Plan of Correction:
1) Since the survey date many of the items in need of repair have been repaired. The kitchen floor will be repaired by a professional floor company in the next 2-3 weeks. 2) The situation will be avoided in the future by regular inspections of the building in general and repairs will be scheduled accordingly. 3) We will conduct inspections on a monthly basis. 4) The process will be overseen by the Maintenance Director.
