Summary

The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure that resident common shower rooms and common area corridors were properly cleaned and maintained for the majority of the resident population. Surveyor observation of the north common shower room found a black substance along the edge of the floor and wall in the left stall, as well as an approximately one foot by eight inch section of missing ceramic tile next to the wall-mounted seat, exposing the structural backing or board and a one-inch diameter hole through the wall. In the south common shower room, surveyors observed a soiled brief on the floor in front of the sink, a brown substance with peeling caulk around the base of the toilet, a black substance between the shower stall floor and tile, and a black substance between the wall shower tiles. Four holes were noted penetrating the wall through the ceramic tile with a black-brown substance around the holes, and a broken soap dispenser in the stall with jagged edges.

Additional observations between multiple resident room corridors (rooms 101–109, 110–122, 201–210, 301–312, and 314–326) revealed brown/black residue covering various floor tiles, along corridor walls, and at resident room thresholds. Multiple broken floor tiles were also identified in corridors between rooms 206–208 and 314–327. During an interview, an LPN stated that the floors had been in this condition since the start of their employment. A tour with the Director of Housekeeping Services confirmed the condition of the facility flooring and resident common showers, and the Director reported that attempts to remove the flooring stains had been unsuccessful. These conditions affected 68 current residents, excluding 11 residents on the Medbridge unit, and were investigated under a complaint.
