Environmental Deficiencies Compromise Homelike Setting
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and homelike environment for residents, as evidenced by multiple environmental deficiencies across three hallways. Specifically, cracked tiles were found in the 200, 300, and 400 hallways, with six cracked tiles between a resident room and the nurses' station in the 200 hallway, and eight cracked tiles in a resident room in the 300 hallway. Additional issues in the 300 hallway included two tiles with bubbles under the head of the first bed, six tiles with black discoloration, a detached trim guard from a bathroom door post, and a rusted P-trap under a bathroom sink. In the 400 hallway, four broken tiles were observed between resident rooms, and two cracked tiles were found behind the door in the unit shower room. These findings were confirmed by the Maintenance Director during an environmental tour. No information was provided regarding the medical history or condition of the residents at the time of the deficiency.
