Resident Room Not Maintained in Clean and Sanitary Condition
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a resident's room in a clean, organized, and sanitary condition. During a facility tour with the Regional Maintenance Director, it was observed that the resident's room contained an empty medication cup on the floor, a basin on the sofa with a dried dark brownish red substance, clothes scattered on the floor, brown discoloration in the toilet with a splattered spot of stool on the toilet tank, and a dried yellow substance in the bottom of the suction machine container at the bedside. The Regional Maintenance Director confirmed these observations, verifying that the room was not clean, organized, or sanitary at the time of inspection. This deficiency was identified during an investigation under a specific complaint number and affected one resident in a facility with a census of 62.
