Summary
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment and adhere to professional standards of infection prevention and control. During observations, a fall mat with two tears was found on the floor next to a resident's bed, creating a surface that could not be properly cleaned. Additionally, an unwrapped bed pan was observed leaning against the wall next to the toilet in the resident's bathroom, making it available for use in an unsanitary condition. These deficiencies were confirmed through interviews and direct observation, with staff acknowledging that the bed pan should have been wrapped.
