Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to provide a clean environment in good repair for two of three units in the facility. This failure has the potential to affect all 16 residents residing on the first floor and all 43 residents residing in the facility. Findings include: 9/18/2024 at 9:30AM upon entering the facility for an onsite complaint investigation and walking to the basement with V1 (Administrator), surveyor observed lots of peeling paint on the walls leading to the therapy room and towards the bathroom in the basement. There are also two rusted pipes on the wall with peeling paint and a big hole on the wall leading to the ceiling inside the therapy room. 9/18/2024 at 11:18AM, surveyor conducted observation of the shower room on the first floor with V3 (CNA) and noted a large area with dark materials on the ceiling, the wall was noted to be peeling with holes, and there were patches of peeling paint all over the bathroom wall. V3 stated there is leakage from the second-floor bathroom when they are giving showers, she thinks that is where the dark deposits on the bathroom ceiling is coming from, V3 added that she has not really paid close attention to it, but it does not look good. 9/18/2024 at 12:03PM, V1 (Administrator) stated that the dark area in the ceiling of the first-floor bathroom is not mold, it is caused by leakage from the second-floor bathroom. V1 stated they usually have it (ceiling) painted but have not done so lately. V1 stated the last time fire safety came to the facility, they saw it and gave them verbal instruction to fix it. V1 stated that they are aware of the repairs and paint needed in the facility. V1 stated the owners repaired the roof to prevent leakage all over the facility. V1 stated they are currently dealing with a plumbing problem and the plan is to start with the inside repairs in November. 9/18/2024 at 12:05PM, V6 (Maintenance Director) was showing surveyor the dark deposit area in the first-floor bathroom ceiling, stating that he just scraped it, and it is not mold. V6 stated it is because of leakage from the second-floor bathroom. V6 added that fire safety told him to fix it when they were in the facility in March. V6 stated he has not had a chance to do it. Surveyor asked V6 if they ever tested the deposits for mold, and he (V6) stated no.
