Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observations, resident and staff interviews, the facility failed to maintain an environment that was
clean and in good repair in the vending area leading to the smoke area. The facility also failed to ensure the
wall near Resident #31's bed was in good repair. This directly affected one resident and had the potential to
affect an undetermined number of residents that may utilize the vending machine areas. The facility census
was 65.
Findings include:
Observation on 08/02/22 at 8:44 A.M., of the wall around the air conditioner (AC) unit near Resident #31's
bed revealed it was in disrepair.
Interview at this time, Resident #31 stated it had been that way for a long time.
Observation and interview on 08/02/22 at 1:38 P.M., with Director of Maintenance (DM) #470 of Resident
#31's wall around the AC unit verified the wall was in disrepair and further observation revealed a wire
coming out wall on the lower right side.
Observation 08/03/22 at 3:26 P.M., with Housekeeping Director (HD) #479 of the vending machine area
that leads to the outside smoke area, revealed several dead bugs on the light fixture above, dead bugs on
the curtains, and the black carpet in front of the doorway was dirty.
Interview at this time, with HD #479 verified the observation.
Observation on 08/04/22 at 8:00 A.M., with HD #479 of the vending area that leads to the smoke area
revealed the dead bugs were cleaned off the light fixture and curtain except the top portion of curtain there
were still dead bugs. Also observed the wall to the left were two areas near the molding where the plaster
was crumbling with holes. Near this wall were three Hoyer lifts and an old looking, dusty buffer.
Interview at this time, with HD #479 verified the observation and stated he had to get permission to throw
out the buffer and would inform DM #470 of the holes in the wall.
