Failure to Maintain Clean and Homelike Resident Environment
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident's room was observed to have two broken and missing slats on the mini blinds, as well as a one foot by one foot area of missing paint on the North wall and several smaller areas of missing paint along the North and East walls. The resident reported that both the broken blinds and missing paint had been present for the three years they had resided in the facility. When interviewed, a CNA was unsure who was responsible for addressing these issues, while an LPN stated that maintenance was responsible but was unaware if maintenance had been informed of the room's condition. The maintenance supervisor confirmed responsibility for repairs, and the administrator stated that such issues should be reported to maintenance for resolution.
