Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the hallway in the 100 hall was accessible for residents, as observed on two separate occasions. On both days, mechanical lifts were found positioned on both the right and left sides of the hallway near various resident rooms, along with a housekeeping cart and a medication cart also placed on either side of the hallway. These items were observed to be blocking the residents' path. During an interview, the receptionist confirmed that objects were present on both sides of the hallway, obstructing the clear passage that should be maintained for residents.
