Make sure that the nursing home area is safe, easy to use, clean and comfortable for residents, staff and
the public.
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure the lint screens for two out of
three dryers observed in the laundry room were cleaned as per facility protocol. There were 139 residents
residing in the facility at the time of the survey.
The findings included:
On 04/17/24 at 09:23 AM during an observational tour of the laundry area by two surveyors on the team
with the facility's Infection Preventionist (Staff B) and the Director of housekeeping, the lint screens of two
out of three clothes dryers were checked and observed covered in a thick layer of lint. Each dryer has a
load capacity of 150 pounds and was in working order.
On 4/17/24 at 9:40AM, the Director of housekeeping acknowledged that the lint screens for the two dryers
were full of lint and was not cleaned, the lint log posted on the wall opposite the dryers documented-the lint
screens were last cleaned on 4/17/24 at 9:00 AM. The Director of Housekeeping stated that the dryer lint
screens are supposed to be cleaned every hour by the staff on duty.
Review of the undated facility policy titled Lint states: All lint screens must be cleaned and brushed every
hour and after every single load. If a lint screen is not cleaned out, the air passing through the machine will
be blocked, which will raise the temperature in the machine, possibly causing a hazardous situation.
