NA-H then started to pour Level of Harm - Minimal harm or and place various juices on the respective trays, including Resident R39's, which remained on the metallic rack. When potential for actual harm asked how they know which beverages or drinks to put on the room trays, NA-H stated they knew they knew their preferences adding aloud, I'm used to them, so I know exactly. NA-H then looked at Resident R39's meal tray, Residents Affected - Few however, did not move the napkin to read the entire menu slip. NA-H removed a Styrofoam cup from a sleeve and filled it with ice and water, then poured another cup full of milk. NA-H placed the milk on the nurses' station ledge and then removed another cup and poured it full of a dark red-colored drink. NA-H placed the ice water and red-colored drink on Resident R39's meal tray and started to push the metallic rack towards
the rooms. The surveyor asked NA-H about the poured milk which remained on the nurses' station ledge and NA-H stated, I skip it. NA-H left the milk on the ledge and then pushed the metallic rack to the resident' rooms which included Resident R39's room.
At 8:56 a.m., NA-H placed Resident R39's tray in his room on the bedside dresser. Resident R39 was not present in the room and NA-H stated, I just drop it here. NA-H was asked about the white-colored menu slip, dated 7/31/24, on
the tray which had three items, including milk, listed on it with a star (i.e., *) next to them. NA-H reviewed the menu slip and verified the section labeled, Beverage Pref:, was left blank but expressed the starred items were the major things that they like. NA-H verified they didn't serve Resident R39 any milk, despite it being starred on
the slip, and expressed they served him the cranberry juice instead as, He [Resident R39] doesn't like milk. NA-H reiterated, I'm used to them [residents] so I know. NA-H verified they had not asked or questioned Resident R39 on what drinks he wanted with the breakfast meal that day. NA-H stated Resident R39 would once in awhile complain about the drinks on his meal tray but they (NA-H) attributed such to just him changing his mind at times. Further, NA-H stated the kitchen staff made and sent-up the white-colored menu slips for each meal.
When interviewed on 7/31/24 at 1:06 p.m., RN-E stated they believed the starred items on the menu slips were what they prefer but added, I could be wrong though. RN-E stated the staff were told to review the menu slips and ensure the diet served matches the diet listed but also staff were told to get to know your residents and what they like and don't like. RN-E stated the kitchen or dietary department had never, to their recall, explained to inform the staff what the starred items actually meant.
On 7/31/24 at 1:27 p.m., the kitchen supervisor (KS) was interviewed. KS explained the white-colored menu slips were made in the kitchen for each meal and sent up with the trays to the units adding the starred drink items were a preference, a beverage preference. KS stated the kitchen sends up the drinks and beverages to the units and the CNAs take it from there to pass them out. KS stated the starred items didn't necessarily mean they should be passed at each meal but verified the NA should be asking the resident which drinks or beverages they wanted for each meal. KS stated this was important to do for customer service and to ensure
the resident is getting what they're wanting.
A facility policy on resident drink preferences with meals was requested, however, none was received.

