On 11/03/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jose Calderon conducted an unannounced annual required visit to Facility R Helping Hand LLC with a primary focus on Infection Control measures using the CARE Inspection Tool. LPA met with the licensee Richard Flowers. LPA explained the purpose of today’s visit. The facility is licensed to operate for four (4) ambulatory adults ages 18 through 59 years of age. Currently, the facility does not have any consumers from Harbor Regional Center (HRC). The facility is waiting on HRC for venomization.

The facility is a single-story structure located in a residential neighborhood. It consists of the following: three (3) clients' rooms, one (1) bathroom, a living area, a dining area, a kitchen, a garage, and an outside area.

LPA toured the physical plant along with Flowers. There were no bodies of water or obstructions on the premises. All rooms were inspected. Beds and bedding supplies were in good condition, adequate lighting was provided, and storage for the client's personal belongings was observed. Bed linens, comforters, and bath towels were adequately stocked at the visit. Bathrooms were found to be within Title 22 regulations and were clean and operational. The water temperature measured 107.0 degrees F. A comfortable temperature of 75 degrees was maintained in the facility.

LPA observed the facility to be sanitary and appropriately furnished at the time of the visit. Storage areas for personal hygiene, cleaning supplies, toxins, and sharps objects were stored and not accessible to clients. The kitchen was inspected, and sufficient perishable and non-perishable food was maintained adequately. All fire extinguishers are fully charged, and smoke detectors and carbon monoxide were operable. The facility has a working land line telephone.

During the visit, LPA observed the facility's infection control practices. LPA observed screening protocols for visitors, staff, and residents, and sanitizing stations in common areas and restrooms. LPA observed the facility has a 30-day supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). All mandated inspection control posters were posted. The facility has an approved CCLD Mitigation Plan. LPA Calderon noted the Administrator Richard Flowers Certification # ###### expiration date of ##/##/2023 was NOT valid at time of visit. The facility does NOT handle resident's money/cash resources and no Surety bond is needed. Per the Licensee the facility does not have a General Lability Policy. All the required documents are posted in the facility in a clearly visible area.

Currently, the facility does not have any consumers. The licensee wants to maintain its Community Care Licensing (CCL) license with the State of California. The facility is currently being used by the licensee as their home until the licensee receives approved consumers from HRC. The facility is, however, equipped to operation once consumers have been approved for placement.

No deficiencies were cited during this inspection visit.

An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was provided to Administrator Richard Flowers.
