Based on staff interviews, policy review, Centers for Disease Control guidelines, and documents reviewed for implementation of a water management program, it was determined the facility failed to implement their water management program for the prevention, detection, and control of water-borne contaminants, such as Legionella (a bacteria that may cause Legionnaires' Disease [a serious type of pneumonia]). Findings include: During an interview with Employee 1 (Maintenance Technician) on May 25, 2023, at 9:00 AM, Employee 1 indicated they were not aware of a water management program and that the facility was on township water and the township completes all required testing. They further indicated that the township does testing weekly and the facility receives an annual report of findings. Employee 1 also conveyed that the township water authority would notify facility and all community members utilizing the township water source of any identified water concerns. During a follow-up interview with Employee 1 on May 25, 2023, at 09:40 AM, Employee 1 indicated that, when they called the township water authority, they were told that they do not test for Legionella as they are not required and that the annual report is released in June every year. Therefore, the facility had no current report to provide. During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), Director of Nursing (DON), and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) on May 25, 2023,at approximately 9:45 AM, the above information was shared. Weekly township testing reports were requested as well as the facility water management policy/program. During a follow-up interview with the NHA, DON, and ADON on May 25, 2023, at approximately 12:35 PM, the NHA indicated that he had followed-up with the township regarding testing and that they, again, confirmed that they do not test for Legionella as they are not required to do so. He further indicated that they had looked for a policy and that the facility only has a very generic policy for water management. This policy was requested for review at that time. During an interview with Employee 1 and Employee 2 (Maintenance Director) on May 25, 2023, at approximately 12:50 PM, revealed that they had notified the company that maintains the campus swimming pool and they indicated that they could test for them, but the vendor did not really feel it was necessary as Legionella only grows in very hot water, and their hot water doesn't go above 110 degrees. Employee 1 and Employee 2 further shared that they have circulator pumps on their hot water that mixes the water constantly to prevent sitting water. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Building water systems and devices that might grow and spread Legionella include: showerheads and sink faucets; cooling towers (structures that contain water and a fan as part of centralized air cooling systems for buildings or industrial processes); hot tubs; decorative fountains and water features; hot water tanks and heaters; and large, complex plumbing systems. Review of facility policy, titled Legionella Water Management Program with a last revision date of July 2017 and a last review date of January 25, 2023, revealed the following information: 1. As part of the infection prevention and control program, our facility has a water management program, which is overseen by our water management team; 2. The water management team will consist of at least the following personnel: a. the infection preventionist; b. the administrator, c. the medical director (or designee); d. the director of maintenance; and e. the director of environmental services; 3. The purposes of the water management program are to identify areas in the water system where Legionella bacteria can grow and spread, and to reduce the risk of Legionnaire's disease; 5b. The identification of areas in water system that could encourage the growth and spread of Legionella or other waterborne, bacteria including storage tanks; water heaters; filters; aerators; showerheads and hoses; misters, atomizers, air washers, and humidifiers; hot tubs; fountains; and medical devices such as CPAP machines, hydrotherapy equipment, etc; and 5c. The identification of situations that can lead to Legionella growth such as: construction; water main breaks; changes in municipal water quality; the presence of biofilm, scale or sediment; water temperature fluctuations; water pressure changes; water stagnation; and inadequate disinfection; 5f. the control limits or parameters that are acceptable and that are monitored; 5g. a diagram of where control measures are applied; 5h. a system to monitor control limits and the effectiveness of control measures; 5i. A plan for when control limits are not met and/or control measures are not effective; 5j. documentation of the program; and 6. the water management program will be reviewed at least once a year. During a follow-up interview with the NHA on May 25, 2023, at approximately 1:10 PM, the NHA indicated that they have a water management team and that water management is part of the safety committee that meets monthly. Upon reviewing the monthly meeting minutes for February 2023 through April 2023 and the accompanying attendance sign-in sheets, it was noted that there was no discussion regarding water management and/or testing and that the NHA and the Medical Director (or designee) were not in attendance at these meetings as indicated in the facility policy.
