25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Martinez, conducted an unannounced visit to the facility to continue the investigation of complaint #18-AS-20230524095653. The LPA met with Kurt Niebres, Administrator, and informed him of the purpose of the visit.
During the visit the LPA was approached by Resident One (R1) who asked the LPA to open the doors at the main entrance of the facility, so they could exit the building. The LPA approached the sliding doors of the main entrance of the building and observed the doors would not open. The LPA approached the medication room, found Staff One (S1) and requested their assistance with opening the doors. S1 made a comment about how it was already past 7:00 PM, and that R1 needed to call in order to get back into the building. The LPA observed S1 use a step to turn a swith an the top of the sliding door in order to allow the doors to open from the inside of the facility. This poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of the residents in care. A citation will be issued.
An exit interview was conducted; this report was reviewed with Niebres and a copy, along with instructions on appeal rights, was provided. |
