25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Valerie Flores conducted an unannounced visit for the purpose of the facility closure. LPA met with Administrator Heather Scott and informed of the purpose of the visit. A tour of the facility was conducted.
The department learned of the closure on 7/19/24. Administrator Heather contacted the department for guidance and advised LPA of the Licensee's intentions of closing the facility due to the Licensee wishing to retire. Documentation of the advice given was documented on an LIC812 on 7/19/24. As of 8/26/24, the new Applicants have not submitted an application to the Centralized Application Bureau (CAB).
LPA toured the facility and did not observe any immediate health concerns or violations. LPA observed the required bedding, furniture, and lighting in residents room. The facility maintained a 2-day supply of perishable foods and 7-day supply of non-perishable foods. LPA conducted random interviews with residents and staff to determine how residents were notified of the closure and corroborated with Administrator to identify when the intent to sale notice was given to the residents. Administrator forwarded a copy of the notice to the LPA. Said notice will be filed in the facility's file at the Regional Office (RO).
LPA advised Administrator to forward LPA Flores an updated notice of the intent to sale with the new effective date projecting the 10/1/24 date and to forward the changes to all residents and their responsible parties. LPA advised Administrator that it is still the Licensee’s responsibilities to oversee day-to day operations until the new applicants become licensed.
The Licensee does not wish to forfeit their licensee until the Change of Ownership has been completed. An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was given to Administrator Heather Scott. |
