25 | On 10/14/2022, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility in order to conduct a required annual inspection. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Leodigario Garais, caregiver after explaining the purpose of the visit. Administrator Brevet Dao was notified by phone, but was not available to assist with the visit in person. Infection Control measures were reviewed over the phone. Administrator agreed to review the final report over the phone as well and authorized her staff to sign on her behalf.
At approximately 11:15am, LPA accompanied by caregiver toured the physical plant of the facility. There are currently six (6) residents in care, three (3) of which are receiving hospice care. Residents are observed relaxing in their respective bedrooms or in the common areas. One resident is observed to not be dressed and only able to cover his chest up with a bedsheet which is a deficiency in regards to their dignity and personal rights. More residents are observed in beds equipped with postural supports than there are residents stated on hospice, which prompted LPA to request the residents records on file to search for the required doctor's orders. Facility staff was only able to present resident files for 3 residents out of the 6 observed at the facility. Caregiver indicates that the three other residents were admitted this week and that the administrator is working on organizing the files.
Bathrooms are equipped with grab bars and slip mats. The main bathroom for use by the residents has a dirty floor, which LPA documented in photographs. An sufficient supply of linen is observed.
Sharp instruments are kept unsecured in a kitchen drawer without a functioning lock. Cleaning supplies are store unsecure under the kitchen sink as well as in the laundry closet which is not equipped with a lock either. The centrally stored medication is located in a closet in the hall leading to the bedrooms. While a padlock can be used, the closet was unlocked at the time of the visit.
