Summary
Facility staff failed to maintain a clean environment in one of twelve resident rooms observed, specifically in resident room [ROOM NUMBER]. During an observation, the PTAC (packaged terminal air conditioner) unit vents in this room were found to be coated with a black, greasy substance. A staff member confirmed the vents were not clean and stated that PTAC units are checked every two weeks, but this particular unit had been overlooked. The administrator and director of nursing were informed of these findings, and no additional information was provided prior to the survey exit.
