Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and the public.
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure that the large community shower room on the fourth floor East-Wing is maintained in a sanitary manner free of drain/sewer back-up. This failure has the potential to affect all 37 residents on the fourth floor East-Wing.
Findings include: On 10/7/24 at 10am after the entrance conference, V1(Administrator) presented the census that shows as follows: Fourth Floor Unit A - 19 residents; Fourth Floor Unit B - 18 residents; total of 37 residents on the East wing of the fourth floor. On 10/7/24 at 10:40 am, with V10 (Assistant Director of Nursing), observed the East-Wing Community shower room with a wet towel covering the black liquid oozing out of the drain. Surveyor inquired from V10 if it was okay to have the drain like that; V7 stated They used the towel to cover it because they could not use it. I will notify maintenance. The Maintenance logbook did not document anything about the clogged shower room floor drain. On 10/9/24 at 11:22am, V12 (Maintenance Director) stated Somebody told me about it yesterday. I moved the towel away and used a wire to clean out the debris out of the drain. At this time, V12 presented the Maintenance logbook that shows that the drain issue was logged in after the surveyor prompted staff. The facility's job description titled Building Manager states in part: Work involves the coordination of safety and maintenance needs to ensure a comfortable and safe environment. The facility's policy titled Facility Maintenance Request states in part: Staff will put all non-emergency requests for maintenance services in writing on the maintenance and housekeeping log. #4 states: Building manager will check binder and update form periodically during the workday.
