Resident care equipment was stored improperly in two (2) separate instances. Two (2) hoyer lift cloth slings were observed lying directly on an unclean surface, and a plastic cart used to store resident's personal care items inside its storage drawers, was observed under a sink resting directly on the floor. A breach in infection control principal and practices was also observed while staff was providing peri-care for Resident #57. These practices had the potential effect more than a limited number of residents in the facility. Resident identifier: #57. Facility census: 59 Findings include: a) Hoyer lift slings On Unit 1, during the initial tour on 10/31/16, hoyer lift cloth slings were observed hanging on hooks mounted to the wall beside the hoyer lifts. Each cloth sling was meant to be hung by the sling's strap and buckles on both sides of the sling, leaving the slings hanging half way down the wall. Two (2) hoyer lift cloth slings were observed with only one side of the slings hung on a hook. The two (2) slings hung by only one side, dangled all the way down the wall, leaving their other side's buckles, straps, and area of the cloth lying directly on the floor. On 10/31/16 at 11:40 a.m., Registered Nurse Unit 1 Manager (RN) #38, accompanied this surveyor and observed the two (2) hoyer lift cloth slings resting on the floor. RN #38 agreed this was an infection control issue, and the slings were not supposed to be on the floor. RN #38 stated, I will have them removed, and have to have them washed. b) Storage drawers On 11/02/16 at 11:05 a.m., a plastic cart, used to store resident's personal care items inside its storage drawers, was observed under a sink resting directly on the floor in Resident #57 room. An interview with Registered Nurse/Nurse Practice Educator/Infection Control (RN #29), on 11/02/16 at 11:18 a.m., verified the plastic cart with storage drawers should not be resting on the floor, and did not know why the wheels had been removed. RN #29 confirmed this was an infection control issue. c) Resident #57 (peri-care) Observation of Nurse Aide (NA) #50 providing peri-care to Resident #57, on 11/02/16 at 10:49 a.m., revealed a breach in infection control practice. During the provision of peri-care, NA #50 removed the soiled brief and placed it directly on the foot of bed without a barrier. An interview with RN #29, Nurse Practice Educator/ Infection Control, on 11/02/16 at 11:18 a.m., revealed RN #29 agreed a used soiled brief should never be placed directly on a resident's bed. RN #29 stated, The NA should not have placed a soil brief on the bed, it was a breach in infection control practice.	2019-11-01
