Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean environment in a resident's room by not ensuring the privacy curtain was free of visible stains. Observation revealed that the privacy curtain in the room of a resident with dementia, who was cognitively impaired and dependent for all care, had several unidentifiable brown stains along the bottom, extending approximately two feet in length. A CNA confirmed the presence of these stains. Review of the facility's policy indicated that privacy curtains should be changed or cleaned when visibly dirty, but this was not done in this instance.
