Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident was observed sitting on her bed eating lunch in her room, and a pest was seen floating on the surface of her milk. The resident reported that she set her milk aside after noticing the bug, expressed feeling nauseated, and stated she would not drink the milk because of the contamination. She also mentioned having seen bugs flying around previously, though not landing on her food. A licensed vocational nurse (LVN) confirmed the presence of the insect in the milk and removed the cup from the room. The Central Supply Supervisor indicated that pest control is conducted monthly and was not previously aware of pest concerns in residents' rooms, but acknowledged the findings when informed.
