Summary

The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for two residents by not keeping their beds, furniture, and room fixtures clean and in good repair. For Resident #2, who was admitted with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, legal blindness, type 2 DM, peripheral vascular disease, seizures, and depression and had a BIMS score of 15 indicating no cognitive impairment, surveyors observed dirt and grime on the bed frame, bed rails, over-bed table frame, and the top of the nightstand. The top drawer of the nightstand was missing, and a white powdery substance was observed covering the air conditioner vent. These conditions were confirmed during a joint observation with the Administrator.

For Resident #3, who had diagnoses including paraplegia, generalized muscle weakness, hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, and multiple myeloma not in remission, and a BIMS score of 12 indicating moderate cognitive impairment, surveyors observed dirt and stains on the bed frame, bed rails, over-bed table frame, and floor. Additionally, the over-bed table had broken and missing veneer, leaving exposed particle board. These environmental deficiencies were also confirmed during an observation with the Administrator.
