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 observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents had the right to a
safe clean comfortable and homelike environment for 5 of 10 residents (Resident #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, and
#10) reviewed for environmental concerns.
Resident #5 And Resident #6 had a black substance in their rooms that the families felt were suspicious of
being mold.
Resident #6, # 7, #8, #9, and #10's rooms had broken lights, holes in their walls, broken showers and
maintenance issues that were not addressed.
The facility failure could cause residents to have safety concerns.
Findings included:
Record Review of a nursing note dated 11/22/24 at 2:40 p.m. indicated Resident #5's family member
wanted the nurse to look at Resident #5's room. The family member pointed to the air vent and stated, that
is black mold. The family member was directed to the administrator's office at that time. The note was
signed by LVN H and had a strike out on 11/25/24 at 8:18 a.m. The note said the reason for the strike out
was entry error, but it was readable. A note at 4:30 p.m. indicated Resident #5 was discharged to another
facility.
During an observation on 2/26/25 at 1:24 p.m. Room A8 had a sign on the door that said, room was out of
order and was being remodeled. It had a pad lock on the door that was locked. After the administrator got
the key and he opened the door. The room had a strong pervasive odor of being closed for some time. The
vent in the bedroom had a large area that looked like it had been painted over at one time but around the
vent was areas with black substance. The vent in the bathroom appeared to be white but was covered in
black particles.
During an interview on 2/26/25 at 4:29 p.m. the ADON said the former DON said she got mold toxicity
poisoning from the facility. She said the facility had someone to come out and test, but she did not know the
results. She said there had been some family complaints and one family member moved Resident #5 to
another facility from the looked unit. She said Resident #5 resided in Room A8. She said at that time the
administrative staff had placed a lock on that door but did not know anything else. The ADON said she
thought it was in November some time.
During an interview on 2/27/25 at 9:58 a.m. LVN H said she remembered the day with Resident #5's family
member complained about Room A8. She reviewed the note and she had written the note. She said

administrators. He said the current administrator came the last week in January. He said the Ombudsman
brought some concerns about Room A5 missing toilet tank cover, and an emergency light in the bathroom.
He said she had some concerns about Rooms C14 and C15 with some black mold looking areas in the
bathroom. He said those two rooms connect. He said they had called a plumber and when Plumber came in
to repair the area mold was identified. The RDO said there were residents in those rooms, and they were
moved. He said there are no residents in those rooms now. He said Rooms C14 and C15 shared a wall,
and both of those rooms were mediated. He said remediating was when the cleanup company came out
and removed the contaminated areas. The RDO said they had called an environmental services company
that identified the black stuff as mold, they then had to contact a different company to complete the
cleanup. He said after the cleanup they had to have the environmental services company come back and
say it was clear. He said they had done those things with those two rooms only. He said mold was also
identified in Room B10 and they were getting ready to start remediating that room. He said they started the
process in November 2024 but did not know the exact dates. The Director said the dark stuff on the ceiling
in the facility rooms was lint like in any homes where the vent blows. He said they were trying to get the
rooms in order, it was not something they could not do overnight. He said they required a different company
to come in and test the air quality and then they had to have different company to come in clean up the
area. He said once the room it cleaned then the other company comes back to do the air testing again. The
RDO said he was not aware of the areas on the locked unit that had suspected mold. He said they only had
specific areas of the facility tested. He said he did not know why the locks were on two doors on the locked
unit and several doors throughout the facility. He said they had a former employee that said she had mold
toxicity and they had the area where her office was tested also. He said the only identified areas of mold
concern was Rooms B14, B15, and B10. The RDO said they had gotten the air ducts cleaned back in
December 2024.
During an observation on 2/26/24 at 3:29 p.m. of Room B17 showed that room was used as an office.
There were curtains on the window, chairs and tables set up along with a coffee pot and refrigerator. RN A
said they turned Room B17 into a work area. Observation of the room showed the door had a place for a
lock but there was no lock present. RN A said she was told by someone up front (she did not specify who)
that the room was fine to use. She would not have just opened the room on her own. She said she got the
key from up front.
During an observation and interview on 2/26/25 at 3:31p.m. the RDO said he did not know why there was a
hole in the closet of room C16. He said that in Room C14 and C 15 the environmental cleanup crew came
in and cleaned those rooms and that was why they were missing walls. However, they should

During an interview on 2/27/25 at 12:13 p.m. the environmental services company director said regarding
Job SS24688 the rooms looked when where at the facility was C 14 and C 15 and they only looked at those
two rooms. He said they were first contacted on 11/21/24. He said they did the initial assessment on
11/26/24. They did a written protocol a work procedure that needed to be followed to get the work
completed. He said the cleanup is complete by a different company and once they finish the cleanup then
his company came back to retest the air quality and determined on 1/2/25 they had some additional items
to take care of. The facility corrected that issue and they came back on 1/5/25 and gave them an all clear
for Rooms C14 and C15. He said Job CS25040 was a different cite area. He said they were initially called
on 1/15/25 regarding room B10 and they came out on 1/21/25. He said they determined mold in that room
also. He said that the mold that was discovered was common mold penicillium spores. It was not black
mold. He said if they had determined anything toxic with their testing they would have had the residents
evacuated, and notified the city and the proper authorities. He said the State of Texas is not equipped to
handle black mold. What they do when they come out is take a swab of the area that looked suspicious.
They then test the air quality outside and inside the area to determine the concentration of mold in the area.
He said the testing they conducted indicated some high levels of mold but not to a toxic level. They
assessed the mold and made recommendations that it be cleaned by environmental specialist. He said
Room B10 had some water damage and they needed to remove the wall panels. He said if an area had
black substance sometimes it could just be cleaned but they needed to determine the root of the problem
that was causing the damage. If there was water in the walls or if the area was left damp for an excessive
amount of time. He said just because something looked suspicious did not mean it was mold, but it could
be.
During an interview on 2/27/25 at 2:33 p.m. the Medical Director said he was aware the facility had a
problem with mold, but he was informed it was not toxic mold. He said he worked at the hospital and had
not seen anything that suggested respiratory issues. He said if it was something going on with the mold it
would have been something that have shown up at the hospital since it had been several months. He said
the owners standpoint was that it was mold but not toxic. He said he had heard rumors about black mold.
However, it had not shown up in residents UTIs and there had been no respiratory that indicated any fungal
infections. He said different people have allergies to multiple things, but he did not see any issues with
mold.
