Summary
Staff failed to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for one resident when the bathroom used by the resident was observed to have a strong urine odor, a wet spot on the floor around the toilet, and visible staining and dark buildup around the toilet seal. During observation, these unsanitary conditions were confirmed by an LPN, who acknowledged the presence of urine and odor but did not believe the toilet was leaking. The administrator later stated that the expectation is for bathrooms to be cleaned and for staff to be made aware of such issues. These findings indicate that the facility did not ensure the resident's right to a safe, clean, and homelike environment, as required.
