Failure to Maintain a Safe, Clean, and Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple deficiencies related to the facility's failure to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment in 9 out of 100 rooms and elevator areas. Specific findings included rooms without toilet tissue, dirty floors with dark gray spots, food crumbs on the floor, and scuffed or peeling paint on bathroom doors. In one room, multiple flies were present on a resident's bed and furniture, and the resident expressed a desire for the flies to be removed. Additional observations included a broken and unreachable soap dispenser, wardrobe drawers that could not fully close with a handle positioned incorrectly, and toilet paper rolls placed in locations that were not easily accessible. Further deficiencies were noted in common areas, such as elevator carpeting and the carpeting in front of elevators on the first and third floors, which were dirty and stained. In one room, bathroom shower tiles were lifted from the wall, and a side light cover was incorrectly positioned. Another room had a clogged bathroom sink. These findings were acknowledged by the Assistant Director of Nursing during a facility tour.
