Unsanitary Environmental Conditions on North Building 7th and 8th Floors
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment on two of eight units, specifically the North Building 7th and 8th floors. On the North Building 8th floor (N8), surveyors observed a bathroom with used briefs placed on the trash can, paper towels, used gloves, and empty bottles of body wash and shampoo left in the sinks. The N8 trash chute closet contained an overflowing trash bin with papers, used gloves, paper towels, and food scattered on the floor. In the North Building stairwell, used gloves were observed on the landing between the 7th (N7) and 8th (N8) floors. Additional observations of trash chute rooms on all North Building floors showed food, used gloves, papers, and paper towels on the floor on N8. When these findings were presented to the Nursing Home Administrator and DON, they acknowledged the information and stated they would investigate. No specific residents, medical histories, or clinical conditions were described in relation to these environmental sanitation deficiencies.
