Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, resulting in the presence of flies throughout the building on all days of the survey. Multiple residents reported ongoing issues with flies in their rooms, specifically during meal times, which required them to actively shoo flies away from their food. Surveyors directly observed several flies in the rooms of three residents on multiple occasions, and these residents confirmed that flies remained a persistent problem in their rooms and in the hallways. The administrator acknowledged awareness of the issue, confirming the presence of flies throughout the facility during the survey period.
