staff regarding Residents #19, #39, #15, and #10 wheelchair armrests needed to be repaired. He stated
any request submitted in the portal went to the maintenance supervisor and the maintenance supervisor
resolved all requests. He stated he could provide documentation of requests submitted to the online portal.
However, he could not provide any documentation that reflected the quantity of wheelchairs being
inspected daily. He stated wheelchairs not being repaired could put residents at fall risks and sharp edges
could harm the residents. A policy regarding the maintenance of wheelchairs was requested. The ADM

he would repair the wheelchair if he could. He stated if he was unable to repair the wheelchair, the facility

tech savvy, some maintenance requests are noted in the maintenance log located at each nurse's station.
He stated he completed routine wheelchair inspections every month and noted in the online maintenance
portal. He stated lately, he hasn't received any maintenance request in the online portal or in the
maintenance log binder.

Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observations, interviews and record reviews the facility failed to provide a safe, functional,
sanitary and comfortable environment for residents, staff and the public for 2 of 12 rooms (Residents #43's
and #61's rooms) and 1 of 4 halls (the 300 wing (secure unit) hallway).
The facility failed to ensure that there was running water in the sinks, the sinks had functioning drains,
safety grab bars were secure to the walls, tiles had no gaps between them exposing the porous flooring
beneath and safety handrails had no exposed sharp metal protrusions.
These failures could result in residents experiencing falls, skin tears and unable to perform handwashing.
Findings included:
An observation on 01/14/2025 at 4:07 PM in the bathroom of Resident #43 revealed43 revealed that the
safety grab bar facing the toilet was loose from the wall and offered significant movement when pulled
upon. The water barrier (a plastic based sheeting designed to repel liquids) next to the toilet had separated
from the wall next to the toilet revealing a large gap (approximately 6 inches by 4 inches) between the wall
and the water barrier . The tiles around the base of the toilet had become separated revealing gaps (
approximately(approximately 5 tiles with ½ inch to 1/8 inch1/8-inch gaps) between the tiles that
exposed the bare floor. Resident #43 was unable to answer any questions about his bathroom.
An observation on 01/15/2025 at 10:11 AM in the bathroom of Resident #61 revealed that the sink had no
running hot or cold water and the stopper for the sink was inoperable keeping the stopper closed. Resident
#61 was not in his room at the time of the observation.

off to all of the bathrooms because they were fixing his sink. Resident #61 was unable to answer questions.

the maintenance supervisor. She stated that it was important to fix things around the facility that residents
use so that their lives are better and that not having beds or toilets working could make life more difficult for
residents.
In an interview on 1/16/2025 at 12:23 PM CNA E revealed that she was aware of two maintenance logs,
one behind the nursing station by the entrance to the facility and one at the nursing station near the
entrance to the secure unit. She stated That she had written maintenance issues in both logs before and
she was pretty sure they were still supposed to be using the maintenance logs but that there was a new
phone App that the facility was wanting them to use. She stated that it was important to have issues fixed
so that residents could do everyday things like use their toilets, shower rooms and other things.
In an interview on 1/16/2025 at 3:26 PM the ADM revealed that he had been unaware of the safety grab rail
in Resident #43's room, the lack of running water in Resident #61's room or the hand/guard rail with
exposed sharp edges in the 300 [Secure Unit] hallway. He stated that the maintenance issues in the Secure
unit could cause falls or skin tears and that all residents should have available hot water to wash their
hands. He stated that he had reviewed both maintenance logs and the new phone App reporting system
and he could find no reports about maintenance issues in the secure unit.
In an interview on 01/16/2025 at 3:29 PM the Maintenance Supervisor revealed that he had not been aware
of the maintenance issues in the secure unit. He stated that the safety grab bar in Resident #43's room was
loose and that the spacers used to secure it to the wall had cracked and he would fix it that day. He stated
that he had be had not seen any entries in either the maintenance log or the new phone App about the
maintenance issues in Residents #43's and #61's rooms. He stated that he had no idea how long the sink
in Resident #61's room was not functioning but explained that the shut off valves beneath the sink were not
functioning and that the stopper in the sink would not open. He stated that it needs to be fixed immediately
so the residents could wash their hands when they want to. He stated that he was unaware of the handrail
in the 300-hall missing its end caps, and that the ends of the handrail were not extremely sharp but that it
was sheet metal and could be sharp. He stated that he would find new endcaps for the handrail as soon as
possible. He stated that he prefers to use the old maintenance logbooks over the new maintenance phone
App as he had not seen many entries in the phone App.
In an interview on 01/16/2025 at 3:38 PM the DON revealed that she had not been aware of the
maintenance issues on the 300-Hall [Secure Unit]. She stated that if the safety grab bar in a resident's
bathroom fell off a resident could fall and possibly injure themselves. She stated that if residents could not
wash their hands with hot water and soap it could lead to possible infection control issues or affect the
mental state of residents if unable to attend to daily hygiene needs. She stated that the exposed edges
handrail in the hallway of the 300-Hall Secure Unit could pose a skin tear risk to residents using the
handrail for balance or going past the handrail in wheelchairs.
Record review of both maintenance logs in the facility found no evidence of maintenance issues being
reported for the 300-Hall Secure Unit x 3 months.
Record review of the facility policy, Homelike Environment, revised February 2021, reflected:
Policy Statement Residents are provided with a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment.
