On 8/1/23 at 3:50 p.m., the DON said if a resident wanted to go outside, they needed to be assessed to see
if they are safe to be outside alone. If not, they need to make a request to go out and a staff member must
take them because they can't be outside alone.
Residents Affected - Few
The DON confirmed Residents #2 and #56 had not been screened to identify if they were safe to go
outside of the facility alone.
On 8/2/23 at 8:50 a.m., in an interview with the DON, the Administrator and the Regional Nurse Consultant,
the DON said she checked the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score for Resident #2 and #56, and
both residents have a high BIMS score and may go outside.
The Administrator said, we would like for them to go in the supervised courtyard because it is supervised.
We are concerned they may become affected by the heat, and we can provide fluids out there.
The Administrator said she would speak to the residents today so they know they can go outside on the
supervised patio area.
The DON said, we are a secured facility, and the doors are always locked because we don't want the
residents to wander off.

Honor the resident's right to request, refuse, and/or discontinue treatment, to participate in or refuse to
participate in experimental research, and to formulate an advance directive.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
staff interviews and record review the facility failed to ensure they had discussed formulating an advance
directive which would include the right to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment with the resident or
their representative for 1 (Resident #86) of 3 residents reviewed for advance directives.
The findings included:
A review of the facility policy, The Residents' Rights Regarding Treatment and Advance Directives
implemented 11/2020, and last reviewed/revised on 1/2022 stated it was the policy of the facility to support
and facilitate a resident's right to request, refuse, refuse and/or discontinue medical or surgical treatment
and to formulate an advance directive. Under the Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines, number 5
stated the facility would identify or arrange for an appropriate representative for the resident to serve as the
primary decision maker if the resident was assessed as unable to make relevant health care decisions.
On 8/1/23 review of Resident #86's medical records revealed she was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and
placed in the facility's secure memory care unit. The MDS (Minimum Data Set) admission assessment, (a
standardized assessment tool that measures health status) dated 12/11/22, assessed Resident #86's
cognitive score as 5 out of 15, with a score of 0 to 7 meaning the resident's cognition status was severely
impaired. Resident #86's MDS quarterly assessment dated [DATE] noted a cognitive score of 7 and
Resident #86's MDS quarterly assessment dated [DATE] noted a cognitive score of 00.
On 6/9/23 Resident #86's primary care physician conducted an evaluation and determined Resident #86
lacked the capacity to give informed consent to make medical decisions. A Social Service Progress note
dated 2/17/23 stated they were asked to start a guardianship for Resident #86. They had contacted a legal
representative to see if they would be a guardian for Resident #86. A nursing progress note dated 5/11/23
stated they had called Resident #86's daughter and husband, but all the phone numbers were
disconnected or had been blocked. The note stated the facility would be looking into a guardianship for
Resident #86.
On 8/2/23 at 9:36 a.m., the Social Service Director (SSD) said the nursing home currently does not have a
full-time SSD, so the nursing home's sister facility are sending their SSD to the facility Monday through
Friday to complete the required social service duties. The SSD confirmed after reviewing Resident #86
medical record, Resident #86 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] to the facility's memory care unit due to
her severely impaired cognition. She confirmed the MDS assessments dated 12/11/22, 3/28/23, and
4/23/23 assessed Resident #86's cognition as severely impaired. The SSD said due to the facility staff
being unable to contact Resident #86's family since Resident #86's admission, she had written a progress
note on 2/17/23 stating she would try to arrange for a guardianship for Resident #86. She said she was
unable to find any documentation in Resident #86's medical record, the facility had obtained a guardianship
for Resident #86. She said she was unable to find documentation the facility had discussed with Resident
#86 and/or a representative about Resident #86's health care decision related to formulating an advance
directive.
On 8/3/23 at 5:26 p.m., in an interview with MDS Coordinator, after she reviewed Resident #86's medical
record, she confirmed Resident #86 was admitted to the facility's memory care unit on 12/7/22 due to her
impaired cognition. She confirmed the MDS assessments dated 12/11/22, 3/28/23, and 4/23/23

assessed Resident #86's cognition as severely impaired. The MDS Coordinator said currently Resident #86
did not have a Power of Attorney (POA), Healthcare Surrogate or court appointed guardian to assist in
making health care decisions for her. She further said she was unable to find documentation the facility had
discussed with Resident #86 and/or a representative about Resident #86's health care decision related to
formulating an advance directive.
Residents Affected - Few
On 8/4/23 at 9:51 a.m., the Administrator said the facility's policy stated if the resident was unable to make
their own health care decisions and they were unable to get in touch with a resident representative, the
facility was responsible to attempt to find a legal guardianship for that resident.
The Administrator confirmed after reviewing Resident #86's medical record, the resident was admitted to
the facility on [DATE]. She said due to Resident #86's cognitive impairment since her admission she was
unable to make health care decisions for herself. The Administrator said there was no documentation the
facility had discussed with Resident #86 and/or a representative about Resident #86's health care
decisions related to formulating an advance directive as required per their Advance Directive policy.

substance in the middle of the brown stain.
The chair rail on the wall behind bed 318B was observed to be broken and missing sections. The
baseboard across from 318B was observed to be damaged and coming off the wall. The bathroom bulbs in
rooms [ROOM NUMBERS] were observed as not working.
On 8/3/23 at 10:47 a.m., the Director of Plant Operations said the facility currently did not have a
Maintenance Director since 7/5/23. He said he had been filling in as the facility's Maintenance Director
since then until they were able to hire a new Maintenance Director for the facility. He said all staff were
required when they observed and/or heard of any facility damage or equipment not working to place the
information in their computer maintenance program called TELS as a work order (is a web-based software
designed to help senior Living operators and maintenance tract and schedule maintenance anf fire safety
task). He stated he reviewed the TELS system on a routine basis, completed all work orders in the TELS
system, and marked them as completed in the TELS program when he had finished the repair and/or work
order.
On 8/4/23 at 3:00 p.m. after a tour of the 300 and 400 hallways, the Director of Plant Operations confirmed
multiple damaged wall repairs in the 300 and 400 hallways which were not painted to match the walls as
required. He confirmed the end cap on the handrail on the 400 hallway was missing, there were several
brown stained ceiling tiles in rooms [ROOM NUMBERS], and 1 ceiling tile in room [ROOM NUMBER] which
had a black fuzzy substance in the middle of the brown stain. He confirmed the light bulbs in the bathroom

missing a section, and the baseboard across from 318B's bed was damaged and falling off the wall.
The Director of Plant Operations, after reviewing the work orders in the TELS computer system, said the
facility staff did not enter the rooms and hallway damages and damage/repairs observed during our tour of
the memory care unit into the TELS system as work orders as required. He said since the facility staff did
not enter the work orders into the TELS system, he was unaware of the repairs needing to be completed in
the facility.

