AI-Generated Summary

State inspectors visited Ivy Springs Retirement Cottage on April 19, 2023 and found serious sanitation failures, with toilet seats in the female bathroom visibly smeared with fecal matter at two separate observation times that morning. Residents reported that bathrooms were routinely filthy and that staff directed residents to clean the bathrooms themselves rather than addressing the problem. Inspectors also found that the facility failed to properly document or retain incident reports for two residents who experienced falls or other adverse health changes, and failed to notify family representatives — records could not be produced even after multiple requests. No fine amounts were listed in the provided report, and correction status for both violations is unknown.
