Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide a safe, functional, sanitary and comfortable environment by failing to: Ensure the ceiling and walls in the residents' hallways across from the second dining or televisions (TV) room on the facility's second floor did not have water leak marks, brownish discoloration and paint peeling off the walls.Ensure three (3) rooms' (Room C, D and E) ceiling and/or walls did not have water leak marks and brownish discoloration.Ensure that Room B did not have a framed painting on the wall with an unidentified greenish and blackish substance spreading from inside the frame to the surrounding wall.Ensure that Room A did not have multiple scratches on the wall, peeling paint on the wall, and a cracked baseboard protruding from the wall. These deficient practices resulted in an unsanitary, unhomelike environment and created the potential risk of residents being exposed to unidentified substances in the framed painting or potential molds from the water leak.Findings:During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 11:10 AM in the second-floor hallway across the second dining/TV room, the ceiling panel next to the window was observed with dark brown discoloration and the wall next to the ceiling panel was also observed with cracked wood and paint was peeling off.
