On 09/05/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kelli Waters, arrived for the purpose of delivering the findings on the above stated allegation. On 08/15/24, LPA conducted a health and safety inspection, and no immediate concerns were observed. LPA conducted interviews with and gathered pertinent evidence.

On 08/04/24, this agency received allegations the facility has cockroaches.

During facility inspection on 08/15/24 and on subsequent visit conducted this date, LPA did observe minor evidence of cockroach dropping and shed skin shells in the kitchen area but did not witness any live insects. Interviews revealed that staff have seen evidence of dead cockroaches in the kitchen area after the pest control company sprays, however 4 out of 4 staff interviewed had not seen live cockroaches and confirmed that the kitchen was cleaned regularly. Record review revealed that facility has had a contract for pest control services at least monthly since January 2024 and traps in the kitchen area were also witnessed by LPA. Evidence shows that proper techniques have been followed to remediate the cockroaches in the facility and there is no evidence of an infestation.
