25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Cynthia Chan conducted the required annual inspection using the infection control domain. LPA Chan met with the Director of Wellness, Natlicole Kincherlow, and explained the purpose of the visit. The facility is licensed as a Continuing Care Residential Community (CCRC) to serve 175 residents of which 70 may be non-ambulatory and 5 may be bedridden. There is a hospice waiver for 5 residents. The facility currently has 26 residents in Assisted Living, 54 in Independent Living, and 14 in Skilled Nursing.
The community includes an Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Skilled Nursing area. LPA Chan toured the one story Assisted Living side that consists of 39 resident rooms, 2 spacious outdoor areas with ample tables and chairs, a large activity/lounge room, a dining room, and additional eating area.
Upon entry, the facility has a check-in station for covid-19 questionnaire and taking visitors/staff temperature. Covid-19 signage such as social distancing and symptoms are posted around the facility. LPA recommended staff to add more signage such as cough/sneeze etiquette and hand washing in the common areas and in the kitchen. LPA inspected 4 rooms: #26, #31, #35, and #46 and the hot water temperature in those rooms measured within the required range of 105 - 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The residents' rooms have the adequate furniture for comfort living. The smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and functional. The refrigerators and freezers are set at appropriate temperatures. There was sufficient perishable and non-perishable food and items are properly stored. The hallways and stairways are clear and free of any obstructions.
LPA selected 4 resident files to confirm emergency contact is updated and to check their medications. LPA observed discrepancies for all 4 resident's medication where medications are not being administered as ordered by the physician.
Per California Code of Regulations, Title 22, the deficiencies observed are documented on 809D. Exit interview held. A copy of the report and appeal rights were provided. |
