25 | On 07/12/2024 at 1:00 PM Licensing Program Analysts (LPA) J. Clancy-Czuleger arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management. LPA met with Executive Director Kelli Greene, and explained the purpose of the visit.
LPA came to the facility for a health and safety check relating to the facilities air conditioning being inoperable since April. S1 stated that they originally expected the broken part to be here in June but it was delayed by the manufacturer. The facility was informed on July 11th, 2024 that the part has been made and shipped, so they are waiting on its arrival to install it. To mitigate the heat the facility has purchased 110 fans, and 200 portable AC's along with renting commercial AC's to use in the common areas. S1 stated that they have at least one for every residents room and in some cases two if the room requires additional cooling. S1 also stated that they have hired additional staff to walk around and check each of the residents rooms to ensure the rooms are cool enough for the residents. They have also added water stations in the hallways.
LPA toured the facility and checked the temperature in the common areas (dining room, movie room, activities rooms, workout room, cafe and library) along with 15 resident rooms. These common areas are at a comfortable temperature for residents use. Each residents room has the portable AC running and are measuring at 79 degrees or lower. Prior to the main AC breaking the third and fourth floor hallways had a Mini split AC for additional cooling that are currently functioning.
After the tour LPA discussed with S1 PIN-23-13-CCLD titled PREPARATION FOR EXTREME HEAT, PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS, AND WILDFIRES EMERGENCIES and encouraged to have all staff review the pin.
