Surveyor asked Resident R7 how she was able to attend her appointment on 03/10/25 if she did not have a wheelchair. Resident R7 stated staff borrowed Resident R43's w/c, as it is a bariatric w/c. Surveyor noted Resident R43 was currently on contact precautions related to a C. diff infection.
Surveyor immediately interviewed CNA I. CNA I stated, Ok, I had nothing to do with this. I helped [Resident R7] get ready for her appointment yesterday morning. I don't know why she doesn't have a w/c. I asked Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) and DON what I should do, and they told me to use [Resident R43's] w/c, as [Resident R7] needed a bariatric w/c. I knew [Resident R43] had C. Diff. They told me to clean the w/c before I used it. I was not going to be responsible for someone getting C. diff because I didn't clean the chair properly. I mean, I don't have time to be cleaning w/c's with bleach. I told them to clean it. NHA and [Nurse Manager (NM) BB] cleaned the w/c and brought it to [Resident R7's] hallway for me. When I got the w/c, I know they did not clean it with bleach because I could not smell bleach. I could smell the purple top wipes. I know what those smell like.
