Havens at Pensacola: Infection Control Failures Found - FL
The facility's own infection control policy, last revised in January, required staff to wear gowns and gloves during what it called "high contact resident care activities" for residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices such as urinary catheters. The policy listed changing briefs, device care, and wound care as examples of exactly when that gear had to go on. Signs were supposed to be posted outside those residents' rooms telling staff what protection was required. The equipment was supposed to be right there, within reach.
The wound care procedure the facility wrote for itself was specific to the point of numbering each step. Wash hands. Put on gloves. Remove the soiled dressing by pulling the glove over it. Wash hands again. Open the clean dressing. Wash hands a third time. Put on fresh gloves before touching the wound.
Inspectors found staff weren't following it.
The residents at the center of the findings were among the most vulnerable in the building: people with open wounds requiring dressings, or with catheters and other devices that create a direct path for infection into the body. Drug-resistant organisms spread through exactly the kind of contact those procedures were designed to interrupt.
The deficiency was cited at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting some residents. The facility's plan of correction was not included in the inspection materials reviewed.
The Havens at Pensacola sits on Summit Boulevard and is certified under Medicare and Medicaid. The inspection was completed June 3, 2026.

CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
