restroom. She called another staff member to come to assist and then picked up the blanket and towel that
were on the floor. Employee C, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), was located in a resident's room on the
hall. She exited the resident's room with a blanket and placed it on the hall floor outside of the restroom
door as Employee A had instructed her to do. When asked, Employee C stated they had been using linen to
dry up the water. She stated the issue had persisted off and on for a while. She stated it was supposed to
have been fixed on Monday [11/3/2024] and it was still leaking. Employee A was asked who used this

issue to anyone. She denied awareness of any ongoing plumbing issues. She stated she would report any
concerns to the nurse. She added that the facility does have a system where work orders can be submitted,
however, she had not been trained on how to do it.
On 11/6/2024 at 11:48 am, an interview was conducted with Employee C. She stated the restroom on the
[NAME] Wing had been out of order intermittently for approximately two weeks. She confirmed the restroom
was for resident use only. When asked if the restroom was currently out of order. She replied, normally
there would be a sign on the door if it was out of order, so I guess they're [the residents] using it. When
asked about the repairs needed in the restroom, she stated that the toilet was broken and that water was
coming up from the tiled floor.
On 11/6/2024 at 12:29 pm, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director. He stated that all
work orders should be submitted into the TELS system which sends alerts to his personal phone. He stated
that a work order could be submitted by any staff member and he had a list of vendors used for
maintenance services. He explained that once a maintenance issue had been identified, he had to contact
the corporate office to provide an estimate for repairs verses the estimate to replace. He stated he hadn't
seen anyone come in to repair the sinks since he'd been employed at the facility nor had he seen any
estimates. He stated he was not aware of any current concerns with the plumbing or water leaks at the
time.
A tour of the facility was then conducted with the Maintenance Director. During a visit of the East Wing, he
stated he wasn't aware of any concerns on this wing. Upon entering the shower room on this wing, he
observed the sink present and stated that it needed to be repaired. After turning on the shower and
observing the leak from the neck of the shower connected to the wall, he stated that it also needed to be
repaired. Upon entering the [NAME] Wing, he stated that restroom was repaired on Monday [11/4/2024].
The towels and blanket were observed once again on the floor outside of the restroom door. He stated he
was not aware that it was broken again. He was taken to the resident rooms (#107, #200, and #308) where
he observed the sinks hanging from the walls. He commented that he had not inspected the entire facility
and that he would repair the sinks. He referred to the building as dated and stated that it would take time to
make all of the necessary repairs.
On 11/6/2024 at 1:39 pm, a follow up interview was conducted with Employee A. She stated she typically
worked on the [NAME] Wing. She stated maintenance issues were reported in the TELS system, an
electronic reporting system. If something needed to be done immediately, she would report it in TELS and
also send a group text message to the department heads, which included the Administrator. She confirmed
her knowledge of the leak/flooding in the restroom on the [NAME] Wing. She stated that the area was
usually wet adding, especially when it rains. She stated someone came in on Monday [11/4/2024] to repair
the toilet and that she had not seen the toilet replaced. She stated the issue was not resolved and that all
residents were able to use that restroom not just the residents on that wing.
On 11/6/2024 at 2:05 pm, an interview was conducted with Employee F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
She stated she contacted the Maintenance Director when there were maintenance issues. She used the
computer reporting system for maintenance requests, however, she had been having issues logging into it.
So, it was easier for her to call the Maintenance Director. She was aware of the issues with the resident
restroom on the [NAME] Wing and was advised that it had been repaired, and that now it was broken again.
She stated she had not reported this and said, This is an old building. There are always problems.
A record review of Plumbing/Electric invoices provided by the facility revealed the following.
