Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement an effective infection
control program when 12 of 65 hand sanitizer dispensers tested were not dispensing alcohol-based hand
rub (ABHR-an alcohol-containing preparation [liquid, gel or foam] designed for application to the hands to
inactivate germs) when used. These failures had the potential for staff not performing hand hygiene and
could have caused cross contamination (accidental transfer of harmful bacteria, viruses or allergens from
one surface or person to another) spreading infections to residents and staff.During a concurrent
observation and interview on 2/11/26 at 10:49 a.m. with the Infection Preventionist (IP), 65 hand sanitizer
dispersers in the hallways and nurses' stations were tested for function. The dispensers in the following
areas did not dispense ABHR: Rooms 2, 6, 17, 20, 30, 39, 52, 54, 56, 61, next to the Station 3 shower
room and next to the maintenance office. The IP stated housekeeping was responsible for refilling or
replacing the ABHR dispensers. The IP stated it was important for the dispensers to work properly to
prevent spread of germs and infections to the residents and staff. The IP stated staff were expected to
perform hand hygiene going in and coming out of resident rooms, before and after wearing gloves, using
the restroom, eating and if the hands were soiled.During an interview on 2/11/26 at 12:46 p.m. with
Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) 1, LVN 1 stated she was aware there were hand sanitizer dispensers in
the facility that did not work, so she kept ABHR gel on her medication cart to clean her hands. During an
interview on 2/11/26 at 1:07 p.m. with Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 1, CNA 1 stated there were some
ABHR dispensers that did not work in the hallways. CNA 1 stated it was important to have access to ABHR
going in and out of the resident rooms to prevent spreading infection. CNA 1 stated when an ABHR
dispenser not working as she came out of the room she would have to go down the hall and find another
one to clean her hands.During an interview on 2/11/26 at 2:00 p.m. with CNA 2, CNA 2 stated ABHR stops
the spread of germs and illness. CNA 2 stated ABHR needed to be used going in and coming out of the
resident rooms, before and after resident care, before and after passing meal trays.During a concurrent
interview on 2/11/26 at 3:55 p.m. with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing
(ADON), the DON stated it was very important for the hand sanitizer dispensers to work properly to prevent
the spread of infection and for personal hygiene. The DON stated staff should perform hand hygiene when
they come on duty, before going home, in and out of resident rooms, between residents' care, after using
the bathroom and before and after meals. The ADON stated the facility was aware there were issues with
the sanitizer dispenser not working well and they would address the issue with the company who provides
them.During a review of the facility's policy and procedure (P&P) titled Handwashing/Hand Hygiene, dated
10/2023, the P&P indicated, . This facility considers hand hygiene the primary means to prevent the spread
of healthcare-associated infections. Hand hygiene products and supplies. are readily accessible and
convenient for staff use to encourage compliance with hand hygiene policies. Alcohol-based hand-rub
(ABHR) dispensers are placed in areas of high visibility. Hand hygiene is indicated. immediately before
touching a resident. after touching a resident . after touching a resident's environment. immediately after
glove removal.
