Frederick Villa Healthcare: Pest Infestation Violations - MD
Federal inspectors visited Frederick Villa Healthcare on August 28, 2025, following a complaint filed about an infestation of roaches and rodents throughout the facility. What they found when they pulled the pest logs wasn't a disputed allegation. It was nine months of the facility's own written documentation, entry after entry, room after room.
The logs begin in November 2024. Two patient rooms: roaches and mice. Then January, another resident room: roaches. Then February 6, the entry that stands apart from the rest. The medication rooms, designated in the log as rooms 1, 2, and 3, turned up ants, roaches, mice, and mice droppings.
Roaches and mice had been documented in the rooms where nurses handle and store medications given to residents every day.
April brought a wave of entries spanning both floors. Rooms 118, 115, 120, 116, and 117 on one date: roaches. Rooms 217 through 220 the same day: roaches and mice. The following morning, rooms 105, 106, 111, and 112: roaches again. By April 23, the break room had ants. By April 25, roaches had reached the front area of the building.
May filled another page. Water bugs in rooms 207 through 209. Mice in rooms 100 and 109. Ants at the Unit 3 nurse's station. Roaches in a resident room. More ants, more bugs logged under entries that repeated the same rooms days apart, the same pests returning to the same locations.
June continued without interruption. Roaches in the rehabilitation area. Ants and roaches combined in rooms 102, 104, and 106. Roaches in the laundry room on June 24.
By July 16, roaches and mice had been documented in the conference room.
August entries, logged just weeks before the inspection, showed roaches and mice in rooms 202, 208, 314, and 315. The shower rooms, all three of them, turned up ants, roaches, and mice on August 6. A resident room logged gnats on August 8. Flies and gnats in another room on August 12. Flies again on August 15.
When an inspector sat down with the Nursing Home Administrator on the morning of August 27, the conversation was brief on the central question. Asked whether he had personally seen roaches and rodents in the facility, the administrator said yes. "We live in the state of Maryland and so I have seen roaches and rodents in the facility," he said. He noted the facility did have a pest management company under contract.
Later that morning, the inspector returned and walked the administrator through the specific concerns: the filed complaint, the pest logs, his own confirmation. The administrator's response was that the building was old and surrounded by woods and water, and that keeping pests out was a continuous effort. When the inspector indicated this was a serious concern, the administrator said, "Sure, I understand."
The pest logs the facility itself maintained documented infestations in resident sleeping rooms, the rooms where medications are stored and dispensed, the rooms where residents bathe, the rehabilitation area, the nurse's stations, the break room, the laundry room, and the conference room. The entries span from November 2024 through mid-August 2025. Inspectors classified the deficiency as having the potential to affect all residents, a designation that in a licensed nursing facility means every person living there.
The facility has a pest management company. The logs show what that arrangement produced over nine months.
