32 | LPAs attempted to conducted a mandated unannounced visit on 2/11/2025 at 8:40am and 3:50pm.LPAs contacted the Licensee who stated there were no staff available to meet the LPAs.
A second attempt was conducted on 2/13/2025 at 8:40am where LPAs were denied entry by an unknown uncleared person who identified themselves as Person 1 (P1). P1 stated they were not a staff member and there were no other people in the home at that time. They also reported that the Licensee instructed them not to let anyone enter the home and denied the LPAs entry. LPAs further observed at 9:15am (3) individuals coming out of the home who were unable to be identified as they covered their faces as they exited the home. LPAs contacted the Licensee who denied knowing P1 and denied instructing P1 not to let LPAs into the home. At 9:58am, LPAs attempted another visit, as the Licensee had stated a staff member Staff #1 (S1) was at the home, however when LPAs attempted entry and attempted to contact S1 and the Licensee LPAs received no answer.
The Licensee stated S1, Staff #2 (S2), and Staff #3 (S3) are working at the home, however none of the staff are on the Guardian roster.
Therefore, the licensee is being cited for denying entry to LPAs, an immediate civil penalty of $500 is being issued along with a citation. The Licensee is being cited for lack of supervision and staff presence, an immediate civil penalty of $500 is being issued along with a citation. The Licensee is also being cited for S1, S2, S3 and the (3) unidentified individuals who LPAs witnessed exiting the home, civil penalties are being assessed for all (6) individuals at $500.
During today’s visit it was confirmed with the Licensee Mary Martin over the phone, that the agreed upon POCs had not been submitted to the department by the POC due dates and had not been met. The time frame for POC inspection has lapsed, therefore the deficiencies will be re-cited on this report along with a new POC due date.
LPAs were unable to stay at the facility and deliver a report due to strong penetrated odor in the home that caused LPAs headache and nausea. LPAs encountered a client who made threats, used foul language, racial slurs, and yelled at LPAs. Staff present was unable to redirect the client. LPAs were able to conduct a walk through before leaving the home.
An exit interview was conducted with Mary Martin over the phone where this report along with the LIC809D page, and appeal rights were reviewed and provided.
