Southern NH Rehab: Safe Environment Failures - NH
The loose tiles at Nashua Post Acute Care were curled at the edges and lifted from the floor surface. A licensed practical nurse confirmed the damage during the November inspection, acknowledging that the tiles moved when touched.
Inspectors found similar hazards throughout the facility. In another resident room, loose and curled tiles covered the area where the resident steps out of bed. Missing trim from a bedside table added to the deteriorated conditions.
The unit manager confirmed both the loose flooring and missing furniture trim when questioned by inspectors.
More concerning conditions emerged in the Unit 1 West kitchenette, where missing tiles created uneven flooring surfaces. Staff had covered the exposed edges with black tape, but the makeshift repair left gaps and height differences across the walking surface.
An activities aide acknowledged the missing tiles when inspectors asked about the kitchenette floor conditions.
During the inspection, an inspector observed a resident walking directly over the uneven flooring to reach the kitchenette refrigerator. The person navigated the height differences and gaps where tiles had been removed, demonstrating the daily fall risk residents face.
The inspection findings affected multiple residents across different areas of the facility. Loose tiles beside beds pose particular dangers for elderly residents who may have balance issues or use mobility aids when getting up during the night or early morning hours.
Federal inspectors classified the violations as creating minimal harm or potential for actual harm, but the widespread nature of the flooring problems suggests systemic maintenance failures throughout the facility.
