Cascades At Galveston

During an interview on 09/05/25 at 12:48 p.m., the DON said a nurse notified her that there were roaches in Resident #2's room.

She said the roaches were reportedly on her wheelchair.

She said she asked staff to clean her up and to give her a bed bath.

She said they moved the resident to the room next door.

She said there were a lot of issues with Resident #2, and she had spoken to the Doctor and NP of psychiatry, because they were having issues with the resident getting very upset and yelling if they took her food items out of her room, specifically her meal tray.

She said she notified the Administrator and Director of Maintenance and told them pest control needed to come out.

She said she believed pest control came out the following day.

She said the NP with psychiatry visited Resident #2 and adjusted her medications and also talked to her guardian.

She said Nurse B may have told her that there had been a few roaches in the resident's room prior to this incident, but not to the extent that was reported that evening.

She said she did not know what date the roaches were found on the resident's wheelchair.

She said the wheelchair was power washed, her old cushion was thrown away, a new cushion was bought, and she believed maintenance tossed the bed mattress.

She said Resident #2 was in a new room.

During an interview on 09/05/25 at 3:02 p.m., the Director of Maintenance stated he treated Resident #2's room on several occasions. He said her mattress was also replaced about a month ago. He said he did not recall the dates, but just about every time he treated her room, he saw German roaches. He said he would pull out the end table, pull out the outlet, and would see between 10 to 20 roaches each time. He said he would treat the room with roach spray because it killed on contact. He said he did not personally treat the room last week, 08/24/25-08/30/25. He said last week, 08/24/25-08/30/25 (did not know the exact date), they moved the resident to a different room and let the exterminator treat the room. He said pest control had not been effective in Resident #2's originally assigned room. He said every time he went in her room, he found food. He said pest control came out 08/29/25 and treated the room. He said he would see food crumbs on the floor and on her bed. He said pest control came out monthly, and when they called them to come out to do other stuff. He said he also requested the exterminator to exterminate Resident #2's room on 08/20/25. He said having roaches in a bedroom could affect a resident's ability to sleep, their health, and cause discomfort.
