F 0838 Conduct and document a facility-wide assessment to determine what resources are necessary to care for residents competently during both day-to-day operations (including nights and weekends) and emergencies. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 41848
Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, clinical record review, and document review, the facility failed to ensure the Facility Assessment (FA) was accurate and included nicotine dependence and addiction with the facility's common diagnoses and conditions. This deficient practice had the potential to result in facility staff not receiving adequate training on the care of residents with nicotine dependence and addiction diagnoses and
the needs of those residents not being met.
Findings include:
During the entrance conference with the facility on 04/07/2025, a list of cigarette smokers (smokers) residing
in the facility and the FA was provided by the facility.
The list of smokers in the facility included six residents. Three residents were able to smoke unsupervised and three residents required supervision during the designated smoking times of every two hours between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM. The smoking location was designated as the smoke shack off the outside patio accessed through the facility dining room.
The facility document titled Facility Assessment, reviewed 01/15/2025, did not include nicotine abuse or addiction under the list of common diagnoses and listed the number of active or current substance abuse disorders among residents as zero.
On 04/10/2025 at 2:09 PM, the Director of Nursing (DON) verbalized the DON assisted with reviewing and completing the FA. The DON confirmed nicotine addiction was not identified on the FA as a diagnosis in the facility and the FA documented the number of residents with active or current substance use disorders was zero. The DON verbalized the DON did not consider nicotine addiction to be a substance use disorder. The DON confirmed six residents in the facility were current cigarette smokers.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention article titled Treatment of Substance Use Disorders, dated 04/25/2024, documented a substance use disorder was a treatable, chronic disease and could range in severity from moderate to severe. A substance use disorder could be applied to many types of drugs including tobacco (nicotine).
The facility document titled Facility Assessment Tool, undated, documented the FA would include the care required by the resident population considering the types of diseases and other pertinent facts present within
the population.

F 0867 Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm 41848
Residents Affected - Many Based on interview, clinical record review, and document review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Program identified areas of concern with the facility's Infection Prevention and Control Plan including concerns with pneumococcal immunizations and the immunization policy affecting 21 of 21 residents residing in the facility. This deficient practice had the potential to result in high-risk areas of concern and deficient infection control practices not being corrected and leading to infectious disease outbreaks and residents suffering severe illness or death from lack of vaccinations.
Findings include:
The facility document titled Infection Prevention and Control Annual Plan 2024/2025, documented a surveillance activity from the prior year was Prevention and Reduction of Pneumonia in long term care residents. The 2024 outcome of the surveillance activity was five residents had pneumonia in 2024. The effectiveness of the surveillance activity was documented as goal not met. The surveillance activity was not carried over to the 2024/2025 Infection Prevention Plan.
The facility policy titled Immunizations, revised 04/06/2012, documented all residents would be offered influenza or pneumococcal immunizations unless medically contraindicated. The facility would follow current CDC guidelines for immunization schedules. Influenza immunizations would be offered as soon as the vaccination was available in the fall and continued until March 31st yearly. Pneumococcal immunizations would be offered once before the age of 65 and once after the age of 65.
On 04/10/2025 at 9:43 AM, the Infection Preventionist (IP) verbalized the IP did present information during
the QAPI committee meetings, but did not review the vaccination status of the residents and the Infection Prevention and Control Annual Plan was not presented to the QAPI committee for review.
On 04/10/2025 at 4:11 PM, the Risk Manager verbalized the Infection Prevention Plan should have been reviewed by the QAPI committee and an unmet goal for a surveillance activity should have been reevaluated and carried over to the current plan. The Risk Manager confirmed the facility policy for Immunizations was not up to date or accurate and the facility was not vaccinating residents for pneumonia per current CDC guidelines.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm or 41848 potential for actual harm Based on observation, interview, clinical record review, and document review, the facility failed to ensure the Residents Affected - Few Infection Prevention and Control Plan included a method of ongoing surveillance of active infections in the facility. This deficient practice had the potential to result in a delay in recognition of infection outbreaks and reversible trends going unrecognized leading to missed opportunities for staff education and infection spreading among residents and staff in the facility.
