Good Samaritan Society Bloomfield: Daily Care Gaps - NE
Federal inspectors observed the director at 7:30 AM on November 24. Fifteen minutes later, when questioned about testing, the director confirmed she had not completed a COVID-19 test "and was not going to complete one."
The facility's own COVID-19 guidelines from October 2025 explicitly state that symptomatic employees must be restricted from the workplace until testing rules out infection. Yet a registered nurse told inspectors the facility "does not test staff or residents when presenting with respiratory symptoms or increased temperature."
Meanwhile, nursing staff repeatedly mishandled urinary catheters during patient transfers. Inspectors watched as staff placed a resident's catheter drainage bag directly on bed linens, then positioned it above the resident's head during a mechanical lift transfer.
The catheter bag remained elevated above the resident's bladder level throughout the transfer process. After moving the resident to a recliner, staff placed the drainage bag in a privacy bag and hung it on a dresser drawer, still below the bladder level.
A registered nurse confirmed to inspectors that staff should never place catheter bags directly on bed linens or position them above a resident's head or bladder level during transfers. The nurse also verified that staff must perform hand hygiene when removing soiled gloves before putting on clean ones.
The inspection violations affected multiple residents and represented what federal regulators classified as "minimal harm or potential for actual harm." The facility's infection control failures occurred at both the leadership and direct care levels, with the nursing director modeling policy violations while front-line staff compromised sterile procedures during intimate medical care.
