32 | Report Continued from LIC 9099...
It was alleged that staff does not ensure facility is free of pests. It was reported that multiple cockroaches have been observed inside the facility. During the facility walkthrough, the LPA observed resident bedrooms, the kitchen, and common areas, including the dining and living rooms. The LPA also reviewed resident binders while conducting a file review. At this time, no cockroaches or other pests were observed inside the facility. Record review and interviews revealed that the facility has contracted Dewey Pest Control to manage all pest control needs. The company recently conducted a treatment to ensure the facility remains pest-free. Staff interviews confirmed that a concern regarding pests had been reported to facility staff, who addressed the issue promptly by contracting a professional pest control service. Staff also mentioned that bug spray is used as a preventative measure to deter future pest activity. Resident interviews revealed that no bugs have been observed. Furthermore, two out of two residents reported no concerns regarding cockroaches or any other pests within the facility. Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, information obtained through record review and interviews, the facility immediately addressed and is continuously making an effort to keep the facility free from pests. Therefore, the allegation of “staff does not ensure facility is free of pests” is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report was issued. |
