9563	HARPER MILLS	515086	100 HEARTLAND DRIVE	BECKLEY	WV	25801	2009-11-20	441	E	0	1	5V2011	Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to assure each staff member implemented practices to limit the potential spread of infections. A housekeeping aide did not utilize proper hand sanitization prior to completing ice pass. This practice had the potential to affect all residents who resided on B Hall. Facility census: 157. Findings include: a) At 3:40 p.m. on 11/18/09, a housekeeping aide (Employee #198) was observed passing ice on B Hall. Observation revealed she hugged a resident, then resumed passing ice without washing or otherwise sanitizing her hands. This information was immediately brought to the attention of the director of nursing (DON - Employee #165), who intervened and instructed the employee to throw out the ice, sanitize the ice chest and any affected water pitchers, then resume the ice pass with sanitized hands. Upon inquiry at 3:45 p.m. on 11/18/09, the DON confirmed the employee had not washed or hands or sanitized them by any other means.	2015-10-01
