Williamsville Suburban: Blood-Stained Curtains Found - NY
Inspectors cited Williamsville Suburban, LLC under the infection control tag F0880, finding that workers failed to remove soiled gloves and wash their hands between dirty and clean tasks after providing fecal incontinence care to residents. The level of harm was classified as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with few residents affected.
The staff members inspectors interviewed knew exactly what they were supposed to do. They said gloves should be changed and hands washed or sanitized after fecal incontinence care. They said dirty and clean materials should not mix.
Licensed Practical Nurse #3 was just as clear. In an interview at 11:28 that morning, she said gloves should be removed and hands washed as soon as possible after completing fecal incontinence care to prevent the spread of infection and cross contamination.
The Director of Nursing said the same thing that afternoon. Staff are expected to follow enhanced barrier precautions and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, the director said. Gloves should come off, and hand hygiene should happen, between anything dirty and anything clean.
Everyone in the building appeared to understand the standard. The problem was that the standard was not being followed.
Fecal bacteria transferred on unwashed hands or unchanged gloves can move quickly through a nursing home population, particularly among residents who are already medically vulnerable. The gap between what staff told inspectors they knew and what inspectors observed them doing was the core of the citation.
The inspection was conducted in response to a complaint. It was the final finding on the last page of a 31-page report.
