10595 CORDELE HEALTH AND REHABILITATION 115429 1106 NORTH 4TH STREET CORDELE GA 31015 2010-09-01 469 F     W2R511 Based on observations and interviews with residents and staff, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program so that the facility was free of flies in the dining rooms, and the 200 hallway. Findings include: 1. During the group interview held after lunch on 8/30/10 at 1:50 p.m., all four residents in attendance complained about flies in the dining room, residents' rooms and hallways of the facility. Resident "A" had a fly swatter with him/her at the meeting and several flies landed on his/her shirt during the meeting. Resident "U" stated that the flies were awful this year and pointed out two lights in the dining room that he/she stated were purchased by the facility to help get rid of the flies. One of those lights was turned on at that time but, the other one was unplugged. Several flies were seen in the room during the meeting. 2. On 8/30/10 at 12:50 p.m., several flies were observed in the large dining room while the residents were being served lunch. One fly was on a resident's head. One was crawling on the floor. Staff members, who were assisting residents with their meals, were swatting the flies away with their hands. 3. During an interview on 8/31/10 at 5:30 p.m., the Administrator stated that the bug lights were purchased to help get rid of flies. She said that she had been advised by the Pest control company that the lights were supposed to stay off until meal time so they would attract the flies during the meal times. However, it had been observed on 8/30/10 at 1:50 p.m. that one of the bug lights was on after the mid-day meal in the large dining room. However, on 8/31/10 at 8:25 a.m. and 12:20 p.m. during the meals, the bug light in the small dining room on the 200 hall had not been turned on by staff but, the two in the main dining room had been. At 12:40 p.m., two flies were observed in the large dining room. There were flies in the 200 hallway and outside of room 214. 5. During an interview on 9/1/10 at 10:45 a.m. resident "F" stated that he/she ate all meals in the small dining room. The resident stated that since the weather had been hot, he/she had seen flies in the small dining room every day during meals. The resident stated that he/she carried a fly swatter. 5. In an interview on 9/1/10 at 10:30 a.m., resident "G" stated that he/she saw flies in the small dining room every day while eating his/her meals. 6. There was a fly in the room during observation of wound care being provided for resident #3 on 8/31/10 at 10:10 a.m. The licensed nurse, who was providing wound care, swatted at the fly with his/her hand to keep it away from the resident. 7. During an interview on 9/1/10 at 9:00 a.m., resident "C" stated that the flies had been so bad he/she thought that all of the residents should be given their own personal fly swatters. He/she stated that his/her family had brought him/her one. 8. On 9/1/10 at 9:30 a.m., the administrator said that last week the pest control company had identified a potential problem with the doors at the end of North Hall. It was observed on 8/31/10 at 12:40 p.m. that the double doors at the end of North Hall had not been maintained to prevent the ingress of insects and flies. 2014-03-01
