Minnesota Masonic Home: Care Plan Delays Risk Safety - MN
Twenty-seven of the 29 residents living on D1 used that shower room regularly.
A nursing assistant, identified in the report as NA-G, told inspectors she had given a resident a shower at 8 that morning, then cleaned the shower chair using one of the white brushes sitting on the floor. She confirmed she could see the pink matter on the walls and on the brushes. She said the housekeeper was responsible for cleaning the walls.
The housekeeper, identified as H-A, said she cleaned the shower rooms every day, sometimes using bleach on the affected areas. Then she said she hadn't cleaned the shower the day before. She told inspectors she would ask her supervisor for new brushes.
When inspectors returned the following morning, the walls had been cleaned, but pink matter was still visible on the tiles near the floor. The two brushes were leaning against the wall.
The facility's infection preventionist told inspectors she wasn't sure what the pink matter was, but that the shower needed to be cleaned. She removed the brushes and said they needed to be replaced. The administrator told inspectors the brushes were being replaced "right now."
The facility had a cleaning policy, updated in October 2025, stating that resident spaces would be maintained to "the highest standards of hygiene and comfort."
The pink matter was on the walls anyway. It was on the brushes a nursing assistant used after bathing a resident. It was on the bag hanging from the showerhead. And the morning after inspectors flagged it, some of it was still there.
