Failure to Maintain Clean and Homelike Environment Across All Resident Units
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment across all six resident units. Specific findings included sticky floors in multiple corridors and resident rooms, trash left in corridors, soiled bathroom toilets and floors, littered bathroom floors with used toilet paper, improperly patched wallpaper, warped baseboards, and stained privacy curtains. In one resident room, the soap dispenser was found ripped off the wall and lying on the floor. Additionally, the surface of a wall near the west stairwell was crumbling and soiled with a black mold-like substance, and a moldy odor was detected on one unit. The floors where door frames met the floor were also soiled in several units. In one resident's room, surveyors found a top bed sheet with dried blood stains, a bottom sheet with a large visible stain that was partially covered, and a soiled brief draped over the waste receptacle. The bed table and nightstand were cluttered with empty and unopened beverage bottles, and the room floor was sticky. The resident reported that the bottom sheet had not been changed all week and was covered with a folded blanket by staff. These observations and resident interviews demonstrate a lack of effective housekeeping and maintenance services, resulting in unsanitary and uncomfortable living conditions.
