Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure that one of four sampled
residents (Resident 4) had call lights answered in a timely manner.This failure had the potential to result in

type of leg injury where the tibia (shinbone) breaks in a spiral pattern due to a twisting force, and the
broken ends remain aligned without moving out of place, with the skin remaining closed], chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD-a chronic lung disease causing difficulty in breathing) diabetes

food in accordance with professional standards.

appropriate hair covering in the food service or preparation areas of the kitchen. This deficient practice had
the potential to result in improper food safety practice and could lead to food contamination, and possible
foodborne illness in residents who received food from the kitchen. Findings:During a concurrent observation

Dishwasher 1 was not wearing the required hair coverings while working in the dishwashing area, located
near the food preparation station. Dishwasher 1 stated he did not realize that his hair netting had slipped
out of place, and believed his facial hair was still covered. During an interview on 9/11/2025 at 12:45 p.m.,
in the kitchen, with Assistant Dietary Supervisor (ADS) 1, ADS 1 stated a hair covering not properly
secured could result in hair falling into the residents' food, clean dishes, or food preparation area, and
increased the risk of food contamination. During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) tilted
Preventing Foodborne Illness-Employee Hygiene and Sanitary, undated, the P&P indicated food services
employees would follow appropriate hygiene and sanitary procedures to prevent the spread of foodborne
illness. The P&P indicated all employees who handle, prepare or serve food must wear hair nets and/or
beard restraints to keep hair from contacting exposed food, clean equipment, and utensils.

Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an effective pest control
program to ensure the environment was free of cockroaches. This deficient practice had the potential to
place all residents in the facility at risk for exposure to cockroach-borne contaminants (unsafe, harmful
substances) and unsanitary conditions Findings: During a concurrent observation and interview on
9/11/2025 at 3:40 p.m., in the hallway, with the Director of Nursing (DON), observed one live cockroach
crawling up on the wall near the kitchen in the main hallway. The DON stated the hallway was regularly
used by residents to access the dining room and activity area. The DON stated failure to identify and
address live cockroaches in a resident accessible hallway created the potential for unsanitary conditions
and the spread of cockroaches into food preparation and/or residents' living spaces. The DON stated the
facility's pest control company provided monthly services. The DON stated the maintenance supervisor was
responsible for following up with the pest control company for pest issues. During a concurrent interview
and record review on 9/11/2025 at 3:55 p.m., with the Maintenance Supervisor (MS), the pest control
company service invoices, dated 6/2025 through 9/2025, were reviewed. The service invoices indicated that
the pest control company provided weekly services focused primarily in the kitchen areas. The MS stated
the pest sightings in the hallway had not been addressed because the hallways were not prioritized like the
kitchen. The MS stated the pest control company provided weekly services and provided invoices during
the visits, with recommendations for the following visits, such as site-specific treatment plans, identifying
unresolved problem areas, and proposed corrective actions. The MS stated he could not provide
information regarding the facility's effort to implement pest control recommendations or to ensure
cockroaches were eliminated. During an interview on 9/11/2025 at 4:45 p.m., with the Administrator (ADM),
the ADM stated the pest control company came to the facility on a regular basis as a part of the ongoing
pest control program. The ADM stated services were conducted routinely; however, the ADM could not
provide documentation indicating that specific areas of concern, such as the main hallway near the kitchen,
were evaluated or treated.During a review of the facility's policy and procedures (P&P) titled Pest Control,
revised 5/2008, the P&P indicated the facility would maintain an effective pest control program to ensure
the facility was free of pests and rodents.
