73 SANDIA RIDGE CENTER 325032 2216 LESTER DRIVE NE ALBUQUERQUE NM 87112 2019-03-22 689 E 0 1 8F5T11 This is a repeat deficiency from the survey dated 03/14/18. Based on record review, interview and observation, the facility failed to have a door to a utility closet closed and locked. The closet contained an open, unlabeled container of bleach. This deficient practice has the potential to result in harm for all 121 residents who were identified on the resident census provided by the Executive Center Director at the start of survey on 03/18/19 if a resident were to accidentally open and use without appropriate personal protective equipment or for any demented residents on that hall who could mistakenly drink the bleach. The findings are: [NAME] On 03/20/19 at 9:42 am, during a tour of the facility storage and laundry areas, it was observed that a utility closet door was slightly open. Upon entering the utility closet a gallon size bottle was noted on the floor. The bottle did not have a label on it but there was writing on the bottle that stated Clorox. B. On 03/20/19 at 10:30 am, during an interview with the Housekeeping Director (HD), he stated that any of the utility closets should be fully shut and locked, and it did not matter what hall it was on. The HD also indicated that there should not be any unlabeled containers. That would apply to storage rooms and housekeeping carts. C. On 03/20/19 at 9:56 am, an observation was made of the HD taking the unlabeled container and putting it in his office. D. Record review of the Storage 1.1 Environmental Services Policies and Procedures last revised on 11/01/07, indicated the following Process: 4. Storage areas are locked when not in operation to prevent unauthorized access. 5. Chemical Storage: 5.4: Chemicals are stored in their original containers. Chemicals in spray bottles are labeled with contents and hazard warning. 2020-09-01
