F 0921 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public. Based on observation and interview the facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for one of one resident laundry room and one of one resident adaptive equipment storage room. Residents Affected - Some Findings included: A tour of the laundry room was conducted on 5/1/24 at 12:00 p.m. with the Environmental Services Director (EVS). The laundry room was in a building separate from the nursing home but still on the same grounds as the facility. The washing and drying area were separated by a wall and door. There were three washing machines and three dryers. A laundry aide was observed to be in the drying area, wearing a gown, hanging residents' personal clothing onto a rack. The EVS Director said one dryer door did not stay closed while running, if there was a large load in it. Directly behind the washing machine was broken sheet rock with a large hole and debris on the ground. On the other side of the large hole, behind the washing machine, was deteriorated sheet rock and the debris on the ground behind the washing machine was visible from the other side of the wall through the deteriorated sheet rock. Directly next to the washing machine was more deteriorated sheet rock with rust colored edging on the bottom of the wall. An interview was conducted with the EVS Director at the time of the observation and he said the wall has been that way for about seven to eight months. He stated the Maintenance Director was made aware of it and has not fixed it because they said we were going to get an industrial washing machine. During the observation, the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) arrived in the laundry room and was interviewed. He said the wall damage must have been from when the washing machines broke and there was a flood. He said the wall has been that way since before he started in June of 2023. Also, in the building housing the laundry room was a storage room with resident wheelchairs, positioning devices, walkers, and shower chairs. The walls of the storage room were not secured to the wall frames leaving large open areas to the outside. The walls were also deteriorated leaving large holes and an opening to the outside towards the floor of the building. During this observation an interview was conducted with the Director of Rehabilitation, and she said the equipment is used by residents when they need it, and this is where they store the equipment. An interview was conducted on 5/1/24 at 12:38 p.m. with the Maintenance Director. He said the only thing he knows about the laundry room was there is money set aside to tear it down and rebuild but he does not know when that is going to happen. An interview was conducted on 5/1/24 at 1:20 p.m. with the Maintenance Director. He said, there is a budget on the laundry room building to tear down, but they are looking at financing at this point and they do not have a hard start date. A safe, and clean environment policy was requested and the facility did not have one to provide.
