25 | On this day, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility for the purpose of following up on the plan of corrections for one type B deficiency cited during the investigation of complaint #22-AS-20240213154220.. LPA was greeted and granted entry by facility staff after explaining the reason of the visit. Administrator Aurelia Olais was present and assisted with the visit.
On February 27, 2024, LPA issued a type B citation for failure to meet the requirements of the California Code of Regulations Section CCR 87303(i)(1)(A) regarding Maintenance and Operations on the operation and accessibility of the facility's call system.
During today's visit, LPA verified that the pull cords for the call system were within reach of the residents and that the missing pull cords had been replaced. A proof of an in-service training conducted on February 28, 2024 was provided to LPA by facility administrator via email. During the visit, at least three residents were observed to be provided with an inaccessible pull cord, including one resident for whom the pull cord was positioned at the foot of the bed with no ability to adequately alert facility staff.
As a result, a civil penalty is assessed for failure to correct the earlier violation of the California Code of Regulations for the seven-day period from March 28, 2024 until April 3, 2024.
An exit interview was provided and a copy of this report along with appeal rights and civil penalty assessmenr were provided to a facility representative. |
