Summary

Staff failed to follow the facility's bed bug protocol after a bed bug was discovered in a resident room. On the evening of 2/19/25, a Certified Medication Aide (CMA) observed a bug on a recliner in a resident's room, collected it, and reported the finding to the nurse's station. Maintenance was notified, but instructions were given to leave the bug for maintenance to inspect the following day. The CMA did not bag the residents' clothing or shower the residents at that time, as she was unaware the bug was a bed bug. The facility's bed bug policy required immediate actions, including showering the resident, bagging and laundering clothing and linens, and sanitizing or removing furniture. These steps were not initiated until 2/21/25, two days after the initial discovery. The Administrator confirmed that the bed bug process was not followed promptly after the bug was found, and that the required procedures were delayed, resulting in a failure to implement the pest control protocol as outlined in facility policy.
