Improper Storage of Clorox Wipes in Resident Bathroom
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure the environment was free from accident hazards and to safely store a container of Clorox wipes in a resident room. During the initial tour on 01/28/26 at 11:55 AM, surveyors observed a container of Clorox wipes sitting on the bathroom sink in room [ROOM NUMBER]. At 11:58 AM, an LPN (identified as LPN #21) confirmed that the Clorox wipes should not be in the resident’s bathroom. At 12:20 PM the same day, the Administrator was notified and confirmed that Clorox wipes should not be stored in a resident’s bathroom. The report does not provide additional clinical or medical details about the resident(s) assigned to that room. This was identified as a random opportunity for discovery during the survey, with a facility census of 116 residents at the time of the observation.
