Laundry Room Equipment Not Maintained in Clean and Safe Condition
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility's laundry room contained four washers with visible brown, blue, and white build-up on the tops and sides. Additionally, water was seen leaking from the water reserve tank located behind the washers, resulting in water pooling on the floor in front of the machines. During an interview, the Housekeeping Supervisor confirmed the presence of the build-up and the ongoing water leakage, stating that the water reserve tank had been overflowing onto the laundry room floor for over a week. These conditions were directly observed and confirmed by staff, and had the potential to affect all 89 residents in the facility. No specific residents or their medical conditions were mentioned in relation to this deficiency.
