Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment on three out of five resident units. During multiple observations conducted over several days, strong urine odors were detected in specific resident rooms and in the north elevator lobby area on the third floor. These odors were noted in rooms #555, 566 (on two occasions), and 671, as well as in a common area, indicating a persistent issue with cleanliness and sanitation in these locations. During an interview, the Director of Environmental Services acknowledged awareness of the odors and indicated intent to involve the nursing department for further investigation.
