Summary
Staff failed to maintain a homelike environment for a resident whose privacy curtain was observed to have several large, red stains and a brown stain. The stained curtain had been present for at least a couple of days, as confirmed by the resident's roommate. During an interview, a nurse aide acknowledged the condition of the curtain and stated that the process for addressing such issues involves notifying housekeeping to change and clean the curtains when stains are noticed. This deficiency was identified through observation and interviews with both staff and residents, and it affected one of five residents reviewed for environmental concerns in a facility with a census of 107.