of disease-causing pests.
On 12/19/22 the facility became aware of rodent infestation in the building, including the kitchen. The facility
consistently failed to implement the recommendations from the contracted pest control company to trim
back over hanging trees next to the building to prevent wildlife from getting easier access to the building.
The facility failed to identify and repair all rodent entry points.
The failure to provide a safe and sanitary environment free of disease causing pests created a likelihood of
spread of diseases through direct or indirect contact with infected rodents which could result in serious
illness, or death, resulting in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) starting on 12/19/22.
Rodents can also damage building structures and start fires by gnawing electrical wiring.

Rodent Infestations, last reviewed on January 3, 2023, noted, Rats and mice are known to carry many
diseases. These diseases can spread to people directly, through handling of rodents; contact with rodent
feces (poop), urine, or saliva (such as through breathing in air or eating food that is contaminated with
rodent waste); or rodent bites. Rodents can also carry ticks, mites, or fleas that can act as vectors to spread
diseases between rodents and people. Many diseases do not cause any apparent illness in rodents, so you
cannot tell if a rodent is carrying a disease just by looking at it . Rodents, such as rats, mice . are known to
carry many diseases. Diseases can spread to people directly and indirectly from rodents .''
The CDC document listed 17 Diseases that can be spread directly by rodents (depending on geographic
region), including Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (The condition affects many organ systems of
the body, damages the overall cardiovascular system, and reduces the body's ability to function on its own.
Symptoms of this type often include bleeding and hemorrhaging. This can cause a severe life threatening
disease), Monkeypox (Virus that affects rodents, and causes a painful rash, enlarged lymph nodes and
fever in humans), and rat-bite fever (causes fever, vomiting, headache, muscle, and joint pain, and rash in
humans).
Certain diseases can spread from rodents to people through indirect contact. This can occur when people
are bitten by ticks, mites, fleas, and mosquitos that have fed on infected rodents. Diseases can also spread
to people from rodents through the consumption of an intermediate host (for example, beetles or
cockroaches) .
The CDC document lists 17 diseases spread indirectly by rodents (depending on geographic region),
including Angiostrongylus (rat lungworm), a disease transmitted from rodents to humans through infected
larvae that affects the brain and spinal cord in humans, and Powassan virus (transmitted by ticks, and
causes brain infection in humans).
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation to clean up rodent urine and droppings
(last reviewed January 3, 2023) noted,
Step 1: Put on rubber or plastic gloves.
Step 2: Spray urine and droppings with bleach solution or an EPA-registered disinfectant until very wet. Let
it soak for 5 minutes or according to instructions on the disinfectant label.
Step 3: Use paper towels to wipe up the urine or droppings and cleaning product.
Step 4: Throw the paper towels in a covered garbage can that is regularly emptied.
Step 5: Mop or sponge the area with a disinfectant.
o Clean all hard surfaces including floors, countertops, cabinets, and drawers.
o Follow instructions below to clean and disinfect other types of surfaces.
Step 6: Wash gloved hands with soap and water or a disinfectant before removing gloves.
Step 7: Wash hands with soap and warm water after removing gloves or use a waterless alcohol-based
hand rub when soap is not available, and hands are not visibly soiled.

afraid of the rats. You hear them running across the ceiling. I'm so scared they are going to fall on me. They
are out anytime of the day. You have to open the doors to the soiled utility room and the nourishment room
really carefully because they run away from you and go into the holes in the cabinets.
On 8/3/23 at 9:25 a.m., observation of the South Unit soiled utility room with LPN Staff I revealed a hole in

everywhere in the building. I have seen them in residents' rooms, the utility rooms and nourishment rooms.
They run in the ceiling, you hear scratching, and you can hear them run around up there. If it fell on me, I
would be screaming. I know I have reported it to the management staff, but the rats are still here. It doesn't
matter what time of day, you will see them, but they are worse at night.

heard of rats in the facility. She said, I don't know anything about it. I certainly have never seen any; this is
the first I'm hearing about it.
After reviewing the content of the reports of the contracted pest control company and the observation of
rodent feces on the floor of the kitchen storage area with the Infection Preventionist, she said, I knew there
were rats in the kitchen about six months ago when the former Administration was here, but I was told it
was taken care of.
On 8/3/23 at 12:05 p.m., the Regional Plant Operation Director said he has been employed with the
company since September 2022, and had been the acting Maintenance Director at the facility since the
beginning of July 2023. He said he became aware of possible rat problem after they started to replace the
facility roof in February 2023 which was completed sometimes in June 2023.
He said he started hearing from some of the facility staff about seeing rats and hearing rats in the ceiling
during the roof construction.
He said the first time he heard of rats in the kitchen was two weeks ago when a kitchen staff told him they
saw a rat in the kitchen. He looked at the area where the kitchen staff said they saw the rat, and noted there
was a hole in the wall.
He said he has not had any meetings with the administrative staff related to the rats in the facility.
He said as of this time no one from administration has asked him what interventions he had put into place
to address the staff seeing rats in the facility.
He said he conducted an informal meeting with the housekeeping director to remind her staff to ensure they
were not leaving food which the rats might be eating, and remind them to do proper cleaning and
disinfection in general. It was an informal meeting; he doesn't have any documentation related to the
meeting.
On 8/3/2023 at 12:08 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff A said she has worked at the facility for
over 10 years, and she can smell the rats.
On 8/3/23 at 12:10 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff K said she has seen rats in the facility,
usually at night on the South Unit. The CNA said the rats are really bad on the secured memory unit. She
said, I have seen roaches and the rats over there. It is an infestation there.
On 8/3/23 at 12:20 p.m., CNA Staff E said, The roaches and the rats here are terrible, it is a problem. I have
seen them both here in the facility, they know about it.
On 8/3/2023 at 12:25 p.m., Resident #29 said he had seen rats in the front and back of the building and
heard them in the ceiling.
On 8/3/23 at 12:33 p.m., the Housekeeping Manager stated, There are pest issues at facility, they called the
pest guy weekly.

