The facility has also failed to replace a stained worn out carpeting in the hallway for 4 out of 5 resident units. Findings are as follows: 1. The kitchenette on the C/D unit was observed to have broken rotted wooden shelving beneath the cabinet of the sink with an approximate 1.5 foot hole through the wallboard exposing another area of broken and missing concrete and a thick accumulation of dirt. 2. The ice machine located in kitchenette on the C/D unit was raised off the floor. The area underneath the ice machine was observed with a thick accumulation of dust and debris as well as a rusted area noted on the left side. Additionally, on the front of the ice machine the air filter had a thick accumulation of dust. 3. Four of five nursing unit hallways were observed with carpeting which was stained and had areas which were frayed and worn out. During the environmental tour on 12/12/2014 at 9:30 AM, the Maintenance Director and Housekeeping Director both were unable to provide any evidence of a scheduled time for the above concerns to be addressed. 4. During surveyor observation of the laundry room on 12/12/2014 at approximately 11:00 AM in the presence of the Administrator and Maintenance Director, the laundry room was observed with a wet, thick accumulation of dirt and debris as well as a dirty wet mop head and wet towels on the floor around 2 of the 3 the washing machines. The flooring was noted to have several areas of deep gouges in the cement. Additionally, the surveyor observed a thick accumulation of dust and dirt on all tubing and connections to each of 3 washers. The sink located in the wash room was also observed with dried brown staining. During the above observation, the Administrator indicated that these areas are to be cleaned daily. 5. During an observation on the initial tour of the kitchen on 12/9/2014 at approximately 9:15 AM and 12/10/2014 at 11:20 AM, the following was observed: The kitchen floor had an accumulation of dirt and dried food debris in the corners and edges of the floors in the main cooking area and in the dry storage area. Additionally, the floor near the 3 compartment sink was wet with a rust colored stain on it. The hand washing sink was observed with a brown substance on the caulking which had pieces of caulking missing and had pulled away from the wall. The wall tiles throughout the main kitchen area were observed to have dried brown stained matter on them. Additionally, an area behind the drying rack had missing tiles. The window sill behind the 3 compartment sink was noted with an accumulation of thick dust and the kitchen door was noted with chipping paint. Interview with the Food Service Director on 12/12/2014 at approximately 10:30 AM, he could not provide any evidence as to why the above areas had not been attended to. You are hereby formally notified that where the above listed deficiencies also constitute non-compliance with applicable provisions of the 'Rules and Regulations for Licensing of Nursing Facilities' they are deficiencies under State Regulations and grounds for licensure sanctions.	2018-03-01
