10194 | ELLEN SAGAR NURSING HOME | 425012 | 1817 JONESVILLE HIGHWAY | UNION | SC | 29379 | 2010-09-15 | 441 | E | A4CW11 | On the days of the survey, based on observation and interview, the facility failed to sanitize residents' personal laundry. The findings included: During observation on 9/14/10 at approximately 1:36 PM, Laundry Aid #1 loaded multiple residents' personal laundry into the washer and set the cleaning solution pump on "F1." The sign posted on the wall stated F1 solution was without bleach. During an interview at that time, the laundry aid stated she always used setting 1 for residents' personal clothes so they wouldn't be damaged. At 1:46 PM, during an interview, the Area Mechanic stated the water in the washer was between 115 and 120 degrees. He further stated the water used to be at 180 degrees but, after changing chemicals, they had been told the water temperature didn't need to be that high. At approximately 3:08 PM on 9/14/10, the Director of Environmental Services confirmed that the F1 setting did not include bleach and stated the (solution) pump should have been set on the F2 setting which added bleach after five minutes. Review of the detergent container did not reveal that the detergent contained any sanitizer. The Director of Environmental Services did not provide any additional information that the detergent had any bateriocidal properties. | 2014-03-01 |
