Vivo Healthcare Gandy: Infection Control Failures - FL
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.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. 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. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
Professional review: All content reviewed by Christopher F. Nesbitt, Sr., NH EMT & BU-trained Paralegal.
