Lafon Nursing Facility: Medical Records Breach - LA
Federal inspectors flagged the lapses during a December 22 complaint inspection at Lafon Nursing Facility of the Holy Family on Chef Menteur Highway. Enhanced barrier precautions exist for a reason: they signal that a resident carries an organism that can spread to others, and that anyone entering the room needs to take specific steps before touching the person or their care equipment.
Nobody had put up the signs. And when staff performed PEG tube care, which involves direct contact with an opening in a resident's abdomen, they did so without gowns. The same was true during transfers and repositioning.
The Director of Nursing confirmed both failures on the morning of the inspection. She acknowledged the signage should have been on the doors and that gowns were required for the tube care and the hands-on contact involved in moving and repositioning a resident under those precautions.
Inspectors classified the harm level as minimal or potential, and noted that few residents were affected. The deficiency was cited under F0880, the infection control tag.
What the record does not show is how long the signs had been absent, or how many times staff had entered those rooms and performed hands-on care without the protective equipment the precautions required.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
