Residents Affected - Some
provided the maintenance work order report for the month of 10/2023. The report identified the room
number, date of job open, the closed date and status. The following was revealed to include but not limited
to:
1. Work order 9850 - room [ROOM NUMBER] Open date 10/4/2023, Closed date 10/5/2023. The report
also revealed; wall needs attention the high wall needs attention. It is discolored, wall adjoining wall. Report
work order status was reviewed as closed.
2. Work order 9860 - The Bathroom room [ROOM NUMBER] Open date 10/4/2023, Closed date 10/5/2023.
The report also revealed; the wall behind the toilet is discolored mush-like both doors need to be painted.
Report work order status was reviewed as closed.
3. Work order 9862 - room [ROOM NUMBER] Open date 10/4/2023, Closed date 10/5/2023. The report
also revealed; Hole in the wall to left of A/C. Report work order status was reviewed as closed.

also revealed; Touch up paint needed to right of A/C. Report work order status was reviewed as closed.
On 10/31/2023 at 11:30 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director. He revealed there
were guardian angel rounds conducted by specific employees for each room. If there were things identified
that needed repair, staff would put in a work order through the [electronic work order system], and the
Maintenance Director would follow up with those concerns based on a priority status. The Maintenance
Director confirmed the four job orders related to room [ROOM NUMBER], which included job orders 9850,
9860, 9862, and 9863. He revealed the jobs were completed by his staff and marked as status complete, as
of 10/5/2023, which was twenty-six days ago from today, 10/31/2023. The Maintenance Director did not
remember exactly what the job orders for that room entailed. He could not speak to the wall and baseboard
saturation and biogrowth, nor could he speak to a ceiling leak and water stained ceiling. The Maintenance
Director reviewed the work order sheet and confirmed none of the work orders were related to the current
observations in the room with saturated walls, biogrowth, and a leaky ceiling. The Maintenance Director
confirmed it had not rained in the area for over a week and confirmed the areas of concern in room [ROOM
NUMBER] should have been brought to his attention by the guardian angel staff, so he could have taken
care of it immediately.
On 10/31/2023 at 1:20 p.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant, by way of the Nursing Home Administrator,
provided the Maintenance Service policy and procedure dated 2001.
The policy stated; Maintenance service shall be provided to all areas of the building, grounds, and
equipment.
The policy interpretation and implementation section revealed;
1. The Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining the buildings, grounds, and equipment in a
safe and operable manner at all times.
2. Functions of maintenance personnel include, but not limited to;
(a.) Maintaining the building in compliance with current federal, state, and local laws, regulation and
guidelines.