and neglect by anybody.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record review, review of the facility's policies and procedures and staff interviews, the facility
failed to protect the residents' rights to be free from neglect in that they failed to adequately address
ongoing presence of rats in the facility, including the kitchen.
On 12/19/22 the facility became aware of the rodent infestation in the building, including the kitchen, and
neglected to implement appropriate immediate actions to eradicate the rodent infestation.
Certain diseases can spread from rodents to people from direct or indirect contact with infected rodents
which could result in serious illness, or death.
Rodents can also damage building structures and start fires by gnawing electrical wiring.
The facility failed to consistently implement recommendations from the contracted pest control company,
including trimming back over hanging trees next to the building to prevent wildlife easier access to the
building.
The facility failed to identify and repair all rodent entry points into the building.
The facility failure to provide services to ensure a clean and safe environment, free from disease causing
pests resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) starting on 12/19/22.
On 8/4/23 at 7:28 p.m., the Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy and provided the IJ
templates.
The Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing.
The facility census was 86.
The findings included:
Cross reference to F584, F812, F835, F867, F880 and F925.

6/15/23, and 6/29/23.
On 8/3/23, the facility provided copies of email exchanges between the facility and the pest control
company.
Residents Affected - Some
On 4/18/23 the pest control company noted, The best option to rid the facility of this rodent issue is a
multi-step process. First we will need to seal up any holes, openings, entry points, and areas where rodents
access into the building. I found several openings such as roof returns, plumbing stacks, AC (air
conditioning) chases, opening around wires, and around conduits entering into building. The next step is a
full trapping program for 1 month. We will do a 3 day trapping where we place traps in drop down ceiling but
not set the traps. This will get the rodents from being trap shy and allow for the best capture rate . I know
this facility is undergoing roof repairs, but my recommendation is for us to start this exclusion right after the
roofers have completed their service .
On 8/3/23 at 12:05 p.m., the Regional Plant Operation Director said he has been employed with the
company since September 2022, and has been the acting Maintenance Director at the facility since the
beginning of July 2023.
He said he became aware of possible rat problem after they started to replace the facility roof in February
2023. The roof repair was completed several months later, sometime in June 2023.
He said he started hearing from some of the facility staff about seeing rats and hearing rats in the ceiling
during the roof construction.
He said started emailing the pest control company in April 2023 about the rats in the facility, who gave him
some recommendations about what they can do about stopping the rats from entering the facility.
He said the pest control company told him the rats could not be fully removed from the facility until the new
roof was completed and all entry points were sealed.
The Regional Plant Operation Director said he got over a hundred rodent entry points sealed sometime in
June 2023, and the pest control company signed an eradication agreement to remove all the rats in the
facility on 7/20/23.
The Regional Plant Operation Director toured the exterior of the facility and showed some possible rodent
entry points he closed or covered to prevent the rats from entering the facility. He said the pest control
company provides him with their findings for each visit, and he was aware of all the pest control
recommendations the facility needed to implement to address the rats in the facility.
He said he had not had an opportunity to trim back the trees overhanging branches the rats could use to
get on the roof and enter the facility.
On 8/3/23 at 9:25 a.m., Licensed practical Nurse (LPN) Staff I said, The rats are so bad. They have roaches
and rats, but I'm more afraid of the rats. You hear them running across the ceiling. I'm so scared they are
going to fall on me. They are out anytime of the day. You have to open the doors to the soiled utility room
and the nourishment room really carefully because they run away from you

On 8/2/23 at 8:20 a.m., while observing Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff H, administer medications to
Resident #55, observation revealed Resident #55 did not have a breakfast tray at the bedside or in the
room.
Resident #55's roommate had a breakfast tray.
LPN Staff H finished administering medications and said to Resident #55, They will be in to feed you soon.
On 8/2/23 at 8:40 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistants were observed collecting breakfast trays for the
assigned hall area. LPN Staff H said, I don't know if she [Resident #55] got any breakfast.
LPN Staff H looked in the collected breakfast trays and said she could not find one for Resident #55. After
reviewing Resident #55's paperwork she said Resident #55 came from the hospital the day before and it
looked like the nurse from the evening and night shift did not send a diet order to the kitchen for Resident
#55.
She said the kitchen would not have known to send her a tray.
LPN Staff H said Resident #55 required total assistance with feeding, was aphasic (inability speak) and
could not communicate she had not eaten.
LPN Staff H said, I hope this does not come back to fall on me. I will enter the order now and go get her a
breakfast.
On 8/2/23 at 8:50 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) said the evening nurse who readmitted the resident
should have activated the medication and diet orders. The DON said she did not know why it was not done.
On 8/2/23 at 9:10 a.m., CNA Staff L, assigned to Resident #55 for the shift said I didn't see her tray. I
thought someone fed her. I was in room (Room #) feeding someone else. CNA Staff L confirmed she had
not asked anyone else to assist Resident #55 with her meal and was unaware Resident #55 had not
received anything to eat when she repositioned and settled her in bed a short while ago.
CNA Staff L confirmed the resident did not communicate verbally and said, I can go get her something now.
I did not know she had not eaten.
Clinical records reviewed for Resident #55 including comprehensive care plan revised on 5/19/23 which

