25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Martinez, made an unannounced visit to the facility, accompanied by Licensing Program Manager (LPM), Rikesha Stamps, and LPA, Seo Jeon, for the purpose of conducting a required annual inspection. The LPAs and LPM were greeted and allowed to enter the facility to conduct the inspection. On today’s visit the LPAs and LPM met with Administrator, Peter Alcocer; he was notified of the purpose for their visit.
PHYSICAL PLANT: The Licensee is operating the facility within the conditions and limitations specified on the license. Outdoor and indoor passageways are kept free of obstruction. No pool or body of water was observed on the property. According to the Administrator, there are no weapons kept in the home. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, and poisons were inaccessible to clients in care. A comfortable temperature was being maintained in the home. There was sufficient lighting in all rooms to ensure the comfort and safety of clients. Hot water was tested and observed to be within regulatory requirements. Toilets, hand washing and bathing facilities were kept safe and in operating condition. Additional equipment for physically handicapped clients is available. The smoke and carbon monoxide alarms were tested and found to be operable. LPA Martinez observed an unknown amount of empty bottles on the side of the home; the grass in the back yard was observed to be over grown; a patio chair on the balcony was observed to be worn and tearing; and observed the bedroom of C1 to be dirty (empty bottles; dust on the dresser drawer; bags, boxes, and clothing on the ground); and a toilet was observed in the corner of the backyard. This poses a potential threat to the health, safety, and personal rights of the clients in care. Therefore, a citation will be issued.
FOOD SERVICE: There was a variety of food which appeared to be selected and stored in a safe and healthful manner. Food supply of nonperishable and perishable foods was sufficient. The kitchen was observed to be clean. |
