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. During an observation on 2/9/2026
at 11:15 AM on the second- floor along the resident's room hallway, the ceilings were observed with
scattered dark brown discoloration and visible dried brown colored water leak marks on the wall. During an
observation on 2/9/2026 at 11:45 AM in Room A, Room A multiple scratches were noted on the wall, the
paint was peeling off, and the baseboard was cracked and protruding from the wall. During a concurrent
observation and interview on 2/9/2026 at 12:25 PM with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), inside Room B,
a framed painting was observed hanging on the wall that appeared damp inside the frame. An unidentified
green substance was noted on the top left corner of the frame, and a black substance was also observed
on the bottom middle area extending to the right corner. In addition, from the ceiling to the wall above the
framed painting, a visible dried dark brown water mark was noted, continuing beneath the painting and
extending down to the base boards. MS confirmed the water mark resulted from a water leak that occurred
after heavy rains early in January 2026. MS also stated no staff or residents reported this water leak mark,
which was already dried. During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 1:08 PM inside Room C, Room C had a
cracked and peeled paint on the walls. During an observation on 2/9/2026 at 1:10 PM inside Room D,
Room D had peeled paint on the room ceiling and bathroom ceiling. During an observation on 2/9/2026 at
1:15 PM inside Room E, Room E had peeling paint on the ceiling and walls. During an interview on
2/9/2026 at 1:40 PM with the Housekeeping Supervisor (HKS), the HKS stated resident rooms, nurses'
stations, staff lounges, offices and hallways are cleaned daily. HKS stated housekeeping staff should be
cleaning the walls and the floors. HKS stated she does not know why the dried water leak marks were not
cleaned and the dirty painting with greenish and blackish substances was not removed in Room B. HKS
stated none of the housekeeping staff or nursing staff reported this to HKS. HKS also stated it was not

and whatever substance was in the painting could potentially make the residents occupying the room sick.
During an interview on 2/9/2026 at 3:48 PM with MS, MS stated the ceilings and walls in Rooms C, D, and
E were repainted after the water leak from the roof in early January 2026 was repaired. MS also stated the
paint started to peel off again. During an interview on 2/9/2026 at 4:34 PM with the Director of Nursing
(DON), the DON stated facility staff need to report any dirty rooms, hallways or surfaces, and cracked walls
and paint peeling off to the maintenance department so it could be addressed immediately so residents
were not going around with a dirty and stained ceiling or continue to stay in a dirty room. The DON stated it
was not good for the residents and could affect their wellbeing. During a concurrent interview and record
review on 2/9/2026 at 5 PM with the Administrator (ADM), the policy and procedure (P&P) titled Homelike
Environment, dated 6/2/2025, was reviewed. The ADM stated the P&P indicated residents are provided with
a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment. The P&P also indicated the facility staff, and
management maximizes, to the extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that reflect a personalized,
homelike setting included a clean, sanitary and orderly environment. The ADM stated the policy was not
followed.
