Summary
During a tour of the laundry room, the surveyor observed that the floor tiles in the area with washing machines were visibly dirty, with brown spills covering an area of approximately 1.5 ft by 1.5 ft in front of a platform where washing machine chemicals were stored. A brown dirt-like substance was also noted throughout the length of the laundry room leading to the platform. In the clean area of the laundry room, an HVAC unit was found with three rusty grille vent covers that had thick layers of dust. The Environmental Services Supervisor acknowledged the need for cleaning. These observations were made in the presence of facility staff and were reported to the Nursing Home Administrator.
