Summary
Surveyors observed that a cabinet in the beauty shop area, which contained three hair coloring kits, three cans of hair spray, and one box of hair curling permanent kit, was found unlocked and accessible through an open door. The cabinet was supposed to have a magnetic lock and remain secured at all times, as confirmed by an administrative nurse. Facility policy required hazardous materials to be stored in a locked and secure manner to prevent injury to patients, visitors, and staff. The failure to keep the cabinet locked resulted in hazardous chemicals being accessible to cognitively impaired, independently mobile residents.
