The resident in room [ROOM NUMBER] stated the covering kept falling off the light switch. The resident in room [ROOM NUMBER] stated it did not cause issues, but her roommate could not see well, and it might have been a problem for her. The light switch covering was sitting in the bathroom. The Maintenance Director stated he covered the light switch the other day and one side of it must have come off. He stated he was not aware that part of the covering had fallen off. He stated the light switch needed to be covered for the safety of the resident, to prevent any possible harm. An observation of the 100 Hall on 07/22/25 at 12:29 PM, reflected missing tile on the ceiling with wires and pink insulation exposed. There was a pink wash basin in the ceiling, with a black, small trashcan and blue bucket, sitting on a towel on the floor, in the middle of the hallway, directly below the opening.

He stated the leak first happened about two months ago. The Maintenance Director stated the risk of the leak was possibly major damage to the roof. The Maintenance Director stated the wall socket was repaired in room [ROOM NUMBER]. He stated there was no risk since the socket was always in the wall unless the resident's bed was moved, which would sometimes pull the socket away from the wall.In an interview on 07/22/25 at 3:31 PM, The Administrator stated she addressed the concern with the leak with the facility's regional office, but they prioritize repairs in their own way.
