down the 400 hallway - some were wheeling themselves while some were being assisted by the staffs.

chipped and exposing uneven concrete underneath.

Maintenance Director stated someone could trip on the floor.
On 11/20/2023 at 5:35pm in an interview with the DON, she stated they would get together and figure out
going from room-to-room and see if it was the mattress, linen, resident, or if any of the residents was hiding
anything that was causing the odor.
