Observation on 07/22/24 at 11:20 A.M. of the laundry room with Housekeeping District Manager (HDM) #611 revealed a pile of soiled linens placed on the floor in front of the middle washer which was not functioning and filled with washed linen. There were two wall mounted fans on in the clean laundry area, one blowing air toward the dryers and the other blowing air toward the folded and hanging linens/clothes. Both fans were visibly dirty and had lint, dirt, and debris buildup on the back and front fans. Interview at the time of the observation with HDM #611 verified the findings.

During the interview, LW #606 bent down and picked up a small thin blue sheet from the bottom shelf and swung it over the clothing then adjusted it to try and cover it. The sheet contacted the clothes and covered the width of the rack but only covered the upper half portion of the hanging clothes. The lower shelf also remained uncovered. LW #606 explained the sheet was used daily to cover the clothes, but she had forgotten to put it back over the clothes during delivery. LW #606 confirmed there was no covered linen/clothing cart available to use for delivering clean laundry. Observations on 07/23/24 at 10:43 during an environment tour with Maintenance Director (MD) #474 revealed Resident #24's bathroom had soiled linen on the floor. The adjoining bathroom shared by Residents #1, #40 and #73 had two large biohazardous red bags stored inside. One red bag was not closed and contained a large amount of soiled linen. On top of the other red bag there was a crumpled soiled disposable gown so it could not be determined if the bag was opened or closed or what was inside the red colored bag. Interview at the time of the observation with MD #474 verified the findings. Review of the facility policy, Laundry and Bedding, Soiled, revised September 2022, revealed soiled laundry and bedding was handled, transported and processed according to best practices for infection prevention and control. Clean linen was protected from dust and soiling during transport and storage to ensure cleanliness. This deficiency represents non-compliance investigated under master Complaint Number OH00155690 and Complaint Number OH00155647 and is a recite to the annual and complaint survey completed on 05/02/24.
