Findings include: Observation of the shared room for Resident's 3 and 6 on August 8, 2024, at 11:00 AM revealed the flooring appeared dull and dirty. Dried food and debris were observed under Resident 6's recliner and under the head of bed against the wall. Resident 6 indicated housekeeping does sweep and mop the room. Pieces of cereal and dried food and debris were observed inside the heating/air conditioner through the top vent located beside Resident 6's recliner. An observation of Unit 1 and Unit 2 nursing units on August 8, 2024, at 11:11 AM revealed tile flooring of the hallways outside resident rooms and nursing stations appeared dirty, significantly blackened with black spots and streaks throughout the flooring.

Observation of Resident 1 and 2's shared room on August 8, 2024, at 11:31 AM revealed the tile flooring appeared dull and dirty. Resident 1 indicated housekeeping is just rushed when they clean, and Resident 2 stated housekeeping stinks, and she had to make an appointment for someone to come and move the bin and trash can under the sink so the area on the floor could be cleaned better, that it was a mess under there. Residents 1 and 2 were observed to have many personal items in the room including stacks of plastic totes, and additional furniture. Residents 1 and 2 could not recall the last time everything was moved in the room for a thorough cleaning. An observation of Resident 5's room on August 8, 2024, at 12:09 PM revealed the flooring of the resident's room had a dirty, dull appearance with black streaks throughout the flooring. Resident 5 indicated housekeeping staff come and sweep and mop her room daily. Dried food and debris were observed inside the heating/air conditioner unit visible through the top vent of the unit. In an interview with the Nursing Home administrator on August 8, 2024, at 1:26 PM the administrator indicated housekeeping has been able to strip and wax the flooring in some areas of the facility, but has been without a designated floor guy, who did the stripping and waxing of the tile flooring, since he retired a few months ago. The administrator indicated housekeeping has been doing deep cleans of resident rooms, just not getting them all stripped and waxed.

F 0925 Resident's 1, 2, and 5 reside on Unit 3 of the facility. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm A review of a pest tracking log dated May 20 - August 8, 2024, revealed 8 mouse sightings in May 2024, in various resident rooms on Units 3, and 4 of the facility, which included Resident 1 and 2's room, as well as the mail room and basement breakroom of the facility. Ten mouse sightings were reported in June 2024, to include various rooms on Units 2 and 3 of the facility including Resident 5's room as well as the kitchen area and gift shop. Thirteen reports of mice were documented in July 2024, in various resident rooms on Units 2, and 3 including Residents 3, and 6's room. To date in August 2024, five reports of mouse sighting were reported in a resident room on Unit 2, Unit 3, and the physical therapy area. Each entry in the log noted a trap was placed and a total of five mice were documented as caught. Residents Affected - Some A review of facility pest control company visits since May 2024, revealed the pest control company made visits to the facility on May 20, June 13, 17, 26, July 3, and 22, 2024. The May 20, 2024, report noted exterior bait stations were refilled and interior maintenance areas were sprayed including the kitchen. June 13, 2024, visit noted bait stations on the third floor were refilled and additional stations were added to the kitchen and that 72 glue boards were left for use by maintenance staff. June 17, 26, and July 3, again noted the refilling of bait stations. The last visit on July 22, 2024, noted spraying of the baseboards in the kitchen and some rooms in the basement and filling of the exterior bait stations. In the same noted interviews above for Resident's 1, 2, 5 and 6, the residents did not recall any additional measures to control mice in the facility other than staff placing traps. In an interview with the Nursing Home Administrator on August 8, 2024, at 1:26 PM the administrator denied any additional measures to help remedy the rodent problem in the facility that had existed in the facility for several months without improvement. The administrator indicated that there was possibly more mouse sightings due to the use of the bait stations. There was no evidence the resident rooms were deep cleaned (removal or relocation of large pieces of furniture and swept and mopped) to limit dried food or debris in the rooms, or the heating/air conditioner units were cleaned of any dried food/debris due to the potential to act as an attractant to pests. In an interview with Employee 1, director of environmental services, on August 8, 2024, at 3:05 PM, Employee 1 indicated housekeeping staff complete basic cleaning of resident rooms daily to include sweeping, mopping, emptying the trash, and restocking supplies, and deep clean (pull out and clean under and behind furniture) once a month. Review of a deep room cleaning schedule Employee 1 stated was recently started indicated only 10 rooms had received a deep clean since June 28, 2024, and only six resident rooms had been stripped and waxed (complete removal of all items in the room) since February 2024, none of which belonged to the resident's noted above. Employee 1 was not able to provide any additional evidence all resident rooms were deep cleaned monthly. The facility census was 136 on August 8, 2024.
