25 | On 07/06/2022 at around 10:00 AM, LPA Duguma attempted to conduct an initial complaint visit to the facility and was unable to gain entry. On the same day, at approximately 3:30pm, LPA Duguma visited the facility again and the staff #1 (S1) allowed the LPA to enter the facility. At 3:40pm LPA spoke with staff #1 (S1) and S1 informed the LPA that she started her shift at 1:00pm. In addition, S1 stated that morning shift staff left at 9am and admitted that, between 9am-1pm, two facility clients were left in the facility without staff supervision. On 07/07/2022, the licensee was issued civil penalties and Plan of Corrections (POC). The POCs were received 07/11/2022. On 07/13/2022 at 10:00am, LPA and Community Service Specialist, Quality Assurance (QA) Unishia Deneke arrived at the facility, client #1 (C1) answered the door and allowed entry. When asked if there were any staff present, C1 replied “no”. Upon access to the facility, LPA conducted a physical plant tour and confirmed that staff were not present. LPA contacted the designated administrator, Moses Wakabi, and Mr. Wakabi admitted to the lack of supervision and stated that the clients are “not supposed to be home before 1:00pm.”
Based on the inspection observation and interviews it was concluded that:
· Client #1 (C1) was left at the facility unsupervised.
During the visit, QA discovered medication errors. The Medication Administration Records (MARs) shows that staff, Bridget Alabi, initialed the record and indicated that on 07/09/2022 client #3 (C3) took a prescribed medication, however a physical inspection proved otherwise as the pod was ripped open, yet the pill remained inside. It was also discovered that C1 took medications yet it was not reflected on the July 2022 MARs.
Under Title 22 regulations, the following citations are issued and recorded on LIC809D. In addition to cited deficiencies, an Immediate Civil Penalties of $1,000.00 was issued for the repeat violation of CCR Title 22 regulation section 80078(a).
Exit interview conducted and a copy of the report was issued.
