36	KULA HOSPITAL	125003	100 KEOKEA PLACE	KULA	HI	96790	2018-06-22	584	D	0	1	GCA011	Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure the bedroom landing mats placed at the bedside was sanitary, safe and in good condition for 1 of 24 residents (R33). In addition, the facility failed to ensure the bathroom floor's black skid strips were in good condition for 1 of 24 residents (R56) and a dining room table was maintained in good, safe condition. Findings Include: 1) During the observation of Resident 33's (R33) bedside landing mat on 06/20/18 at 08:43 AM, it was found that both of the resident's beige colored landing mats had long cracks and tears throughout. As a result, some of the woven mesh underneath the beige cover could be seen. 2) During a bathroom observation 06/20/18 at 08:31 AM, it was found that R75's bathroom floor had large black skid strips that were peeled off and missing on four of the strips. 3) On 06/21/18 at 09:34 AM, during a concurrent room observation with Staff 5 (S5), she confirmed the beige floor mats for R33 were in disrepair, worn and torn. S5 said the mats needed to be replaced. S5 also concurred it did not present to be a safe and clean home environment, as there was a potential risk for falls due to the tears on the surface of the mats, and that the mats were potentially unsanitary due to the exposure of the woven material visible through the tears. 4) On 06/20/18 at 09:07 AM, R56 was observed holding onto the edge of a round table in the activity/dining room on 4 North. Portions of the table's white laminate type of siding were missing/torn off, leaving an uneven surface that could potentially affect (poke or scratch) one's skin. R56 gripped onto the side where the missing laminate was and used her hands to push and pull her wheelchair back and forth. No staff was present to observe her. On 06/21/18 at 09:52 AM, a concurrent observation of the activity/dining room on 4 North was done with S5. S5 verified there were portions of white siding missing on the table's edge. S5 said she did not want anything to cause injury to the residents and maintenance would be notified.	2020-09-01