for six of the 30 days. Resident #55 had 72 opportunities for staff to document meal intake during the time
period reviewed. No documentation of a meal being provided or eaten in the clinical records for 39 of the 72
meals.
On 8/3/23 at 10:30 a.m., the DON said she expects staff assigned to each resident to make sure the
resident has their meals. If they are unable to feed the resident themselves then they need to hand off to
either another CNA or the assigned nurse. The DON said she was unaware so many of the meals had not
been documented for Resident #55.
The DON said she knew resident had her meals but could not guarantee it because of the lack of
documentation and the resident's condition. She said, I have work to do with the staff.
On 8/4/23 at 12:15 p.m., interviewed CNA, Staff GG, assigned to resident #65 about the resident's daily
hygiene needs. The CNA said if the resident is not scheduled for a shower, she will get her up and dressed,
wash her face, and brush her teeth to get her ready for the day.
She said she had already done these things for the resident today.
Observation of Resident #65's room, and bathroom with CNA Staff GG failed to reveal a toothbrush, or
toothpaste.
CNA Staff GG said, I usually keep them in the upper drawer.
She opened the drawer of the resident's dresser, no toothbrush or toothpaste were present.
CNA Staff GG said, I remember. She did not have a toothbrush, so I had her gargle today.
CNA Staff GG verified it was not routine to have residents gargle instead of brushing their teeth. She said,
We don't have toothbrushes a lot. Gargling cleans out their mouths too.
On 8/4/23 at 12:30 p.m., Unit Manager LPN, Staff AA said gargling was not acceptable in place of brushing
teeth. She said, We have been having issues with having the toothbrushes available. We are making tooth
care kits for one time use now and they can be placed on the high shelf in the closet.
On 8/4/23 at 12:50 p.m., the DON said they have been having issues with toothbrush supplies, so they
were making oral kits today. The kits were to make sure the CNAs have toothbrushes and toothpaste
available for the residents in their rooms. The DON confirmed it was unacceptable to have the resident
gargle instead of brushing their teeth, and the CNAs were expected to help them brush their teeth and
perform oral care.
Records reviewed for Resident #65 including comprehensive care plan documented the resident has
potential for dental or oral problem related to some missing teeth. Interventions included assist or complete
mouth/oral care daily and PRN (as needed).
Review of the CNA documentation for July 2023 showed no oral care provided for seven of 31 days in the
month.

LPN Staff H said, I don't know why they did not order them. I got two of the medications from the
medication room supply. I will have the rest later today.
On 8/2/23 at 8:45 a.m., the Director of Nursing (DON) was interviewed about Resident #55's orders not
sent to the pharmacy after readmission the previous evening 8/1/23 around 600 p.m. The DON reviewed
the records and said, I don't know why the nurse did not get the medications from pharmacy. That should
not have happened.
On 8/2/23 at 5:10 p.m., observation of the North Back Hall medication cart with Registered Nurse (RN)
Staff M revealed a personal coffee cup stored in the center of the medication drawer.
RN Staff M verified personal cups should not be stored in the medication cart and said, I had to go into a
room, and we can't leave anything on the cart. RN Staff M said, I can't lie, and I don't want anyone else to

asked if he checks the cart when working, RN Staff M replied, I don't know.
On 8/2/23 at 5:30 p.m., The DON said, we just checked the carts the other day. I don't know why there are
so many loose pills. It is a nurse's responsibility to ensure the carts are clean and the counts are correct.
The DON said it was unacceptable for a nurse to store his coffee cup inside the medication drawer and that
there should not be loose unaccounted for medications in the bottom of the drawer.
On 8/2/23 at 5:30 p.m., RN Staff M was observed conducting a narcotic count with the Director of Nursing
(due to the loose half pill in the narcotic drawer which appeared to be Ativan.
The narcotic book was at nurses' station not with cart.
RN, Staff M, said, Let me get the book. I can't leave it on the cart because the residents will take it.
RN, Staff M said, Wait let me fill in the medications I have already given. RN Staff M documented on the
declining inventory of the narcotic log for six residents, #67, #73, #70, # 35, #194 and #88 as follows:

and the physician was contacted and authorized the administration of the lorazepam outside of the
scheduled time.
Review of the clinical record for Resident #88 revealed an active physician's order dated 7/1/23 for
alprazolam once a day at bedtime for anxiety. The medication was scheduled to be administered every
evening at 8:00 p.m.
RN Staff M had administered the alprazolam to the resident three hours prior to the scheduled time.
The clinical record lacked documentation of behavior to support the early administration. There was no
documentation the physician was contacted and had authorized the early administration of the alprazolam.
On 8/2/23 at 6:30 p.m., the Administrator who is the risk manager, and the Regional Nurse Consultant said
RN Staff M, was suspended pending investigation. They said they were not sure if the situation was drug
diversion or medicating without orders and had contacted the police. The administrator said she did not
know why the discontinued controlled substances were still in the medication carts.
On 8/3/23 at 10:07 a.m., the DON said she could not explain why the narcotics were kept in the
medications carts several weeks after they were discontinued. She said the discontinued narcotics would
be brought to the DON for destruction. The DON said, I cannot control everything. Best practice we know
they should not have been in the cart. It is an expectation that when medication is discontinued you bring to
the DON.
The DON verified she has been employed at the facility since April 2023 and she has not sought out
discontinued narcotics but has waited for staff to bring them to her. The DON said, moving forward I will be
going to those carts every day.
The DON confirmed when she receives discontinued narcotics, she places them with the declining
inventory log paper into the double locked cabinet in her office. The DON said she did not know what was
currently in her cabinet and had no means of reconciling if what was in the cabinet matched medications
which had been discontinued at facility.
On 8/3/23 10:55 a.m., during a telephone interview the consultant pharmacist said he comes to the facility
every four to six weeks, but it was not a scheduled visit. The pharmacist said it was the responsibility of the
nursing team to collect and secure discontinued narcotics until he is at the facility for destruction. The
pharmacist and the pharmacy technicians do not remove discontinued medications from the medication
carts.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record review, resident and staff interviews the facility failed to ensure 2 (Resident #29 and
Resident #88) of 2 residents reviewed experiencing mouth pain, received dental services to meet their
needs.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings included:
The facility policy for Dental Services Implemented 1/2022 and last revised 5/2022 stated, it is the policy of
this facility to assist residents in obtaining routine (to the extent covered under the State plan) and
emergency dental care.
Routine dental services means an annual inspection of the oral cavity for signs of disease, diagnosis of
dental disease/dental radiographs as needed, dental cleaning, fillings, minor partial or full denture
adjustments, smoothing broken teeth, and limited prosthodontic procedures, e.g., taking impressions for
dentures and fitting dentures.
Emergency dental services include services needed to treat an episode of acute pain in teeth, gums, or
palate; broken, or otherwise damaged teeth, or any other problem of the oral cavity that required immediate
attention by a dentist.
On 8/01/23 at 11:45 a.m., Resident #29, he said he has been a resident at the facility for 16 months. He
said he had pain when he ate due to broken teeth.
The resident opened his mouth. Multiple broken teeth were observed worn down to the down to the gum
line on his lower jaw. He said the facility offered to send him to a dentist when he was admitted but no one
has mentioned it since.
He said he told them he would have to be put to sleep to have the work done because he was scared of
going to the dentist. He said he was afraid of the pain and would be unable to have dental work if he was
awake. He said he would love to get his teeth fixed or get dentures.
Resident #29 was admitted to the facility on [DATE]. His BIMS (Brief Interview for Mental Status) was a 15
of 15 which indicated the resident was cognitively intact.
The admission Record noted the primary payer to be Humana Medicaid.
Resident # 29's Care Plan initiated on 4/27/2023 stated Resident #29 has 1 tooth, history of inflamed
gums, but no complaints of anything new. The goal was for resident to be free of infection, pain, or bleeding
in the oral cavity by review date. Interventions listed as initiated were coordinate arrangements for dental
care, transportation as needed/as ordered . Diet as ordered. Consult with dietitian and change if
chewing/swallowing problems are noted . Monitor/document/report as needed any signs or symptoms of
oral/dental problems needing attention: Pain, abscess, debris in mouth, lips cracked or bleeding, teeth
missing, loose, broken, eroded, decayed, tongue inflamed, ulcers in mouth, lesions. There were no further
interventions or documentation addressing Resident # 29 dental issues in the resident's care plan.
Resident #29's oral evaluation completed on 4/20/2022 noted some missing teeth and, has very few teeth.

