Based on observation and staff interviews, the facility failed to ensure that flies were not present in the residents' dining room. Findings include: An observation of the lunch meal was conducted on (MONTH) 12, (YEAR) at 11:45 a.m., on the La Oneita nursing unit. During this observation, two fly/bug lights were observed on the wall in the dining room and an air blower was positioned above the outside door leading into the dining room. A weak air current was felt at the top of the door frame. Further observations revealed there were multiple flies on residents, on the dining tables, on the residents' food, on the cups/glasses and on the milk cartons. Residents and staff were also observed swatting at the flies. A resident interview was conducted on (MONTH) 14, (YEAR) at 8:30 a.m. During this interview the resident agreed that there were flies in the dining room and stated, You just get use to it. An interview was conducted on (MONTH) 14, (YEAR) at 8:30 a.m., with a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse/staff #113). Staff #113 stated that although the staff keep the outside door closed and have the fly/bug lights and the air blower, flies are still present in the dining room. Another interview was conducted on (MONTH) 14, (YEAR) at 8:45 a.m., with maintenance staff (staff #4). Staff #4 stated that the two fly/bug lights in the residents' dining room trap the flies on a sticky paper inside and the paper is changed about every two weeks. He stated that he just had his worker change the sticky paper. At this time, the two used sticky papers were observed sticking out of the open trash can in the dining room. Both sticky papers were covered with dead flies. Staff #4 stated that maybe he should start to change the sticky paper every week, since he was informed by the pest control provider that once the sticky paper had too many flies on it, additional flies will not land on it. Staff #4 also stated that he did not keep a maintenance schedule on the fly/bug lights and therefore, was unable to provide any documentation when the sticky paper was last changed, prior to this date. In regards to the air blower, he stated that he had installed it about four months ago and agreed that the blower did not produce much air current. On (MONTH) 14, (YEAR) at 9:00 a.m., an interview was conducted with the Administrator (staff #8). She stated that she thought the fly problem in the La Oneita dining room had been taken care of. Staff #8 later provided a form titled Fly Trap Changing Schedule, which was suppose to be used by the maintenance department. However, during a follow up interview with staff #4, he stated that he had not been aware of this form. |
