Summary

Surveyor observation identified a failure to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment in one resident room. On 2/3/26 at approximately 10:15 AM, the surveyor entered room [ROOM NUMBER] B, where Resident #1 resides, and observed trash scattered on the floor, including wrappers, Kleenex, a hair brush, and food. Leftover food and crumbs were present on the bedside tables for both Resident #1 and the roommate, and there was stuck-on food on the cushion of the wheelchair. The floor mat was dirty, and the corners of the room were dusty and dirty. These conditions were shown to the Charge Nurse (staff #7) and the DON (staff #2); staff #7 stated that Resident #1 is a messy eater and gets food everywhere, but the roommate’s side of the room was also observed to be just as dirty. The Administrator was made aware of these findings.

This deficiency reflects the facility’s failure to adequately clean the resident room, including sweeping and mopping the floor and maintaining clean surfaces and equipment, for 1 of 1 residents and rooms reviewed in this context.
