25 | On 07/17/2020 at 4:00 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Luisa Fontanilla conducted a Face time Health and Safety check via tele-visit as a result of the department receiving a Priority 1 complaint during the COVID 19 shelter in place order.
Facility has an approved fire clearance for 3 non ambulatory and 11 ambulatory residents with (1) hospice waiver. LPA toured facility with Administrator, including but not limited to 6 resident rooms, common areas, dining, laundry room and kitchen. Residents appeared to be safe and there are no imminent health and safety concerns observed. However, LPA observed 5 residents in the dining room using wheelchairs. One resident was in bed during the tour. Administrator confirmed with LPA that all 6 residents are non ambulatory. LPA reminded Administrator that the fire clearance is approved for 3 non ambulatory only. Administrator states that he has applied for more ambulatory rooms for the past 4 years. However, the fire department has not come out yet to conduct inspection.
As of this visit, LPA is not issuing a citation on fire clearance violation pending facility file review in the office. Citations/civil penalty might be assessed in the future depending on the result of file review.
Due to COVID 19 shelter in place order, Administrator was not physically available to sign this report.
Exit interview conducted and a copy of this report provided via email. |
