32 | Any rooms that are reported to have bed bugs or other pests are also inspected and serviced by the specialist. Staff stated that the residents are relocated to another room as their rooms are being treated. For one resident, it was recommended that the resident dispose of the bed because the bed bugs could be embedded in the wooden frame. However, the resident would not allow the removal of the bed to help eradicate the bed bugs.
LPA spoke to the pest control specialist, who stated that they visit the facility every other week to inspect and treat for cockroaches and other pests, as well as bed bugs if needed. LPA reviewed pest control invoices for March, April, and May. The reports show that the specialist has been inspecting and treating any sightings of roaches and bed bugs. Based on information gathered, the facility is taking action to prevent pests in the facility and continuing to treat rooms where pests are observed.
Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur; therefore, the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
An exit interview was conducted with the Administrator. A copy of this report, along with the appeal rights, was provided. |
