32 | LPA tested the hot water temperature in the resident bathrooms and the temperature measured at 122.3 degrees Fahrenheit in the Bathroom #1 and 122.5 degrees Fahrenheit in Bathroom #2. The water temperature was readjusted during the visit.
LPA Cho inspected the kitchen along with Admin. Perishable and non-perishable food supplies were checked and adequately stocked at the time of the visit. The two fire extinguishers were charged and inspected on 07/08/2021. Admin stated two fire extinguishers will be purchased. The smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and auditory devices were tested and operational except the smoke detector on the second floor hallway as it was missing a cover. Medications, toxins, and sharps were locked and inaccessible to the residents.
LPA Cho toured the outside grounds with the Admin and observed a three tier fountain with small amount of water. There was a locked shed that stored cleaning solutions. There was shading and sufficient seating for residents. Walkways around the home were clear of hazards, and two out of three exit gates were self-closing and self-latching. One out of three exit gates was missing a latch and did not close properly. There were no security bars or weapons on the premises.
LPA Cho reviewed the Emergency and Disaster Plan for and Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (LIC610E). Facility has back-up emergency food and water supply. The First Aid Kit met all the required components except a first aid manual, and the facility had sufficient PPEs.
LPA consulted the following: to repair the side gate latch and smoke detector on the second floor, to install an auditory device on the exit door in the backyard, and to obtain two fire extinguishers and a current edition of a first aid manual. LPA Cho reminded the importance of staying abreast with CCLD's COVID-19 guidance by reviewing and printing the Provider Information Notices (PINs) as well as by attending the CCLD Informational Calls. The PINs can be accessed at: www.ccld.ca.gov.
Based on the observations made during today's visit, a deficiency is cited in this review as per Title 22 Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations, therefore an immediate civil penalty is assessed. Advisory Notes (LIC9102) were issued during the visit. An exit interview was conducted with Administrator Cherry Aguila, and a copy of this report (LIC809, LIC809-C, LIC809-D, Civil Penalty Assessment LIC421, LIC9102s, and the appeal rights) were provided. |
