25 | On 08/14/2024, Licensing Program Analyst, (LPA) Kimberly Viarella made an unannounced visit to this facility to conduct the annual inspection. LPA identified herself upon arrival, stated the purpose of the visit, and asked to speak to the Designated Facility Administrator. LPA spoke to Magda Luis and a brief interview followed.
LPA compared guardian roster to the LIC 500 to ensure all staff were background cleared and allowed to care for residents.
The two toured the facility. LPA observed 4 caregivers, the Life Enrichment Director, their assistant, 1 housekeeper, 1 maintenance worker and 2 medication technicians (med techs). LPA observed 22 residents sitting in the courtyard participating in chair exercises, puzzles and other table top games.
LPA viewed approximately 9 resident rooms as they had their doors open to the main hallway. LPA inspected 4 resident rooms and observed personal care and hygiene items in drawers as well as in plain sight in 2 out of 4 of the rooms.
LPA observed grab bars and non-skid matts in the bathrooms. LPA observed soap and paper towel dispensers. LPA observed bathrooms without soap in the soap dispensers and without paper towels. Administrator sought technical assistance with residents clogging plumbing with paper towels. Regulations require non-toxic soap be present in the bathrooms for residents to use. This deficiency was cited on the LIC 809D page.
LPA measured the hot water and found it to be 118.1 degrees Fahrenheit and in compliance at the present time. Fire Extinguishers were last inspected on 03/19/24 by the Fire Code Safety Co. and were also in compliance. |
