F 0921 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some On 3/22/25 at 10:40AM V6 (Assistant Administrator) was asked about missing tiles in R12's room. V6 said I don't know what the plan is for flooring. At 10:44AM V6 said if R3's window curtains were up, we could close them, but it is not up (the hanging curtain mentioned above). V6 opened the hot water faucet in R3's bathroom and saw the water trickle. V6 saw the missing floor tiles in the bathroom. On 3/22/25 at 10:46AM V6 saw R4-R7's room without window curtains and said all rooms should have window curtains. On 3/22/25 at 10:48AM V3, Housekeeping, said all rooms are swept, mopped, and bathrooms cleaned every day. V3 said I have the 2nd floor until 1:00PM, the other housekeeper called off. V3 said when we do a deep cleaning of a room, we take the window curtains down to wash them. V3 said he has not gotten to clean any rooms on R10's side. On 3/22/25 V4 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) observed R10's bathroom. V4 said it is not acceptable, housekeeping is responsible to clean it. V4 said we would clean the toilet before using it. On 3/22/25 at 11:59AM via phone interview, V7 (Housekeeping Director) said the resident rooms are to be cleaned daily. V7 said we should have two housekeepers on each floor. V7 was asked if the housekeepers are expected to use water from the resident sinks to clean. V7 said yes, they need the sink to wet the cloths. V7 said housekeeping should report when a water faucet needs repair. V7 said I take down the window curtains and wash them when we deep clean a room. V7 said we have extra and enough window curtains for all rooms. V7 said I can get curtains from the empty floor and use them in a needed room. V7 said if a curtain falls then housekeeping should fix it. There are communication sheets at each nurses' station for us to let maintenance know if something needs to be fixed, like faucets. On 3/22/25 at 1:17PM V9 (Maintenance Director) said work order forms are kept at each end of the hall. V9 said we pick them up or staff calls us to let us know of something that needs fixed. V9 said we check daily for hot water, cold water, and air temperatures. V9 said we can replace furniture with furniture from unoccupied floor/room. V9 said I was aware tiles need to be replaced. V9 said there are no tiles here, none are available in the facility to replace. V9 said the CNAs are supposed to let us know if furniture is damaged or if there are plumbing issues, because they would see it during patient care. V9 said we don't check every room everyday for plumbing problems, I have never checked that room. V9 said I don't keep the work request, we take care of the issue and don't keep the paper. On 3/22/25 at 2:08PM V6 was asked if the staff have a responsibility to make sure the residents have a clean and homelike environment. V6 responded absolutely. V6 was asked if missing curtains, missing floor tiles, feces smeared on toilet seats, and no hot/warm water available meets the criteria of clean and homelike environment. V6 responded absolutely not. The facility resident rights booklet page 3 states Your facility must be safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike. 145714 Page 2 of 2
