Observation: -In one bathroom, it was observed that the floor around the toilet appeared yellow, and/or discolored. The staff bathroom and laundry room have thick dust collected on air vents on the ceiling.
Outside in the secondary back yard, the following was observed:
-The gate, and a portion of the fenced area that secured the yard, and made it inaccessible to persons in care, has a large section of fence missing, as well as a missing gate. Of concern is a shed, barn/ storage, and a camper that would usually be inaccessible to persons in care (as follows)...
-a camper is being stored, the camper is mounted on wooden work bench/stand. Of concern is the camper has been left at the site, and is no longer useable, and the wood stands supporting the camper is becoming weathered and worn, with the potential of collapse or falling over at some point.
-Next to the camper is an older shed, that was previously used as a chicken coop, the shed is no longer in use but still contains what appears to be chicken nesting materials, and chicken waste, there is also a wasp nest in the shed, the shed is not locked, and could potentially be accessed by persons in care.
-There is a large barn on the property being used to store "donations", some items in the barn have been set aside for disposal, but a plan for disposal has not yet been determined.
-There is a large pile of yard waste between the secondary yard, and the driveway which appears to have been collecting for an extended period of time.
-There is a shed (tractor type shed) that has remnants of plywood and what appeared to be drywall out in the elements, and not for use in the care facility, and potentially accessible to persons in care.
