32 | Operational Requirements: The facility is licensed for 6 non-ambulatory residents and has a hospice waiver for up to 3 residents. LPA Colvin observed through review of the resident files that one resident (R1) is bedridden. The facility does not have bedridden fire clearance. Deficiency cited. Violations of the facility's fire clearance is considered a serious violation and is subject to an immediate $500 civil penalty, which LPA Colvin will be assessing today.
Staffing & Staff Records: LPA Colvin confirmed that there are sufficient staff present to meet the needs of residents. LPA Colvin additionally confirmed that the facility has an Administrator with a current Administrator Certificate, though Licensing has not completed processing to update the Change of Administrator. LPA Colvin additionally observed that the acting Administration, Aurora Cuasay, is not associated to the facility. Deficiency cited. When there is a violation of criminal background clearance (such as staff not being associated), a civil penalty is assessed in the amount of $100 per day, per staff member, with a limit of $500 per staff member being assessed, unless the facility has repeated this violation in the last 12 months. Aurora Cuasay has been acting Administrator for the facility since late 2023, so LPA Colvin will be issuing $500 in civil penalties ($100 a day x 5). LPA Colvin additionally observed that at least one direct care staff (S1) does not have current CPR/First Aid Certification, as there's expired in 2023. Deficiency cited. LPA Colvin was unable to verify staff training as staff files were not available to LPA Colvin during today's inspection. Deficiency cited.
