The gray floor panels, each measuring 30 inches by five inches, are lifting at the edges with large missing pieces that expose the subfloor underneath. Dialysis nurse RN #841 told inspectors the flooring "was never installed correctly" and worsened after June flooding sent several inches of water flowing under the entry door.
"I was concerned of it being a trip hazard," the nurse said during a December 9 interview. "I've been asking for months for it to get fixed and it has still not been fixed."
The dialysis unit also carries a "foul, biological-waste odor consistent with drain back-up." RN #841 explained that resident body waste from multiple dialysis machines flows through drains under the floors to the outside. Despite multiple cleaning attempts by an outside company, she said, "the odor will not go away."
"A dialysis unit should not have an odor of body waste," the nurse told inspectors.
A restoration contractor who handled flood cleanup recommended closing the dialysis unit for proper restoration, but facility management refused, saying they could not shut down the unit.
Elsewhere in the building, inspectors found the infection preventionist's office ceiling covered in dark brown water stains from roof leaks. In a resident room, a loose plastic door protector created a sharp corner sticking into the doorway entrance, which staff acknowledged "could get injured" residents using wheelchairs.
The door protector repeatedly came loose because wheelchairs got stuck on it. Staff tried duct tape repairs before finally securing it with screws by the inspection's end.
A privacy curtain in the same room bore a three-foot by two-foot stain of what appeared to be dried blood or feces.
