The state surveyors “determined that the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection control program for [one resident].” During an observation of the home, it was revealed that “the nurse failed to cleanse the site with an alcohol pad.” Additionally, the nurse “exited the room without performing hand hygiene.”
The surveyors interviewed the facility Director of Nursing who said that the “nursing staff is to follow standards of practice related to infection control and administration of injections.” The Director said that the “site is to be cleansed with alcohol [before] injection, and hand hygiene should be performed after the administration of an injection.”
The state surveyors “determined the facility failed to ensure a resident who was unable to carry Activities of Daily Living receives the necessary services to maintain personal hygiene/baths, toileting/incontinence care and attending to the resident’s personal needs.”
Documentation revealed that seven residents “did not receive at least two bath/showers a week per facility protocol and call bells were not answered at times for over an hour. Also, the resident complained of having to wait over an hour or several hours to be toileted or receive incontinence care.”
According to the surveyors, the facility “failed to ensure sufficient staffing to assure residents safety and attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and social well-being of each resident.” The state survey team reviewed the nursing facility’s Call Logs that showed weight times more than an hour for “response time to call lights. Also, review of the shower records revealed [forty-seven residents] went a week or more without receiving a shower.” It was also revealed that “the facility was not staffed sufficiently [to provide] care timely” to ensure the residents’ needs were met.
