Failure to Maintain Homelike Environment Due to Wall and Paint Damage
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain a homelike environment in three out of eighteen resident rooms during the initial tour of the recertification survey. Specifically, one resident's room had damage to the wall adjacent to the bed, with scratches and peeling, flaking paint. Another resident's bathroom had paint damage, brown streaking on the wall, and crumbling wall fragments at the base of the toilet. A third resident's room had scratches and peeling, flaking paint on the wall at the head of the bed. These deficiencies were directly observed by surveyors and confirmed during an interview with the Maintenance Supervisor, who acknowledged the presence of peeling, flaking, and scratched paint in resident areas. No information was provided regarding the medical history or condition of the residents at the time of the deficiency.
