Summary
The facility failed to provide a homelike environment for one resident, as evidenced by a large area of missing paint, approximately two feet by four feet, on the wall in the resident's room across from the bathroom door. The resident, who has moderate cognitive impairment as indicated by a BIMS score of 12, expressed concern about the appearance of the room, noting that it had been in that condition since admission and that it was not acceptable for family visits. The Maintenance Director acknowledged awareness of the issue but had not addressed it, and the Administrator admitted to not noticing the problem during rounds. Facility policy requires maintaining a safe, clean, and homelike environment, which was not upheld in this instance.
