25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Elsie Campos conducted an unannounced Case Management visit to the facility today with the purposes of conducting a health and safety check. The LPA met with staff and explained the reason for the visit. There was two staff and four residents present.
On September 8, 2021 the Department accepted the Notice of Defense, resulting in the Default Decision and Order effective October 29, 2021, to be set aside and vacated. The matter raised in the accusation will be heard in an administrative hearing as a part of the due process. On September 9, 2021, the family members of all six residents were informed of the Order Granting Motion to Set Aside and Vacate Default Decision and Order. The administrative hearing process and the possible outcomes were explained to the families. Since the Decision and Order is vacated, the facility will not be closing on October 29, 2021 and new admissions are allowed.
During today’s visit, a physical plant tour was conducted at 3:07 p.m. At 3:12 p.m. the LPA observed the latch on the bathroom sink cabinet had appeared to be locked but the handle was broken, making the items underneath the sink accessible. At 3:12 p.m. the LPA observed that the shower handle was in disrepair. At 3:14 p.m. the LPA observed a side door exit blocked by a stack of iron chairs. When staff was questioned, staff indicated that it was due to a resident who has recently attempted to leave the facility during the night. At 3:41 p.m. the LPA observed that the side door exit was blocked from the inside by a dresser with a television and a bed. At 3:16 p.m. the LPA observed the door to the water heater was off. When staff was questioned, staff indicated that it was due to the water heater being broken. When staff was asked if there was no hot water in the facility, they indicated that there was hot water.
