Findings include: On 10/23/17 at 1:27 P.M. while standing in the hallway outside of Room 148, a staff member was observed to stomp his foot on the ground, kick something on the ground toward the bathroom and began talking to the Resident #287. The staff member then walked over and picked something off the floor with a paper towel. The staff member was heard informing the resident that he killed a cockroach. Subsequently an interview was done with Resident #287. The resident replied negatively regarding cockroaches; however, reported there are a lot of lizards on the ceiling above her and has concerns that they may fall on her while she is lying in bed. Throughout the survey (10/23/17 through 10/26/17) ants were observed to be crawling on the conference room table. On 10/26/17 at 11:55 [NAME]M. an interview and walk through the facility was done with Staff Member #365. The staff member reported the facility has a contract for pest control. The contractor will come in quarterly for maintenance; however, Staff Member #365 does not keep track/log of when the contractor provides quarterly maintenance. Staff Member #365 also reported the facility will call their contractor if there are concerns. The staff member stated he was not aware of lizards in the facility. The staff member was agreeable to review and provide invoices and e-mails that document that quarterly maintenance (pest control) services were provided by the contractor. On 10/26/17 at approximately 12:30 P.M. Staff Member #365 provided invoices documenting the following: quarterly pest control and rodent control on 9/12/17; rodent control trapping on West Wing Nursing Station on 1/4/17; rodent control trapping, day health on 1/4/17; and quarterly pest control and quarterly rodent control on 12/8/16. A review of the e-mails provided found services were provided on the following dates: 9/26/17 (Pikake Unit, Room 103 ants in room on the floors and walls); and 10/6/17 (Ilima Unit, large black ants on clerk and nurse desk area as well as on wall and floor). An e-mail dated 9/7/17 from the contractor notes the need to schedule the following pest control services: quarterly pest control in/out on 9/12/17 and kitchen monthly pest control on 9/12/17. There is no documentation of quarterly pest control services by the contractor from 12/8/16 through 9/12/17. The facility failed to ensure an effective pest control program was maintained as evidenced by no documentation of quarterly and annual pest control services from the facility's contractor. | 2020-09-01 |
