Staff reported the laundry room located in the West building is used by independent residents. The West Building laundry room also has an area that items can be rinsed prior to washing if needed. Housekeeping staff confirmed they clean the laundry rooms daily and have not observed feces in the machine. One resident reported there was feces in the machine but unable to report date.
