Based on interview and record review, conducted during a site visit on 10/06/23, it was confirmed the facility failed to take measures to prevent the entry of rodents, flies, mosquitoes, and other insects. Findings include, but are not limited to:
During interviews on 10/06/23, Staff 1 (ED) and Staff 2 (MC ED) stated the facility had an ongoing issue with bed bugs that started around January 2023. Staff 1 identified a group of apartments that continued to be infested with the bed bugs, including apartments 201-202, 204, 207, and 216-220. Staff 1 stated, "Treatments the facility has used to control the bed bugs included, a bed bug sniffing dog, heat treatments in the affected rooms and the removal and replacement of infested furniture." Staff 2 stated, "The bed bugs have only been on the second floor and had not extended to other areas of the facility."
A review of the pest control company invoices indicated the last time a pest control company had been to the facility to treat for bed bugs was 09/28/23. The invoice indicated the facility still had bed bugs in rooms 207, 216, and 217.
It was confirmed the facility failed to take measures to prevent the entry of rodents, flies, mosquitoes, and other insects.
On 10/06/23, the findings were reviewed with and acknowledged by Staff 1 and Staff 2.
Verbal plan of correction: Staff 1 stated the facility will continue to treat the rooms until eradicated.
