a.m. and there are usually not housekeepers during the late night shift. She revealed upon her and other
housekeepers arrival, they only attempt to clean rooms for residents who are already awake, or clean other
non resident spaces. Staff K revealed once she enters rooms to clean, she and other housekeeping staff
will generally empty the trash cans, sweep the floor and mop if needed. She revealed there are times she
comes in and there are soiled floors. She could not say for sure if the floors were soiled after the day crew
left for the night, or if the floors were not cleaned prior to the end of their shift. Staff K was not sure why
trash cans in resident rooms were full and overflowing, nor was she sure why there was sticky floors with
food debris and other refuse in resident rooms at the time housekeeping arrived this a.m.
The Housekeeping Director was not available for interview. Interview with the Nursing Home Administrator
revealed they did not currently have any type of housekeeping or room cleaning policy and procedure. The
Nursing Home Administrator confirmed he did not have any current maintenance facility work orders or
current purchase orders that would indicate the facility was actively working on the above listed concerns.
He confirmed the dining room chairs and indicated that he did not realize the chairs were that worn. The
Nursing Home Administrator revealed that floor staff and housekeeping, or any other staff that see furniture
in that condition, should report those concerns to maintenance once they see it. The Nursing Home
Administrator confirmed there were six dining room chairs with seats that were not maintained and in
disrepair.

food in accordance with professional standards.
Based on observations, facility record review, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure kitchen spaces,
kitchen equipment, and eating ware were maintained, clean and sanitary during two of two meal services
observed. Observations included, 1. Ceiling tiles above food preparation tables were caked with dust and
debris, 2. Dishes were not washed from the day before meal service, 3. Dish washing equipment rusted
and eroding, 4. Meal trays served to residents soiled, cracked and chipped.
Findings included:
On 5/15/2023 at 5:50 a.m. the kitchen was toured and met with a Dietary Aide Staff A, who indicated she
was recently transferred from another facility about two months ago. She revealed that this time of morning
was her normal time when she comes in to work and works the kitchen for both the breakfast and lunch
meal service. Also, in the kitchen was the a.m. and afternoon cook, Staff B. Staff B indicated he has been
employed in the kitchen for about three years. Staff A and B both confirmed that they were the only two
kitchen employees at the time and two others will be in by 6:30 a.m. Staff B revealed the tray line for the
breakfast meal begins at around 7:30 a.m., and that tray carts go out to the halls. He also confirmed the
community dining room is not open during the breakfast meal service. Staff A and B did not have names of
the other staff who were due in at 6:30 a.m.
Both Staff A and B were asked what time the Dietary Manager, Staff C arrives at the facility. They both
revealed Staff C comes in at 9:00 a.m. or just after. They confirmed this was a normal occurrence for Staff
C to come in at and after 9:00 a.m., which is after the entire breakfast meal service.
While speaking with Staff A and B at 5:40 a.m. the following observations were made:
1. Five ceiling tiles/light covers at and near ceiling vents, located above the dish machine area and above
the food prep table and steam table were observed caked with dust and debris. The areas with heavy
debris were directly above where the cook was plating food from the steam table. Photographic evidence
was taken.
2. The dish machine area to include the stainless steel dish return table was observed with two crates of
soiled cups and bowls (approximately 20 cups and bowls total). It was determined that the crate of bowls
and cups were from the previous dinner meal from 5/14/2023. Photographic evidence was taken.
3. The same area on the dish machine table was observed with 8 stacked soiled plates that also appeared
to be from the previous meal service from 5/14/2023. Photographic evidence was taken.
4. The crates of soiled bowls and cups as well as the stack of plates were observed with over 5 small flying
insects flying around the area and landing on the soiled bowls/plates/cups. There were also small flying
insects flying around the floor drain and undercarriage of the dish washing machine.
5. Observations under the dish machine area revealed a metal heating booster, with what appeared to be a
white soiled towel draped on it. Further observations revealed the top metal surface of the booster was
heavily oxidized, rusted and with metal flaking off of it. The booster was also observed leaking a red rust
type of liquid from the bottom of it, causing a red in color pooled liquid on the floor. The staining from the
pooled liquid as well as the actual pool of liquid appeared to be

