Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary,
and comfortable environment for residents for 1 of 4 halls (Hall 100) observed for environment, in that:
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to ensure potential hazards were locked up in Hall 100
This deficient practice could place residents at risk of a diminished quality of life due to an unsafe
environment.
The findings were:
Observation on 07/30/23 at 12:27 p.m. on Hall 100 revealed a container of Sani-Cloth, purple top (a
germicidal wipe) in an open alcove. The container had physical and chemical hazard and precautionary
statements., such as causes substantial but temporary eye damage. Call poison center or doctor for
treatment advice. Further observation revealed several unnamed residents were seen in the hall.
During an interview on 07/30/2023 at 12:33 p.m. with RN A, she confirmed the container of Sani-Cloth was
in the open and it contained wipes. She also confirmed there were multiple residents with dementia able to
transfer, ambulate or propel themselves on hall 100. She confirmed the wipes could be a hazard if handled
improperly. She revealed the containers were usually kept in the carts and under lock. RN A did not know
who had placed the Sani-Cloth container in the open alcove or when the wipes were left there.
During an interview on 08/02/2023 at 12:41 p.m. with the DON, she revealed the Sani-Cloth constrainers
are supposed to be kept out of reach of the residents. She confirmed that for a resident with dementia they
could constitute a hazard and place them at risk for injury. She confirmed the staff was trained in the
handling of hazardous products. She revealed the staff, including managerial staff, did rounds to ensure
safety.
Review of facility policy, titled Handling of needles, sharps containers, supplies and equipment, dated
5/30/2023, revealed All hazardous or dangerous supplies should be stored in supply closet, cabinet or in
other designated area that is not within reach of our residents, patients, or other visitors.
