Environmental Deficiencies Across Resident Hallways
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified multiple environmental deficiencies across all four resident hallways, including the A hallway, Women's Unit, C-hall, and Men's Unit. Observations revealed missing overhead light bulbs and a dirty ceiling air vent in the therapy bathroom at the end of the A hallway. Additional issues included a rusted ceiling vent fan, a ceiling vent panel not fully attached, and visible dirt and water stains on ceiling panels in various locations. Mold was observed on shower floors in both the Women's Unit and C-hall, and a bedside light in a C-hall room was not functioning. In the Men's Unit, a bathroom floor molding was found detached from the wall. Interviews with the Maintenance Director and Administrator confirmed that these repairs had not been completed, and the Maintenance Director stated he had not received work orders for the noted deficiencies. Review of the facility's maintenance policies indicated that routine inspections are required to ensure cleanliness and proper repair, but these procedures were not followed, resulting in the identified environmental concerns.
