Environmental Deficiencies in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for residents in six rooms. Specific environmental deficiencies included loose wallpaper with air bubbles, scuffs and black marks on bathroom doors, large circular holes in bathroom walls behind toilets, scrapes and tears in wallpaper, loose trim, paint chips in wooden trim around air conditioning/heating units, and cracks in paint under grab bars. These issues were identified during a random opportunity for discovery upon survey entrance and were present in multiple resident rooms. During a walkthrough with the administrator, the environmental issues in the identified rooms were acknowledged. The observations were based on direct visual inspection and staff interviews, confirming the presence of the deficiencies in the physical environment of the facility. No information was provided regarding the medical history or condition of the residents occupying the affected rooms at the time of the deficiency.
