Uncovered Floor Vents and Damaged Handrails Create Unsafe Environment
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified that the facility failed to maintain a safe and functional environment for all 62 residents reviewed. During an observation of the facility, surveyors noted several uncovered holes in the floor near the wall, each approximately 1.5 inches by 8 inches long, with no screens or vent covers in place. Additional observations showed that handrails throughout the facility were scuffed and scratched. In a subsequent observation and interview with the Maintenance Director and the Administrator, both confirmed that there were no vent covers in the hallways and acknowledged that the vents were missing while laminate flooring was being replaced, as well as the presence of the scuffed and scratched handrails. No specific resident medical histories or conditions were described in the report, and the deficiency was cited as affecting the environment for all 62 residents reviewed.
