On 09/18/25, the facility began maintenance and replacement of the drywall in Resident #22's room.Interview with Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) #136 on 09/18/25 at 9:30 A.M. confirmed

the large hole in Resident #22's wall. CNA #136 confirmed it had been that way for a while, but could not say exactly how long. CNA #136 agreed that based on the size of the hole in the drywall, it was something that took a while to happen, and most likely did not happen in a short period of time. She confirmed staff are to report any damage to resident rooms to the maintenance staff in a timely manner.Interview with Maintenance Staff (MS) #162 and the Administrator on 09/18/25 at approximately 1:00 P.M. confirmed the large hole/missing drywall in Resident #22's room.

MS #162 and the Administrator stated they were told about it by staff on 09/12/25, and they were working on getting the materials to fix it.
