25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to address violations observed during the investigation of ongoing complaints. The LPA met with Administrator, Kurt Niebres, and informed him of the purpose of her visit.
On this visit the LPA toured the facility and obtained information on current non-ambulatory residents in care. The LPA was informed on March 08, 2022 by the local fire department of the requirement for the facility not to place non-ambulatory residents on the second floor, though they had been observed on previous visits (March 15, 2022; March 11, 2022; March 10, 2022; February 24, 2022; and February 25, 2022). Through records review it was revealed the facility's approved fire clearance did not provide details of this requirement. Administrator Niebres agreed to establish a plan to ensure the facility remains in compliance with the fire clearance.
On February 24, 2022 the LPA observed Staff One (S1) checking the blood glucose of Resident One (R1). The LPA instructed S1 to discontinue the test, due to the individual not being an appropriately skilled professional, and informed Administrator Niebres of the occurrence. Niebres confirmed S1 was not an appropriately skilled professional. A citation will be issued.
On February 17, 2022 the LPA was informed of concerns relating to the lack of activities provided by the facility for the residents in care. The LPA observed on multiple visits (March 15, 2022; March 11, 2022; March 10, 2022; February 24, 2022; and February 25, 2022) there to be no activities available for residents. Staff and resident interviews reported no activities were being made available. A citation will be issued.
An exit interview was conducted; this report was reviewed with Niebres and a copy was provided, along with Civil Penalties and Appeal Rights. |
