180	ST. BARBARA'S MEMORIAL NURSING HOME	515012	PO BOX 9066	FAIRMONT	WV	26555	2019-07-10	880	F	0	1	5N8D11	Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. The laundry room lacked separation between the soiled and clean laundry/linen area and no identified negative air flow. In addition a cracked and worn computer mouse pad in use located on a medication cart. This has the potential to affect all residents in the facility. Facility census: 53. Findings included: a) Laundry Room On 07/09/19 at 8:30 AM during a tour of the laundry room in the presence of Employee #56 and #47, discovered no separation between the soiled and clean linen, also lacking identified negative air flow. The washers and dryers are located in the same room within close proximity. While standing in the middle of the room could feel air flow descending from ceiling. Employee #56 and #47 explained the laundry room has been like that except last year the facility made the room across the hall with the laundry chute the soiled room. Employee #56 explained the procedure for collecting the soiled linen. The soiled linen is retrieved from the cart under the laundry chute, sorted then covered with a sheet and transported across the hall to the laundry room to place in the washers. At 8:45 AM on 07/09/19, the Administrator and the Assistant Administrator #69 stated, We thought we had fixed the laundry issue when our plan of correction was accepted. We moved the soiled laundry to the other room and sort it there before taking it across the hall. I now understand what you are saying that it is still soiled linen coming into a clean room Upon inquiry about separation between soiled and clean linen with washers and dryers being in the same room, the Administrator stated, We will brainstorm how to separate the washers and dryers. Whether by putting up a wall with negative air flow. Maybe move the washers to the room with the laundry chute, but will need to put water and drains in a cement floor. The Assistant Administrator #69 stated, We will have a plan and figure it out how to correct this issue with the laundry. b) medication cart An observation during medication administration on the North West side on 07/09/19, revealed Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #76 utilizing a cracked and worn mouse pad with missing corners. During an interview on 07/09/19, LPN #76 acknowledged the mouse pad was a sanitation concern and needed to be replaced. She reported she would ask for a replacement immediately.	2020-09-01
