Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to maintain an effective pest control
program to keep pests out of the facility. This deficient practice has the potential to affect all 138 residents
residing at the facility.
Residents Affected - Many
Findings include:
On 08/04/24 at 9:43 AM, R9 was sitting on the bed in R9's room. R9's room appeared clean. No garbage or
debris was on the floor. R9 stated R9 has been at the facility for a couple of weeks and said, I've seen mice
in my room since I've been here. I see them at night and during the day. R9 stated sometimes when R9 is
taking a shower, R9 sees mice in the shower room, and R9 has also seen mice in the unit day room. R9
stated, No one has asked me if I've seen mice in my room, and other residents have also seen the same
mice I have in the shower and in the day room, so I thought it's part of the norm here. I didn't think to tell
anyone. I assumed they already knew it was a problem. R9 stated seeing the mice make him squeamish
and said, I don't want mice in the same space that I'm living in. R9 stated he's never seen any staff from a
pest control company in R9's room.
On 08/04/24 at 9:45 AM, R9 a large gray plastic container on the floor of R9's room was moved away from
the wall. Dark brown/black small rice shaped pellets were along floor near the baseboards.
On 08/04/24 at 9:58 AM, V5 (Housekeeper) observed the pellets on the floor in R9's room along the
baseboards and stated, Those are mouse droppings.
On 08/04/24 at 9:59 AM, V5 stated there is a sticky mouse trap on the other side of R9's room by the sink
next to R10's bed. V5 pointed to the white sticky pad (glue board) in the corner under the sink in R9 and
R10's room. The white glue board was covered in light brown elongated, oval shaped bodied insects. Some
of the insects were alive because their antennas were moving, some of the insects appeared dead. V5
viewed the insects and stated, Those are roaches. There are 11 of them on the sticky mouse trap.
On 08/04/24 at 10:38 AM, V7 (Licensed Practical Nurse) stated V7 usually works the 11-7 shift and has
seen mice in the facility. V7 stated V7 saw one or two mice two weeks ago, and informed V12 (Maintenance
Director) and pest control was called. V7 stated V7 sees the pest control company inspecting the hallways
and unit dining room. V7 stated V7 does not see them going into resident rooms.
On 08/04/24 at 10:28 AM, R5 stated, I have mice in my room. I see and hear them. R5 stated the
Housekeeping staff came to clean R5's room one to two weeks ago and they found a lot of mouse
droppings behind R5's bed and refrigerator. R5 stated Housekeeping has cleaned up the mouse droppings
already. R5 stated R5 is not sure if the mice are still coming into R5's room, but R5 thinks they might

still be around. R5 stated R5 has never seen anyone from the pest control company in R5's room.
Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
On 08/04/24 at 10:30 AM, there were a lot of R5's personal items on the floor of R5's room such as clothing
and shoes, and the drawers in R5's nightstand table were open and full of clothing and other personal
items.
Residents Affected - Many
On 08/04/24 at 10:31 AM, small black rice shaped pellets were all along the baseboard in R5's room
underneath the window. Many small black rice shaped pellets were seen in R5's bottom drawer of R5's
nightstand table with a very small amount of urine in the same area.
On 08/04/24 at 10:32 AM, V5 (Housekeeper) observed the small black rice shaped pellets in R5's
nightstand draw and on floor along baseboards and said, Those are mouse droppings.
On 08/04/24 at 11:00 AM, V14 (Housekeeper) stated last week V14 saw a mouse in R8's room, and V14
put down a sticky mouse trap (glue board) in R8's room to try to catch the mouse. V14 pointed to a glue
board on the floor of R8's room near the baseboards to the side of R8's nightstand. Two light brown
elongated, oval shaped bodied insects with antennas and small black rice shaped pellets were stuck to the
glue board. V14 stated, Those are roaches and that looks like mouse droppings.
