Failure to Maintain Clean and Comfortable Shower Room Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and comfortable environment in a shared shower room used by residents on the 100 and 200 units. One resident reported avoiding the shower room on her unit due to a persistent bad odor and visible stains on the floor, opting instead to use a different shower room. Direct observation confirmed a musty, sewage-like odor and a gray-brown stain on the floor near the shower stall. Both a housekeeper and the facility administrator acknowledged the presence of the odor and stain, with the administrator noting a perceived improvement due to a lack of recent complaints. A CNA reported that the odor issue began about a month prior, temporarily improved, but recurred after multiple showers were given in the room.
