Good Samaritan Bloomfield: Infection Control Gaps - NE

Healthcare Facility
Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield
Bloomfield, NE  ·  3/5 stars

That was not the only day short.

A review of nursing schedules from October 22 through November 5, 2025, found repeated gaps between the staffing levels the facility's own Director of Nursing said were required and the staffing levels that actually showed up. On the overnight shift of October 28, one CNA worked alone for eight hours when two were supposed to be scheduled. On November 2, a single CNA covered the facility from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., then handed off to one overnight aide — again, one where two were required.

On November 5, call lights went unanswered 14 times. The delays ran from 16 minutes to 40 minutes.

The Director of Nursing confirmed to inspectors on November 24 that the facility's own standard was a 15-minute response time. She confirmed that standard was not met.

She also confirmed, in a separate interview that same afternoon, each of the staffing shortfalls the schedules showed: four CNAs required on weekday day shifts, three on weekends, two to three in the afternoon, two overnight. The schedules showed something different on at least six shifts across a two-week window.

Inspectors classified the violation as having caused minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with some residents affected. The complaint inspection was completed November 24, 2025.

What the records don't show is who was pressing those call lights on November 5, or how long it felt to wait 40 minutes for someone to come.
