Ybor City Center for Rehab: Roach Infestation Complaint - FL
Inspectors visited Ybor City Center for Rehabilitation and Healing on October 21, 2025, following a complaint. What they found was a facility that acknowledged a pest problem and had not fixed it.
The nursing home administrator, identified in the report as the NHA, told inspectors that a resident had filed a grievance about flies a few days earlier. The grievance had not been resolved. She said she personally spotted a roach in her office the previous day and recorded the sighting. She acknowledged roaches in resident rooms were not appropriate.
The director of maintenance told inspectors that pesticides are not sprayed inside the building. He said he uses wasp spray outside. The facility's pest control contractor visits once a month.
The facility's own pest control policy says the contracted service is supposed to cover both interior and exterior treatment, that live insects in resident rooms should be reported to the maintenance or housekeeping supervisor and the administrator as soon as possible, and that residents should be removed from any area where live insects are found until the problem is addressed. The policy also says staff should remove food trays from rooms as soon as residents finish eating, a step the administrator said was not consistently happening.
Inspectors classified the violation as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting a small number of residents.
The roach the administrator found in her office the day before the inspection remained the clearest summary of where things stood: documented, noted in a logbook, and unaddressed.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
