Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure clean linen rooms and common shower rooms were maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. This affected 25 (#43, #33, #220, #24, #15, #48, #400, #219, #45, #78, #51, #97, #220, #225, #107, #44, #79, #221, #112, #113, #80, #269, #270, #114, and #63) of 112 facility residents. Findings include: Environmental tour on 05/12/25 from 2:06 P.M. to 2:37 P.M. with Maintenance Assistant (MA) #806 and Housekeeping and Laundry Supervisor (HLS) #620 revealed the floor of the 300-unit clean linen room was covered with old, dried spills, scuffs marks, paper scraps, straw covers, large dust bunnies, and multiple Chetos. Observation of the 300 hall shower room revealed a toilet, sink, shower area, bathtub, storage cabinet, bedside commode, and a shower bed. A tee shirt was on the floor. A cigarette butt, pillow without pillow case, two plastic parts of a bedside commode, a fitted sheet that was wet with a large reddish brown stain and when lifted a strong urine odor was noted, a multicolored sweater, three wet wash cloths, a bottle of body wash, deodorant, and a bottle of peri wash were inside the bathtub and beneath the items was loose black debris and dried unidentifiable liquid spills. HLS #620 and MA #806 indicated the bath tub was not functional and never used. Interview with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #808 on 05/12/25 at approximately 2:15 P.M. revealed after showering a resident in the 300 unit shower room she had to return the resident to her room quickly. CNA #808 threw the fitted bed sheet, wash cloths, body wash, deodorant and peri wash in the bathtub and then went on break. CNA #808 said she had planned to come back to clean. She indicated the bathtub was not used. Further observation revealed the shower room floor was not wet to indicate a resident was recently showered, nor was the room filled with humidity. Interview on 05/13/25 at 8:40 A.M. with CNA #654 revealed housekeeping was responsible for cleaning the shower rooms. CNA #654 thought the shower rooms were cleaned twice daily but was not sure. Interview on 05/13/25 at 8:45 A.M. with Housekeeper #625 revealed she was assigned to clean the 300 unit. Housekeeper #625 normally started at the front of the unit and worked her way through to the shower room. The shower room was cleaned everyday, sometimes twice a day if needed. Housekeeper #625 said she rechecked the shower room throughout the day; however, yesterday (05/12/15) she had not made it back to check a second time. Housekeeper #625 was unsure whose responsibility it was to ensure the bath tub was cleaned and maintained in a sanitary manner so she completed the task. Interview on 05/13/25 at 8:58 A.M. with Regional Registered Nurse #900 revealed there was not a specific policy and procedure or job description related to keeping the shower rooms in a clean and sanitary manner. Because the bathtub in the shower room on the 300 hall had not been functional for several years the staff were using it as a storage area. The CNAs were responsible for cleaning and sanitizing the areas of the shower room which were used. All residents residents on the 300 unit used the shower room. Review of the facility census dated 05/12/25 revealed Residents #43, #33, #220, #24, #15, #48, #400, #219, #45, #78, #51, #97, #220, #225, #107, #44, #79, #221, #112, #113, #80, #269, #270, #114, and #63 resided on the 300 halls.
