Decay, bed bugs at Petersburg assisted living facility
When Kevin Harris got a second job as a housekeeper at an assisted living facility, he was pretty happy. Not only would the additional income be a boost, but the job in Petersburg would be at the same place where his girlfriend had just started working, too.
His joyful feelings soured within his first hours working at Fillmore Place.
Less than a month after his last day there, Harris met 8News a block away to recall what working there was like. He flipped through photos he’d sent to us — recalling the unsanitary conditions he said he found elderly and disabled residents living in.
“If their families came here, I’m pretty sure all these residents would have been removed already because of how nasty it is,” he said.
In many rooms, Harris said he saw bedding, including bed bug covers, ripped and soiled beyond the help of his girlfriend’s laundering abilities during her brief stint at Fillmore.
Harris and his girlfriend sent pictures, videos and claims of horrifying conditions to several state agencies. But state records indicate the photos weren’t showing the state anything they didn’t already know.
A Department of Social Services inspection report from Dec. 14 lists and shows 26 different types of violations at Fillmore Place.
