Failure to Maintain Clean and Homelike Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment for three of twelve sampled residents, as evidenced by multiple observations and interviews. One resident's room had visible dirt and pieces of paper under the bed, with staff and the resident confirming that garbage was often present and that cleaning under beds was not routinely performed. Another resident's room had visible dirt near the wheelchair area, and the resident noted inconsistent cleaning depending on the staff member, while a staff member admitted to only cleaning as needed. A third resident had oxygen tubing ear protectors and a green piece of garbage under the bed on consecutive days. Facility cleaning records were incomplete or missing for the relevant dates, further indicating lapses in routine cleaning practices.
