The moist air from the air conditioning and heat deteriorates the painted vents. The Administrator indicated the vents are cleaned when rooms are deep cleaned. It involves taking the vent panel off and cleaning the filter beneath the vents. The soiled air conditioning vents affected all 137 residents in the facility. The facility did not provide a cleaning schedule. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under Complaint Number OH00144368.
