32 | LPA did not inspect Resident #1's (R1's) bedroom and private bathroom per the resident's request. The five out of the six resident bedrooms had the required furnishings, bed linens, and closet/drawer space to accommodate each resident comfortably.
Resident bathrooms were checked. Toilets and water faucets worked properly, grab bars were secure, showers were free of mold/mildew, and a non-skid mat was in place. Resident bath towels and personal hygiene supplies were adequately stocked including paper towels and hand soaps. LPA observed the hand washing signs. LPA Cho tested the hot water temperature in three out of the four resident bathrooms and the temperatures measured at 143.6 degrees Fahrenheit in the Bathroom #1, 144.8 degrees Fahrenheit in Bathroom #2, and 145.0 degrees Fahrenheit in Bathrooms #3.
LPA Cho inspected the kitchen along with Admin Rebekah. Perishable and non-perishable food supplies were checked and adequately stocked at the time of the visit. The fire extinguisher was fully charged. The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and operational. Medications, toxins, and sharps were locked and inaccessible to the residents. The auditory alarms throughout the facility were in operating condition.
LPA Cho toured the outside grounds along with Admin Rebekah. There were no bodies of water present. There was shading and sufficient seating for residents. Walkways around the home were clear of hazards, and the exit gates were self-closing and self-latching. There were no security bars or weapons on the premises.
LPA Cho reviewed the Emergency and Disaster Plan for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (LIC610E). Facility does have back-up emergency food and water supply. The First Aid Kit met all the required components except the first aid manual, and the facility had sufficient PPEs and antigen testing kits.
No resident or staff files were reviewed at the time of this visit. LPA reviewed the COVID-19 mitigation plan of the facility as well as Assembly Bill (AB)665. This bill would require residential facilities serving adults, residential care facilities for persons with chronic life-threatening illness, and residential care facilities for the elderly with existing internet service to provide at least one internet access device that can support real-time interactive applications, is equipped with video conferencing technology, and is dedicated for client or resident use. |
