Summary
Facility staff failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment for residents on Unit A, as evidenced by multiple observations of visibly soiled and debris-laden floors in resident rooms and hallways. On two separate occasions, surveyors noted carpeted floors near doorways that were visibly soiled, as well as crumbs and debris under beds and in hallways. Additional debris, such as a cup lid, was found near the door to the room with the ice chest. The Environmental Director confirmed that housekeeping staff were responsible for keeping these areas clean and acknowledged ongoing issues with cleanliness on Unit A, attributing the problem to a lack of time management skills by the assigned housekeeper.