These findings have potential for a cumulative effect and, as a result, have potential to affect all 228 residents, staff and visitors within the care center.
Findings include:
Laundry Room:
On 7/30/24 at 8:21 a.m., a tour of the campus main washroom was completed with laundry aide (LA)-A present. The washroom consisted of a large single space with commercial washing machines on one side, and three [NAME] commercial dryers on the opposite. In the center of the room, positioned outside the dryers (direction they open to), were a series of tables pushed together with multiple, white-colored linens stacked on them to form a large pile. The wall surrounding the table had various mobile racks with various clothing items placed on them. However, attached to the wall were multiple AirKing bladed fans and the grates covering the blades of the fans had significant, copious gray and black-colored dust build-up present and were facing the cleaned linen stacked on the tables. In addition, a large [NAME] Mobile Air Conditioner was on the floor and also facing the tables of stack linen. The machine was activated and moving air towards
the clean linen, however, the grate covering the blades of the unit also had significant, dark gray-colored dust and debris build-up present.
LA-A verified the condition of the grates and stated maintenance was supposed to be cleaning them to their knowledge, however, it had been several weeks since they were last done to their recall. LA-A stated staff could, if needed, make a maintenance slip out to have them cleaned but they had not done so themselves as
they weren't exactly sure how to do it. At this time, the housekeeping supervisor (HS) entered the interview and expressed they had recently started working at the campus and were going to find out how the conditioner and fans were being cleaned. HS verified the devices were pointed at clean linen and soiled adding, They need to be cleaned. HS stated the fans and conditioner should be kept clean to reduce possible contamination of the clean linens. The district manager of environmental services (DMES) entered
the interview and also verified the fan and conditioner grate' condition adding, We should take care of them. LA-A verified the fans were not on a routine cleaning schedule to their knowledge. DMES stated the maintenance personnel may be cleaning them or have more information.
On 7/30/24 at 3:47 p.m., the director of engineering (DOE) was interviewed. DOE verified they oversaw the maintenance department and expressed cleaning of the soiled devices observed in the washroom really would fall under my department. DOE stated the fan and conditioner grates were cleaned on a upon request basis but they were going to likely implement a monthly schedule moving forward. DOE verified nobody had asked or presented the soiled grates to their department prior to survey and stated they should be cleaned adding them having built-up dust and debris posed a fire safety hazard.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 33925 potential for actual harm Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure recommended pneumococcal Residents Affected - Few immunizations, as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), were offered and/or provided in a timely manner to reduce the risk of severe disease for 2 of 5 residents (Resident R158, Resident R17) reviewed for immunizations.
Findings include:
A CDC Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing for Adults feature, dated 3/2023, identified several tables with corresponding recommendations when to receive various versions (i.e., PPSV23, PCV13, PCV20) of the pneumococcal vaccine. The graph labeled, Adults 19-[AGE] years old with chronic health conditions ., identified persons who received only a PPSV23 had an option to either get a PCV15 or PCV20 a year after
the last PPSV23 dose. The conditions listed including alcoholism and cigarette smoking. Further, The graph labeled, Adults [at or older than] [AGE] years old, outlined persons with a complete series of pneumococcal vaccination (i.e., PCV13 at any age, PPSV23 at or above [AGE] years old) should have shared clinical decision-making between the resident and healthcare provider to determine if PCV20 was appropriate.
Resident R158's significant change Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE REDACTED], identified Resident R158 had intact cognition, demonstrated no delusional thinking, and had several medical conditions including chronic lung disease (i.e., asthma, COPD).
Resident R158's PointClickCare electronic medical record (EMR) immunization listing, printed 8/1/24, identified Resident R158 was [AGE] years old along with his respective immunization history. This identified Resident R158 received two doses of the PPSV23, with the last one being in 2010. The record lacked any other pneumococcal vaccinations being offered or received.
On 7/30/24 at 9:54 a.m., Resident R158 was interviewed and verified he was a current smoker. Resident R158 stated he admitted to the care center back in early 2024, and had not been asked about getting any of the other recommended pneumococcal vaccinations since he admitted adding, They never talked to me about it. Resident R158 stated he was open to more information on the vaccinations adding, I don't want to spread it to others.
Resident R158's medical record, including physician notes, was reviewed and lacked evidence any of the subsequent recommended pneumococcal vaccinations (i.e., PCV13 or PCV15/20) were discussed, offered or refused despite Resident R158 admitting to the care center months prior.
Resident R17's quarterly MDS, dated [DATE REDACTED], identified Resident R17 had intact cognition, demonstrated no delusional thinking, and had several medical conditions including heart failure and respiratory failure.
Resident R17's PointClickCare EMR immunization listing, printed 8/1/24, identified Resident R17 was [AGE] years old along with her respective immunization history. This identified Resident R17 had received both the PPSV23 and PCV13, with the last administration being recorded as 3/2019 (over five years prior). The record lacked any other pneumococcal vaccinations being offered or received.

F 0883 On 7/31/24 at 1:45 p.m., Resident R17 was interviewed and recalled getting some immunizations years prior for pneumonia. Resident R17 stated they had not been asked about getting the newer, recommended PCV15/20 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or vaccination though adding, I have not. Resident R17 stated had it been offered, they would have accepted it due to potential for actual harm having poor breathing adding, I would take it yesterday.
Residents Affected - Few Resident R17's medical record, including physician notes, was reviewed and lacked evidence any of the subsequent recommended pneumococcal vaccinations (i.e., PCV15/20) were discussed, offered or refused despite Resident R17 having known cardiac and respiratory impairment.
On 8/1/24 at 1:03 p.m., the assistant director of nursing (ADON) and regional nurse consultant (RNC) were interviewed. ADON explained themselves, along with RNC, were helping to manage and oversee the facility' infection control program since the previous infection preventionist (IP) had abruptly resigned a few months prior. ADON verified they had reviewed Resident R158 and Resident R17's respective medical records, and explained the PointClickCare information was the most current, including with data pulled from the MIIC (Minnesota Immunization Information Connection). ADON verified neither Resident R158 or Resident R17 had their respective, eligible doses offered or provided prior to the survey to their knowledge and expressed they had been, so far, unable to locate any documentation to demonstrate otherwise but would provide it, if located. ADON explained the previous IP apparently had been offering the vaccinations but not giving them. RNC stated, in hindsight, a quality assurance (QA) project should have likely been started for immunizations but had not been. RNC and ADON both verified they were going to review a 'whole house' audit now and get the immunizations offered, as needed, moving forward adding, It's in the process. ADON stated it was important to ensure vaccinations were offered and, if accepted, provided to promote resident' health adding, They have diagnoses that put them at risk.
The facility' policy on pneumococcal vaccinations was requested, however, was not received.

