Summary
A moderate dent and exposed wall area were observed behind the head of a resident's bed during a facility survey. The resident, who had been admitted several months prior, expressed dissatisfaction with the condition of the wall, stating that it looked awful and was not reflective of a homelike environment. The Environmental Director, when interviewed in the room, acknowledged that the wall should not be in that condition. The facility's policy on resident rights affirms the right to a dignified existence and a homelike environment, but the observed damage to the wall had not been repaired at the time of the survey.
