- Failure to Provide a Safe Environment Free of the Spread of Infections:In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 07/07/2015, a complaint investigation was open against the facility noting a failure “to follow their policy for isolation precautions by placing a resident, not infected with Clostridium difficile (C-diff) in a room with a resident diagnosed with C-diff. These failures have the potential to affect one of five residents reviewed for infection control.” This is in response to a 5/2001 infection policy that follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that whenever possible “residents with (Clostridium difficile) (or suspected) infection will have a private room or share a room only was someone else who also has (Clostridium difficile).”In a different summary statement of deficiencies dated 11/20/2014 during an annual licensure and certification survey, it was noted that the facility “failed to follow its infection control policies and procedures. This failure has the potential to affect all 86 residents residing in the facility.” This is in response in part to an observation that the facility uses Neutral Floor Cleaner and every resident room and that it “does not kill Clostridium difficile (C-Diff) or Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).”Additionally, during a 11/19/14 incident, a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant “was providing occupational therapy to [a resident in their] room. [The certified occupational therapist assistant] was sitting in a chair in [the resident’s] room providing direct care therapy services to [the resident] with no personal protective equipment (PPE) on.”
