Summary
Surveyors observed strong urine odors in the 200 and 300 halls, as well as the legacy hall, on multiple days. The Director of Environmental Services confirmed the presence of these odors and attributed the smell in the legacy hall to two male residents who urinate on the carpet instead of using the restroom. The facility's cleaning practices include monthly commercial carpet cleaning, daily wiping of dining chairs, and cleaning of cloth upholstery couches when housekeeping is notified. Despite these routines, pervasive urine odors were present in hallways and common areas, affecting the environment for all residents, staff, and the public.
