Haralson Nsg & Rehab: Hazard Violations on 100 Hall - GA

Healthcare Facility
Haralson Nsg & Rehab Center
Bremen, GA  ·  1/5 stars

All of it was out in the open. All of it was in rooms where vulnerable residents lived.

The inspection, completed September 11, 2025, was a complaint survey. Inspectors documented the hazards across three of the 30 rooms on the hall, citing the facility for failing to keep the resident environment free from accident hazards.

The unit manager, a licensed practical nurse identified in the report as UM/LPN AA, confirmed during a walkthrough that afternoon that the razors were supposed to be stored on nursing carts or in the shower room, not on nightstands. She confirmed the alcohol wipes and aerosol sprays had no business being in residents' rooms either.

Then she described the oversight system that was supposed to prevent exactly this.

Nurses and CNAs were expected to round daily. Leadership conducted environmental rounds once a week. Each member of the administration had been assigned specific rooms to check and make sure hazardous products weren't present.

Three rooms. Three rooms with unsecured hazards. Found within an hour and twenty minutes of each other on a single morning walk.

The Director of Nursing, interviewed the following day, said that when prohibited items were found during rounds, residents were educated and the items removed. The Administrator confirmed the items should not have been in the rooms.

The facility's own policy, titled Hazardous Area, Devices, and Equipment, defines a hazard as anything in the environment with the potential to cause injury or illness. The policy specifically calls out sharp objects accessible to vulnerable residents and access to toxic chemicals as the kinds of hazards the Safety Committee is responsible for identifying and addressing.

A manual razor is a sharp object. An aerosol spray is a toxic chemical. Alcohol wipes, in sufficient quantity or in the wrong hands, are not benign.

The inspection report does not describe what conditions the residents in those three rooms were living with, whether they had dementia, whether they were at risk of self-harm, whether any of them had previously been found with items that shouldn't have been in their possession. The report notes only that the deficient practice had the potential to place residents at increased risk of exposure to harmful substances and items.

CMS rated the level of harm as minimal harm or potential for actual harm.

What the report does make clear is that the failure wasn't a gap in policy. The policy existed. The rounds existed, at least on paper. Daily checks by nurses and aides. Weekly checks by leadership. Individual room assignments for administrators. The infrastructure for catching exactly these items was described in detail by the unit manager and the Director of Nursing.

And still, on a September morning, a razor sat on a nightstand.

The facility has 115 beds and sits on Field Street in Bremen, a small city about fifty miles west of Atlanta in Haralson County.
