25 | On 04/23/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Viarella made an unannounced visit to this facility to conduct a case management visit with regard to the deficiency observed during the complaint investigation # 27-AS-20240325092156 reported on 03/25/24. The LPA identified herself upon arrival, stated the purpose of the visit and asked to meet with the Designated Facility Administrator (DFA). The LPA began her visit with a tour of the facility.
LPA observed 5 Carestaff and 2 MedTechs on the Assisted Living side of the facility, along with 2 housekeepers. The repair on the hot water pipe in one of the hallways was completed and the LPA saw that the area had been cemented over and was surrounded by caution tape. LPA also observed that the warped flooring in the break room had been replaced. This LPA checked both of the medication carts during her tour to ensure that they were locked and in compliance. When the LPA entered the large activity room at the front of the facility, she observed a resident cleaning up after a morning group craft activity.
In Memory Care, the LPA observed 3 Carestaff and 1 MedTech. 1 staff member was assisting residents in the dining area with morning snacks, another was helping a resident change, and the third was doing room checks. Podiatry was on site today and many residents were scheduled for pedicures. Bingo was the next activity on the schedule for the day.
LPA noted new large calendar posters hanging in Memory Care and outside of the Dining Room in Assisted Living that listed all of the scheduled activities for residents.
LPA returned to meet with the DFA to address the reason for today's visit. During the complaint investigation mentioned above, the LPA conducted a records review. The LPA learned that a pre-appraisal was not conducted prior to the resident (R1) mentioned in the complaint. R1 moved into Assisted Living on 12/12/22 but lived there for less than a 2-week period before it was determined that R1 had behaviors better |
