Environmental Safety and Cleanliness Deficiencies Identified
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for residents and staff, as evidenced by several observed deficiencies. On the Chesapeake unit, a locked closet with a damaged door revealed an exposed latch visible from the hallway, and a soiled utility room was found to have cracked floor tiles in front of a drain. Additionally, a shower stall on another unit contained a dark or black substance between the tiles, extending from the floor up to the steel grab bar, with the substance being more pronounced in the corners. Further observations on the Chesapeake unit revealed that the entrance doors to several rooms were cracked and missing coating near the lower door hinge. These findings were based on direct observations during the annual survey and indicate multiple areas where the physical environment was not adequately maintained for safety and comfort.
