Summary
During an observation of the laundry room, both dryers were found to have a thick layer of lint built up in their lint traps, which appeared to be significantly more than what would be expected from a single dryer load. At the time of the observation, the Housekeeping Director confirmed that the dryers had not been cleaned and verified the presence of excessive lint build up. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 79 residents in the facility, as indicated by the facility census.
