Residents Affected - Some
Findings Include:
On 05/01/25 at 8:50 AM, V3, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was walking down the 300 hallway pushing
a mechanical lift and having a difficult time keeping it straight. While V3 was pushing the lift the right leg
would swing out on its own without the use of the controls to move it. V3 would then use her foot to kick the
leg back into position.
On 05/01/25 at 9:07 AM, V4, CNA and V6, CNA Brought the mechanical lift down to R2's room. While
wheeling the lift to R2's room the right leg would move/swing out without V4 using the controls. V4 would
put the leg back in place with her foot as she was pushing the lift to the room. V4 and V6 placed R2 in the
medical lift and used the controls to lift R2 to put her to bed. While R2 was up in the lift V4 was pushing the
lift over the bed the leg swung open and V4 had to kick it back in place. V4 was struggling to get the
mechanical lift to the correct position over R2's bed so she could lower R2 into the bed. V4 said the
mechanical lift is hard to steer sometimes.
On 05/01/25 at 1:35 PM, R5 Minimum Data Set (MDS) documented she was cognitively intact said they
must use a mechanical lift to get her up out of bed. She said they need new ones because the old ones are
hard to push at times. R5 said it scares her when they are getting her up and they have to push it (the lift)
real hard to move it. She said it seems like it tilts. R5 said sometimes the CNAs must push it with their feet
to get the wheels to turn and she said she is scared they will get her up in the air and the lift will quit on
them.
On 05/05/25 at 9:00 AM, R6 MDS documented she was cognitively intact said there are times she doesn't
get up out of bed due to the mechanical lift battery is dead, they are having trouble with the lift's legs, there
isn't enough slings for everyone, or there isn't enough staff in the building to get her up. She said she didn't
get up for at least seven days because of all of that. R6 was asked about the word BAD being written on
one of the lift legs and R6 said, kind of gives it away don't it. She said she did get up yesterday and when
they put her back to bed, she asked them to leave the sling in her room so she would have it for today, but
they came in and got it to use on someone else. R6 said when they are getting her up in the mechanical lift
it feels like she isn't in it right and she has to grab the lift to keep her balance.
On 05/01/25 at 8:53 AM, this surveyor questioned V3, CNA about the mechanical lift's leg swinging out the
way it did. V3 said no, it shouldn't. V3 said it has been like that for a few weeks probably.

She was also asked about the word BAD written on the right leg and she said it was probably wrote to let
people know it was bad. V3 also stated she thinks the control has a short circuit in it because sometimes
the lift doesn't want to move up or down. She said maintenance has been notified but she doesn't
remember when. V3 said the other lift they have the leg does the same thing.
On 05/01/25 at 9:00 AM, V4, CNA said the leg on the mechanical lift is not supposed to open on its own
like it does and the word BAD written on the leg is because it (the leg) is not staying closed and she isn't
sure how long the lift has been that way. V4 said the mechanical lift can be hard to steer sometimes also.
On 05/01/25 at 9:04 AM, V6, CNA stated the leg on the mechanical lift has been like that for a while, but
she isn't sure how long. She said it isn't supposed to open up on its own and the reason they have the word
BAD written on the leg is to let them know it's not staying closed.
On 05/01/25 at 9:12 AM, V7, CNA said the mechanical lift is not working correctly and maintenance is just
waiting on a piece to come in.
On 05/05/25 at 9:24 AM, V14, CNA stated they only have two mechanical lifts in the building. She said one
lift they have to keep it on the charger because the battery doesn't hold a charge and the other lift, they had
the legs were not staying in. V14 stated the mechanical lifts have been that way since she started working
at the facility a few weeks ago. V14 said when they have an issue with anything they will put in a work order
with maintenance, and they will take care of it.
On 05/05/25 at 10:45, AM V1, Administrator said when someone has an issue with the mechanical lifts,
they do a work order and put it on the maintenance office door and describe what is going on. She said
maintenance will write what they did to correct the issue and then he will give the slip to her when he is
finished fixing the issue. V1 said she wasn't made aware there were any issues with the mechanical lifts,
and they don't have a work order for any of the lifts.
The facility's policy Transfer- Manual Gait Belt and Mechanical Lifts, undated, documented Purpose In order
to protect the safety and well being of the staff and residents, and to promote quality care, this facility will
use mechanical lifting devices for the lifting and movement of residents. It further documented 4.
Mechanical lift equipment shall undergo routine maintenance checks by the nursing and maintenance staff
to ensure that equipment remains in good working order.

Findings Include:
On 05/01/25 at 9:35 AM, The men's bathroom on the 300 hall was inspected at this time. In the shower
area between some of the tiles was black fuzzy, rough in texture spots. In the entrance to the shower there
was an area where the tile was missing, and the wall was crumbling.
On 05/01/25 at 9:40 AM, The women's bathroom on the 100 hallway was inspected at this time. Upon
entering the bathroom there was a strong smell of bleach. Behind the entrance door there was a green
substance on most of the wall. V8, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was questioned about the substance
behind the bathroom door. V8 stated I'm not gonna lie, it looks like mold. In the shower area of the
bathroom on the wall opposite from the shower head, in both corners there was black fuzzy spots on some
of the tiles/baseboards. In the corner at the entrance on the side with the shower head there was black
spots on the tile. Under the sinks in the bathroom there was a light brown and green area on the wall. After
being in the bathroom for a few minutes this surveyor's eyes were burning due to the strong bleach smell.
On 05/01/25 at 9:47 AM, The men's bathroom on the 100 hall was inspected at this time. When entering the
bathroom there was a strong bleach smell. Both toilets in this bathroom had been used (both had urine left
in them) and had not been flushed.
On 05/01/25 at 10:00 AM, The men's bathroom on the 200 hall was inspected. In the shower on the back
wall there was green/black fuzzy areas noted to the baseboard.
On 05/01/25 at 9:15 AM, R3 who is cognitively intact said she only takes a shower once a week because all
the walls in the shower are covered with mold. She said they will spray something on the walls and wipe it
off but housekeeping doesn't clean the bathroom so she will wear shower shoes when she takes a shower.
On 05/01/25 at 10:10 AM, R4 who is cognitively intact said he has seen mold in the showers and on the
floors in the showers. He said he has told someone about the mold.
On 05/01/25 at 1:35 PM, R5 who is cognitively intact said it stinks when you go in the shower room. She
said it smells like mold in there and she has seen mold in the shower room.
On 05/05/25 at 10:05 AM, V11, Housekeeping Supervisor said he hasn't seen any mold in the building, and
he tries to keep it down. He said when someone tells him about any mold, he will jump right on it and clean
it with a little bleach and water because that is the only thing that will get rid of it.
On 05/05/25 at 10:45 AM, V1, Administrator said she would expect housekeeping to clean really good with
whatever cleaning material they use if they were to see mold.

On 05/05/25 at 1:19 PM, V14, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) said they have been dealing with mold in
the facility for a long time. She said she has worked there for 15 years, and they have always had an issue
with mold. She said some of the staff have quit because the mold makes them sick and some of them will
go home sick with a headache because of the mold. V14 said one of the bathrooms/shower rooms was
shut down for almost a year for them to remodel it but it still smells like mold when you go in there.

The facility's policy Mold and Mildew, undated, documented Policy Statement: Mold and mildew growth can
occur in areas of humid or often damp areas like shower stalls, kitchens and restrooms. Surface mildew
and mold can be mitigated by ensuring these areas are routinely deep cleaned. If areas of mildew or mold
are found, these areas must be immediately cleaned with proper mold and mildew cleaners, ensuring all
areas are free of mildew or mold.
