Based on staff interviews, observations, family interview, information provided by the family member and review of the facility's admission packet to residents or their families, it was determined that the facility had failed to ensure that for one (1) resident (#A ), his/her nightstand was free from food debris/spills and clutter and and failed to ensure for three (3) residents (#A, #B and #3), that food items were stored properly, from a sample of six (6) residents. Findings include: Staff interview with the housekeeping supervisor on 6-9-15 at 2:45 p.m. revealed that one of the housekeepers' weekly duties was to, with a certified nursing assistant (CNA) present, to check each residents' dresser drawers and nightstands for spills and clutter and to clean them. Also, a review of a portion of the facility's admission information to each resident or their responsible parties revealed that food items were to be stored in a container with a lid The facility failed to do both for this resident as evidenced by the following. A telephone interview with the family member on 6-9-15 at 2:18 p.m. revealed that he/she had gone to the facility around 4:30 p.m. on 5-31-15, to get resident A's belongings out of his/her room. The family member stated that when he/she opened the nightstand drawers he/she had observed the following. There were suckers with a hole on the outside of the wrapper, loose pieces of Gold Fish crackers, loose chocolate chip cookies and loose pieces of potato chips, and also large amounts of mice droppings in all three drawers of the nightstand. He/she also noted a tissue box, with a hole underneath it, where the mice had chewed through it. Review of evidence (pictures) of 5-31-15 of the inside of the three drawers of this resident's nightstand revealed that there were loose food items, such as loose Goldfish crackers, uneaten cookies, suckers and strings of beads. There were also evidence of mice droppings in all three of these nightstand drawers. Also, an interview with the alert roommate (B) of resident A, on 6/9/15 at 5:50 p.m. revealed that he/she had observed mice on the other side of the room. On 6-9-15, at 5:57 p.m., CNA CC, who routinely had worked with resident A, stated that the resident would take uneaten food into the room. Further interveiw with CNA CC revealed that if, he/she found uneaten food in this resident's room, he/she would throw it away. 2. On 6-9-15 at 6:00 p.m., observation of resident B's nightstand revealed manufacturers/ boxes of chocolate wafers and cookies in the nightstand drawers. They were not in a container covered with a lid. 3. On 6-9-15 at 5:55 p.m., observation of resident #3's room revealed a container of grapes.
