1a. Water testing was not done to identify the presence of Legionella bacteria (can cause severe pneumonia [inflammation and fluid in the lungs]) in the building water system (cold and hot water distributed through the water pipes).
1b. Policies and Procedures (P&P) were not revised annually and updated as needed.
1c. Toilet plungers (used to free waste outlets of obstruction) located on the floor next to toilets in restroom of rooms 124, 130, 132, and 146.
1d. Four unlabeled urinals were in the restroom of rooms [ROOM NUMBERS].
1e. One House Keeping staff did not know the dwell time (the amount of time the disinfectant needed to sit
on the surface) of the [name of manufacturer] disinfectant.
2. Resident 83's used urinal with no lid cover was observed on the edge of his bedside table for approximately one hour.
3. Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) 1 was observed not wearing a gown while providing perianal hygiene care and brief change for Resident 24 who was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP, a set of infection control measures that use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and gown to reduce the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs, bacteria resistant to antibiotics).

Findings:
1a. During an interview on 1/14/25 at 3:45 p.m. with Maintenance (MAIN), MAIN stated he was unable to provide documentation for water testing to identify the presence of legionella bacteria for the following months of January 2024 through January 2025.

These findings resulted in staff ineffectively identifying the facility's procedure for reporting incidents of abuse and had the potential to compromise the safety of all residents, staff, and visitors.
Findings:
During an interview on 1/13/25 at 12:32 p.m. with Resident 23, Resident 23 stated he has heard staff members at night being verbally abusive to his roommate, and he reported it to staff. Resident 23 stated, nothing happened after he reported the incident.
During an interview on 1/14/25 at 1:47 a.m . with LVN 3, LVN 3 stated that if there was an abuse incident,
she would report it during the next shift to the Director of Nursing (DON) because she's night shift and she wouldn't want to wake the DON up.
During an interview on 1/14/25 at 1:48 a.m. with CNA 5, CNA 5 stated that if there was an abuse incident,
she would report it to the DON in the morning after her shift and that she wasn't sure if she had to fill out a specific report.
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/16/25 at 6:43 p.m. with the Director of Staff Development (DSD), LVN 3's Employee Files, [undated], was reviewed.

The DSD stated the abuse training consisted of staff taking a pretest, watching an abuse training video, then re-evaluating their learning with a post test .
During a concurrent interview and record review on 1/16/25 at 6:44 p.m. with the DSD, CNA 6's Employee Files, [undated], was reviewed. The abuse training post-test was missing from CNA 6's employee files. The DSD confirmed there was no abuse training post-test in CNA 6's employee files .
