Failure to Maintain Cleanliness in Shower Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and orderly shower room for resident use, as observed in one of three shower rooms. During an inspection of the 100 Hall shower room, surveyors found feces in three separate areas on the floor outside the shower, along with a used plastic bag, wet paper towels, and a used nicotine patch on the floor. The floor was visibly dirty throughout the room, and a used nicotine patch was also stuck to the shower wall. Additionally, a black substance was noted around the base of the shower area where the wall and floor meet. Both the ADON and the Lead Housekeeper acknowledged the unclean condition of the room during interviews, with the Lead Housekeeper stating that the floors should be swept and mopped and all debris removed, but that the dark substance remained despite cleaning attempts. The Administrator reported there was no specific policy or checklist for cleaning the bathrooms.
