Summary
A deficiency was identified when the storage room on 500 Hall was found unlocked during an observation, containing items such as body soap, shampoo, and disposable razors intended for resident showers. The soap and shampoo containers were labeled as eye irritants. The Housekeeping Supervisor confirmed that the storage room was not secured and acknowledged the presence of items labeled as eye irritants. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated that her expectation was for storage rooms to remain locked when not in use to prevent resident access to potentially unsafe items. The Administrator confirmed that the facility did not have a policy regarding the physical environment.
