The dialysis unit has 17 chipped and cracked gray floor panels that are "lifting around the edges" or have "large missing pieces exposing subfloor," according to federal inspectors. The unit also "had a foul, biological-waste odor consistent with drain back-up."
Dialysis RN #841 told inspectors the floor panels were "never installed correctly" and got worse after flooding in June. She said she's "been asking for months for it to get fixed and it has still not been fixed."
The nurse confirmed the smell comes from "resident body waste that was going into the drains from the multiple dialysis machines which went under the floors to the outside." A company came out several times to clean the drains but the odor persists.
"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 after water went underneath the floor. The facility refused, saying they couldn't close the unit.
Elsewhere in the building, inspectors found a room entrance with a plastic door protector hanging loose and "exposing a sharp corner sticking out into the doorway entrance." A certified nursing assistant confirmed "a resident could get injured on the loose sharp corner."
The privacy curtain in the same room had "an approximate three feet by two feet area of dark purplish brown staining of either dried blood or feces."
The facility's own policy requires maintaining "a clean, sanitary and orderly environment" that reflects "a personalized, homelike setting."
Staff attempted repairs with duct tape, which came unstuck. The door protector was finally secured with screws by the end of the inspection.
