F 0921 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Many Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, resident, family, and staff interview, the facility failed to maintain a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment, free from biological growth (bio growth) for residents, staff, and the public, by not having clean surfaces; not repairing damaged walls in resident rooms and bathrooms; and not storing resident personal care items in a sanitary manner. Not maintaining a sanitary environment has the potential for cross contamination and promotes bio growth. The findings included: 1. On 6/7/21 at 12:00 p.m., mold was identified in the South Wing nourishment room by the Life Safety surveyor. The cabinet under the sink was in disrepair from extensive water damage with a large area of mold along the floor and walls. On 6/7/21 at 12:05 p.m., the Director of Maintenance and Administrator Consultant said the room would be closed until the cabinet was removed and the room cleaned. On 6/8/21 at 3:23 p.m., the Life Safety surveyor also identified mold in the open ceiling on the 100 unit outside resident rooms [ROOM NUMBER]. The ceiling tile was missing with the mold exposed to the hall below. On 6/7/21 at 3:23 p.m., in an interview, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)Staff H said there had been a leak outside room [ROOM NUMBER] and the ceiling tile had been missing for about 2 months with the area above exposed. She said the facility was aware as Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff J did write a maintenance request about it. On 6/7/21 at 3:33 p.m., in an interview, CNA Staff J said he worked on the 100 unit routinely and the ceiling near 107 had been weak for a while due to water leaks. The ceiling gave way a couple months prior when dripping during a heavy rain. CNA Staff J said he made out a maintenance request in the computer, at the time the tile came down. On 6/8/21 at 10:50 a.m., in an interview, Director of Maintenance said he was not aware of the ceiling issue on the 100 hall or any maintenance request but would check the computer. At 2:11 p.m., the Director of Maintenance said he found one work order in regard to a hole in the ceiling near room [ROOM NUMBER]. The work order was reviewed and indicated, The ceiling has a hole, looks bad. The note was dated 4/15/21. On 6/8/21 at 1:13 p.m., in an interview, Administrator Consultant said a remediation company would be there to mitigate the mold and put a plan in place. He said the facility started acting on this as soon as they became aware. Reviewed that staff reported the tile had been missing for 2 months from water damage and maintenance had been notified. There was no evidence the facility had taken action to ensure residents and staff were not exposed to mold spores prior to surveyor intervention on 6/7/21. The Life Safety surveyor requested the residents be moved from the proximity as the presence of mold, especially high concentrations, can exacerbate immune suppression, respiratory compromise, and allergies in residents, staff, and visitors. 2.
