The findings were: 1. Observation on 10/3/17 at 10:02 AM showed the horizontal molding at a 12 inch height in the hallway of the third floor was visibly dusty, this was noted near rooms 302, 314, 316, and 319. Observation at 10:41 AM showed the horizontal molding at a 12 inch height in the hallway of the second floor was visibly dusty, near rooms 224, 225, 226, and 227. Further observation at 11:18 AM showed the horizontal molding at a 12 inch height in the hallway of the first floor was visibly dusty, near rooms 113 and 114. 2. Observation on 10/1/17 at 4:38 PM showed resident #35 sitting in a wheelchair in the second floor hallway. The wheelchair had visible debris and dirt on the wheelchair wheel spokes and brake system. There was an unidentified green substance stuck to the brake system as well. Further observation on 10/4/17 at 11:35 AM showed the same resident sitting at a table in the dining room. The wheelchair was noted as having debris and dirt on the wheels and brake system, and the green substance noted on 10/1/17 remained stuck to the brake system. 3. Observation on 10/3/17 at 10:26 AM showed an Invacare Reliant RPS 350 sit-to-stand lift, located on the second floor, had flaky, light-colored particles covering the footboard. Observation of the same lift on 10/4/17 showed the footboard to be in the same condition. 4 .Observation on 10/4/17 at 9:42 AM showed an Invacare Platinum 10 oxygen concentrator in room 224 had a cabinet air filter visibly covered in dust. 5. Interview on 10/4/17 at 11:38 AM with housekeeping staff #1 revealed the janitorial staff was primarily responsible for the cleaning of the hallway floors and surfaces, and it was not a regular part of the housekeeping routine. 6. Interview on 10/4/17 at 11:30 AM with RN #2 revealed staff was expected to clean lifts after every use, wiping the surfaces with bleach wipes. She further confirmed that none of the lifts were for single resident use. 7. Interview on 10/4/17 at 11:48 AM with the DON revealed wheelchairs were supposed to be cleaned on each resident's shower day, and the task was performed by hospitality aides on the evening shift. She confirmed resident #35's wheelchair did not appear to have been recently cleaned. She further confirmed the Invacare Reliant RPS 350 sit-to-stand lift was not clean and the expectation was for equipment including lifts to be cleaned after every use. Finally, she concurred the horizontal molding in the hallway was dusty and required cleaning.	2020-09-01
