25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit in order to conduct a required annual inspection. LPA arrived at facility, was greeted and granted entry by caregiving staff Myra Miciano after explaining the purpose of the visit. Staff called Administrator Rita Lee who arrived at approximately 4:20pm.
At approximately 4:00pm, LPA accompanied by caregiver Myra Miciano began the tour of the facility. There are currently five (5) residents in care, including one (1) on hospice. Residents are observed relaxing in their bedrooms or in the common areas and appears well taken care of. Facility appears to be clean, sanitary and free of odors in all areas inspected. Each bedroom is observed to have all required components and bathrooms are equipped with grab bars and slip mats.
LPA observed a check-in station next to the entrance of the facility where temperature checks are being documented for visitors. LPA observed the facility has COVID-19 Precautions posters, all required department postings and hand washing signs posted throughout. An outdated Administrator certificate was immediately replaced with the current version expiring in July 2022.
LPA observed a sufficient supply of food and water. A 30-day supply of medication is stored and locked. Facility has an adequate supply of PPE in the attached garage. LPA toured the outside of the facility. Outdoor space is free of debris and well-maintained with self-latching gates that can easily be opened. There is a water fountain outside with running water.
Advisory notes for technical assistance had been issued during the previous annual conducted by LPA Michelle Reed on 02/28/2020 regarding access to the stairway leading to the caregivers' bedrooms upstairs. LPA observed stairway remains accessible, however the only ambulatory resident appears alert enough for access not to constitute an immediate risk. Facility is however advised to reconsider access should the residents in care warrant it. |
