Failure to Maintain Clean, Safe, and Homelike Environment on All Floors
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for residents on all three floors observed. On the third floor, a resident room was found with visible dust, food particles, debris, and dirt under and around the bed, near the window, and between beds, along with red-colored liquid droplets on the floor. The flooring along the perimeter walls appeared discolored, and baseboards were detached and falling away from the wall, exposing unpainted wall surfaces. Throughout the third-floor hallways, surveyors observed multiple stains on the floors, debris including crushed food particles, straw wrappers, and empty sugar packets, and splatters of a white liquid substance on the hallway floors. In the third-floor dining area, food debris was present on the floor beneath a dining table and remained there when rechecked later the same day. Additional observations on other floors showed further environmental deficiencies. In the third-floor hallway across from the nurse's station, a handrail was bent downward toward the floor, loosely attached to the wall with four screws, with two holes in the wall at the handrail location and chipped and peeling paint on the handrail itself. On the second floor, two beds were being stored in the front day room. On the first floor, the library had brown stains on the wall and a gouged area with missing paint above the baseboard. These conditions were reviewed with the Nursing Home Administrator during an interview, and the deficiencies were cited under 28 Pa. Code 201.18(e)(1) Management and 28 Pa. Code 201.29(a) Resident rights.
