Environmental Deficiencies in Supervised Bathing Areas and Resident Room
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified that the facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment on all three nursing units, specifically in supervised bathing areas and at least one resident room. On the first floor, the supervised bathing area had a broken and cracked floor, cracked and peeling rubber baseboard molding around the shower partition panel, a black substance on the base and corner of the shower partition panel separating the bathing and drying areas, and two stained ceiling tiles above the shower. On the second floor, the supervised bathing area had two stained ceiling tiles above the shower and two holes in the wall above the sink, and in one resident room the privacy curtain between two beds had orange and brown stains. On the third floor, the supervised bathing area privacy curtain had brown stains along the entire bottom, both shower stall floors had peeling blue paint, and a bag of wet linens was observed on the floor. These conditions were cited under 42 CFR 483.10(i) Safe Environment and related state regulations and had been previously cited on an earlier survey. No specific resident medical histories or conditions were described in the report, and the observations were focused on environmental conditions in common bathing areas and a shared resident room.
