32 | Additionally, LPA Colvin observed another table near the kitchen door which had food debris on the table (what appeared to look like bits of scrambled eggs) and large area underneath the table which had food debris/trash. As of the time of LPA Colvin's inspection, it was approximately three hours after the lunch service and less than two hours until the dinner service, yet the dining room was still in disarray (at least two tables). Lastly, when LPA Colvin and Associate Executive Director Taylor entered the kitchen to inquire with staff about the status of the dining room, no kitchen staff were in the kitchen or dining room area, and Taylor had to page for staff, who were also unable to recall how long since the residents that ate at the disheveled tables had been there. Therefore, based on observations and interviews, the allegation of "Facility is unsanitary" is SUBSTANTIATED.
Regarding the allegation "Facility has insects": LPA Colvin toured the facility's dining room and kitchen in between meal services (lunch and dinner). While inspecting the dining room, LPA Colvin observed one table (noted in previous allegation) to be covered with the dirty dishes and trash from someone's meal. LPA Colvin observed a fly on the dirty dishes, which still contained some food and liquids, and pointed out the fly to Associate Executive Director Taylor Collins as the fly moved from dish to dish. Title 22 Regulations are very clear that areas in which food is served are to be kept free from insects. Therefore, based on observations and interviews, the allegation of "Facility has insects" is SUBSTANTIATED.
A finding that the complaint is SUBSTANTIATED means that the allegation(s) is valid because the preponderance of the evidence standard has been met.
Due to observations made by LPA Colvin, the facility was cited and deficiencies noted on LIC 9099 D. An exit interview was conducted where this report and appeal rights were discussed. A copy of all reports and forms, LIC 9099D, and appeal rights are were provided to Associate Executive Director Taylor Collins during the exit interview. |
