32 | Regarding the allegation that facility staff are not ensuring that the facility is being adequately cleaned and sanitized: it was alleged that a mess was observed, staff did not respond to clean it up timely, and when staff did respond they cleaned it improperly. LPA Haddad inspected the entire facility, including hallways, common bathrooms, 10 resident rooms, and 10 private resident bathrooms, and did not obtain information corroborating the allegation. When interviewed, COO denied the allegation, stating that the facility is cleaned and sanitized. Three housekeeping staff interviewed denied the allegation and stated that the facility is regularly cleaned and when a mess is reported they will respond quickly to properly clean it up. Out of 12 residents interviewed, eight stated the facility was clean enough. Four of the residents interviewed stated the facility could be cleaner, but did not corroborate that cleanliness is a major concern for residents. One resident stated that when they identify a mess, they bring it up and staff will address it quickly. Although messes may occur within the facility, the information obtained did not corroborate that the facility is not regularly cleaning the facility and addressing messes in a reasonable time when they occur.
Regarding the allegation that facility staff are not ensuring that restrooms are with toiletry supplies: it was alleged that resident bathrooms frequently lack basic supplies such as soap, toilet paper, and paper towels. LPA Haddad inspected the facility, including the common bathrooms and 10 private resident bathrooms, and did not obtain information corroborating the allegation. When interviewed, COO denied the allegation, stating that each resident receives two rolls of toilet paper every day, residents are welcome to ask for more, and that sometimes residents take toiletry supplies from the common bathrooms, but these are checked multiple times a day to ensure they are always stocked. Three housekeeping staff interviewed denied the allegation, stating that the common bathrooms are regularly restocked and that individual resident bathrooms are stocked based on the needs of the residents. For example, toiletry supplies may be given to the resident themselves instead of being stocked in their bathroom if there is a risk another resident may take the supplies or the supplies pose a risk to nearby residents. However, one staff did note that residents have been complaining about low stock of toiletry supplies in the common bathrooms recently. Out of 13 residents interviewed, 11 residents identified no issues with toiletries at the facility. Two residents stated that the common restrooms lack toiletry items once in a while. While some residents may have seen the common restrooms lacking toiletry items on occasion between restocking, LPA observed the facility has a sufficient supply of toiletries and no information was obtained that the facility is not regularly restocking toiletry supplies or that the facility is refusing to restock the bathrooms if notified of a shortage. The information obtained is conflicting. |
