25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to address concerns observed during a case management visit on August 31, 2022. The LPA met with Administrator, Kurt Niebres, and informed him of the purpose of the visit.
The LPA observed insufficient staffing during a visit on August 31, 2022; the LPA observed only one staff present; one resident was observed to be calling out for assistance and reported they had been been waiting for several hours, interview revealed Staff One (S1) was conducting multiple tasks, such as passing out medications, changing residents, putting residents to sleep, and checking on residents routinely. In addition, the LPA observed the call system, which transmits a visual signal to a centrally staffed location, was not monitored appropriately. The LPA observed insufficient staff available to monitor the visual signal sent to the medication room. This poses an immediate risk to the health and safety of the residents in care. A Citation and Civil Penalty (due to a repeat violation) will be issued.
An exit interview was conducted; this report was reviewed with Niebres and a copy was provided, along with the LIC 811, LIC 421FC, and Appeal Rights. |
