Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program as required by its own policy, resulting in the presence of rodents on the 2nd floor unit. During an observation, a rodent was seen in a resident room, and this finding was confirmed by a licensed nurse. The nurse reported observing rodents one to two times during each working shift. Additionally, interviews with two residents revealed that they had seen rodents in their rooms and expressed concerns about a persistent rodent infestation, noting that mouse traps placed in the room were ineffective.
