Failure to Maintain Clean and Sanitary Resident Rooms and Common Areas
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to maintain resident rooms, bathrooms, common areas, and the dining room in a clean and sanitary condition, as required by licensure regulations. Surveyors observed multiple resident rooms with visibly soiled floors, dried liquid spills, debris, popcorn, M&M candies, tissues, and small pieces of paper throughout rooms and bathrooms. Several toilets and toilet risers were noted to have dried brown substances, brown splatters, brown stains, and white creamy substances on the seats, bowls, and surrounding floors. Trash receptacles were observed full with used briefs, and paper towels and meal trays were left on floors. In one room, a white powdery substance was scattered on the floor under the head of the bed and remained over several days, only partially cleaned with smears still visible on subsequent observations. Additional observations extended beyond individual rooms to common and dining areas. Surveyors noted a large dark stain on the carpet near seating in a common area, a red stain under a dining room table near the kitchen entrance, and dining room floors soiled with debris throughout. In the Railroad common area, the drain area in the cabinet under the ice machine was soiled with a green stain. These conditions were repeatedly observed over multiple days, and during a facility tour the Administrator confirmed the presence of the soiled floors, stained carpet, stained area under the ice machine, and the soiled toilets and floors in multiple identified rooms.
