The bleach dispenser had a red light flashing on it, which the Aide indicated meant "It's empty." Both staff noted that bleach was not used. The Supervisor stated that she thought there was bleach in the detergent, (Solid Super Star) but review of the manufacturer's information did not support this. The Supervisor stated that water temperatures were taken every morning and were recorded consistently at greater than 160. She provided logs which corroborated this. However, upon direct observation, both washers were in use and set on "warm" instead of "hot". The surveyor asked the Laundry Aide to check the water temperature entering one of the washers with the facility's routinely-used digital thermometer. The temperature of the water was 80.2 degrees. During an interview on 6-1-11 at approximately 10 AM, after the Administrator was advised of the washer settings, he confirmed that the water temperatures in the washers should have been maintained at over 160 degrees.

Random observations revealed that the call system in the 200 Hall Shower Room did not have a visual signal outside the door. Also, the 100 Hall audible system was observed to be turned off at the nursing station on 6-2-11.

LPN #4 stated that the call lights had not worked properly for "some time" (unspecified). The Maintenance Supervisor stated that he was unaware of the needed repair. The surveyor requested preventive maintenance records for the call system, but none were provided for review. Prior to a treatment observation on the 100 Hall on 6-2-11 at 11:20 AM, and immediately after completion of the treatment, a call light was "on" in the corridor outside of Room 127. No audible signal was heard at the nursing station. There were four staff members in the immediate area.

The findings included: During interviews on 10-3-16 and 10-4-16, Residents #11, #41, #90, #119 and #128 stated they had personal funds accounts with the facility but that they had not been advised of account balances at least quarterly. During an interview at 1:10 PM on 10-6-16, the Business Office Manager (BOM) reviewed the resident trust account and stated that Resident #119 had not placed money in the account prior to 7-16 when s/he had last sent quarterly statements. (This was verified by review of the resident's account.) The BOM stated that s/he kept a copy of quarterly statements in the residents' files. When asked, the BOM and Business Office Assistant (BOA) were unable to locate the statement copies to verify they had been sent. Upon investigation, they stated that Resident #128's statement was noted in the computer to be sent to her/his son, instead of to the resident.
