Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ridgecrest Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors observed live and dead pests in two resident rooms, and both residents and staff reported ongoing pest issues despite a performance improvement plan for pest control. Documentation showed that required room audits and follow-up actions were not completed or tracked, and the Director of Maintenance did not review pest sighting logs, relying instead on the pest control company. Facility records lacked evidence that interventions were implemented or monitored for effectiveness.
The facility did not maintain an effective pest control program, as evidenced by direct observations of roaches, flies, and ants in resident rooms, ongoing pest sightings reported by multiple residents and staff, and pest sighting logs documenting repeated infestations. Despite a pest control service agreement and regular treatments, there was no evidence that rooms with reported pest activity were specifically treated, and service reports lacked details on targeted interventions.
Failure to Implement and Monitor Pest Control Performance Improvement Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement, measure, and track the effectiveness of its Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for pest control, resulting in ongoing pest infestations in resident rooms. Direct observations by surveyors revealed live and dead roaches, a fly, and ants in two sampled resident rooms. Residents reported that they had informed staff about the presence of pests, but continued to observe them in their rooms. Staff interviews confirmed that pests had been seen in resident rooms and that sightings were documented in pest sighting binders at the nurse's stations. Despite the existence of a PIP initiated after previous grievances and citations related to pest control, there was no documented evidence that the plan's action steps were fully implemented or monitored for effectiveness. The Director of Maintenance stated that he did not review the pest sighting binders and relied on the pest control company to do so. The pest control company was expected to review logs and treat affected areas, but comprehensive treatments, such as wall penetration spraying, were only partially completed due to competing priorities. Documentation also lacked evidence of regular room audits for pest signs, as required by the PIP. Review of facility records, including pest control invoices and Guardian Angel Rounds checklists, did not show that all rooms received the required observation audits for pest activity. The checklists reviewed only covered a limited number of rooms and did not specifically document pest-related findings. Additionally, the facility's documentation did not demonstrate that follow-up actions were taken to ensure interventions were effective or that improvements were sustained, as outlined in the PIP.
Failure to Maintain Effective Pest Control Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, resulting in the presence of pests such as roaches, flies, and ants in resident rooms. Direct observations included a live roach in one resident's room, a fly and both live and dead roaches behind an oxygen concentrator, and multiple ants on the wall and under a light fixture. Residents reported ongoing pest sightings to staff, and staff confirmed they had observed pests and documented these sightings in pest sighting binders at the nurse's stations. A review of the facility's pest sighting logs for multiple halls revealed numerous documented roach sightings in resident rooms over several months, including repeated sightings in a specific room. Despite a service agreement with a pest control company for monthly prevention and special treatments, there was no documented evidence that rooms identified in the pest sighting logs were specifically treated. Monthly invoices and pest prevention service reports often lacked details about targeted treatments or identified areas of concern, even when pest activity was reported by residents and staff. The facility's policy required the use of various methods to control pests, but the documentation reviewed did not demonstrate that these measures were effectively implemented in response to reported pest activity. The ongoing presence of pests in resident rooms, as observed and reported by both residents and staff, indicated a failure to ensure the facility was free of pests as required by the facility's own policy and procedures.
