Summary
Surveyors observed that the main shower in the south wing was not maintained in a sanitary or safe condition. Specifically, brown and black spots resembling mold were present on the shower floor and near the drain, and the shower chairs had a ring of red residue built up on the underside of the seat. Additionally, the edge of the shower wall bar was missing an end cap cover, exposing a sharp metal ridge. Facility leadership, including the CRN, DON, and Administrator, acknowledged that the shower was in disrepair, should have been closed, and that proper cleaning between uses and daily deep cleaning had not occurred. These conditions resulted in the shower room not being clean or in good repair, as required.
