Williamsville Suburban: ADL Care Failures - NY
The violation, cited under infection control standards, was classified as having minimal harm or potential for actual harm and affected a small number of residents.
Inspectors documented that dirty and clean materials were being handled without the basic protective steps that the facility's own nursing staff described as standard practice. A nursing assistant told inspectors that gloves should be changed and hands washed or sanitized after performing fecal incontinence care, and that dirty and clean materials should not mix.
Licensed Practical Nurse #3 was direct about what the lapse meant. She told inspectors that gloves should be removed and hands washed as soon as possible after completing fecal incontinence care, specifically to prevent the spread of infection and cross-contamination.
The Director of Nursing, interviewed the same afternoon, said the facility expects staff to follow enhanced barrier precautions and wear appropriate personal protective equipment when providing care. She said gloves should be removed and hand hygiene performed between handling something dirty and then something clean.
Three separate staff members, including the facility's top nursing official, all described the same protocol. None disputed what should have happened. The inspection found it wasn't happening.
The gap between what staff said they know and what inspectors observed was the finding. Residents receiving incontinence care were exposed to the risk of fecal contamination spreading to other surfaces or other residents because the most basic step, removing a soiled glove before touching anything else, was skipped.
