Obstructed Hallway Due to Improper Storage of Boxes and Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the hallway in the 300 hall was accessible for residents, as observed during a random inspection. On the specified date and time, three large boxes, including one with a picture of a toilet, were found piled on top of each other along with other pieces of cardboard and packaging material protruding from the top and sides, obstructing the hallway near a resident room. Additionally, a large box with a picture of a toilet and a toilet itself were found on the floor in the hallway near other resident rooms. During an interview, a facility payroll staff member confirmed that objects were present on both sides of the hallway, blocking the path for residents, and stated that items should be kept on one side to maintain a clear passage.
