Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) LaQueena Lacy arrived at the facility on 10/13/2022 at 11:05am to conduct a Case Management visit for the purpose of gathering information regarding a self-reported incident report regarding resident #1 (R1) ingesting hand sanitizer and having an ethanol level of 0.037. LPA met with staff Rena Hirsch and explained the purpose of this visit. LPA conducted Interviews with staff at 11:30am and resident #1 at 1:46pm. Interviews with staff confirmed all housekeeping carts are to be returned to the storing room on the first floor when not being attended by staff, and all bedrooms are locked when residents are in the common areas. During the interviews staff #1 (S1) stated “ the cart was left in a vacant room while taking a break, but the door was locked when leaving the room”. At approximately 11:15am LPA inspected eleven (11) random rooms in the Soul Memory Care to be locked and inaccessible to residents and did not observe any hand sanitizer or other toxins located in any of the bedrooms/bathrooms or any unattended housekeeping carts. The housekeeping cart storing room is located on the first floor and was observed at 2:38pm to be locked and inaccessible to residents storing cleaning supplies, toiletries, and PPE items. Upon record review R1 has progressive dementia and wandering behaviors. The facility conducted an in-service with memory care staff and will conduct the same training with remaining staff and additional training for all staff. Based on interviews, observation and record review a civil penalty will be assessed and a deficiency cited.

Exit interview conducted, copy of report and appeal rights issued.
