Failure to Maintain Clean and Sanitary Environment on Second Floor
Penalty
Summary
During an environmental tour of the second floor nursing unit, surveyors observed multiple deficiencies related to the cleanliness and sanitation of the facility. In several resident rooms, strong and pervasive odors of urine and stool were detected, particularly in shared bathrooms and at the entrances to resident rooms. Specific findings included unflushed toilets with visible soiling, soiled clothing and bathing items stored on the bathroom floor, and persistent odors throughout both resident rooms and common areas. Additionally, the hallway and common area floors were noted to be dusty, stained, and in need of cleaning. These observations indicate a failure to maintain a clean and sanitary environment for residents and staff on the second floor nursing unit.