longstanding and did not just happen during the observation. Upon lifting the soiled towel most of the top
metal lid to the booster was heavily eaten away from rust and exposing the inside components, as well as
not leaving a cleanable surface. Photographic evidence was taken.
6. There were many (over forty) black in color plastic trays used to hold plates of food, cups of liquid,
napkins and eating utensils. These trays are sent out each meal to residents while either in their rooms or in
the main dining room. At least twenty of these trays were observed in disrepair with what appeared to be
white oxidation and with cracked and chipped off ends, leaving sharp edges.
The kitchen was toured at 6:30 a.m., with the same above listed observations. Two addition kitchen aides,
Staff D and E had just arrived and were preparing for the breakfast meal service. Staff D and E both
confirmed that the Dietary Manager has not arrived at the facility yet, and does not usually arrive until after
9:00 a.m. Staff A, B, D, and E did not know why the Dietary Manager doesn't come in until 9:00 a.m. or
after. Another kitchen cook, Staff F arrived at the facility around 7:15 a.m.
Interviews with Staff A, B, D, E and F at that time revealed they were not sure why there were crates of
soiled dishes on the dish washing machine rack, and that the previous night shift must not have collected
and washed all the dishes. They all also confirmed there were small flying insects at and near the soiled
dishes, as well as under the dish washing machine and the floor drain. They all indicated that they have had
a small fly problem for awhile now, and that an outside company has come out to treat but the flies keep
coming back.
At 11:00 a.m. the kitchen was toured again and the Dietary Manager was still not in the building to speak
with. Interviews with Staff A, B, D, and E at that time indicated there was a daily cleaning schedule with
cleaning expectations, but they did not know where it was. None of the staff interviewed could explain how
and when the Ceiling tiles/vents are cleaned, when dishes are expected to be cleaned by, why soiled towels
were draped over eroding mechanical equipment, and when serving trays are observed for cleanliness and
maintenance.
On 5/15/2023 at 11:25 a.m. the kitchen was toured with the Nursing Home Administrator. He confirmed the
above listed observations of concern and indicated he did not have any current plans or work/repair
purchase orders, nor any listed kitchen renovations to show the areas were identified and being worked on.
He further confirmed he could not at that time verify why there were areas not maintained and sanitary as
the Dietary Manager had not come in yet to be interviewed. The Nursing Home Administrator revealed he
would look for the kitchen cleaning schedule to provide for review.
The Nursing Home Administrator as of 1:30 p.m. was not able to provide the daily kitchen cleaning
schedule for review. Throughout the morning from 5:40 a.m., 7:30 a.m. and 11:25 a.m., The Director of
Nursing, the Nursing Home Administrator and Dietary Kitchen staff were all asked to have the Dietary
Manager speak to the State surveyor upon his arrival. However, as of 1:30 p.m., just prior to the survey
inspection exit, the Dietary Manager was not available or made himself available for interview. It was
determined the Dietary Manager was not in the building from at least 5:40 a.m. through to 1:00 p.m. It could
not be confirmed what type of cleaning is performed either generally, or deep cleaned on a daily basis; nor
was the day shift kitchen staff aware of what the cleaning schedule entailed.
The Nursing Home Administrator revealed that it is the Maintenance Department's responsibility to clean
the ceiling vents and ceiling tiles and indicated that the TELS system notifies when the

ceiling vents are to be cleaned. However, he confirmed the ceiling vents and tiles surrounding the vents
were caked with dust/debris. He confirmed the areas should be cleaned more frequently.
Interview with the Maintenance Director at 1:35 p.m. confirmed the ceiling vents/tiles in the kitchen were
soiled and dusty. He revealed that they needed to be cleaned more often and that kitchen staff should also
help to make him aware if the vents/tiles need to be dusted. The Maintenance Director also confirmed the
small flying insects and indicated this has been a recent ongoing problem and he has been looking to
purchase electronic fly traps for the kitchen. He also indicated that the pest control comes in routinely to
treat for pests. He confirmed they cannot have an effective pest control program if staff leave unwashed and
soiled dishes overnight in the kitchen.
The Nursing Home Administrator did not have a Kitchen Cleaning/Maintenance policy and procedure for
review.

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observations, staff and resident interviews, and facility record review, the facility failed to maintain
an effective pest control program related to small flying insects in areas to include: One of one main dining
rooms, the kitchen, the main activities room, and one of three unit station areas (south wing).
Residents Affected - Some
Findings included:
On 5/15/2023 During observations in the main dining room at 5:50 a.m., 10:00 a.m., during lunch meal
service at 12:30 p.m. and again at 1:00 p.m., the main dining room was observed with over ten small flying
insects near and at the sink area, near and at where the tray carts were stored near the kitchen entrance
doors, and throughout the dining room at various tables.
On 5/15/2023 during first tour of the kitchen at 5:50 a.m. and while interviewing the Kitchen Aide Staff A
and the Kitchen [NAME] Staff B, the area near the dish machine and on the dish machine side table were
two crates with what appeared to be food soiled bowls and cups. Also, there was a stack of seven food
soiled plates in the same area. Upon interview with the Staff A and B, they both revealed that staff from the
night before must not have washed all the dishes and that they were from the previous night's 5/14/2023
dinner meal service. Staff A and B confirmed several small flying insects flying around the crates of soiled
eating ware. They were not sure where the insects came from but indicated the flying insects have been in
the kitchen on and off for some time (exact timeframe not given). They also confirmed more flying insects
under the dish machine carriage and near the floor drain.
During the lunch meal service at 12:30 p.m. there were over ten residents seated at tables eating their
lunch meal. It was further observed small flying insects were flying around tables where residents were
seated as well as flying off and on resident meal trays.
Random resident interviews with three residents who wished to remain confidential, revealed that the bug
problem has been getting worse in the dining room and also in their rooms over the past few weeks. They
have notified their nurse and maintenance director but with no resolution.
On 5/15/2023 at 6:00 a.m. and 9:10 a.m. interviews with Direct care Staff G, H, I, and J, all revealed that
they have noticed small flying insects, roaches, and ants in resident rooms, around the nurse stations, in
the dining rooms, activities rooms and in the shower rooms. They were aware on how to report pests and
have done so in the past but also revealed it does not appear that the pest control treatments are working.
Staff G, H, I, and J, also revealed that residents do complain about bugs every so often.
During the 7-3 shift on 5/15/2023 random resident interviews with five residents who all wished to remain
as confidential interviews, all revealed that there are bugs to include small flying insects, ants and
cockroaches throughout the building. They all indicated the pests have been ongoing for awhile and they
have spoken to staff to include their nurse and maintenance director but pest control does not seem to get
any better.
On 5/15/2023 at 1:20 p.m. an interview with the Maintenance Director revealed the facility does have a
current pest control service, which treats about once a week. He further revealed that he has made request
calls for treatment other than scheduled visits with relation to ants, cockroaches and
