What the inspector wrote

This survey cited 1 deficiency. The full statement and the facility’s plan of correction follow, verbatim from the federal record.

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. Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide one of three sampled residents (Resident 1) a homelike environment when the window sill and blinds were in need of repair and there was peeling paint on a wall in his room. These failures had the potential to negatively impact Resident 1's comfort and create an environment that was not homelike. Findings: A review of Resident 1's admission record indicated he was admitted in 10/24 with organ-limited amyloidosis (a condition characterized by the presence of proteins lodged in the body's tissues which can affect the entire body and cause a large range of varying symptoms, including appetite loss to bleeding). A review of Resident 1's Minimum Data Set (MDS- a federally mandated resident assessment tool), dated 3/18/25, indicated he had no memory impairment. During a concurrent interview and observation on 6/3/25 at 1:41 p.m. with Resident 1 in his room, the window sill of his room's window had two areas of missing or damaged wood, each approximately 6 inches (in., a unit of measurement) in length. Resident 1 stated staff had damaged it when they had moved beds in and out of the room. Horizontal blinds covering the window were missing approximately 4 in. of each blind strip along the right side of the blind and this occurred down two-thirds of the blind. Resident 1 stated that because the blinds were damaged they let more sun in the room and made it warmer. An area on the room's wall measuring approximately 12 x 12 in. above the television had peeling paint and areas where the peeling paint had been painted over. Resident 1 stated these conditions made him feel like he was, Living in a dump. During a concurrent interview and observation on 6/3/25 at 2:09 p.m. with Certified Nurse Assistant 1 (CNA 1) in Resident 1's room, CNA 1 confirmed the window sill and blinds were damaged and there was peeling paint above the television. CNA 1 agreed they were in need of repair, the room was not homelike and if this were her room she would not have wanted it to look like this. During an interview on 6/3/25 at 2:16 p.m. with the Administrator (ADM), the ADM stated he expected resident rooms were maintained in good repair. The ADM agreed the damaged window sill and blinds, along with the peeling paint in Resident 1's room needed to be addressed by the facility.
