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 (Resident #1 and Resident
#2) of 8 residents reviewed for environment.
The facility failed to ensure the wheelchairs used by Resident #1 and Resident #2 were clean and sanitary.
This failure could place residents at risk for diminished quality of life due to the lack of a well-kept
environment.
Findings included:
1. An observation on 7/30/24 at 10:25 AM revealed Resident #1 was sitting in a wheelchair in the doorway
to her room located on the 700 Hall. Both back wheels on her wheelchair had a thick buildup of dust and
debris on all of the spoke surfaces. The metal frame of her chair along the sides and beneath her seat and
surface of her brake lever were covered with a thick layer of dirt and debris. The areas surrounding the
hardware on her seat were filled with a dried, thick, white substance. Resident #1 was unable to say how
long her chair had looked or when it was last cleaned for her other than to say, it's been a while. She was
unable to answer other general questions about her care.
An observation and interview on 7/30/24 at 4:50 PM, the DON was shown Resident #1's wheelchair and
asked about cleaning procedures. The DON stated the chairs were cleaned regularly. She stated Resident
#1 had a habit of carrying food between her room and the dining room and was sometimes resistant to
leaving her chair. She stated she would get it cleaned as soon as possible.
An interview with the DON on 7/31/24 at 8:00 AM, she stated the nursing staff were responsible for
monitoring the wheelchairs and could wipe them down. She stated the facility driver took the chairs outside
and power washed them when needed for heavy cleaning. The DON stated there was no set schedule
made for the cleaning as some were more heavily used than others, but a request could be made to herself
or any unit manager for a deep cleaning. She stated everyone was responsible for ensuring the chairs were
cleaned and she felt the facility maintained good communication. She stated she did not feel there was any
risk to the residents as they still had a means of locomotion, and it did not interfere with the use of the
wheelchairs.
2. An observation on 7/31/24 at 9:06 AM, Resident #2 was observed in her room on the 700 Hall, sitting in
her wheelchair sipping water. Her wheelchair had a dried, thick, beige substance along her lower right side
and streaks of what appeared to be the same substance spattered on her wheel.
During an interview on 7/31/24 at 9:15 AM, RN A stated it was everyone's responsibility to monitor the
wheelchairs for cleanliness. She stated, when the wheelchairs were dirty, they could wipe them down or ask
housekeeping or maintenance staff to power wash them. She stated she could make an entry into the
maintenance log kept at the nurses' station or just tell them. RN A stated Resident #1 had a habit of going
and grabbing food and putting it in her chair. She stated they kept telling her to let them help but even when
we clean her wheelchair, it became dirty quickly. RN A stated she could not explain the buildup of dust and
debris on the wheels.
