25 | On 09/16/2022 at 11:00am, Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kevin Saborit-Guasch and Alvaro Ramirez made an unannounced visit to the facility in order to conduct a required annual inspection focusing on Infection Control procedures. LPAs were greeted and granted entry by Cristopher Ventura and Jocelyn Ventura, caregivers and explained the purpose of the visit. Facility administrator Giannina Adolfo was notified by telephone but was unable to assist with the visit in person due to flu-like symptoms.
At approximately 11:15am, LPAs accompanied by caregiver toured the physical plant of the facility. There are currently six (6) residents in care, two (2) of which are receiving hospice care. Residents are observed relaxing in the common area or in their respective bedrooms and appear clean and well taken care of. The six individual bedrooms include all necessary components. Bathrooms are equipped with grab bars and slip mats. Facility is clean, sanitary and free of odors in all areas inspected. Full rails are observed in the bedroom of resident R1 who is no longer on hospice. A Technical Violation is issued as full rails are a prohibited form of postural support for non-hospice residents.
Sharp instruments are kept in a locked cabinet under the kitchen sink, along with cleaning supplies. The centrally stored medication is located in a standalone cabinet with double doors and a magnetic lock for each door. Caregiving staff is observed opening the unlocked left door multiple times before the magnetic lock gets readjusted during the visit. A 30-day supply of medication is observed. LPA observed a sufficient supply of food and water present.
LPA observed the facility has COVID-19 Precautions posters and all required department postings. Staff present is adequately cleared and associated in Guardian.
