Dispose of garbage and refuse properly.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on interview and observations the facility failed to ensure that the dumpster lids were properly closed
on two dumpsters, resulting in garbage hanging out of dumpster this failure has the potential to affect all
185 residents in the facility .Findings include:On 11/18/25 at 10:45 am, V12 (Housekeeper) stated that she
is responsible to clean the 2nd floor and has not observed any rodents on the unit and or in the room on
R5. V12 stated if she observed a rodent or dropping from a rodent, she would immediately report that
concern to her supervisor, but she thinks pest control comes out to the building weekly and she keeps the
area clean.On 11/18/25 at 10:59 am, V30 (Housekeeping Director) stated housekeeping is responsible for
managing the dumpsters, and dumpsters should always be free from trash hanging out of it. There are two
large trash dumpsters, two small trash dumpsters and three recycle dumpsters that are all in same area
behind the facility located in the parking lot. The lid of the dumpsters should be always closed to prevent
trash from blowing, rodents and animals from getting into the trash and so the facility is not feeding the
rodents. If trash is hanging out of the dumpsters this is not sanitary, and the facility does not want to breed
rodents and cause them to migrate into the building. All garbage should be inside of dumpster for sanitary
reasons, but that trash came from the kitchen and the bag is hanging outside of the dumpster, there is trash
all over the ground near dumpsters and it should not be like this. Recycle dumpsters has trash hanging out
of it. Pest control company comes to the facility weekly for preventative insect care to assess cracks and
crevices. V30 reports that dumpsters are emptied daily by the vendor company, and he is not sure why the
dumpsters were open with trash hanging out of them.On 11/18/25 at 3:29 pm, two dumpsters on the back
of facility were observed open with one dumpster with no lid covering at all displaying garbage that was
hanging out of dumpster can and second recycle dumpster with blue lid filled and partially closed with
brown boxes hanging out of top of dumpster with clear plastic bags hanging of top of dumpster.On 11/19/25
at 1:11 pm, V1 (Administrator) stated staff or residents have never informed her there were any roaches,
rats or rodents in rooms or facility that they saw. If this was reported to me, I would have called our facility's
pest control vendor and had someone come out to inspect and correct any concerns that would have been
detected. Housekeeping supervisor is responsible to ensure that dumpsters are closed and the area
around the dumpsters remain clean and without debris to avoid rodents.On 11/19/25 at 3:10 pm, large
trash dumpster observed open with trash filled to top of dumpster, clear bags were hanging out of the top of
the dumpster, and papers was on the floor next to dumpster.Facility's Policy Pest control program dated
