Summary
A hole measuring approximately eight inches by eight inches was observed in the wall behind the head of a resident's bed, near the baseboard. This issue was identified during an observation and was confirmed by interviews with a CNA and an LPN, both of whom stated they had not previously noticed the hole. Review of the facility's maintenance work orders for the past six months showed no documentation of a request to repair the hole in the resident's room. The deficiency was identified as part of a complaint investigation and had the potential to affect one of five resident rooms observed, with a facility census of 78 at the time.
