One resident stated at one point the drip was closer to the wall and the barrel had to be place in a manner that blocked easy access to the water dispenser. This resident stated, at least where it is now, I can get water by myself without having to ask for help. But the problem now is that the barrel is blocking the pathway, and some of the residents aren't all there [cognitively impaired] and end up blocking traffic. I feel bad giving orders to some one disabled, so when I want to get by, I try to nicely encourage her to just keep on moving. Another resident stated, it is kind of ugly to look at, but staff dump the water out before it ever starts to smell. In an interview on 7/12/2024 at 5:45 PM, the Maintenance Director stated the bucket was large and can block the pathway if a resident paused in the ambulation or moving their wheelchair. The Maintenance Director stated he will see if a smaller bucket can be placed instead to prevent traffic from stopping in the hallway. The Maintenance director stated several residents in this area were able to self-mobilize their wheelchair, but some residents might need more help to navigate if the large barrel has to be in the middle of the hallway. Review of facility policy, Homelike Environment, revised February 2021 read: Residents are provided with a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment. 2. The facility staff and facility management maximizes, to the extent possible, the characteristics of the facility that reflect a personalized, homelike setting.
