-During the tour of the physical plant LPA observed for a double pane window in the master bedroom to be broken withe several sharp, and jagged pieces to be sticking out for both residents and staff to be cut and or injured. The window was reported to have been broken on 5/31/23. Ms. Okoro placed Resident #2 (R2) inside the room. R2 is able to ambulate with a walker, the broken window poses an immediate heath and safety concern. Deficiency cited.
-LPA observed for all three (3) resident bedrooms to have camera's located in each corner above the bedroom doors. LPA explained that any form of video surveillance needs to be approved, and to have cameras in the resident bedrooms was a violation of their personal rights as well as privacy. In addition the use of cameras is not included in the facility's plan of operation. LPA did not observe any signed consents from the residents or their responsible parties consenting to the use of video surveillance. Per the Licensee, Ms. Okoro the cameras are used as a safety measure to keep an eye on the residents as they are a fall risk. Deficiency cited.
Based on today's visit, deficiencies were observed in the areas evaluated and cited according to California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 and listed on the 809D.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report, 809D, and appeal rights were provided to Leocardia Ogolla, Caregiver. |
