Failure to Maintain Clean and Homelike Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a failure to maintain a clean, safe, and homelike environment for residents when two resident rooms were found with significant debris and soiling on the floors. On 02/23/26 at 9:07 A.M., the carpeted floor in Resident #13’s room contained a large amount of food crumb particles, small pieces of shredded paper, and a mud-like substance spread throughout the entire room, which was confirmed by LPN #130. Later that morning at 9:50 A.M., Resident #18’s room floor was observed to be covered with shredded paper, shredded metallic paper, and food crumb particles extending from the bed area to the door, and these findings were also verified by LPN #130. At 11:18 A.M., the Regional Nurse #128 stated that resident rooms were expected to be cleaned daily, including on weekends. Review of the facility’s undated policy, “Standard Operate Procedure (SOP)-Room Cleaning-Health Center,” showed that daily room cleaning was to include organizing, trash pickup and dusting, spraying approved disinfectants, wiping surfaces clean, vacuuming the room, and mopping the bathroom, indicating that the observed room conditions did not meet the facility’s stated cleaning procedures. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number 2731910.
