25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to address concerns reported regarding the facility's staffing. The LPA met with Licensee, Kevin Long Ha, and informed him of the purpose of the visit.
The LPA issued a citation on February 01, 2022 regarding lack of staffing. A Plan of Correction was agreed upon by Administrator, Kurt Niebres, to be submitted by February 04, 2022. No plan was received addressing the staffing of the facility. In addition, it was reported there was insufficient staff on February 06, 2022 and on February 07, 2022. The LPA followed up on the concerns on February 07, 2022 and observed there to be only one (1) caregiver and one (1) medication technician available. Interviews and records review revealed there to be insufficient staffing available on this date. A Civil Penalty will be issued.
Interviews revealed staff, who are not licensed professionals, are providing insulin injections to Resident Two (R2). The facility has been cited previously, on November 04, 2021, for non-licensed staff members giving injections to residents in care. A Citation and Civil Penalty will be issued. Interviews revealed Resident Twenty One (R21) has not received their insulin medication in approximately two (2) days. R21's medication list indicates the medication is to be given before each meal period. The Medication Administration Record (MAR) for R21 shows no log of insulin administered. A Citation will be issued. It was also reported there are seventeen (17) residents receiving Hospice services at this time. The facility currently has an approved waiver for eight hospice residents. No requests for hospice exceptions have been received from the facility. A citation will be issued. The LPA observed there to be no Written Record of Care on file for Resident Fourteen (R14) and Twenty (R20). Therefore, the LPA was unable to verify the care agreement made between the residents and the facility. A Citation will be issued.
An exit interview was conducted; this report was reviewed with Ha and a copy was provided, along with Appeal Rights. |
