25 | Donna Gurriere, Licensing Program Analyst was in contact and met with Rachel David, Administrator.
LPA Gurriere completed the required COVID-19 testing protocols, and a daily self-screening questionnaire for symptoms of COVID 19 infection to affirm no COVID-19 related symptoms. The administrator/staff person was contacted to complete a facility risk assessment. LPA Gurriere ensured that hand sanitizer was applied before entering the facility and the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was worn: N-95 mask. Additionally, LPA Gurriere was screened by a staff person upon entering the facility.
During a review of the facility’s Stipulation and Waiver Order, it was determined that the facility has not been following item “T” in which it states “Respondents shall within 60 days of execution of this agreement, obtain a consultant to come to the facility on a quarterly basis for a period of three years to evaluate the facility’s compliance with the Regulations and assessing systems to include, but not be limited to: care and supervision, dementia care, medication management, documentation, reporting requirements, hospice care and care plans. Facility must submit consultant’s evaluation to its Licensing Program Analyst on a quarterly basis. The consultant needs to be reviewed and approved by the Regional Manager of the Adult and Senior Care Program Office.”
The administrator reported that the Allen Flores Consulting Group did not come into the facility most of 2020 and 2021 to provide consulting, due to the Covid pandemic. A letter was received on 12/10/21 from the consulting group confirming the information. The facility did not reach out to the licensing agency to ask if this part of their Stipulation and Waiver Order could be negotiated or waived during the time of the pandemic for the years of 2020 and 2021.
The facility has violated their Stipulation and Waiver Order and shall therefore be cited under Health and Safety Code (H&S) 1569.50(3) Conduct Inimical. The H&S Code is being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Appeal rights were provided, and the exit interview conducted. |
