Failure to Maintain Safe and Clean Environment Across Multiple Units
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple deficiencies related to the facility's failure to maintain a safe, clean, and homelike environment across several units and a kitchenette. On Unit #6, rooms were found with black tape covering uneven and lifting floor thresholds, dust accumulation on an oxygen concentrator, exposed drywall, brown substances on bed rails and privacy curtains, peeling surfaces on bedside tables, and visibly soiled furniture. Additional observations included cracked walls, multiple scrapes and discoloration, and further instances of lifting flooring at room entrances. Staff interviews confirmed these findings. On Unit #5, rooms had floor tiles that were curled, lifted, and loose, with some tiles able to be moved with light pressure. There was also missing trim on a bedside table. Staff confirmed the presence of these hazards. In Unit #1 West, the kitchenette had missing tiles resulting in uneven flooring, with black tape covering the edges of remaining tiles. A resident was observed walking over this uneven surface. Staff interviews corroborated the observations of missing tiles and uneven flooring.
