Resident Room Not Maintained in Clean and Homelike Condition
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that one resident's room was not maintained in a safe, clean, and comfortable condition as required. The room had a strong unpleasant odor, and soiled linens with an odor were piled on the roommate's bed. Additionally, there was a small puddle of an unknown liquid by the door, and the floor was scattered with small pieces of paper, a straw, and other white debris. These findings were confirmed by a CNA during an interview, who acknowledged the presence of the odor, soiled linens, trash, debris, and the spill. The DON also confirmed these observations and acknowledged that the room should not have been in that state. No information about the resident's medical history or condition at the time of the deficiency was provided in the report.
