25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert made an unannounced visit to the facility today to conduct an Annual Required Evaluation. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Lisa Gaitan, Administrator.
The facility is a five bedroom, two bathroom, single story residence with an approved fire clearance of six non-ambulatory residents with a hospice waiver for six. The facility currently has a census of six residents in care with two on hospice.
During today’s visit, LPA toured the facility and inspected the physical plant, including but not limited to testing all smoke detectors and testing hot water temperature in two of two resident bathrooms. The hot water temperature measured between 119.1 to 119.7 degrees Fahrenheit and all smoke detectors were operational. Resident bathrooms had grab bars and non-skid mats with covered trash cans. The fire extinguisher is charged and was serviced on June 4, 2024. The facility’s last fire drill was conducted on January 8, 2025.
LPA inspected the facility food supply and observed the facility retained a minimum of two days perishable and seven days non-perishable food on hand. Knives and cleaning solutions were secured in the garage LPA observed medication storage and reviewed the centrally stored medications. Per review of medications, it is not clear if they are being given as prescribed. LPA advised Administrator to use the digital Adivantus system to inventory and account for medications. An LIC 809-D will be given.
LPA toured the exterior of the facility and noted a shaded seating area and various seating areas in the backyard. There are no obstructions in passageways and the exterior gate is self-latching. LPA observed residents in the common area watching a movie. Residents were going to celebrate a St. Patrick's day dinner later in the day.
