BRIA of Westmont: Sanitation Failures Found in Inspection - IL
When inspectors arrived on May 29, 2026, they found the man sitting in his wheelchair surrounded by shredded paper, dark brown spots, food crumbs, and plastic utensils scattered across his floor. He told them housekeeping was supposed to have cleaned the day before. Nobody came.
The resident, who uses a wheelchair and manages multiple conditions including chronic respiratory failure, lymphedema, and cardiomegaly, said the neglect was predictable. "Things are worse when V1 is not in the building," he told inspectors, referring to the administrator by title. When the administrator is off, he said, nothing of importance gets done.
The dining room told a similar story. A resident told inspectors that dinner trays were routinely left on tables overnight, still sitting there when residents came down for breakfast the next morning. She also said the tables and chairs were wobbly and unsafe.
Staff accounts of who was responsible for cleaning up after meals shifted depending on who was asked. The housekeeping director said dietary cleaned the tables after lunch. The director of nursing said dietary cleaned tables after CNAs removed trays, then housekeeping did the floors. Two CNAs said housekeeping was supposed to wipe the tables. A dietary aide was more direct: housekeeping is supposed to clean the tables and floors, she said, but they don't do it.
The hallways were a separate problem. Multiple staff members and two residents described corridors that routinely filled with equipment, particularly when residents gathered for smoke breaks. CNAs said equipment was supposed to stay along the right-hand wall. It often didn't.
The facility's own written policy said dining room tables and chairs would be cleaned as needed and according to the cleaning schedule. The man with shredded paper on his floor had already given up waiting for that schedule to be followed.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued.