Resident R9 stated she was supposed to move back to her old room soon but was scared as she didn't believe that the bed bugs were gone.
During an interview and observation on 7/30/24 at 2:55 p.m., Resident R9 was found still residing in the new room she had been given the previous week. Resident R9 stated that the staff had moved her back to her old room yesterday. Resident R9 stated staff had assisted her to bed, given her one of her bags, and then left the room. Resident R9 stated she soon noticed these blackish-brown bugs everywhere on her bed and when she would touch them, blood would go everywhere. Resident R9 stated the bed bugs kept climbing onto her body, leaving her covered in blood. Resident R9 stated she was screaming for help and had her call light on, but she could not get out of bed by herself.
During an interview on 7/30/24 at 3:02 p.m., registered nurse (RN)-K, the nurse manager for the unit, stated that Resident R9's room had been found to have bed bugs last week after Resident R9 had visitors. RN-K stated she was unsure how the bed bugs were managed as this was completed by the director of engineering (DOE). RN-K stated that Resident R9 was moved out of the bed bug-infected room to a new one on 7/23/24 and moved back on 7/29/24.

Residents Affected - Some
During an interview on 7/31/24 at 1:03 p.m., maintenance staff (MS)-A stated he had dealt with the bed bug infestation in Resident R9's room. MS-A stated he had used an electric heating device that was manufactured to kill bed bugs and reached 130 degrees for three days. MS-A stated the facility does not normally call a pest control service until after the heat treatment has not worked. MS-A stated it was up to housekeeping to deep clean Resident R9's room, launder any loose linens, and check to ensure there were no more bed bugs before allowing the resident to re-enter the room. MS-A stated he had noticed a lot of stuff in Resident R9's room and the room looked like it needed to be cleaned to make the bed bug treatment more effective. MS-A stated he had noted the bags and boxes in Resident R9's room but did not think anyone had dealt with these items. MS-A stated he had checked one additional room for the spread of bed bugs, but this room did not share a wall and was separated by a hallway, a sitting area, and an elevator from Resident R9's original room. MS-A was asked to confirm that he had not inspected the room that shared a wall with Resident R9's room and he stated yes, he had only inspected the room that did not share a wall and was separated by a hallway, sitting area, and an elevator from Resident R9's original room.
During an interview on 7/31/24 at 1:34 p.m., the district manager for environmental services (DMES) stated
he would have expected edge to edge cleaning, including the bed frame, all linens, all personal laundry, and curtains. The DMES agreed if grime and build-up were found on the bed frame he questioned if edge-to-edge had taken place. The DMES stated he did not expect housekeeping staff to bag up or clean personal items such as bags or boxes that were left in the resident's room. The DMES stated his staff was not responsible for assessing if bed bugs were still present before Resident R9 moved back to her room.
During an interview on 7/31/24 at 1:29 p.m., the associate administrator (AA) stated he began assisting with Resident R9's bed bug issues this week but did not have knowledge of how it was handled the previous week. The AA stated he had been involved in moving Resident R9 back to her original room on 7/29/24. The AA stated it should have been maintenance who assessed for bed bugs before Resident R9 moved back to her room. The AA stated he had identified bed bugs on her bed after she had called facility staff into her room on 7/29/24. The AA stated that RN-K and he had decided Resident R9 needed to be again removed from that room and they now had a pest control company on their way to assess the room before Resident R9 returned.
During an interview on 7/31/24 at 1:40 p.m., the DOE stated they had not previously had a pest control company out to inspect and give recommendations for the current bed bug infestation but one was here now.
The DOE stated he had started three months ago, and MS-A was helping to train him. The DOE stated that MS-A was the one who would know about how the bed bug infestation was managed. The DOE stated he did not have documentation showing any audits of other resident rooms on the unit or any documentation of
the treatment used to manage the bed bug infestation in Resident R9's original room.

The facility Bed Bug Protocol dated 3/14/24, indicated after staff were made aware of potential bed bugs, staff would attempt to capture the bug with scotch tape and then call maintenance to confirm the bug was a bed bug. Maintenance staff would then notify the supervisor of the presence of bed bugs. Staff would then bathe the resident and move them to a different room leaving all personal belongings behind. Maintenance staff would complete the heat treatment and then notify housekeeping so they could deep clean the room. Once the deep clean was completed, housekeeping would notify the administrator and the director of nursing that it was safe to move the resident back into their room.
