Based on observations, interviews and record review, the facility failed to maintain a safe and properly functional environment, as evidenced by not securing 2 of 2 'Dirty Utility Rooms, located on the [NAME] and East units, in an attempt to prevent residents from entering the rooms.

The findings included: On 07/11/22 at 11:15 AM, it was noted that the Dirty Utility room on the [NAME] unit was not secured. It was also noted that there was a key hanging on a hook underneath a sign to the left of the door. Staff were observed entering and exiting the room without initiating the lock and by simply turning the handle and applying minimal force to open the door. Once inside of the room, there were numerous carts with trash/refuse, dirty linens and Biohazardous waste items. There was also a counter that had a jagged surface on the underside as well as unused plumbing protruding from the wall. During an interview, on 07/13/22 at 9:15 AM Staff H, Laundry, and Staff I, Laundry, were observed entering and exiting the Dirty Utility Room without securing the door. When asked about the policy for securing the soiled/dirty utility rooms, Staff H replied, that's okay, the key is hanging right there in case you accidentally lock the door. During an interview, on 07/13/22 at 9:32 AM with Staff J, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), when asked about the soiled/dirty utility rooms not being secured, Staff J replied, The lock is broken, they ordered a new combination lock like the one on the other doors. During an interview, on 07/13/22 at 9:45 AM with Staff K, Registered Nurse (RN), when asked about the soiled/dirty utility rooms not being secured, Staff K replied, it's supposed to be locked. It is usually locked. On 07/13/22 at 9:57 AM, in the company of the Infection Preventionist (IP), it was noted that the Dirty Utility Room on the East unit was not securely closed. During an interview with the Infection Preventionist, he stated that Maintenance had to cut the lock on Monday (07/11/22) as it did not work. It was noted that the door was ajar and was opened by this surveyor by simply applying minimal force to push the door open. Once inside of the room, it was noted that there were carts that contained soiled/dirty linens and items, containers of trash/refuse and a 'biohazardous' container, as well as a counter mounted reach-in cooler (that was empty) and some unused plumbing protruding from the wall. During an interview, on 07/13/22 at 10:18 AM with the Maintenance Director, while on the [NAME] unit, when asked about the locks not working on the soiled/dirty utility room doors, the Maintenance Director replied, I just found out about it a few days ago. I called 'Doors R Us' yesterday and they will be out to fix the door next week. The code lock broke and I got them in yesterday (visually confirmed that the new lock that required a code to initiate and open was on site and in the Maintenance Office).
