Summary
A mattress was found lying on the floor in the north hallway, a resident area, in front of the mechanical room and the entrance to the kitchen/service hall at approximately 7:30 AM. This observation was made during a survey and was acknowledged by both a nurse aide and a registered nurse, who confirmed that the mattress should not have been left there. Both staff members recognized that the mattress constituted a hazard and that a resident could have fallen over it. The facility census at the time was 117.
