Failure to Maintain Clean and Sanitary Environment on Multiple Units
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and sanitary environment on two of seven units observed, specifically the 100 and 200 units. Facility policies required daily room cleaning and room completes, including pulling and replacing garbage bags, sweeping, and mopping floors. However, review of grievances revealed concerns about the cleanliness of a resident room and bathroom on the 200 unit. Observations showed thick dry spots from spilled liquid, debris, straw wrappers, napkins, fuzzy dust, food crumbs, and unemptied trash in a resident room and the 200-unit break/storage area. Staff interviews across all units indicated widespread concerns about housekeeping, particularly on the 100, 200, and 300 units. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed the dirty conditions during a tour.
