Williamsville Suburban: Waste Disposal Failures - NY
The violation centered on fecal incontinence care, one of the most direct routes for spreading infection inside a nursing facility. Inspectors found that staff were not removing dirty gloves and performing hand hygiene before touching clean materials, allowing contamination to move from one surface to the next.
The facility's own staff confirmed the lapse. A licensed practical nurse told inspectors that morning that gloves should come off and hands should be washed as soon as possible after fecal incontinence care, specifically to prevent cross contamination. Another staff member said dirty and clean materials should never mix.
The Director of Nursing told inspectors that afternoon that the expectation was clear: staff should follow enhanced barrier precautions, wear appropriate protective equipment, and perform hand hygiene between handling anything dirty and anything clean.
The expectation was clear. The practice was not matching it.
Inspectors cited the violation under F0880, which covers infection prevention and control. The level of harm was classified as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with a few residents affected.
For residents who cannot control their bowel function and depend entirely on staff to keep them clean and protected, the gap between what a Director of Nursing says she expects and what workers are actually doing in the room is not a paperwork problem. It is the difference between staying healthy and developing an infection that, for a frail elderly person, can become something far worse.
