F 0883 Develop and implement policies and procedures for flu and pneumonia vaccinations.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm or **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 49339 potential for actual harm Based on interview and document review, the facility failed to implement the current standards of Residents Affected - Few vaccinations regarding pneumonia for 1 of 5 residents (Resident R17) over [AGE] years old whose vaccinations histories were reviewed.
Findings include:
A CDC Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing for Adults feature, dated 3/15/2023, identified various tables when each (or all) of the pneumococcal vaccinations should be obtained. This identified when an adult over [AGE] years old had received the complete series (i.e., PPSV23 and PCV13; see below) then the patient and provider may choose to administer Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine (PCV20) for patients who had received Pneumococcal 13-valent Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) at any age and Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine 23 (PPSV23) at or after [AGE] years old.
Resident R17's facility Immunization Record, print date 6/13/24, indicated he was [AGE] years old. The record indicated he received PPSV23 on 1/31/2013 followed by the PCV-13 on 10/4/2016. The immunization record lacked evidence of other pneumococcal immunizations offered, refused, or completed.
Resident R17's Care Conference Form, dated 5/8/24, summarizes a quarterly care conference. The form has a section to address immunizations: Section H: Immunizations (i.e., pneumococcal, influenza, Covid series) was not completed. The section lacked evidence of completion.

DON indicated the nurse managers review and determine what immunizations residents need and they will work with their power of attorney (POA) or guardian if they are not able to make their own decisions. DON verified Resident R17's pneumococcal immunizations as listed above and would be eligible for the PCV20. DON stated she followed up with the nurse manager on the floor who has called Resident R17's guardian, received approval for administration of PCV20. DON verified Resident R17's guardian was updated regarding eligibility of immunization on 6/13/24, stated the nurse manager lost her list of who needs
it but did call now. DON indicated it is important to offer residents immunizations they are eligible for.

the pneumococcal vaccines to aid in the prevention of pneumococcal/pneumonia infections by following the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and/or the state Department of Health.

F 0921 Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 33925
Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview and document review, the facility failed to ensure closet doors in disrepair were reported and acted upon in a timely manner to promote a safe, homelike environment for 1 of 1 resident (Resident R92) reviewed whose closet door was broken with exposed nails present.
Findings include:
A Vulnerable Adult Maltreatment Report, dated 7/2023, identified a general concern about the care center which included, . [it] needs major repairs and there are multiple things that are broken.
Resident R92's quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS)assessment, dated 3/21/24, identified Resident R92 had intact cognition and demonstrated no delusional thinking.
On 6/10/24 at 1:46 p.m., Resident R92 was observed lying in bed while in his room. The room had an off-white colored closet with double doors which opened towards the foot of Resident R92's bed. However, the closet door was in disrepair with the door and attached frame being pulled away from the wall several inches exposing multiple construction nails with the bevel-end open to the outside (i.e., room). The door was loose to touch and the closet' interior was visible through the exposed gap between the frame and wall. The closet had visible clothing and CPAP (low pressure air machine used to help breathing) supplies inside. Resident R92 was interviewed and stated the closet was broken and had been for a couple weeks. Resident R92 stated he had asked staff to complete a 'work-order' for it to get it fixed, however, no action had been taken on it yet. Resident R92 stated, I don't think anybody put in a work order [despite being asked]. Resident R92 stated he wanted it fixed and was fearful the door would eventually fall off and onto his bed with him in it.
Two days later, on 6/12/24 at 9:02 a.m., the closet door was again observed and remain in disrepair with exposed nails. When interviewed on 6/12/24 at 9:41 a.m., nursing assistant (NA)-D stated Resident R92 needed 100% total help with cares and was mostly bed-bound. NA-D observed Resident R92's closet door and stated aloud, It's coming apart! NA-D stated they were unaware the closet was in disrepair and attempted to move the closet door when it then fell completely off the wall. NA-D stated, It came out. Resident R92 was present in his bed and again reiterated it had been in such condition for sure, over a week now. NA-D stated they were unsure if maintenance was aware of it or not and expressed they would get it entered in TELS [software] right away to be addressed.
On 6/12/24 at 12:33 p.m., the director of maintenance (DOM) was interviewed. DOM explained if staff notice items in disrepair then a TELS work-order should be place so the maintenance staff can be updated about it. DOM stated they had just been made aware of Resident R92's closet door being in disrepair (during the survey) as nobody put it on there [TELS]. DOM verified none of the staff had completed a TELS and, as a result, nobody from maintenance was aware it was in disrepair adding the closet door was pulled from the frame itself and needed multiple staff members to help repair it just prior. DOM stated Resident R92 was mostly bed-bound so it was likely someone else, likely staff, who broke the door adding, It had to be somebody with quite some force. DOM reiterated it should have been reported to them for repair adding, I don't know how somebody [would] not notice that. DOM added, It could fall on somebody, and, It's a safety thing.