Ensure each resident receives and the facility provides food prepared in a form designed to meet individual
needs.
Based on observation and record review, the facility failed to ensure residents with chewing or swallowing
problems were served diets in a form to meet their individualized needs as prescribed by their physician for
2 (Resident #58 and #61) of 9 residents reviewed. This failure could potentially cause inadequate nutritional
intake or swallowing concerns.
The findings included:
The facility dietary guideline titled: Texture Progression stated Pureed: all foods must be presented in a form
that is homogenous and cohesive in nature, e.g. foods should have a pudding or mousse like consistency.
Most foods would be pureed and/or strained to ensure a smooth cohesive consistency without lumps.
On 7/31/23 at 11:54 a.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Staff Q was observed feeding Resident #58 a
pureed diet. The blueberry muffin was not pureed into a homogenous smooth texture. The CNA stated,
those look like blueberries, its chunky.
Photographic evidence obtained
On 8/1/23 at 12:23 p.m., Resident #61 and Resident #58 were observed eating lunch. Both Residents had
orders for a pureed diet and received pureed mixed vegetable with multiple seed like substances. The
texture was chunky not a smooth, even texture.
Photographic evidence obtained.
CNA staff F agreed the pureed vegetable was chunky, not smooth.
On 8/1/23 at 12:32 p.m., The Senior Regional Director of Culinary Services observed the food and stated it
was not what he would have expected to see for pureed.
On 8/1/23 at approximately 1:30 p.m., the cook stated spinach was the vegetable on the menu and he
stated spinach was difficult to puree so he used a combination of butter beans and lima beans.
On 8/2/23 at 1:21 p.m., Speech Therapist Staff S stated typically puree should be a smooth consistency
without texture. There should not be any chunks, it should be a smooth consistency.
On 8/3/23 at 3:33 p.m., the Director of Food and Nutrition Services stated she was concerned about the
texture of the pureed vegetable and verified the pureed blueberry muffin served to Resident #58 at lunch
time on 7/31/23 was left over from breakfast and was not a smooth consistency.

Procure food from sources approved or considered satisfactory and store, prepare, distribute and serve
food in accordance with professional standards.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, record review, and interview the facility failed to mitigate rodent infestation in the foodservice
establishment and failed to take effective measures to protect packaged food, clean equipment, single
service, and single use items from contamination from rodents.
On 12/19/22 the facility became aware of rodent infestation in the kitchen and failed to take effective
immediate actions to eradicate rodent infestation, store and prepare food in a manner to prevent
contamination from disease causing rodents.
This failure created a serious threat to residents health and safety due to the spread of certain diseases
from rodents to people from cross contamination of food and equipment from infected rodent urine, feces,
and saliva which could result in serious illness or death and resulted in the determination of Immediate
Jeopardy at a scope and severity of pattern (K) starting on 12/19/22.
On 8/4/23 at 7:28 p.m., the Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy and provided the IJ
templates.
The Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing.
The facility census was 86 with 85 residents consuming an oral diet.
The findings included:
Cross reference to F584, F600, F835, F867, F880 and F925.
The facility's NEXTLEVEL policy Food Storage-Dry Goods (policy 18), with an effective date of 10/2019,
stated it is the center policy to ensure all dry goods will be appropriately stored in accordance with
guidelines of the FDA Food Code . The Dining Services Director or designees ensures that the storage
area . shall not be subject to contamination by condensation, leakage, rodents, or vermin.
The Dining services Director or designee ensures that all packaged and canned food items shall be kept
clean, dry, and properly sealed.
Review of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention document titled, How to Control Wild
Rodent Infestations, last reviewed on January 3, 2023, noted, Rats and mice are known to carry many
diseases. These diseases can spread to people directly, through handling of rodents; contact with rodent
feces (poop), urine, or saliva (such as through breathing in air or eating food that is contaminated with
rodent waste); or rodent bites. Rodents can also carry ticks, mites, or fleas that can act as vectors to spread
diseases between rodents and people. Many diseases do not cause any apparent illness in rodents, so you
cannot tell if a rodent is carrying a disease just by looking at it . Rodents, such as rats, mice . are known to
carry many diseases. Diseases can spread to people directly and indirectly from rodents .''
Rodents can transmit food pathogens, such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes.
These pathogens can make nursing home residents seriously ill or die from foodborne illness, as they are a
highly susceptible population.

