14167 LAKESHORE HEARTLAND 44A114 3025 FERNBROOK LANE NASHVILLE TN 37214 2010-06-23 441 D     9JGX11 Based on observation and interview the facility failed to handle clean linens so as to prevent the spread of infection. The findings included: Observation on June 23, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., in the facility laundry revealed one employee handling soiled linen then folding clean linen while wearing the same uniform. Further observation revealed no physical separation between the soiled linen side of the laundry area and the clean. Interview with the Environment Manager and the Administrator on June 23, at 11:00 a.m., confirmed the soiled linen must be processed separate from the clean linen to minimize aerosolization of waste products and staff handling soiled linen should remove outer uniform covering before handling clean linen. 2014-04-01
