Failure to Maintain Clean and Homelike Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a clean, safe, comfortable, and homelike environment for residents in eight out of fifteen rooms, as evidenced by observations made during a facility tour. Specific deficiencies included stained and grimy tiles around toilets and throughout bathrooms, chipped and stained plaster behind toilets, missing vent covers, incomplete patchwork below sinks, and one bathroom lacking a toilet. These conditions were directly observed in resident rooms 114, 116, 119, 122, 139, 140, 143, and 144. The facility's own Homelike Environment policy, dated 5/30/25, states that residents are to be provided with a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment and are encouraged to use their personal belongings. During interviews, the Nursing Home Administrator and the Regional Maintenance Director confirmed the observed deficiencies and acknowledged that the facility did not meet the required standards for cleanliness and maintenance in the affected resident rooms.
