Summary
A shower room located in hallway four was found to be unsanitary and in disrepair during an inspection conducted with the Maintenance Director. Observations included a shower doorframe in a state of disrepair, broken wall tiles, and a call light cord that was broken and had been replaced with plastic bags instead of a proper replacement. Additionally, a bottle of lotion was stored on top of a dirty sharps container, and a used razor was found in a plastic cup placed atop a box of clean gloves. The Maintenance Director confirmed these findings during the inspection. Review of the facility's policy indicated that residents are to be provided with a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, which was not maintained in this instance.
