Williamsville Suburban: Infection Control Gaps - NY

Healthcare Facility
Williamsville Suburban, L L C
Williamsville, NY  ·  1/5 stars

Federal inspectors cited Williamsville Suburban, LLC following a December 22, 2025 complaint inspection, documenting that staff did not remove soiled gloves or perform hand hygiene between handling contaminated materials and clean ones during fecal incontinence care. The lapse created conditions for cross-contamination and the spread of infection among residents.

The failure was not a matter of disputed facts. When inspectors interviewed staff that same day, the answers were consistent and damning.

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 material should never mix. Licensed Practical Nurse #3, interviewed at 11:28 that morning, said 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 that afternoon, said staff are expected to follow enhanced barrier precautions and wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Gloves, the director said, should be removed and hand hygiene performed between handling something dirty and then something clean.

Everyone in the building knew the standard. The standard was not followed.

The citation was tagged at the lowest level of harm, meaning inspectors found minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with few residents affected. But the gap between what the facility's own leadership described as basic expectation and what inspectors found happening on the floor is the kind of gap that, in infection control, tends to close only after someone gets sick.
