F 0584 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Some substance was observed on the wall below the TV and behind a dresser. The wall had holes and torn paint in multiple areas. Also observed live roaches as well as dead roaches in this resident's room. Several speckles, dark brown and black in color were observed on several areas of the walls and the resident's equipment. During an interview with Resident #10 she stated there was heavy pest (roaches) activity in her room. She stated the facility was aware of it and there was someone who came to spray. She stated the treatment was not effective and she employed her own methods (isopropyl alcohol) to keep the roaches off of her. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) A tour of the facility was conducted with the facility's Housekeeping Supervisor and the Maintenance Director on 1/15/2025 at 12:33 p.m. The Maintenance Director stated he was responsible for pest control-related issues. He stated recently the Housekeeping Department had gotten involved. Staff should be reporting pest sightings in TELS, an electronic maintenance reporting system used by the facility. Once a report was submitted via this system, it sent an alert to his phone. He then contacted the pest control company to come out to treat the area. Both he and the Housekeeping Supervisor stated there was a breakdown in the reporting due to staff inconsistency. The Housekeeping Supervisor stated he had received verbal reports of pest activity from staff. He documented it so that it could be reported to the Maintenance Director; however, there were times when this had not been done. The Housekeeping Supervisor stated additional staff training was needed in this area. He stated they worked to keep things clean as best as they could. Further tour of the facility, the areas of concern previously observed by the survey team (detached base boards, floor stains, curtain stains, pest activity, etc.) were brought to the attention of the Housekeeping Supervisor and the Maintenance Director. The Housekeeping Supervisor confirmed that the issues were present. He stated he had been working with his staff to improve their cleaning methods. He stated each room was cleaned every day and there were random rooms scheduled daily for deep cleaning. He was shown the areas in the halls where the floors were stained. He stated he was responsible for cleaning the floors in the main areas. He stated he was behind and working to get all of the floors cleaned. The Maintenance Director was shown the walls in need of repair and the detached based boards. He acknowledged there were maintenance issues. He stated he was aware of many of the concerns; however, some of them had not been reported to him by other staff members. He did not provide an estimated time or plan to have these areas resolved. During the tour of the Palms Unit, the Housekeeping Supervisor was shown the areas of concern in Resident #10's room. He stated the trail of thick black fuzzy substance on the wall below the TV was mold. He stated it needed to be treated. He also stated that the wall needed to be repaired. While observing the wall in this resident's room, the surveyor and both facility staff members observed live roaches crawling on the resident's floor and wall. The Housekeeping Supervisor attempted to kill one of the roaches, but it crawled out of sight/reach. He stated the housekeepers should be pulling out the dressers and cleaning behind them in the residents' rooms. While touring Resident #75's room, the Housekeeping Supervisor was directed toward the soiled curtain. He stated his staff should have identified and pulled this curtain down to be cleaned. He stated the certified nursing assistants (CNAs) or housekeeping staff should be checking and reporting this so the curtains could be changed. He was also shown the random debris and dead roaches behind the resident's bed and in between and behind the dressers in the room. At the time of the observation, there was an additional observation of live roaches in Resident #75's room. He again stated his staff wasn't performing as they should and that he would address this. (Photographic Evidence Obtained) The Maintenance Director was asked about the repairs again. He stated if staff did not report the issues, they had no way of knowing. He again acknowledged that repairs were needed. He was asked about recommendations from pest control and whose responsibility it 105707 Page 2 of 12 105707 01/16/2025 Fouraker Hills Rehab and Nursing Center 1650 Fouraker Rd Jacksonville, FL 32221

The Housekeeping Supervisor stated he planned to re-implement a system to follow-up with the housekeepers to ensure that they were performing their duties as they should. He did not provide a plan or timeframe for this. Residents Affected - Some A review of the facility's 5-Step Daily Room Cleaning policy and procedure (revised 10/25/2016), revealed: Purpose: To teach Environmental Services employees the proper cleaning method to sanitize a patient room or any area in a healthcare facility. 2. Horizontal Surfaces-disinfected Using a solution of properly diluted germicide, sanitize all horizontal surfaces (allowing for appropriate solution dwell time. 3. Spot Clean Walls Vertical surfaces are not completely wiped down daily-but must be spot cleaned daily. Walls-especially by trash cans, light switches and door handles-will need special attention. 4. Dust Mop The entire floor must be dust mopped-especially behind dressers and beds. Move all furniture to dust mop. All corners and along baseboards must be dust mopped to prevent buildup. 5. Damp Mop The most important area of patient's room to disinfect is the floor. The Housekeeping Supervisor provided a copy of the in-services he conducted with his staff during 11/2024, 12/2024, and 1/2025. The documentation was reviewed. The facility's 5-Step Daily Room Cleaning was not reviewed in any of the in-services. Neither was pest control reporting. . 105707 Page 3 of 12 105707 01/16/2025 Fouraker Hills Rehab and Nursing Center 1650 Fouraker Rd Jacksonville, FL 32221
