Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary environment in an outside designated employee break area located on the facility grounds. During an observation on April 1, 2025, various plastic and paper products, a hairnet, wet pieces of cardboard, and several balled-up medical gloves were found discarded on the ground. Additionally, multiple cigarette butts were scattered around the perimeter, and there was a significant build-up of dead leaves. An overflowing garbage can containing a brief and a metal bucket with brown-colored water and discarded cigarette butts were also observed. These findings were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing on April 2, 2025.
