Also, in the ceiling outside room [ROOM NUMBER], an access panel appeared to be hanging slightly open. During an interview, the Maintenance Director was informed on 07/18/22 at 12:50 PM about the leaking vents. He replied that the vents leak due to the humidity in the air. The surveyor explained that the leaking can be hazardous as it causes the floor to become wet, which could potentially cause falls for residents and staff. The Maintenance Director agreed and asked the housekeeping staff to place Wet Floor signs under the leaking vents, which was done. However, when the meal carts came to the units with the lunch time trays, the signs were moved off to the side. The surveyor informed the Maintenance Director about the signs being moved, and he asked the housekeeping staff to put them back and not move them until the air conditioners were serviced. The Maintenance Director informed the surveyor that he would call the air conditioner company to have service completed. The surveyor asked for a copy of the work orders submitted to the maintenance department for the last 72 hours, this was provided by the facility Administrator. Review of the work orders revealed no requests had been made by the staff regarding the leaking air conditioning vents prior to surveyor intervention.
