Vivo Healthcare Gandy: Infection Control Failures - FL

Healthcare Facility
Vivo Healthcare Gandy
Tampa, FL  ·  2/5 stars

Federal inspectors cited Vivo Healthcare Gandy, a nursing home at 4610 S Manhattan Ave in Tampa, following a complaint inspection completed January 30, 2026. The deficiency affected many residents, according to the report.

The facility's compliance and ethics program policy, as inspectors found it, was a template that had never been completed. Where the name or title of the designated compliance contact should have appeared, the document still read "(insert job title)." Where a phone number or location should have directed someone with a concern, it read "(insert contact information, or location of contact information)." The policy also called for a hotline, an intranet application, or a drop box, listed as "(hotline number, intranet application, drop box, etc.)," with no indication any of those actually existed or where to find them.

The same policy required that locations for posted compliance information be specified. That field also remained blank.

The document described, in detail, the protections that would be afforded to anyone who came forward in good faith. It promised confidentiality. It promised no retaliation. It promised follow-up from the compliance contact. What it did not provide was any way to reach that person, because the person had never been named.

The policy further required that documentation of all reports be maintained for a minimum of three years by, again, "(insert job title)."

A compliance program is only as functional as the people and mechanisms it names. At Vivo Healthcare Gandy, as of January 30, those names were still blank.
