32 | Allegation: Staff does not ensure facility floors are maintained in good repair
It was alleged that the facility carpets are loose which is a tripping hazard. To investigate this allegation, LPA and LPM conducted an interview with the Administrator and were informed that the facility has carpets on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors. At some places, LPA and LPM observed the carpets were slightly loose. However, it’s not a tripping hazard. The carpets are not frayed, not torn and you are able to walk over without catching your shoe, walker or the wheelchair. The Administrator was already aware of this situation and informed LPA and LPM that an order had been placed to fix the carpets. Proof of document was obtained during today ‘s visit. Therefore, based on interview, document review, LPA and LPM observation this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated, at this time.
Allegation: Staff does not ensure facility is kept free of hazardous obstructions
It was alleged that the parking garage has a water leak and there are hazards due to being over filled with equipment. LPA and LPA along with the Administrator toured the garage area and observed a large storage area that contained various large items. The maintenance room was not accessible to residents in care. LPA observed random furniture out of the way, placed by residents' family for disposal when they left. Furniture is not stored in an obstructive hazard. Therefore, based on LPA and LPM observation and information gathered during today's visit this allegation is Unsubstantiated, at this time.
Allegation: Staff do not ensure restricted area of facility is safely secured
It was alleged that the staff do not ensure the door to the roof top of the building is kept locked to prevent residents from having access. To investigate this allegation, LPA and LPM along with the Administrator conducted a physical plant tour of the facility. At 11:35am, LPA and LPM observed that the roof access had no lock. Room #7709, which is independent and not part of the licensed facility, is located across from the roof top door and is the only room that has access to outside. At 1:02pm, LPA contacted the Fire Inspector and confirmed that the fire door and access to the roof should not be locked. Therefore, based on LPA and LPM observation and information gathered during today’s visit, this allegation is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
