Summary
Facility staff failed to provide sufficient hallway space and equipment, as evidenced by resident wheelchairs lined up on both sides of the Hill Top Front Hallway, obstructing a direct walking path. This was observed during a random opportunity for discovery, with the hallway arrangement leaving no clear passage for those walking through. The facility administrator acknowledged the lack of adequate space and direct path during a staff interview. No specific details about individual residents' medical history or conditions at the time of the deficiency were provided in the report.
