Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, as evidenced by the observation of a large quantity of mouse droppings in multiple resident rooms across all six nursing units. During a walkthrough with the Maintenance Director, numerous rooms were found with significant mouse droppings. Interviews with two residents confirmed sightings of mice in their rooms. The Housekeeping Director acknowledged that although rooms are cleaned daily, the observed room had not yet been cleaned and confirmed the presence of a significant amount of mouse droppings. Review of pest sighting logs revealed recent reports of mice and roaches in various rooms on different dates.
