#4, uses the bathroom in her room. She stated, I think so. She was asked if she had noticed or been made aware of any issues in their bathroom today. She stated, No. I just went into her bathroom, and it was ok. She was asked if she noticed any debris or splatter on the bathroom walls. She stated, No. The CNA or the housekeeper would probably clean it. Employee B, LPN was then asked to observe Resident #1's bathroom. When asked if she saw the brown debris on the walls. She stated, Yes, I see that now. When asked if she knew how long the brown splatter/debris has been on the walls in this bathroom. She stated, No, I don't know. On 2/29/24 at 2:20 PM, the Maintenance Director was interviewed. He was asked if he has any work orders for the bathroom belonging to Residents #1 and #4. He stated, No, I do not. He was asked to observe their bathroom. Upon entering the bathroom, he was asked if he had been made aware of the sink coming loose from the wall or the baseboard coming off the wall. He stated, No, ma'am, I have not. I may need to replace the baseboard because that has been taped before, and when it is open like that, it can attract roaches because of the glue inside. I did not know about the sink. A review of the facility's policy titled 5-Step Daily Room Cleaning (revised 10/25/16) revealed: Purpose: To teach Environmental Services employees the proper cleaning method to sanitize a patient room or any area in a health care facility. 3. Spot clean walls: Vertical surfaces are not completely wiped down daily- but must be spot cleaned daily. Walls- especially by the trash cans, light switches, and door handles- will need special attention. (Photographic evidence obtained) .