they are going to fall on me. They are out anytime of the day. You have to open the doors to the soiled utility
room and the nourishment room really carefully because they run away from you and go into the holes in
the cabinets. I report it to the management all the time. I have told the pest control and he said he can't do
anything about it if the management will not pay to have the rats removed.
On 8/3/23 at 9:35 a.m., Registered Nurse (RN) Staff D, said, The rats and roaches are disgusting and
everywhere in the building. I have seen them in the resident rooms, in the utility rooms and nourishment
rooms. They run in the ceiling, you hear scratching, and you can hear them run around up there. If it fell on
me, I would be screaming. I know I have reported it to the management staff, but the rats are still here. It
doesn't matter what time of day, you will see them, but they are worse at night.
On 8/3/23 at 10:04 a.m., during a follow up tour of the kitchen, rodent feces were noted on the floor
beneath the canned goods cart and bread cart. The Director of Food and Nutrition Services, and Regional

The Senior Regional Director of Culinary Services verified the rodent feces throughout the kitchen storage
area floor and metal shelves used to store food. He verified the bread; packets of mayonnaise and other
food items were not stored in rodent proof containers. He stated there was no policy in place for additional
cleaning precautions once rodent feces have been visualized. He stated, We have been cleaning and
sanitizing being sure to change out the water, and rags to prevent cross-contamination. In regard to canned
goods, we are especially sure to sanitize the can where it will connect with the opener.
On 8/4/23 at 6:20 p.m., the technician from the contracted pest control company said rats were entering the
building through the air conditioning pipes. On July 25, 2023, he closed that hole. He said he usually gets
three rats every two days.
The facility continued foodservice operations despite rodent infestation in the kitchen area. The facility failed
to protect packaged foods, clean equipment and utensils and single-use items from being contaminated
with rodent excrement and failed to discart rodent contaminated foods.
On 8/4/23 at 2:00 p.m., the State Survey Agency mandated that the facility cease foodservice operations

Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop
corrective plans of action.
Based on record review, review of the facility's policies and procedures, and staff interviews, the facility
failed to show effective communication and coordination to develop and implement adequate corrective
actions related to pest control and rodent infestation to ensure a safe and sanitary environment free from
disease causing pests, which could lead to the spread of diseases from direct and indirect contact with
infected rodents.
On 12/19/22 the facility administration became aware of a rodent infestation.
On 7/31/23 through 8/3/23 multiple observations of rodent feces on the kitchen floor, and on the shelves of
the dry storage food area used to store ready to eat food. Observation of single service packets of
mayonnaise with visible rodent bite marks stored in a basket in the kitchen.
The facility's lack of an effective ongoing QAPI (Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement) process
to protect residents' health and safety created a likelihood of serious illness or death for the residents from
direct or indirect contact with infected rodents resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy starting
on 12/19/22.
On 8/4/23 at 7:27 p.m., the facility's Administrator was informed of the Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) and
provided the IJ Templates.
The Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing.

corporate employees noted, The best option to rid the facility of this rodent issue is a multistep process. The
process recommended was to seal up any holes, openings, entry points and areas where rodents access
into the building . The next step is a full trapping program for one month .
On 7/31/23 through 8/3/23 multiple observations were made of rodent feces on the floor and shelves used
to store food items in the kitchen, and live crawling bugs in residents' rooms, shower room, soiled and clean
utility rooms. Holes observed in walls and cabinets in the soiled utility room of the memory care units were
identified by staff as entry points for the rats. Ant-like insects were observed crawling on a resident's bed
and wound dressings.
On 7/31/23 through 8/3/23 multiple staff interviews conducted with direct care staff and dietary staff
revealed an ongoing concern with roaches and rat infestation in the facility, including the kitchen, dining
room and residents' rooms. Staff reported they communicated the ongoing rat sightings to the facility
administration without any sign of improvement.
On 8/3/23 at 12:00 p.m., the Regional Plant Operation Director verified he was aware of the sightings of
rats in the facility, including the kitchen. He said he has not had any meetings with the administrative staff
related to the rats in the facility.
He said as of this time no one from administration has asked him what interventions he had put into place
to address the staff seeing rats in the facility.
He said he conducted an informal meeting with the Housekeeping Director to remind her staff to ensure
they were not leaving food which the rats might be eating and remind them to do proper cleaning and
disinfection in general. It was an informal meeting; he doesn't have any documentation related to the
meeting.
He said he has not had time to trim the overhanging branches over the building as per the multiple
recommendations of the contracted pest control company on 3/24/23, 5/12/23, 6/2/23, 6/8/23, 6/15/23, and
6/29/23 to prevent ants and wildlife easier access to the building.
On 8/3/23 at 12:33 p.m., the Housekeeping Manager stated, There are pest issues at facility, they called the
pest guy weekly.
On 8/3/23 at 12:20 p.m., the technician from the pest control company reported in a telephone interview
two rodents were caught in the kitchen yesterday.
Review of the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) meetings from May 2023 through
June 2023 showed the QAPI committee met on 5/17/23 for QAPI plan updates, and 5/18/23.
The facility provided documentation of QAPI- PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) dated 5/15/23 (updated
6/7/23 and 6/28/23), an Action Plan/PIP dated 5/16/23 (updated 6/6/23, and 6/28/23) and a QAPI-PIP
Action Plan dated 6/27/23.
There was no documentation of discussion of evaluation of the effectiveness of the pest control program,
including eradication of rats. There was no discussion in the QAPI meetings about continued foodservice

