Residents Affected - Some
Honor the resident's right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment, including but not limited
to receiving treatment and supports for daily living safely.
Based on facility policy review, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to
maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and home-like environment in common areas and one of three resident
rooms observed (South and East Hallways, Nurses Station, and Resident 1's room).
Findings include:
Review of facility policy, titled Cleaning & Disinfecting Environmental Surfaces last revised October 1, 2017,
read, in part, Environmental surfaces will be disinfected (or cleaned) on a regular basis (e.g., daily, three
times per week) and when surfaces are visibly soiled.
Observation in the South Hallway on March 31, 2025, at 10:41 AM, revealed three ceiling tiles with ring
circle stains on them.
Observation at the Nurse's Station on March 31, 2025, at 10:44 AM, revealed a large ceiling tile to the left
of the station with a large brown ring circle stain.
Observation in the East Hallway on March 31, 2025, at 10:46 AM, revealed one ceiling tile with a large
brown ring circle stain on it, and a brown liquid stain that was dripping down the side of the wall. Further
observation down the hallway revealed three ceiling tiles with ring circle stains on them.
During an interview with Employee 1 (Maintenance Director) on March 31, 2025, at 11:12 AM, he revealed
maintenance staff conduct environmental rounds and room checks throughout the facility on a regular basis
to identify issues that require repair or replacement. He further revealed the facility has issues with the roof
leaking during periods of heavy rain, and that staff should have identified the soiled ceiling tiles and
replaced them, and the soiled wall should have been cleaned.
Observation in Resident 1's room on March 31, 2025, at 11:23 AM, revealed one ceiling tile at the entrance
to the room with a brown ring circle stain, and two large ceiling tiles in the middle of the room stained with
brown liquid.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on March 31, 2025, at 12:42 PM, he revealed he
would expect the ceiling tiles to be identified as soiled and replaced, and environmental surfaces to be
cleaned when soiled.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on employee handbook review, review of select facility documentation, and staff interviews, it was
determined that the facility failed to ensure that nurse aide performance evaluations were completed at
least once every 12 months for three of five nurse aides reviewed (Employees 2, 3, and 4).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings include:
Based on facility document, titled Employee Handbook effective July 1, 2022, read, in part, All employees
will be subject to a written annual rating and evaluation by the department supervisor based on his/her
employment anniversary date to ensure that strengths, areas for improvement, and job goals for the next
review period have been clearly communicated. An employee's evaluation will be reviewed with the
employee by the supervisor at the time of presentation for the employee's signature.
Review of select facility documentation revealed a list of nurse aide's that had worked at the facility for
greater than a year. Employee 2 had a hire date of January 5, 2024; Employee 3 had a hire date of April 15,
2023; and Employee 4 had a hire date of July 1, 2022.
During an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on March 31, 2025, at 9:54 AM, he
revealed he was unable to locate the most recent annual evaluations for Employees 2, 3, and 4. He further
revealed the facility recently switched electronic systems for their employee evaluations, so if any of the files
hadn't been printed before the new system took over they were no longer able to be accessed.
Interview with Employee 2 at the facility on March 31, 2025, at 11:48 AM, revealed she had not yet received
an annual evaluation.
During an interview with the NHA on March 31, 2025, at 12:44 PM, he revealed he would expect annual
evaluations to be completed annually and available for review.
