On 9/6/23 at 10:15 AM, an interview was conducted with the Maintenance Director (MD). He stated his
department was responsible for upkeep of the facility physical plant. He stated he had been in his position
for about 7 months. He explained the process of reporting issues in resident rooms was, if a staff member
was informed by a resident/family or if they just noticed something themselves, they just tell him. The repair
was then completed by the maintenance director or his assistant. This writer and the maintenance director
went to room [ROOM NUMBER], knocked on the door, obtained permission to enter the resident room and
looked in the bathroom. Upon entering the room, the maintenance director stated the towel and basin
underneath the a/c was from the weekend. Upon entering the bathroom, he noted the toilet base, and
stated oh yes, we have numerous toilets like this, the seal is gone. We continued into the hallway to room
[ROOM NUMBER]. Knocked, and obtained permission to look around the room and bathroom from the
resident. The maintenance director stated there were many baseboards like that in the facility, falling off the
wall in resident rooms and bathrooms. He observed the pipe in the shower and stated, that is interesting,
oh I know how to fix this. He needed to step away from the tour to address a resident's need. The
maintenance director returned at 10:25 AM and stated he just spoke with the Regional Director of
Operations (RDO) who had a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for the physical plant. When asked to
see the PIP he stated, oh, it's not completed, RDO is starting one now. He stated he had been working on
these issues for a while now. He had nothing in writing or rooms written down with issues. He stated, Just
been going about it, we have a lot to do.
