A registered nurse told inspectors that the facility does not test staff or residents when presenting with respiratory symptoms or increased temperature.

Inspectors also documented improper catheter handling that affected many residents. During a 9:49 AM observation, staff attached a resident to a mechanical lift with the catheter drainage bag removed from bed linens and placed above the resident's head. After transferring the resident to a recliner, staff hung the drainage bag next to the chair on a dresser drawer, below the level of the resident's bladder.

The registered nurse confirmed during an 11:00 AM interview that staff should not have placed the urinary catheter drainage bag directly on bed linens. The nurse also confirmed the drainage bag should not have been positioned above the resident's head and above bladder level during transfers.

Staff also failed to perform proper hand hygiene when removing soiled gloves and putting on clean ones, according to the registered nurse.

The inspection was conducted in response to complaints about the 50-bed facility operated by the Good Samaritan Society.
