Summary

Surveyors identified that the facility failed to ensure certain areas were free from accident hazards and adequately supervised. On multiple observations over several days, the biohazardous waste room was found unlocked, with 13 sharps containers on a shelf and two large biohazardous waste bags containing multiple sharps containers on the floor. The beauty shop was also observed unlocked, with an environmental services cart containing cleaning supplies and a large putty knife on top. Additionally, the staff restroom door was observed not fully closed, and the room lacked an emergency call light or call cord for emergency use. Further observations confirmed that on subsequent days the biohazardous waste room and staff restroom remained unlocked and accessible to residents. During interviews, an LPN acknowledged that the biohazardous waste room was unlocked and then engaged the locking mechanism, and also confirmed that the staff restroom was unlocked, accessible to residents, and did not have a call light available. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that the facility failed to provide a safe environment for residents on one of two nursing units, in violation of applicable Pennsylvania regulations regarding management, staff development, and resident rights.
