Inspectors wroteBased on facility record review, staff interview, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive water management program for the purpose of reducing the risk of growth and spread of Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens in the facility's water system for its current census of 116 residents. Residents of nursing homes who may suffer from a weakened immune system, chronic lung disease, or other underlying medical conditions such as immunosuppression, are at risk for Legionnaires' Disease (type of pneumonia) if exposed to Legionella bacteria. Facilities must be able to demonstrate their measures to minimize the risk of Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens in building water systems such as by having a documented water management program that must be based on nationally accepted standards. [...]
- E Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve food in accordance with professional standards.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. Proper sanitation is important in health care settings to prevent the outbreak of foodborne illness. Nursing home residents are at risk for serious complications from foodborne illness due to their already compromised health status, and standing water, biofilm, and pests such as gnats and roaches are sources of contamination.
- E Keep all essential equipment working safely.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to maintain kitchen equipment in safe operating condition. The kitchen's freezer door would not close properly, leaving the possibility open for potential thawing or partial thawing of frozen food items. This could result in the outbreak of foodborne illness affecting residents who receive food from the facility's kitchen.
- E Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, resident and staff interviews, facility pest control management documentation, and a review of the facility's policy and procedure, the facility failed to ensure that its pest control service was effective. Cockroaches were observed in four (Rooms 120, 118, 121, and 117) of 66 resident rooms (all on the South Unit), at one (South Unit) of two nurses' stations, and in the kitchen. An ineffective pest control program can result in the transmission of disease/infection.
- D Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that four (Residents #169, #93, #81 and #102) residents from a total survey sample of 32 residents, were provided a clean, comfortable, and homelike environment. Each resident was missing a pillowcase.
- D Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, staff interview, and facility policy and procedure review, the facility failed to maintain the physical environment in a sanitary and comfortable manner based on the following: holes in walls, missing base cove molding, and broken and missing closet door panels in four (Rooms 120, 118, 121, and 117) of 66 resident rooms, all of which were located on the South Unit of the facility. These concerns could negatively impact residents' enjoyment of their environment as well as their safety.

Inspectors wroteBased on staff interviews, resident and facility record reviews, and a review of the facility's policies titled Reporting Abuse to Facility Management (Revised February 2014), Elopements (revised February 2014), and the facility's Elopement Drill Process/Missing Resident Process, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from neglect, by failing to provide supervision and interventions to maintain resident safety, prevent elopement (a resident who is incapable of adequately protecting themself, who leaves the facility unsupervised and undetected), and minimize the risk of injury or death. This resulted in one (Resident #1) of three residents reviewed for elopement risk, departing the facility unescorted and remaining missing from the facility from 1:58 p.m. on 10/11/23 until approximately 4:00 a.m. [...]
