According to surveyors, the "facility failed to ensure staff uses proper hand hygiene that two meals served in the dining room on the secured unit."
The surveyors observed a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on unit three dining room who "did not use hand sanitizer or wash hands with soap and water when serving" meal trays. The same CNA "touched a milk carton door and did not use hand sanitizer or soap and water before removing the tray from the kitchen meal cart and setting up for a resident."
Subsequent observations were made of the CNA failing to follow the facility's policies on preventing the spread of infection and diseases throughout the nursing home. An interview with the Director of Nursing revealed that "staff should wash hands with soap and water before they start passing the meal trays and hand sanitizer before they start passing the meal trays and hand sanitizer between residents and trays."
