Summary
Surveyors determined that the facility failed to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for residents, as evidenced by observations made during facility rounds. Specifically, in two resident bathrooms, one was found to have a missing cove base at the bottom of the wall, and another had peeling paint on the floor. These deficiencies were directly observed by surveyors and subsequently brought to the attention of the Nursing Home Administrator and the Assistant Director of Nursing during staff interviews. No information was provided regarding the medical history or condition of the residents using these bathrooms at the time of the deficiency.
