Information obtained during the investigation revealed that a recently replaced gate created a gap at the bottom, which allowed mice to enter the facility. The facility took immediate corrective action by installing door sweep on the new gate to eliminate the gap and prevent further rodent entry. Additionally, the facility contacted its pest control provider to verify that all pest management measures were current, adequate, and effective.

Although the facility has regular pest control visits and treatments to keep the environment free from pests, the condition of the new door allowed for a rodent to enter the facility and therefore, the allegation is determined to be Substantiated.

An exit interview was conducted, and the report was reviewed with the director Amitha Perusinghe. Appeals Rights were reviewed and provided along with a Notice of Site Visit. Notice of Site Visit must remain posted for 30 days.
