“Based on record review, documentation review, and interview, the manager failed to ensure that the health care institution established, documented, and implemented tuberculosis (TB) infection control activities that included annually providing training and education related to recognizing the signs and symptoms of TB to individuals employed by the health care institution, for four of five personnel reviewed, and annually assessing the health care institution's risk of exposure to infectious TB. The deficient practices posed a risk to the physical health and safety of the residents if the annual training had not been completed and if the annual facility risk assessment had not been completed. Findings include: 1. A review of E1's, E3's, E4's, and E5's personnel records revealed that documentation of training and education related to recognizing the signs and symptoms of TB was not available for review at the time of the inspection. 2. A review of facility documentation revealed there was no documentation of an annual facility risk assessment to determine the facility's risk of exposure to infectious TB. 3. In an interview, E2 reported that E2 was unaware of the requirement to have TB training related to recognizing the signs and symptoms of TB, as well as the need for an annual TB facility risk assessment. E2 reported E2 thought the "Appendix 3 - TB Screening and Risk Assessment" form was the only requirement. E2 acknowledged that training and education related to recognizing the signs and symptoms of TB for the aforementioned personnel had not been completed. E2 also acknowledged that the facility had not been conducting annual facility risk assessments to determine the facility's risk of exposure to infections TB.”

“Based on observation, documentation review, and interview, the manager failed to ensure that a rechargeable fire extinguisher was serviced at least once every 12 months. The deficient practice posed a risk if safety measures were not in place or properly working to protect residents in a fire.
