Surveyor observation of Resident ID #148 on 8/9/2018 at 12:16 PM revealed the resident walking inside with his/her walker from the outdoor patio (high room number side). The resident's walker became stuck on the rug as he/she was coming through the door and the resident had to lift the walker over the raised rug. Further observation by the surveyor at the above time revealed that the right corner of the rug in-between the doors (when coming inside from the patio) was frayed into a clump of string on top of the floor (~6 to 8 inches). Additionally, the rug was slightly raised across the length of the doorway. During a surveyor observation on 8/9/2018 at approximately 1:00 PM, in the presence of the Maintenance Director and the Unit Manager, Resident ID #148 proceeded to walk out to the patio with his/her walker, commenting on the condition of the rug. The Director of Maintenance and the Unit Manager acknowledged that the rug needed to be fixed. 2020-09-01
