residents and staff to decrease the incidence of preventable infectious diseases. Facility policy Standard Precautions - Transmission Based Precautions General Principles dated 12/23/25, revealed it is the policy of this facility to use Transmission Based Precautions (TBP) in addition to Standard Precautions for a resident with documented or suspected infection or colonization with highly transmissible epidemiologically important pathogens for which additional precautions are necessary. When TBP isolation is necessary, the signage can posted on the resident's door for visitors to see the nurse before entering. Initiating TBP - Should there be reason to believe that a resident has an infection or communicable disease requiring TBP isolation, the Nurse will notify the resident's attending physician for appropriate instructions i.e., TBP for a specific type of isolation. The Nurse will enter the physician's order in the medical record. The physician's orders must be carried out quickly as practicable. The failure of the attending physician, or his/her alternate, to take appropriate action concerning a suspected or confined infectious or contagious disease, will be promptly reported to the Administrator. In the event the attending physician fails to take appropriate actions, the Administrator, Director of Nursing and/or the Infection Preventionist Nurse will have the authority to implement TBP isolation. TBP isolation will remain in effect until discontinued by the attending physician. Orders for discontinuing TBP isolation will be recorded in the medical record. Orders must be signed and dated by the attending physician. When TBP isolation is implemented, the Nurse will notify the dietary, housekeeping and laundry department supervisors that TBP isolation has been implemented. Set up isolation with supplies available to staff in an efficient manner. Post the TBP isolation sign on the outside doorframe so all personnel will be aware that TBPs isolation have been implemented. Make sure that a receptacle is placed in the room and lined with a plastic liner. Make sure laundry placed in the laundry room is properly marked to alert of TBP. After the disease signs and symptoms have resolved with physician order, the precautions may be discontinued. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE - gloves, masks, gowns ) - PPE should be readily available near the entrance to the resident's room. Resident Transport - Limit transport and movement of residents outside of the room for essential purposes only. If transport or movement is necessary, minimize dispersal of droplets by masking the resident if possible. Facility provided infection control documentation revealed nine residents (Residents R61, R39, R16, R55, R51, R106, R24, R36, and R22) on 3/24/26, with a gastrointestinal illness with loose stools, nausea and vomiting on the D unit. Nine residents (Residents R109, R111, R59, R82, R41, R47, R23, R33, and R9) on A, B, C, and D units with similar symptoms of loose stool, nausea and/or vomiting were subsequently noted 3/26/26, through 3/30/26. Review of clinical records for residents involved in the gastrointestinal outbreak revealed a lack of evidence that transmission-based precautions were implemented to prevent the spread of the gastrointestinal illness. Review of clinical records for Resident R9 indicated on 3/29/26 that he/she continued with foul loose stools. Stool was be obtained and evaluated for C. diff (a bacteria that causes severe, watery diarrhea and abdominal pain). Observations of Resident R9 revealed no transmission-based precautions related to a gastrointestinal illness were maintained during days of observations 3/30/26, 3/31/26, and 4/01/26. During an interview with Resident R33 on 3/30/26, at 1:45 p.m. he/she was observed resting in bed with a ginger ale and saltine crackers on the bedside table. Resident R33 stated, I threw up a couple times and just feel awful. No transmission-based precautions were maintained during the interview/observation. Interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Employee E3 on the C unit on 3/30/26, at approximately 2:45 p.m. revealed that he/she was leaving work due to feeling nauseous. LPN Employee E3 further indicated that the unit had several residents not feeling well with a gastrointestinal illness. Interview with LPN Employee E1 on the C unit on 3/31/26, at 4:30 p.m. revealed no knowledge or Nurse/Nurse report of any residents on C unit with a gastrointestinal illness. Interview on 4/01/26, at 1:50 p.m. the Infection Control Registered Nurse (RN) confirmed that the facility was not following proper infection control practices and failed to recognize that further residents who were symptomatic with loose stools, nausea and/or vomiting and failed to implement transmission based precautions to mitigate the gastrointestinal illness from spreading throughout A, B, C and D units. Interview on 4/01/26, at 2:40 p.m. the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) confirmed that the facility lacked evidence of surveillance and implementation of infection control measures to prevent the spread of further gastrointestinal illness throughout the facility from A unit to further residents on A, B, C, and D units. 28 Pa.

The policy further indicated the nasal cannula [NC-a flexible tube to deliver oxygen placed in the nose] should be replaced on a weekly basis along with all oxygen disposables the resident uses. Disposable supplies should be stored in supply bags to keep them from contamination from other surfaces such as the floor, other equipment. Resident R70's clinical record revealed Resident R70 was admitted on [DATE], with diagnoses of respiratory failure (a serious condition occurs when not enough oxygen passes from the lungs to the blood), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD - a lung condition caused by damage to the lungs and airways that restricts your breathing), asthma (a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation, narrowed airways and difficulty breathing), and lupus (a chronic disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues causing damage to organs). Resident R70's clinical record revealed a physician's order dated 3/04/26, Oxygen Maintenance: Change O2 [oxygen] tubing and supply bag weekly; wipe down concentrator (medical device that extracts oxygen from ambient air and delivers a concentrated oxygen supply to patients who need supplemental oxygen); clean filter weekly; and change water jug weekly. Directions indicated one time a day every Sunday. Resident R70's physician's orders dated 3/04/26, further indicated him/her to be on 1 liter per minute (LPM) via NC as needed to maintain oxygen levels at or greater than 90%.
