Hudson Hill Center: Infection Control Failures - NY
The facility's own Director of Nursing acknowledged the lapse directly to inspectors during a November 2025 complaint inspection. She confirmed the delay in treatment and the delay in implementing respiratory precautions, and she did not dispute that both should have happened immediately after the positive test result came back.
She went further. Even before a test result is in hand, she told inspectors, staff are expected to put on personal protective equipment the moment a resident shows signs of a respiratory illness — sniffling, coughing, anything suggesting infection. The protocol does not wait for confirmation. The nursing supervisor, she said, is responsible for making sure those steps are followed.
They were not followed here.
The inspection also found that the physician interaction and the facility's response to the positive influenza result had not been properly documented in a nursing progress note. The documentation gap compounded the care gap: there was no timely record of what was communicated, when, or what was done about it.
CMS rated the harm level as minimal, with few residents affected. That classification reflects the outcome inspectors could measure. It does not account for the residents who shared space with someone carrying influenza while staff moved through the unit without masks.
The Director of Nursing described the situation plainly. It was a delay in treatment. It was a delay in precautions. Both things were true at the same time, in the same building, while flu season was underway.
