Lovington Healthcare: Environmental Safety Gaps - NM
Federal inspectors found the obstructed 300 hall at Lovington Healthcare LLC during a November 25 complaint investigation. Three large boxes were piled on top of each other near one room, with one box displaying a picture of a toilet. Cardboard and packaging materials stuck out from the top and sides of the stack.
A separate large box with a toilet picture sat on the floor near another room. The actual toilet lay on the hallway floor nearby.
The facility's payroll employee confirmed during an interview that objects blocked residents' path on both sides of the hall. She told inspectors that everything should be positioned on one side of the hall to ensure residents had a clear path.
The blocked hallway created unsafe conditions for all 17 residents living on the 300 hall, according to the inspection report. Federal regulators determined the practice likely increased residents' risk for injuries and decreased their quality of life.
Nursing homes must maintain areas that are safe, accessible, clean and comfortable for residents under federal regulations. The facility received a citation for minimal harm with potential for actual harm to some residents.
The inspection occurred as part of a complaint investigation, though the specific nature of the complaint was not detailed in the federal report.
Lovington Healthcare LLC operates in southeastern New Mexico, serving residents who require various levels of nursing care and rehabilitation services.
