Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and sanitary environment for one resident out of three reviewed for environmental conditions. During an observation, a resident with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of the prostate, secondary malignant neoplasm of the bladder and bone, and Alzheimer's disease, who was also receiving hospice services, was found lying in bed with a bag containing a soiled incontinence brief placed on the floor at the foot of the bed. The bed was positioned with the left side and foot against the walls. This finding was confirmed by a Regional RN, who acknowledged that the soiled brief should have been disposed of properly.
