She stated the unsecured bins on top of the two treatment carts could tip over and spill needles or contaminated liquids placing residents at risk of harm. An interview on 04/06/2023 at 8:43AM with LVN D revealed she was the nursing supervisor. She stated she was aware the sharps bin inserts did not fit in to the securing bin on the side of the treatment carts. She said it had been that way since December of 2022. She said the DON was made aware and was looking into getting bin inserts that fit into the securing bin on the side of the carts. She said the securing bin on the side of one cart was taped closed to prevent staff from putting used sharps in the bin when there was no plastic insert in the bin. She said the sharps bins need to be secured to ensure they do not spill causing a safety hazard. In an interview on 04/06/2023 at 8:53AM LVN E stated she was a charge nurse and usually worked on Nurse' Station Two.

She stated the clean linen closets should only contain clean linen. She said having equipment or anything else in the closets pose a risk of cross-contamination and infection to the residents. In interviews on 04/05/2023 at 2:30PM with CNAs H, I, and J they revealed they stored the mechanical lifts in the clean linen closets because there was nowhere else to store them. They said the Administrator did not want them stored in the halls. They all stated they did not always disinfect the lifts between use on residents or prior to placing them into the clean linen closets. They said they had been trained in infection control policy and knew this was a risk of spreading infection to residents but often get busy and forget. An interview on 04/05/2023 at 3:23PM with the ADON/IP revealed she had been made aware that staff were storing lifts in the clean linen closets. She stated staff had been in-serviced on infection control and sanitizing equipment but there was no guarantee that staff were sanitizing doing it.
