Good Samaritan Society: Abuse Reporting Failures - NE
Federal inspectors observed the director wearing a blue mask at 7:30 AM on November 24. During an interview 15 minutes later, the director confirmed she had not completed a COVID-19 test and was not going to complete one.
The facility's COVID-19 work guidelines, reviewed in October 2025, explicitly stated that symptomatic employees were to be restricted from the workplace until COVID-19 infection was ruled out by testing.
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.
