Environmental Maintenance Deficiency Noted on Nursing Unit
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents and staff on one of four nursing units, specifically Station 2. During observations conducted over two days, surveyors noted peeling wallpaper on all four walls in the Chapel, damage to the wall to the left of the door in one resident room, and damage to the wall behind the bathroom sink and toilet, as well as damaged linoleum below the sink in another resident room. The Administrator confirmed in an interview that these environmental issues should have been addressed. These findings indicate that the facility did not uphold required standards for environmental maintenance as outlined in state regulations, resulting in a deficiency related to the physical condition of the environment.
