**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to provide a functional sanitary environment for
one (R1) of three residents reviewed functional and comfortable environment.
Findings include:
R1 is a [AGE] year-old resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses including but not limited to:
diabetes, congested heart failure, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, acute kidney disease, osteomyelitis, right
leg amputated on 10/7/2024 and left leg amputated on 2/22/2025.

feet with two turns: Once seated in a wheelchair/scooter, the ability to wheel at least 50 feet and make two
turns with Partial/moderate assistance.
On 7/8/2025 at 2:41 PM, R1 said, my bathroom sink has been leaking for two weeks and staff placed a
gray bucket under the sick because it was leaking on the floor. I notified the staff to call maintenance to get
it fixed, but nothing was done. I cannot remember who I had notified. R1 accompanied the surveyor to the
room. A gray bucket was ½ full of dirty water under the sink was observed. When the faucet is
opened and the water is running, a few drips are observed dripping into the gray bucket under the sink.
On 7/8/2025 at 3:43 PM, I asked V5 (Wound Care Nurse) to walk to R1's room to check the sink when V6
(Maintenance Director) was already in the room and started to fix the sink. V6 said, that once I get notified
of anything that is not working or broken, I usually can fix it right away. I was just notified that the sink was
leaking, and I am fixing it now.
On 7/8/2025 at 4:38 PM V1 (Administrator)said, I was not notified of the sink leaking until today and staff
can add a work order online and the maintenance director checks it daily and can fix broken equipment or
leakages like the sink. I do not know why the staff did not report it.
On 7/9/2025 at 2:30 PM V2 (Director of Nursing) said, I was not aware that R1's sink was leaking for two
weeks, staff can add a work order for V6 (Maintenance Director) to fix. I will provide education for the staff
to add work orders as soon as they are aware of anything requiring repair.
On 7/9/2025 at 2:03 PM V1(Administrator) provided a policy titled, Work Orders, Maintenance review date