On 8/4/2023 at 12:45 p.m., the Administrator verified the lack of documentation of evaluation of the actions
implemented to ensure the eradication of pests, including rats in the facility.
She said there was a noticed increase of rodent activities in 2022 and also a noticed need for new roof.
The Administrator provided a typewritten timeline, and root cause analysis documenting the steps taken to
address the rats and pests. The document read, Situation: Identified an ongoing concern related to pests.
Most observations include insects; however, there have been a number of observations of rodents and or
rodent droppings. Initially the facility experienced a level of pests (insects and rodents' activity) in 2022 that
was addressed and viewed as corrected. At the time, the determination was the need for external rodent
boxes. These were added and seemingly effective with low to no further rodent activity. It was recognized
that the facility had need for a new roof. There was a correlation to the need for the new roof, leaking, etc.
That this had an impact of pest concerns. Quotes were received late 2022, the new roof quote was selected
. roof company had to apply for permits on March 14, 2023, and the room company initiated replacement
on 3/27/23. The roof completion was on 5/12/23. Additional tree work was completed on 1/2/23, in
preparation for roof replacement.
The Administrator said, When I got here in May of 2023, there were no QAPI minutes before me. The
rodent issue was first addressed in QAPI on 7/31/2023.
She said there was no current PIP for the rodent issue.
She said, the Process for approving expenditures above $1500.00 was put in an email to the Corporate
Regional Director of Maintenance on 7/19/2023 for approval. On 7/19/2023, the contract was approved by
Corporate Director of Plant Operations for rodent/pest control.
The Administrator presented a timeline of actions implemented in a root cause analysis document which
listed additional services as follows:
5/12/23 added rodent station boxes.
5/15/23 no activity, prevention remedies.
5/18/23 insect treatments.
5/26/23 inspected for spiders, wasps, baited for roaches.
6/2/23 insect monitor set for flying bugs, of 11 rodent stations, one is missing, moderate rodent activity.
6/8/23 treated exterior prevention for pests, rebaited rodent stations.
6/15/23 a rat was caught last evening, treated all areas for pest and roach control.
6/22/23 pest prevention.
6/29/23 low rodent activity, 2 rodent boxes missing and will be replaced.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, review of the clinical record, review of facility policy and resident and staff interview, the facility
failed to establish and maintain an effective infection prevention and control program designed to provide a
safe and sanitary environment, and to help prevent the developement and transmission of zoonotic
(animals) and vector-borne (e.g., mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas) disease and infections by rodent infestation.
Residents Affected - Some
The facility failed to follow infection control practices and failed maintain urinary catheter drainage in a
sanitary manner for 2 (Resident #4 and Resident #5) of 2 residents reviewed for urinary catheters.
The facility failed to ensure staff followed infection prevention measures by failure to follow personal
protective equipment (PPE) guidelines for residents on transmission based precautions for COVID-19, and
failure to handle medications in a sanitary manner.
The facility became aware on 12/19/22 of a rodent infestation in the building.
On 7/31/23 through 8/3/23 multiple observations of rodent feces on the kitchen floor, and on the shelves of
the dry storage food area used to store ready to eat food. Observation of ready to use packets of
mayonnaise with visible rodent bite marks stored in a basket in the kitchen.
The failure of the facility to implement systems with effective actions to eradicate rodent infestations created
a serious threat to residents health and safety due to the spread of certain diseases from direct or indirect
contact with rodents and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) starting on 12/19/22.
On 8/4/23 at 7:28 p.m., the Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy and provided the IJ
templates.
The Immediate Jeopardy was ongoing.

Review of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention document titled, How to Control Wild
Rodent Infestations, last reviewed on January 3, 2023, noted, Rats and mice are known to carry many
diseases. These diseases can spread to people directly, through handling of rodents; contact with rodent
feces (poop), urine, or saliva (such as through breathing in air or eating food that is contaminated with
rodent waste); or rodent bites. Rodents can also carry ticks, mites, or fleas that can act as vectors to spread
diseases between rodents and people. Many diseases do not cause any apparent illness in rodents, so you
cannot tell if a rodent is carrying a disease just by looking at it . Rodents, such as rats, mice . are known to
carry many diseases. Diseases can spread to people directly and indirectly from rodents .

On 7/31/23 at 2:57 p.m., during a kitchen tour, a large wooden trigger snap rat trap was noted on the floor
located behind an open storage shelf unit.
Photographic evidence obtained.
Residents Affected - Some
On 8/2/23 4:45 p.m., The Senior Regional Director of Culinary Services stated he was told the rat trap in
the kitchen was placed there as a preventative measure because there had been rat sightings in the past.
On 8/3/23 at 9:25 a.m., Licensed practical Nurse (LPN) Staff I said the facility had roaches and rats. They
were out anytime of the day. They are in the soiled utility room and the nourishment rooms. She reports it all
the time to management.
On 8/3/23 at 9:35 a.m., Registered Nurse (RN) Staff D said the rats and roaches were everywhere in the
building, the residents' rooms, the utility rooms, and nourishment rooms. She has reported it to the
management staff, but the rats are still here. She sees them any time of the day, but they are worse at
night.
On 8/3/23 at 9:45 a.m., Resident #89 reported he saw a rodent in his room approximately three weeks ago,
and Maintenance filled the hole in the bathroom.
On 8/3/23 at 12:05 p.m., the Regional Plant Operation Director said about two weeks ago staff informed
him they saw a rat in Resident #89's bathroom. He observed a hole in the wall, which he plugged at that
time.
There was no documentation that the resident's room was disinfected after the sighting of the rat.
On 8/3/23 at 10:04 a.m., rodent feces were noted on the floor beneath the canned goods cart and bread
cart, in the kitchen dry storage area. The Regional Hospitality Director and the Director of Food and
Nutrition services verified the observation of rodent feces. They said they had swept the floor the day
before.
The Director of Food and Nutrition Services said a mouse ran over her foot the week before in her office
located within the kitchen. She said the rodents chewed the tartar sauce packets. She cleaned the packets
and wiped off the area with bleach.
On 8/3/23 at 12:05 p.m., the Regional Plant Operation Director said two weeks ago a kitchen staff told him
they saw a rat in the kitchen. He said he conducted an informal meeting with the Housekeeping Director to
remind her staff to ensure they were not leaving food which the rats might be eating and remind them to do
proper cleaning and disinfection in general. It was an informal meeting; he doesn't have any documentation
related to the meeting.
On 8/3/23 at 12:00 p.m., the Infection Preventionist said she was extremely surprised and had never heard
of rats in the facility. She said, I don't know anything about it. I certainly have never seen any; this is the first
I'm hearing about it. After reviewing the content of the reports of the contracted pest control company with
the Infection Preventionist, and the observation of rodent feces on the floor of the kitchen storage area, she
said, I knew there were rats in the kitchen about six

