Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, resulting in the presence of pests in a resident's room and bathroom. During an interview, a resident reported that numerous black flying bugs were present in the room and would fly around their head while eating. Subsequent observation confirmed the presence of approximately 14 black, winged pests flying and resting on the walls in the resident's room and bathroom. These findings were based on direct observations and interviews conducted during the survey. The deficiency was specifically noted in one resident's bathroom out of 25 observed during the survey, with both the resident and staff acknowledging the presence of pests in the affected area.
