On 7/27/22 at 9:37AM, water was leaking from the air conditioning unit in R54's room, which caused a
puddle of water on the floor going under the bed. Surveyor observed towel soaked with water placed at the
base of the air conditioner. V10, Licensed Practical Nurse/LPN was showed problem in R54's room. V10

one reported to her there was leaking water from the air conditioner. V10 said, (R14) always carries a towel,
she probably placed the towel to absorb the water.

condenser. He said the drainage pipe was clogged, so the water instead of draining outside, it drains back
to the inside, causing a puddle of water on the floor. He said it has had the same problem since last week.

so he could repair it immediately.
