Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe and functional shower environment, as evidenced by the presence of two holes in the wall at the base of the tile in one of four shower rooms. This issue was identified during an observation, and it was confirmed that there was no documentation in the maintenance logs indicating that staff had requested repairs for the shower or wall. The maintenance worker acknowledged the lack of documentation and recognized the holes as a safety hazard for residents using the shower room. Review of the facility's maintenance policy indicated that the maintenance department is responsible for keeping the building in good repair and free from hazards at all times.
