No penalty information released

Summary

Facility staff failed to maintain a safe, clean, and sanitary environment in multiple resident rooms and kitchen areas. During an environmental walkthrough, surveyors observed soiled nightstand surfaces, missing or detached baseboards, moisture-damaged ceiling tiles, and broken or loose toilet handrails in several rooms. Additional room-related issues included broken or clogged hand-washing sinks, missing or broken hand-washing soap dispensers, absence of hand-washing soap, a missing trash can in a restroom, a sticky restroom floor, a broken wardrobe cabinet door, a wardrobe in poor repair, a missing pillowcase, and stained bedding and bedrails. In a shared restroom, surveyors found a loose toilet handrail, a broken hot water faucet valve at the hand-washing sink, and slow drainage at the hand-washing sink in the tub room.

In the kitchen and food service areas, surveyors identified damaged drywall at the delivery receiving area, dust build-up on ceiling tiles and metal grids above the rack for clean utensils, and an unclean stainless steel backsplash wall cover at the three-compartment dish sink area. They also observed significant grease buildup on cooking equipment and a missing ceiling tile above the dishwashing area. These environmental and maintenance deficiencies were directly observed and acknowledged by the Food Service Director, Maintenance Director, and Environmental Services Director during the survey.
