PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 31300 - RCR s.22(1)(c) - A licensee must ensure that all rooms and common areas are (c) maintained in a safe and clean condition.
Observation: The front step, approximately 3 down from the top has broken away at the lip margin. The fragment would be approximately 10 inches long, 1.5-2 inches deep(front to back). It would pose a significant hazard to anyone entering or exiting the building, particularly if they were in a hurry, as in an emergency, to falling down the stairs. The area has been sectioned off with yellow hazard tape and garden chairs. There is adequate space to go around the stair defect, but the safety measures are unsightly.
The kitchen cupboards all have areas of missing melamine around the perimeters of each cabinet. As well as being worn looking it makes sanitation difficult.
There is a bathroom downstairs that is regularly used by one of the residents. There is significant damage to the ceiling due to a previous toilet leak 1.5 years ago. The paint has bubbled in one area about 4 inches in diameter and the paint has come off, there is also paint missing from around a wallboard seam several inches away from the bubble. It measures approximately 4-6 inches in an x configuration showing the gyproc nail and the seams going in 2 directions. There are also several areas of wrinkled paint in the same section. This is unsightly and not sanitizeable.
Corrective Action(s): Please provide a plan that will ensure that maintenance of this facility takes place in a timely manner to ensure the health, safety and dignity of the residents is maintained.
