Father Murray Villa Center: Sanitation Failures - MI
When inspectors visited the facility on November 20, 2025, they found shower rooms that weren't clean. The shower chairs and shower beds hadn't been properly wiped down. The puddle on the floor was still there when staff reviewed the conditions with inspectors at 2:10 in the afternoon.
What the visit also turned up was something harder to clean than standing water: nobody in charge could give a clear answer about who was responsible for the mess in the first place.
The Director of Nursing told inspectors that CNAs were responsible for cleaning the shower rooms and chairs. That meant picking up trash, bagging dirty towels and clothes, and moving them to the soiled utility room. But the Director of Nursing also acknowledged the facility would have to "find out where the disconnect between the housekeeping staff and the CNAs responsibilities is." That sentence, buried in an inspection report, describes a facility that didn't know its own cleaning system well enough to keep a shower room dry.
The CNA supervisor, identified in the report as Staff H, offered her own version of the division of labor. CNAs were responsible for cleaning all sides and underneath the shower chairs and the shower bed, she said. Floor care was responsible for the floors in the shower rooms.
That left a gap. The puddle remained.
It's a small detail, a wet floor in a shower room. But shower rooms in nursing facilities aren't used by people who are steady on their feet. They're used by residents who need help bathing, who may use wheelchairs or mechanical lifts, who are transferred onto shower beds by staff. A wet floor in that setting isn't a minor housekeeping inconvenience. It's a fall waiting to happen.
The shower chairs themselves are classified, under the facility's own cleaning policy, as noncritical patient care devices, the same category as blood pressure cuffs and mechanical lifts that touch residents' skin. The policy, dated May 2020, says those items are to be disinfected when visibly soiled and on a regular basis. The inspection found the chairs hadn't been cleaned on all sides and underneath. Whether they were visibly soiled, the report doesn't say. What it says is that the cleaning wasn't happening the way it was supposed to.
The facility also has a policy on the homelike environment, dated 2001, stating that residents are provided with a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment. That policy is more than two decades old. The shower room conditions inspectors documented in November 2025 sat in direct tension with it.
The violation was cited at the lowest level of harm, meaning inspectors determined there was minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and that only a few residents were affected. That classification matters for how the federal government responds, and it reflects the inspectors' judgment that no one was hurt. But the classification doesn't resolve the management problem the inspection exposed.
Two supervisors, asked the same basic question about who cleans the shower rooms, gave answers that didn't fully align. One pointed to CNAs. The other drew a line between the chairs and the floor, assigning each to a different department. Neither answer explained the puddle or the uncleaned chair surfaces. Neither answer suggested anyone had been tracking whether the cleaning was actually getting done.
The Director of Nursing's comment, that the facility would need to find out where the disconnect was, reads less like a plan than an admission. A disconnect between housekeeping and nursing staff over shower room cleaning isn't the kind of thing that develops overnight. Shower rooms get used every day. If the chairs weren't being cleaned underneath, and the floors weren't being claimed by either department, that pattern didn't begin the morning inspectors arrived.
The puddle on the floor was still there at 2:10 in the afternoon.
