Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary environment by ensuring the dining area corridor wall was intact, dry, and free of insects. Residents Affected - Few This facility failure placed residents at risk of exposure to mold from humid or wet walls, which also attracted insects. Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on 3/4/25 at 10:50 a.m. with charge nurse (CN) in the facility ' s dining corridor, a hole was observed on the wall of the corridor leading from the dining room to the medical records office. The bottom wall siding was detached from the wall creating an opening between the siding and the base of the wall. Several ants were observed going in and out of the hole through the opening in the damaged wall. There was visible damage on the wall area close to the corner. The wall damage was partially obscured by a lift device parked nearby. CN who was present at the time of the observation, confirmed the wall was damaged. CN was asked how long the wall had been damaged. CN stated I don ' t know. I had not noticed that before. During another concurrent corridor wall observation and interview with facilities director (FD) on 3/4/25 at 11:56 a.m., part of the wall had been opened exposing the inside of the wall where the material was observed to be wet. The inside material of the wall was touched and confirmed to be wet. The FD was asked the reason the inside of the wall was wet. FD stated, I don't know, we are working on it. The FD was asked to touch the inside of the wall to confirm the inside of the wall was wet. FD replied Yes, it's wet. But I don't know why, we are working on it. During an interview with the director of nursing (DON) on 3/4/25 at 1:05 p.m., DON was notified of the wet wall problem and concerns of mold inside the wall and the concern of ants observed going in and out of the hole through the damaged wall area. The DON acknowledged and confirmed the corridor wall was damaged with a hole or there's an open area on the wall.During further observation the damaged area was observed to be not blocked or covered with some caution tape or labeling indicating work repair is ongoing . The DON stated We are fixing it. We knew about it.
