Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment on one nursing unit, as evidenced by multiple observations of black residue present on the floors of several resident rooms and a bathroom across from the nurse's station. During interviews, one resident reported that equipment in the facility was rusty, while another resident stated that housekeeping staff only disposed of trash and did not clean. These findings were based on direct observations and resident interviews conducted by surveyors. The deficiency was cited under 28 Pa. Code 207.2(a), which pertains to the administrator's responsibility to ensure a safe and clean environment for residents.
