4784 HERITAGE CENTER 515060 101-13TH STREET HUNTINGTON WV 25701 2016-01-14 469 E 0 1 D0ID11 Based on observations, review of pest control invoices, resident interview, and staff interview, it was determined the facility had a gnat problem on two (2) of the four (4) units of the facility. Gnats were observed on the second and third floors of the facility throughout the survey. Resident #68 voiced that the gnats were bothersome. This had the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents. Resident identifier: #68. Facility census: 159 Findings include: a) During an interview, with Resident #68 at 10:30 a.m. on 01/11/16, she stated she did not find the facility to be clean and comfortable because there were so many gnats flying around. She stated that, in fact, there were so many gnats in the television room across the hall from her room, that when she tried to eat her evening meal there on 01/10/16, she had to leave the room and her meal behind because the gnats were so bothersome. During the interview there were gnats observed flying around in room #206, where the interview was conducted. Gnats were observed on 01/11/16 in room 202 at 3:45 p.m. and in room 210 at 4:00 p.m. An occasional gnat was observed around the second floor unit throughout the days on 01/11/16, 01/12/16, and 01/13/16. On 01/12/16 gnats were observed in both the second and third floor shower rooms between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. during a look at the shower rooms with Maintenance Director #16. There was a strip of fly paper hanging from the ceiling over the toilet in the second floor shower room. There were numerous gnats stuck to the fly paper. He stated he had not hung the fly strip and did not know where it had come from. Evidence/documentation of the facility's pest control program was requested and provided on 01/13/16 at 3:00 p.m. Three (3) invoices from (Name) Pest Control were provided. They were dated 10/28/15, 11/25/15, and 12/23/15. During each visit, the gnat problem was addressed, as well as other concerns. During a follow-up interview with the Maintenance Director on 01/14/16, he stated he did not believe that the gnats would ever go away completely in a building this size, but believed they had control of the gnats currently - despite the sightings of an occasional gnat. There were no plans for future visits by the pest control company; rather, the Maintenance Director planned to put a product down the drains to stay on top of the situation. While interventions had been attempted to rid the facility of the gnat problem, there continued to be a problem. 2019-07-01
