On 10/02/25 at 3:35PM, an interview was conducted with Staff H CNA.

Staff H was asked if she was working with someone on EBP and got feces on her gown would she get a new one? Staff H stated she would call for help to have someone bring a new gown for her.

When asked what would she do if no one was available.

Staff H stated she would make sure the resident was safe and then walk down the hall to get a new gown.

When asked if having the caddies on the door or between two rooms would be easier for her and her co-workers, she admitted that it would be easier to get a new gown if that were the case.

About This Inspection Report

Source: This inspection report was downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases nursing home inspection reports in bulk. The findings reflect what state surveyors documented in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies on the date of the inspection.

Plan of correction not included: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to their state survey agency and those responses may not appear in CMS public data at the time of release. The absence of a plan of correction in this report does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken by the facility are encouraged to contact the facility or their state survey agency directly.

Corrections may have been made: This report reflects conditions observed on the date of the survey. The facility may have implemented staffing changes, additional training, policy revisions, or other corrective actions since this report was issued. We publish what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
