Summary

The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to maintain resident restrooms in good repair and free from damage, specifically related to vinyl baseboard coverings in four resident rooms on the 200, 300, and 400 halls. During random room observations, surveyors noted that in one room, the vinyl baseboard covering was in disrepair with gaps measuring approximately six inches along the bottom left portion of the wall, extending through the corner and continuing behind the toilet, and an additional gap of approximately seven inches along the right side of the wall, also continuing behind the toilet. In another room, the vinyl baseboard covering had a hole measuring approximately one and a half inches in the corner to the right of the toilet and another hole of approximately two inches on the wall to the left of the toilet.

Further observations showed that in a third room, the vinyl baseboard covering was in disrepair with a gap of approximately two inches on the wall to the left of the toilet and a one-inch gap on the wall to the right of the toilet. In a fourth room, a gap of approximately four inches in length was present on the wall to the left of the toilet. During an interview, the Maintenance Director confirmed the presence of gaps and holes in the vinyl baseboard coverings in the restrooms of rooms 210, 305, 307, and 405 and acknowledged that the vinyl baseboards should be repaired immediately to prevent insects and pests from entering through the gaps and holes.
