Level of Harm - Potential for minimal harm Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed a to dispose of garbage and refuse properly for 3 of 4 dumpsters (Dumpsters #1, #2 and #3) reviewed for disposal of garbage. The facility failed to ensure:1. Dumpster #1 had a drainage plug that completely covered the drainage hole in the dumpster and the doors were completely shut.2. Dumpster #2 had a drainage plug and the doors were completely shut.3. Dumpster #3 had a drainage plug that completely covered the drainage hole in the dumpster. These deficient practices could place residents at risk for exposure to germs and diseases carried by vermin and rodents. The findings were: 1. Observation on 07/24/2025 at 11:36 AM revealed Dumpster #1 had a drainage hole approximately 2-inches in diameter that was half covered by a piece of metal from inside the dumpster. The other half of the drainage hole was uncovered. The sliding door on the left side of the dumpster was open approximately 4-inches. 2. Observation on 07/24/2025 at 11:37 AM revealed Dumpster #2 had a drainage hole approximately 2-inches in diameter and was missing a drainage plug. The sliding door on the left side of the dumpster was open approximately 4-inches. 3.
