SUMMARY STATEMENT OF DEFICIENCIES
During an observation and interview with RN C of a clean linen cart on Hallway A on 11/19/2025 at 12;19pm, there was an eyeglass case laying directly on top of a black zip-up jacket which was laying on top of the green mesh covering of the clean linen cart.
The wheeled cart contained folded linen sheets and briefs inside the mesh cover. RN C said those items should not have been there and that it was an infection control issue.
Interview with CNA B on 11/19/2025 at 1:55pm, she said she was one of the CNAs working on Hallway A but was not the person who put the jacket on the cart. CNA B said the jacket and eyeglass case should not have been there and that could be an infection control issue.
Personal items could be placed in a locker or purse.
Interview with CNA K on 11/19/2025 at 2:00pm, she said she was giving a resident a bed bath and then her sleeves of her jacket got wet, so she took it off and placed it along with her eyeglass case on the clean linen cart because she had to get back to the resident. CNA K apologized and said she shouldn't have done that and that it was an infection control issue. CNA K said she should have put it up somewhere else.
Interview with the ADON on 11/20/2025 at 1:39pm, he said he was also the Infection Preventionist at the facility.
The ADON said everything in the cart was for residents and that staff items like the jacket and eyeglass case should not have been on the cart.
The facility had halls with major infections and if those items came into contact with staff, infections could spread to residents and vice versa.
Interview with the Administrator on 11/20/2025 at 1:44pm, he said that the staff personal items should not have been on the cart. He said it would have been hard to say if the jacket would have caused an infection control issue. If the jacket was wet, then it might be an infection control issue, but he did not know the state of the jacket on the linen cart.Interview with the DON on 11/20/2025 at 3:01pm, she said the clothing items should not have been on the cart.
She was going to do another audit on CNA K and do some re-training.
The DON said a negative outcome of the clothing item on the clean linen cart could be infection control and that the facility needed to maintain their isolation protocol.
