Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observations, record reviews, and interviews, the facility failed to implement an effective pest control
program related to live pests found in two rooms (210 and 350) located in two halls (200 and 300) out of 4
halls observed.Findings included: An observation of room [ROOM NUMBER] on 10/21/2025 at 9:40 A.M.
revealed several roaches on the wall behind Bed 2's nightstand and under and around the floor of Bed 3's
armoire/closet. An observation of the outside of the maintenance area on 10/21/2025 at 11:20 A.M.
revealed a resident nightstand. The Housekeeping Supervisor (HS) was spraying the nightstand with a red
can of ant and roach pesticide. The nightstand had three drawers that were partially pulled out and each
drawer contained personal resident items. A record review of the pest sighting logbooks on each nursing
station revealed an entry dated 10/20/2025 and read, 200 Nurse Cart Roach. The entry was made by the
Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). A record review of the exterminators invoice dated 10/10/2025 read,
No activity was reported today. I need to note that out pest sighting logbooks are not being utilized by the
nurses. None of the stations reported any activity for this week's treatment. Please ask the nurses to use
the logbook correctly to help record and monitor pest activity. An interview was conducted on 10/21/2025 at
9:34 A.M. with Staff A, Housekeeping. Staff A said she always saw roaches in room [ROOM NUMBER].
She said the roaches are behind bed 2's nightstand and the roaches are under bed 3's armoire/closet. Staff
A said the exterminators spray the room and outside the room, but they always come back. She said she
thinks the roaches are living inside the wall. Staff A said she tells the maintenance department. She said
she doesn't write anything in the pest sighting logbooks. An interview was conducted on 10/21/2025 at 9:46
A.M with the resident in room [ROOM NUMBER]. There were several flies in the room and a food tray
sitting on the resident's bed. The resident (#2) said once the facility started construction he saw several
roaches in his room and hallways. The resident said he asked for maintenance to come and no one from
maintenance or housekeeping had come to the room to see the pests. The resident said he had talked to
the staff about the pests, but the staff always say they were working on it. An interview was conducted on
10/21/2025 at 10:50 A.M. with Staff E, Van Driver/Maintenance assistant. Staff E said she helps with
maintenance often. Staff E said the pest control company comes to the facility twice per month. Staff E said
if the staff see pests inside, she will spray them with the red can of ant and roach pesticide. Staff E said
when pests are seen in the facility, staff should be writing the sighting in the pest sighting logbooks at each
nursing station. An interview was conducted on 10/21/2025 at 11:21 A.M with the Housekeeping Supervisor
(HS). The HS said he had pulled the nightstand out of room [ROOM NUMBER]-2 and sprayed it with the
red can of ant and roach pesticide. The HS said he would put it back in room [ROOM NUMBER]-2 later in
the day. An interview was conducted on 10/21/2025 at 11:35 A.M. with the Director of Maintenance (DOM).
The DOM said the staff do not spray for pests; the facility uses a pest control company. The DOM said if
there are pests inside the furniture, that furniture should be pulled out of the

resident's room. The DOM said staff are not supposed to use the red can of roach and ant pesticide. The
DOM said he was trying to correct some of the old maintenance habits. The DOM said staff are supposed
to document any pests sightings in the pest sighting logbooks at each nursing station. The DOM said the
exterminators come and spray the facility every two weeks and they review the pest sighting logbooks at
that time. The DOM said the exterminators spray the areas indicted in the pest sighting logbooks. The DOM
said pesticides are not sprayed inside the building. He stated he uses wasp spray outside the building. An
interview was conducted on 10/21/2025 at 1:03 P.M. with the NHA. The NHA said the facility uses a pest
control company and they come once per month to spray. The NHA said if the staff see pests, they are
supposed to put the sighting in the pest sighting logbooks. The NHA said there was a grievance filed a few
days ago regarding flies. The NHA said the grievance had not been resolved. The NHA said the staff are
not supposed to spray pesticides in the facility. The NHA said she saw a roach in her office yesterday and
noted that in the pest sighting logbook. The NHA said staff should be removing food trays from the rooms
as soon as the residents are finished eating. The NHA said it is not appropriate to have roaches in the
residents rooms. A review of an undated facility's policy titled, Environmental Services - Pest (Insect)
Control showed: The facility will maintain an ongoing pest control program. Pest control services are
provided by a licensed pest exterminator on no less than a monthly basis and as needed. The contracted
Post Control Services will include both interior and exterior pest control. 1: Food items in resident rooms
should be kept in air-tight containers. 3: Staff will report any evidence of insects in resident's rooms or
common areas to the maintenance/housekeeping staff. During regular business hours, the report can be
logged into the maintenance request log and/or the log provided by the pest control company, if applicable.
4: Live insects in resident rooms or care areas should be reported as soon as possible to the Maintenance
or Housekeeping Supervisor and the Administrator. 6: Residents will be removed from the area where live
insects are noted until control measures are provided. Only pest control measures that are approved by the
licensed pest exterminator will be used.
