Multiple trash receptacles and soiled linen receptacles in the hallway where R8 and R9 reside were full, and some old meal trays were sitting on top of the trash receptacles. 2.

On April 21, at 10:25 AM, R4 was walking in the hallway outside of her room. R4 had multiple bed blankets stacked up on her walker as she was walking towards her room.

Once R4 entered her room, she took the blankets she was carrying on her walker and placed the folded blankets on almost every surface in her room, including the heating/air conditioning unit on the wall. The garbage can in R4's room was overflowing, and small medication cups were littered on the floor of her room next to the garbage can. 5. On April 21, 2025 at 2:15 PM, R5 said she is the Resident Council President, and has resided at the facility for many years.

After each meal, the housekeeping staff has to go to each resident room to sweep. We have three housekeepers here right now to clean the resident rooms, and a person to clean the hallways, and help me with maintenance. We clean/buff the hallway floors two times a month. It was done three weeks ago. We do a deep clean of one room per week. On April 21, 2025 at 1:35 PM, V10 (Housekeeper) said she was responsible for cleaning resident rooms only, and was not assigned to clean resident hallways. On April 22, 2025 at 10:53 AM, V1 (Administrator) and V3 (Housekeeping Director) said the facility does a deep cleaning of one resident room per week, so each room gets deep cleaned one time per year. V3 corrected his previous statement and said the facility has 56 resident rooms, not 52 as stated on April 21, 2025. V1 (Administrator) said the facility does not have documentation to show each resident room is deep cleaned at least quarterly as shown in the facility's policy. V3 continued to say the facility has one person assigned to clean the hallways and empty hallway trash receptacles, another person to clean the public restroom, showers, internet café area, and dining room, and assist with maintenance, and a total of three housekeepers, each assigned to one of the three resident hallways. The housekeepers assigned to a block of rooms in a resident hallway are responsible to clean inside the resident rooms, including sweeping the floors in those resident rooms. V3 said the staff member (V11) assigned to clean the hallway floors did not work on April 20 or 21, 2025. V12 (Housekeeper) was expected to clean the hallway floors as well as his other duties of picking up hallway trash, cleaning the public restroom, showers, internet café area, and dining room. V1 (Administrator) said V13 (Housekeeper) has taken a medical leave and only works at the facility sporadically. The facility does not have documentation to show monthly cleaning schedules for quarterly deep cleaning of each resident room. The facility does not have documentation to show the use of audit tools to ensure compliance with the facility policy.
