Based on observations, medical record review, resident interview, staff interview, and facility
policy/procedure review, the facility failed to maintain a sanitary living environment. This affected one
resident (#68) of three residents reviewed for a sanitary living environment. The facility census was 75.
Findings include:
Observations on 05/29/24 at 10:30 A.M. and 10:45 A.M. revealed mouse droppings in a basket in Resident
#68's bedroom. The basket had personal items in it, as well as a box of snack cakes (each individual cake
was sealed).
Resident #68 was admitted to the facility 11/24/22 with diagnoses including type II diabetes, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, vascular dementia, need for assistance with personal care, difficulty
walking, dysphagia, cerebral aneurysm, autonomic neuropathy, insomnia, ventral hernia, hyperlipidemia,
depression, obesity, atrial fibrillation, hypothyroidism, and hypertension.
Review of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 03/01/24, revealed Resident #68 was
cognitively intact.
Interview with Resident #68 on 05/29/24 at 10:35 A.M. confirmed she had seen mice in her room, but it had
been a couple weeks since this has occurred. She confirmed there were mice droppings in her basket,
which was located on top of her mini fridge. She keeps snacks and other personal items in that basket,
which she can reach and get things out of it when she wants.
Interview with State Tested Nursing Aide (STNA) #101 on 05/29/24 at 10:45 A.M. confirmed the mice
droppings in Resident #68's basket in her room. She confirmed that should be cleaned and personal items
should not have mice droppings in them.
Interview with the Administrator on 05/29/24 at 11:16 A.M. confirmed he was told about the mice droppings
found in Resident #68's room. He confirmed there was documentation that Resident #68 room was deep
cleaned on 05/15/24, so he was not sure if the mice droppings were missed at that time, or if it occurred
after the deep cleaning.
Review of the facility Room Cleaning Checklist revealed each day, the following items will be cleaned by the
housekeeping staff: within resident rooms, furniture, blinds, windows/sills, mattress, doors/knobs, privacy
curtains, empty trash, floors, make bed, ensure supplies in bathroom are refilled, toilet, mirrors, sinks, and
any handrails.
