Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jacob Williams and Bethany Mirlohi arrived unannounced to conduct a Case Management. LPA met with Caregiver Beatrice Okyere during today’s inspection. LPA attempted to contact Administrator via telephone to inform her of visit and left a voicemail. LPA completed required COVID-19 testing protocols, and a daily self-screening questionnaire for symptoms of COVID-19 infection to affirm no COVID-19 related symptoms. LPA ensured they applied hand sanitizer before entering the facility and the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was worn: N-95 Masks.

During complaint investigation LPA’s observed several additional deficiencies. On 10/5/2021, Administrator/licensee failed to protect the personal rights of clients in care to receive safe and healthful accommodations and engaged in conduct inimical to the health, welfare, and safety of residents in care, in that administrator failed to wear face coverings while providing care and supervision to residents in care, in violation of official government orders requiring the wearing of face coverings while working under specified conditions.
A facility tour was conducted on 10/5/2021 and 10/7/2021. LPA observed medications were being stored in the “personal residence” side of the building, however the door to the personal residence was unlocked and medications were accessible to residents in care. In addition, on 10/7/2021 LPA observed cabinets storing medications were unlocked, and medications were accessible to residents in care. In addition, LPA looked through food supply and observed 7 day non-perishable amount of food but LPA did not observe a sufficient amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. LPA observed an insufficient amount of 2-day perishable foods as required.
