which confirmed the following observations:
B Unit, room [ROOM NUMBER]'s bathroom had two bedpans exposed, while room [ROOM NUMBER] had
three empty basins and four bedpans stored behind the toilet. room [ROOM NUMBER] had the entire
baseboard removed and stored underneath the sink. The floors were being redone, with tiles missing near
the toilet. Additionally, dirty linen was found behind the toilet, and there was a strong odor of feces in the
restroom.
The hallway across from the activity room, leading into the C wing resident area, had an exposed electrical
baseboard heater approximately 30 feet long that was not properly covered.
An observation in C Wing confirmed that Shower 1, located before the nursing unit, was cluttered with
various items. The sink was filled with random objects, including a dirty hairbrush with brown hair, multiple
briefs, single-use packs of zinc cream, a box of gloves, scissors, random socks, bottles of Vitamin D & A
and cream, personal nightgowns, a sweatshirt, razors in a bucket, shoes on the floor, and boxes of briefs.
The entire shower room was scattered with these items.
The second shower in C Wing was being used as a storage space. It contained a sink with pink and brown
substance, a standard mattress, a bariatric wheelchair equipped with an air mattress and pump, a gerichair, a commode, and a large plastic bag filled with clothing. The floor was cluttered with shoes, socks, and
a large floor mattress. The shower was completely filled with these items, rendering it unusable as a
functional shower. These observations were confirmed by the unit manager, Employee E1.