On 08/04/24 at 11:05 AM, R8 stated R8 has been living in the facility for about 6 months and Housekeeping
has caught at least five mice in R8's room. R8 said, I've seen more than 5 mice, but 5 is the only ones
they've caught so far. I don't know where the mice are coming from. I don't store any food in my room and
keep it clean, but they are still around. I've never seen anyone from a pest control company in my room. The
only thing the facility does is set up those sticky traps. At one point I had three sticky traps set up in my
room, with two live mice caught in the sticky traps at the same time. It's gross. I shouldn't have to live like
this. There is no game plan to tackle the problem here. They just keep doing the same thing, putting down
the sticky traps. It's not working.
On 08/04/24 at 11:27 AM, V12 (Maintenance Director) stated it is important for the facility to provide a
clean, rodent free environment for the residents because rodents can carry diseases and cause cross
contamination of disease. V12 stated this is where the residents live and no one wants to live in a place full
of rodents. V12 stated the facility has a pest control company that comes once a week for maintenance and
monitoring of rodents/insects/pests. V12 stated the pest control company monitors and treats the common
areas such as lobby, kitchen, laundry, boiler rooms and unit hallways, unit day room and the communal
bathrooms/showers. V12 stated the pest control company does not go into a specific resident's room unless
V12 tells them that a specific room has seen rodent or pest activity. V12 stated finding mouse droppings or
holes around the room or debris in a pile indicate mouse activity and that likely places to see rodent
droppings are near the radiators, or along the baseboards, and/or behind furniture. If the housekeeping
staff sees any evidence of rodent activity they put down glue boards in that resident's room right away and
notify the Pest Control Company who comes in right away even if they had already been to the facility that
week. V12 stated the purpose of the glue boards is to catch the mice by causing them to stick to the board.
V12 stated roaches also sometimes get stuck to them as well. V12 said, If you are seeing rodent droppings
that means, there is rodent activity in that area. V12 stated V12 was notified 1-2 weeks ago that the
Housekeeper found mouse droppings in R5's room. V12 stated the Housekeeper did a deep clean of R5's
room and put down glue boards. V12 stated V12 did notify the Pest Control Company about increase in
mice activity on 07/25/24, but did not tell them the specific room the mouse droppings were found or ask
them to go into the room to set up mouse traps. V12 stated, Maybe I should have in hindsight.

On 08/04/24 at 3:22 PM, V1 (Administrator) stated the facility contracts with a pest control program who
comes to the facility weekly and more often as needed. Whenever there are any concerns about pest,
rodents, roaches or insects they are contacted and asked to treat the specific area including resident rooms
with increased activity. The pest control company can put down other kind of traps other than the glue
boards. V1 stated when pest control documents on their service reports which specific rooms they go in to
treat. V1 stated if it is not documented on the form, then it was not done. V1 stated on 07/25/24, the pest
control company did not go into any resident rooms. V1 said, If you are seeing mouse droppings and
roaches then that means our current treatment plan is not working.
On 08/05/24 at 10:45 AM, via phone interview V18 (General Manager of pest control company) stated,
When the pest control technician is on site, they touch base with the Maintenance Director or Administrator
to find out if there have been any rodent or insect sightings. Unless the technician is told about a specific
area, they would do the regular service check, which includes the common areas, not individual rooms. The
pest control technicians would only go into a resident's room upon request. We are dependent on the
facility to tell us that information. Finding mouse droppings is a sign that mice are present and roach activity
is based on if live roaches are found. Glue boards are used to catch mice and sometimes that is effective in
catching a mouse, but there are also additional things the pest control technician can do, such as using
units containing poison and a mouse snap trap. If we were called into a room because there was mouse
activity and we saw that the glue board was already down, then we would put into place the other two
interventions. We would try a new intervention rather than just continuing with the glue boards. If the pest
control technician went into a room to treat for rodent/insects they would indicate that on the service report,
so if there is no room listed on the service report, then that means we did not go into that room because the
facility did not ask us to or alert us that there was a problem in that area.
