Summary

The facility failed to maintain a sanitary and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public, as evidenced by multiple stained ceiling tiles on two of three floors. A community complaint submitted to the state health department alleged serious plumbing issues, leaking ceilings and heating systems, and water stains throughout the building’s ceiling tiles. During a survey of the first floor, the surveyor observed a brown-stained ceiling tile approximately 6 inches long in the main hallway across from the chapel; another brown-stained tile spanning about 8 inches directly above the doorway to a resident room on the South unit; a brown-stained tile approximately 6 to 8 inches long above the doorway to a utility room on the South unit; and three adjacent ceiling tiles, each with circular brown stains 12 to 18 inches in diameter, in the hallway leading to the shower rooms on the South unit.

On the second-floor South unit, the surveyor observed a ceiling tile with a semi-circular brown stain approximately 18 inches wide above the doorway to a shower room. During observations and an interview with the Maintenance Director, he acknowledged that these ceiling tiles were stained and needed to be replaced. No additional resident-specific clinical information or medical history was provided in relation to this deficiency.
