During the facility tour LPA observed that cleaning supply cart was left unattended for an extended period of time. This allowed residents to have access to cleaning supplies.

LPA asked staff to please call cleaning staff to return to cart and put away the supplies until they are able to supervise them appropriately. LPA waited for cleaning staff member to return and take charge of cart.
LPA explained to Administrator the importance of ensuring that harmful products are not left unattended if outside the locked storage area. LPA explained to Administrator that a citation would be issued for this deficiency.
