on them, that would be beyond regular cleaning. he Housekeeping Supervisor stated they personally were involved in stripping and waxing floors, but on days with limited staffing, they were pulled in different directions, and other tasks took priority above stripping and waxing floors. The Housekeeping Supervisor stated a Housekeeping Aide cleaned the D Wing shower room in the North Building daily, and they had not personally seen it, but if a chair in the toilet area of the D Wing shower room had feces on it or if soiled linen was on the floor, that would not be homelike. They stated, If I saw that coming to visit my family members, I would be upset. Additionally, the Housekeeping Supervisor stated the facility's stripping and buffing floor machines worked, but not at 100 percent, as the machines were damaged while being using earlier this month. They stated the Administrator was made aware of the condition of the floor machines.During an

interview on 12/19/2025 at 2:30 PM, the Housekeeping Supervisor stated the floor in front of the second floor Nurses' Station in the South Building and the wall baseboards in the corridor of the second floor were gray-tone due to a buildup of wax and dirt, and regular mopping would not get that out. Additionally, at this time, the Housekeeping Supervisor looked at the privacy curtain in the center of Resident room [ROOM NUMBER]. The curtain had a 1 1/2 inch diameter red stain with smaller light tan stains and a tear that was 5 inches long at the top mesh. The Housekeeping Supervisor stated the large stain could be blood and the smaller stains were likely coffee, and the curtain needed to be washed. They stated the tear in the mesh would likely get further damaged in the wash, and if that happened, it would have to be replaced.During an

interview on 12/19/2025 at 2:45 PM, the Administrator stated the Housekeeping Supervisor told them earlier this week that the floor machines had some functions that were not up to 100 percent. The Administrator stated they advised the Housekeeping Supervisor to contact the leasing company, as the machines might still be under a maintenance contract, but they still needed to follow up on this with the Housekeeping Supervisor. The Administrator also stated the first and second floors of the South Building were waxed in October, but an older mop head was used, which left streaks, and a new strip and wax was needed in those areas. Additionally, the Administrator stated a homelike environment was important for the residents, and clean, shiny floors and clean resident areas made for a homelike environment.10 NYCRR 415.5(h)(1)(2)

and they would have expected an evaluation to have been completed.

the facility never got back to them on the request.10 NYCRR 415.12(f)(1)