Findings include:
On 04/10/2025 at 9:24 AM, the Infection Preventionist (IP) verbalized the IP would compile a spreadsheet at
the end of every month for residents in long term care with culture results and antibiotic orders. The IP was unable to provide an ongoing surveillance tool with locations of infections within the facility and verbalized
the IP did not have a tool to monitor trends including location of infections, staff providing care to infected residents, residents colonized with multi drug resistant organisms, or infections not requiring antibiotics. The IP verbalized the facility was small so the IP would know if there was a concern with multiple infections but was unable to provide documentation of infection surveillance.
The facility policy titled Surveillance Plan, revised 10/06/2024, documented the plan would assess the magnitude of healthcare associated infections within the facility, recognition of trends in infections rates, antimicrobial resistance, and healthcare associated pathogens.

F 0883 On 04/10/2025 at 9:38 AM, the IP verbalized the immunization program for residents was the responsibility of the IP. The IP confirmed the IP was responsible for providing the orientation and training to facility staff on Level of Harm - Minimal harm or the immunization program. The IP verbalized the facility was following CDC guidelines. The IP verbalized the potential for actual harm IP's understanding of pneumococcal vaccines was for a resident to receive one vaccine before age 65 and one vaccine after age 65. The IP confirmed the IP was unaware of the most current CDC schedule for Residents Affected - Many pneumococcal immunizations. The IP confirmed residents in the facility had only received either the PPSV23 or PCV-13 vaccine. When shown the current CDC complete pneumococcal vaccine schedule for adults the IP confirmed PPSV23 and PCV-13 did not complete a pneumococcal vaccine series. The IP confirmed the facility had not administered the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine to protect against 20 strains of the bacteria streptococcus pneumoniae (PCV20), the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine to protect against 21 strains of the bacteria streptococcus pneumoniae (PCV21), or the 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15).
The facility document titled Infection Prevention and Control Annual Plan 2024/2025, documented a surveillance activity from the prior year was Prevention and Reduction of Pneumonia in long term care residents. The 2024 outcome of the surveillance activity was five residents had pneumonia in 2024. The effectiveness of the surveillance activity was documented as goal not met. The surveillance activity was not carried over to the 2024/2025 Infection Prevention Plan.
On 04/10/2025 at 4:11 PM, the Risk Manager verbalized the Infection Prevention Plan should have been reviewed with the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement committee and an unmet goal for a surveillance activity should have been reevaluated and carried over to the current plan. The Risk Manager confirmed the facility policy for Immunizations was not up to date or accurate and the facility was not vaccinating residents for pneumonia per current CDC guidelines.
The CDC guideline titled Pneumococcal Vaccine Timing for Adults, dated 10/2024, documented adults [AGE] years or older had the following options to complete a pneumococcal vaccine schedule:
- Those with no prior vaccine had the option to receive either the PCV20 or PCV21 or the option to receive
the PCV15 and then the PPSV23 a year later.
- Those who received the PPSV23 at any age had the option to receive either the PCV20 or PCV21 at least one year later or the option to receive the PCV15 at least one year later.
- Those who received the PCV13 at any age would receive the PCV20 or PCV21 at least one year later.
- Those that received the PCV13 at any age and the PPSV23 after [AGE] years of age would receive the PCV20 or PCV21 after at least five years.
The schedule for adults 19 to [AGE] years old with chronic health conditions included offering those with no prior vaccines either the option of receiving the PCV20 or PCV21 or the option of receiving the PCV15 and then the PPSV23 after one year.
The facility policy titled Immunizations, revised 04/06/2012, documented all residents would be offered influenza or pneumococcal immunizations unless medically contraindicated. The facility would follow current CDC guidelines for immunization schedules. Influenza immunizations would be offered as soon as the vaccination was available in the fall and continued until March 31st yearly. Pneumococcal immunizations would be offered once before the age of 65 and once after the age of 65.