months ago when the former Administration was here, but I was told it was taken care of.
Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or
safety
On 8/4/23 at 11:55 a.m., in a telephone interview the Medical Director said the facility notified him on 8/3/23
of the rats in the kitchen and other areas. He said as long as the residents look and don't touch the rats,
they are ok. He said there was no air spread of infection from the rats, It is not like years ago with the
plague, that is not going to happen. The food is fine, as long as the rodent droppings don't go into the food.
He said he had a meeting with the facility's team the day before and there were no rat droppings on the
food, and the kitchen was cleaned the day before. When interviewed about rat droppings on food packaging
the Medical Director said that was fine as long as the rodent droppings don't go into the food. He said again
he met with the facility team yesterday and there were no rat droppings on the food. The plan is for the staff
to write in the pest control book if they see any pests and the pest control will come. The physician said
there was no chance the residents would get any infection as long as they did not touch the rats. The
Medical Director said, I was told there were no rodent droppings anywhere in the kitchen.
Residents Affected - Some
On 8/4/23 at 3:27 p.m., the Infection Preventionist said she spoke with the Medical Director today about the
rat infestation. She said the Medical Director told her, There is nothing I need to do infection control wise for
the rats. She repeated, He said it really wasn't necessary for me to do anything.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation to clean up rodent urine and droppings
(last reviewed January 3, 2023) noted,
Step 1: Put on rubber or plastic gloves.
Step 2: Spray urine and droppings with bleach solution or an EPA-registered disinfectant until very wet. Let
it soak for 5 minutes or according to instructions on the disinfectant label.
Step 3: Use paper towels to wipe up the urine or droppings and cleaning product.
Step 4: Throw the paper towels in a covered garbage can that is regularly emptied.
Step 5: Mop or sponge the area with a disinfectant.
o Clean all hard surfaces including floors, countertops, cabinets, and drawers.
o Follow instructions below to clean and disinfect other types of surfaces.
Step 6: Wash gloved hands with soap and water or a disinfectant before removing gloves.
Step 7: Wash hands with soap and warm water after removing gloves or use a waterless alcohol-based
hand rub when soap is not available, and hands are not visibly soiled.
The facility continued foodservice operations despite rodent infestation in the kitchen area. The facility failed
to protect packaged foods, clean equipment and utensils and single service and single-use items from
being contaminated with rodent excrement and failed to discard rodent contaminated foods.
On 8/3/23 at 11:50 a.m., multiple ant-like crawling insects were observed crawling on Resident #2's

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure adequate pest control
measures to eradicate an ongoing rodent infestation.
On 12/19/22 the facility became aware of rodent infestation in the building, including the kitchen. The facility
failed to consistently implement the recommendations from the contracted pest control company to trim
back over hanging trees next to the building to prevent wildlife from getting easier access to the building.
The facility failed to identify and repair all rodent entry points.
The failure to implement adequate measures to eradicate and contain a rodent infestation created a serious
threat to residents health and safety due to the spread of certain diseases from direct or indirect contact
with rodents and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) starting on 12/19/22.
On 8/4/23 at 7:28 p.m., the Administrator was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy and provided the IJ

Level of Harm - Immediate
jeopardy to resident health or

Residents Affected - Some
An effective pest control program is defined as measures to eradicate and contain common household
pests, (bed buds, lice, roaches, ants, mosquitos, flies, mice, and rats).
The facility will maintain a report system of issues that may arise in between scheduled visits with outside
pest services and treat as indicated.
Review of the pest control logbook located at the front of the facility noted on 12/13/22, 2/16/23, 2/20/23,
3/18/23, 3/25/23, 4/6/23, 4/22/23, 4/25/23, the dietary staff documented sightings of rats in the kitchen
and/or the North Dining Room.
The North Unit Pest sighting logbook noted on 7/11/23 a rat was observed in room [ROOM NUMBER], and
on 7/24/23 two rats in the soiled utility room.
The pest control company reports showed on 3/24/23, 5/12/23, 6/2/23, 6/8/23, 6/15/23, 6/29/23 the
company recommended trimming back over hanging trees next to the building to prevent ants and wildlife
from getting easier access to the building.
On 8/3/23 at 3:01 p.m., observation of the outside of the building revealed multiple overhanging branches
over building that needs to be trimmed back for preventing ants and wildlife easier access to building as per
the multiple recommendations of the contracted pest control company.
Photographic evidence obtained.
Pest control records from 12/19/2022 through 7/28/23 noted multiple incidents of rodent sightings on the
Memory Care Unit, the kitchen, and South Nursing Unit. Rodent stations, live traps and glue sticks have
been placed in the kitchen and throughout the building. Roaches and ants were also identified throughout
the building.
The contracted Pest Control inspection report dated 7/28/23 noted, Checked all 3 logbooks and scanned
them. Signed off on rodent issues after checking on them. Baited nurse main cart with roach gel for roach
sightings. Lots more rodent activity this month.
Review of an email from the contracted pest control company dated April 19, 2023 to the Facility Plant
operations and a facility corporate employee noted the pest control company representative stated he
visited the facility today and saw several openings, activity and conditions leading to the rodent activity. The
representative informed (name) the best option to rid the facility of this rodent issue is a multistep process.
The process recommended was to seal up any holes, openings, entry points and areas where rodents
access into the building . The next step is a full trapping program for one month . Lastly, I have included
extra rodent bait stations around the facility for more control and better monitoring. My recommendation is
to start this exclusion right after the roofers have completed their service. This program I am sure will take
an entire day.
On 8/3/23 at 12:05 p.m., the Regional Plant Operation Director said he has been employed with the
company since September 2022, and has been the acting Maintenance Director at the facility since the
beginning of July 2023.
He said he became aware of possible rat problem after they started to replace the facility roof in February
2023. The roof repair was completed several months later, sometimes in June 2023.

some recommendations about what they can do about stopping the rats from entering the facility.
He said the pest control company told him the rats could not be fully removed from the facility until the new
roof was completed and all entry points were sealed.
The Regional Plant Operation Director said he got over a hundred rodent entry points sealed sometimes in
June 2023, and the pest control company signed an eradication agreement to remove all the rats in the
facility on 7/20/23.

and rats, but I'm more afraid of the rats. You hear them running across the ceiling. I'm so scared they are
going to fall on me. They are out anytime of the day. You have to open the doors to the soiled utility room
and the nourishment room really carefully because they run away from you and go into the holes in the
cabinets. I report it to the management all the time. I have told the pest control and he said he can't do
anything about it if the management will not pay to have the rats removed.
On 8/3/23 at 9:25 a.m., observation of the South Unit soiled utility room with LPN Staff I revealed a hole in
the baseboard of the wall, with a missing tile.

everywhere in the building. I have seen them in the resident rooms, in the utility rooms and nourishment
