Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program as evidenced by the presence of flies in multiple areas. On June 3, 2025, flies were observed in the kitchen's dishwashing and food preparation areas during two separate observations. Additionally, flies were seen on the nursing unit, including in resident rooms, at the nurses station, and in the resident shower room. Further observations on June 4, 2025, revealed flies in additional resident rooms and in the hallway by the food cart holding resident meal trays during tray service. These findings indicate that the facility did not adequately prevent or address pest issues in both food service and resident care areas.
