25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Ashley Smith and Salia Walker conducted an unannounced Case Management-Deficiencies inspection visit at the facility today due to deficiencies observed during the investigation of complaint control # 29-AS-20210816113039.
At 8:56 a.m., the LPAs observed that the gate was not single latched. When the staff allowed the LPAs on to the property, staff had to unlock the gate from the inside. This is a fire clearance violation. The LPAs informed the owner of this, and they stated that they would change the mechanism of the lock to ensure that it was single-latch only. The Licensee changed this mechanism and the LPAs observed the new lock at 2:50 p.m.
At 9:11 a.m., the LPAs identified there was only one staff to six residents. The staff claimed that they were only a volunteer. The LPAs confirmed that this individual was not associated to this facility. At 9:30 a.m., an additional caregiver Oganes “John” Duymalyan (S2) arrived, and stated that they have worked at the facility for almost six months. The LPAs confirmed that this individual was not associated to this facility. The Licensee previously attempted to associate S2 to the facility, but used an incorrect licensing number. During today's visit, the Licensee submitted the appropriate documentation to complete the clearance transfers.
At 10:33 a.m., the LPAs observed the medication cabinet to be open and accessible. The LPAs informed the Licensee, and the Licensee confirmed that they would repair the mechanism to ensure that medications remain locked and inaccessible. This was repaired during today's visit.
During today's visit, it was communicated that Resident #1 (R1) was hospitalized in August 2021. An incident report was not submitted to the Department, notifying the Department of the incident.
Pursuant to Title 22 of the CA Code of Regulations, the following deficiencies were cited (refer to LIC 809-D):
Exit interview conducted, today's reports and appeal rights were reviewed and issued. Civil penalties issued. |
