Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program as evidenced by the presence of flies in a resident's room. During a tour of the first-floor unit, a resident with cardiovascular disease and gastrostomy status was observed in bed, with a fly on the sheet and three additional flies flying in the room. The window screen in the resident's room was found to have a hole, and the resident's roommate confirmed that flies had been present for several days. The roommate also mentioned occasionally opening the window, but was unsure of the source of the flies. Staff confirmed the presence of flies and the damaged window screen during the observation.
