Based upon observations conducted on 8/19/10, 8/20/10, 8/23/10, 8/24/10 and 8/25/10 of the facility environment including hallways, resident rooms, dining rooms and care equipment, it was determined that the facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program so that the facility is free of pests. The findings are: On all survey days 8/19/10 through 8/25/10, roaches were observed crawling along corridor floors on both unit A and Unit B, were observed crawling on the walls of the corridors of both units, were seen in resident rooms, were observed crawling along the Nursig stations and were seen crawling on a medication cart and the Medication administration Record during a medication pass observation. Additionally, 5 of 6 residents confirmed this pest problem during a group meeting held on 8/20/10 at 10:30 A.M. During an interview held with the Maintenance Director on 8/19/2010 regarding the roach sitings, the Director acknowledged the problem of roaches and explained that the facility uses the services of a Pest control company which comes into the facility to exterminate different areas of the building each month and sometimes more frequently. Maybe the insecticide they use isn't effective or maybe we need to try another company. On 8/19/2010 at 5:330 P.M., the Maintenance Director provided the Survey team with a proposed contract for pest control services obtained from a new company. |
