body fluids, wash hands with either a non-antimicrobial or an antimicrobial soap and water.3. If hands are not visibly soiled, or after removing visible material with non-antimicrobial soap and water, decontaminate hands in the clinical situations described in 3.a-f The preferred method of hand decontamination is with an alcohol-based hand rub. Alternatively, hands may be washed with an antimicrobial soap and water.
Frequent use of alcohol-based hand rub immediately following handwashing with non-antimicrobial soap may increase the frequency of dermatitis. Perform hand hygiene:3.a. Before having direct contact with patients3.b. After contact with blood, body fluids or excretions, mucous membranes, non-intact skin, or wound dressings3.c. After contact with a patient's intact skin (e.g. when taking a pulse or blood pressure or lifting a patient)3.d. If hands are likely to move from a contaminated body site to a clean body site during patient care3.e. After contact with inanimate objects (including medical equipment) in the immediate vicinity of the patient3.f. After removing gloves.Wash hands with non-antimicrobial or antimicrobial soap and water if contact with spores (e.g. Clostridium difficile or Bacillus anthracis) is likely to have occurred. The physical action of washing and rinsing hands under such circumstances is recommended because alcohols, chlorhexidine, iodophors and other antiseptic agents have poor activity against spores.Additionally in the same article, the section titled Gloves stated:Wear gloves when it can be reasonably anticipated that contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials, mucous membranes, non-intact skin, or potentially contaminated intact skin (e.g. of a patient with incontinence of stool or urine) could occur.Wear gloves with fit and durability appropriate to the task.2.a. Wear disposable medical examination gloves for providing direct patient care.2.b. Wear disposable medical examination gloves or reusable utility gloves for cleaning the environment or medical equipment.2.c. Remove gloves after contact with a patient and/or the surrounding environment (including medical equipment) using a proper technique to prevent hand contamination. Do not wear the same pair of gloves for the care of more than one patient. Do not wash gloves for the purpose of reuse since this practice has been associated with the transmission of pathogens.2.d. Change gloves during patient care if the hands are likely to move from a contaminated body site (e.g. perineal area) to a clean body site (e.g. face).Review of an article titled, HIV and AIDS, dated [DATE REDACTED] and found at https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/hiv-aids documented In 2024, an estimated 630 000 people died from HIV-related causes and an estimated 1.3 million people acquired HIV.Review of an article titled, Why is hepatitis B so dangerous? dated [DATE REDACTED] and found at https://www.hepb.org/what-is-hepatitis-b/faqs/why-is-hepatitis-so-dangerous/ documented, Hepatitis B is dangerous because it is a silent infection, which means it can infect people without them knowing it. Most people who are infected with hepatitis B are unaware of their infection for many years and can unknowingly spread the virus to others through direct contact with their infected blood and sexually.Review of an article titled, Hepatitis B dated [DATE REDACTED] and found at https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/hepatitis-b documented, Hepatitis B can cause a chronic infection and puts people at high risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer.

member #2 said he messaged/sent pictures to the DON about the bed not working. He said he likes to have things in writing when it comes to the facility, so he has proof. He said this didn't start because his mom didn't want to lay down in her bed it was because they put her in a wheelchair that was to small and then sent her to dialysis. He said his mom has always slept in her recliner but now she stays mostly in her bed because of the wounds. V31 said Resident R2 didn't get the low air loss mattress until she came back from the hospital this last time. He said that is why she had to be moved to the (specific hall location). V31 said he isn't sure what day Resident R2 got the bed, but it didn't work. The hose that connected to the mattress would keep coming off and they used duct tape to try and keep it in place. V31 said they have changed Resident R2's pain medication also. He said she is in extreme pain due to (d/t) her wounds and so they started her on morphine and after the dressing changes is when she has the most pain.On 11/19/25 at 12:42 PM, This surveyor reviewed pictures provided by V9, Resident R2's family member #1 and they correspond with V31, Resident R2's family member #2, V7, LPN, and V8, CNA interviews that the hose that keeps the bed inflated comes disconnected and causes the mattress to lose air. On 12/04/25 at 2:45 PM, V2, DON stated Resident R2's old bed had an issue with the hose coming off. She said when she was made aware of the situation, she notified maintenance, and they were supposed to order a new part. V2 said they tried to order the part, and they couldn't get it, so they got Resident R2 a new bed. V2 said the maintenance man who was working at the facility at
the time is no longer with them, they had to let him go due to them having issues with him.On 12/23/25 at 10:20 AM, V1, Administrator said she would expect the maintenance department to keep equipment in good working condition. She said V48, Maintenance director is proactive about getting things done and looking for things to make sure they are working properly.On 12/01/25 at 10:38 AM, V13, Wound Nurse Practitioner (NP) she first seen Resident R2 back in August of this year and on the first visit she wrote an order for Resident R2 to get a low air loss mattress. She said sure it could be painful for Resident R2 if the air loss mattress wouldn't stay inflated and Resident R2 was laying on the hard bed. She said to be 100% truthful she isn't sure if Resident R2's wounds are pressure. She said her and her colleagues thought Resident R2 could possibly have what is called Calciphylaxis (a rare, serious disease. It involves a buildup of calcium in small blood vessels of fat tissues and skin.
Symptoms include blood clots, lumps under the skin and painful open sores called ulcers. If an ulcer becomes infected, it can be life-threatening.).On 12/02/25 at 2:10 PM, V13, Wound NP said she would expect the facility to implement the orders she gives and if a low loss air mattress isn't properly inflating it can cause issues by putting more pressure on Resident R2's wounds and it can cause her pain.The facility's Preventive Maintenance and Inspections policy, not dated, documented In order to provide a safe environment for residents, employes, and visitors, a preventative maintenance program has been implemented to promote the maintenance of fixtures and equipment in a state of good repair and condition.

Ensure nurse aides have the skills they need to care for residents, and give nurse aides education in dementia care and abuse prevention.
Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure nurse aides completed the required 12 hours of education per year.

V1 stated the CNA list has the original hire date and the date the new company took over on 11/1/25. On 12/2/25 at 1:43 PM Surveyor reviewed the CNA education hours with V1 Administrator and V2 DON (Director of Nursing). V1 and V2 both agreed V32, V33, V34, V35, V36, and V37 did not receive the 12 hours of required education in the past year. On 12/2/25 at 2:17 PM V1 Administrator stated she thinks the facility did do dementia training in February of 2025, but she cannot find the attendance records for it. Surveyor asked if the facility provides dementia training within 60 days of hire as documented in the facility Employee Education policy and V1 stated we are not doing that. The facility's Employee Education policy, dated 10/1/22, documented the facility shall provide a Staff Education Plan in accordance with State and Federal regulations. 1.
