F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few 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. **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to ensure resident has a right to a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment for 2 of 5 resident rooms, observed for environment. In resident rooms #1125 an #1207 tiles around the toilets were loose, missing pieces or otherwise separated. This failure could place residents at risk for living in an unsanitary and uncomfortable environment. Findings included: In an observation on 07/21/24 at 1:33 PM the bathroom floor in room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed to have two pieces of tile directly in front of the toilet that had approximately 2-inch by 2-inch pieces missing exposing the bare concrete below. In an observation on 07/22/24 at 1:29 PM the bathroom floor in room # 1207 was observed to have 5 pieces of tile bordering the toilet to have ¼ inch gaps between the tiles exposing the concrete below. One tile directly to the right of the toilet had a large ½ inch crack directly down the middle of the tile exposing the bare concrete below. In an interview on 07/22/24 at 2:05 PM the Maintenance Supervisor revealed he knew about the tiles in the bathrooms and the crew that were fixing them had quit doing business months ago. He stated that the tiles looked bad and that the gaps and missing pieces could make it hard to sanitize the bathrooms. In an interview on 07/23/24 at 4:41 PM the DON revealed that a cracked or loose tile in the bathroom could pose a trip hazard if the tile slipped or if the edge of the tile was raised high enough off the floor. Review of a facility policy entitled Preventive Maintenance/Work-Order Request, dated 2003 revealed that 1. The facility will repair or replace damaged/broken equipment or building amenities as needed.

Record review of Resident #48's MDS , dated 05/28/2024, revealed a BIMS score of 14 and an active diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (a disease of inadequate control of blood glucose levels). His Functional Status assessment indicated he required two-person assistance for bed mobility, transfer, and toilet use, and setup help only for meals. Review of Resident #48's Physician Order written 05/27/2024 read to monitor Foley catheter every shift for leakage, blockage, sediment buildup, or low output.

F 0908 Keep all essential equipment working safely. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Based on observations, interviews, and record review the facility failed to maintain all mechanical, electrical, and patient care equipment in safe operating condition for 1 of 1 kitchen review for equipment safety. Residents Affected - Some In the kitchen walk-in refrigerator and walk-in freezer, the fan cooling units were leaking. These failures could affect all residents that eat meals from the kitchen and pose a possible risk for cross-contamination. Findings included: In an observation on 07/22/24 at 10:20 AM in the kitchen walk-in refrigerator a large, five-gallon, food grade clear plexiglass bucket was observed to be half full of a water-like substance, liquid was observed dripping from a pipe connected to the fan-cooler unit above the bucket. The fan-cooler unit was observed to be making a clanking noise. A further observation in the kitchen walk-in freezer revealed that both fan-cooler units had ice build-up in the form of icicles that had dripped onto food boxes below building up 2-3 inches of ice on top of the food boxes. In an interview on 07/22/24 at 2:05 PM the ADM revealed that the fan-cooler units in the walk-in refrigerator had been fixed, she could not account how long the pipes may have been leaking. In an interview on 07/22/24 at 2:05 PM the Maintenance Supervisor revealed that he had fixed the leaking pipes in the walk-in refrigerator by blowing them out. He could not state how long the pipes may have been leaking but guessed he had probably been in the walk-in refrigerator area sometime last week.
