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.

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.

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.
