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 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 stated We are fixing it. We knew about it.
