Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public. During the recertification survey, sections of the lower portion of the building facade were found to be covered with moss and algae. Additionally, piles of old construction materials, accumulations of leaves, and litter were present on the grounds along the building. The garbage dumpsters were not placed within the designated fenced area, and vegetation was encroaching on the fencing. These conditions were directly observed during the survey and confirmed through staff interviews.
