Inspection Findings

FF925

During an interview on 8/9/24 at 11:30 a.m., the Administrator indicated there was no Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) in place for the prevention of gnats. He was aware there was a gnat problem and has had pest control coming in on a weekly basis, however, they did not always treat for gnats. He had asked the pest control company for a copy of the current contract they had previously signed with the facility so he could look at it and make revisions if needed.
