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 fire extinguisher was fully charged but serviced on 03/04/2021. Admin scheduled an appointment during the visit and confirmed the appointment day to be on or before 08/26/2022. At 3:27pm, the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and operational. Sharps were locked and inaccessible, but resident medications, caregiver medications, and toxins were unlocked and accessible to the residents in care. At 12:23pm, LPA observed Robafen Congestion Formula, two spray cans of Raid, and thirteen unpackaged supplement pills as well as six residents' pill plastic organizers in the caregiver's room due to the caregiver's bedroom being unlocked. The locking mechanism was installed and completed during the visit at 3:07pm. Around 12:06pm, LPA observed five bottles of cleaning solutions in an unlocked cabinet underneath the sink. Caregiver Baladec locked the cabinet immediately during the visit. The auditory alarms throughout the facility were not in operating condition as the alarms in Bedrooms #2, #4, and #5 required a new battery. Both sliding door and the exit door located in the living room did not have an auditory alarm. LPA requested Admin to obtain and install an auditory alarm on each door. The auditory devices were installed and corrected during the visit.

LPA Cho reviewed the Emergency and Disaster Plan for Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (LIC610E). Admin was advised to update the LIC610E form per Assembly Bill (AB) 3098 released on 12/13/2018 and as required per the Provider Information Notice (PIN 18-18-ASC). 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.
