Summary

A deficiency was identified when a resident was observed sitting on his bed eating breakfast, and a live pest, later identified as a water bug or roach, was seen on top of the resident's bed linen next to him. The incident was witnessed by a CNA, who attempted to remove the pest, which then moved onto the floor and was stepped on by the CNA. The resident expressed a preference for not having pests on his bed while eating. The presence of the pest was confirmed by a pest control technician, who identified it as either a water bug or roach after reviewing a photograph of the insect. The deficiency centers on the facility's failure to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for the resident, as evidenced by the presence of a live pest on the resident's bed during a meal.
