Lafon Nursing Facility: Privacy Violation Cited - LA
Inspectors cited Lafon Nursing Facility of the Holy Family on Chef Menteur Highway on December 22, 2025, after finding the lapses during a complaint inspection. The facility's Director of Nursing confirmed both failures on the spot.
The resident was on enhanced barrier precautions, a protocol that requires staff to wear gowns before making physical contact, precisely because of the heightened infection risk those residents carry, or face. A gown should have been worn during PEG tube care, the Director of Nursing told inspectors, and again during the resident's transfer and repositioning. Neither time was one worn.
The missing door signage mattered too. Enhanced barrier precautions require posted notices outside a resident's room so that anyone entering knows what protective equipment to put on before crossing the threshold. The signs were not there.
The Director of Nursing confirmed that as well.
CMS rated the harm level as minimal, and inspectors noted only a few residents were affected. But the precautions exist because the consequences of skipping them are not minimal for the person in the bed, whose body may already be fighting something the staff member's unprotected hands or clothing could make worse.
The gowns were available. The signs could have been printed and taped to a door. Neither happened.
