Kettering Heights Post Acute: Wildlife Breach Violations - OH
The pest control company had flagged the problem as far back as February 2026. A representative, identified in inspection records as Pest Control Rep #18, said he met with the facility's Administrator and Maintenance Director, walked them through the entry points, and told them the holes needed a contractor to seal them properly. He said he stopped by and reached out repeatedly between February and May. Each time, he was told the facility was waiting for corporate approval.
When trapping finally began in May, the scope of it became clear. Two adult raccoons were caught on May 13. The next day, one adult gray squirrel and one cat were trapped. On May 15, two more raccoons were removed.
Once work started, the pest control technician got a closer look at the gaps and found they were larger than originally observed. Rep #18 said the technician determined he could not seal them properly himself and again recommended the facility hire a contractor.
The Maintenance Director never returned two calls from inspectors.
The Administrator told inspectors on May 27 that he had been informed attempts to reach the pest control vendor between February and May were unsuccessful, so he reached out himself and hired the company. He said he was never told a contractor was needed to seal the holes.
Someone in that chain of communication, between the pest control representative who says he delivered that recommendation in person and the Administrator who says he never received it, left the building open to wildlife for the better part of four months while residents were inside.
The inspection was conducted as part of a complaint investigation.

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.
