32 | During the Office Visit, S1 confirmed to LPA Brown that last 03/2021, S1 did not know R1 needs to obtain appropriate medical care follow-up and S1 indicated to LPA Brown that S1 should have checked and followed-up on all the residents at the facility last 03/2021 to see if there were outstanding injuries or appointments to keep or reschedule. In addition, S1 indicated and confirmed to LPA Brown that a staff that's in-charge of making medical appointment at the facility left and never relayed the information regarding R1's need to obtain appropriate medical care follow-up and the unknown knowledge of R1's condition that needs medical care follow-up that time. LPA Brown informed Licensee/Administrator Hamed that deficiency will be issued as this pose immediate health, safety and personal rights risks to residents in care.
The second allegation indicates Facility is in disrepair. During the investigation, LPA Brown obtained evidence to corroborate the allegation. Staffs and residents’ interviews indicated that the two (2) washers and the dryers were broken last 06/2021 that's why staffs were washing residents clothes at the laundry mat. In addition, staff interviews revealed that they were washing residents clothes in laundry mat and it took the facility a month to replace the two (2) broken washers and dryers at the facility. Licensee/Administrator Hamed confirmed to LPA Brown that last 06/2021, the two (2) washers and dryers were broken on a weekend that time but because the repair person cannot go to the facility on a weekend, it was not repaired until that Monday but Licensee/Administrator Hamed was unable to provide LPA Brown documentation of the immediate repair/replacement of the two (2) washers and dryers at the facility. LPA Brown informed Licensee/Administrator Hamed that deficiency will be issued as this pose potential health, safety and personal rights risks to residents in care.
