11366 | HEARTLAND OF CLARKSBURG | 515120 | 100 PARKWAY DRIVE | CLARKSBURG | WV | 26301 | 2009-07-02 | 252 | D | MWZ111 | Based on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to provide a clean environment free from unpleasant odors as evidenced by the presence of a persistent odor of urine in a room shared by two (2) incontinent residents. This was evident for two (2) of four (4) sampled residents. Resident identifiers: #6 and #108. Facility census: 102. Findings include: a) Residents #6 and #108 share a room. Observations of the residents' shared room on 06/30/09, at 8:05 a.m., 1:42 p.m., and 2:15 p.m., revealed an unpleasant odor of urine that could be detected immediately upon entering the room. At 8:05 a.m., the odor seemed to be the strongest from Resident #6. At 1:42 p.m., the odor seemed to be coming from an afghan on the bed and the curtain separating the two (2) residents. At 2:15 p.m., the odor of urine was noted also from the wheelchair pad belonging to Resident #108, who had been sitting in the wheelchair. On all three (3) instances, the smell of urine was easily noticeable and could be detected immediately upon entering the room. On 07/01/09 at 11:45 a.m., the distinct odor of urine was detected immediately upon entering the room. During an interview at this time, a nursing assistant (Employee #93) stated she and other aides had noticed a bad smell in the room yesterday and, subsequently, Resident #108's mattress was changed. After the floor was mopped and the resident was showered, they still noticed the odor. She stated she did not believe the odor was coming from the pad in Resident #108's wheelchair, but she agreed she could smell the odor of urine in the curtain separating the residents. She immediately notified housekeeping. The housekeeping, upon arrival, smelled the curtain and also agreed it smelled like urine. She said they do terminal cleaning once every month, which includes taking down the curtains and washing them. She said Resident #6 will yell and throw things when that curtain is removed, as she always wants it pulled. She related she would use the second curtain in the room as a divider between the two (2) beds and take the malodorous curtain down and wash it today. . | 2014-04-01 |
