25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Victoria Brown arrived unannounced to conduct a health and safety check on the residents and observe the procedures put in place according to the Health Care Associated Infections (HAI) visit on 10/13/21. LPA met with Staff #1 (S1) and stated the purpose of the visit. LPA toured the physical plant inside and outside. At 9:00am S2 arrived and Donna Baustista-Colmenares, Administrator arrived at approximately 10:30am to assist with todays visit.
LPA observed the medication rooms for both the assisted living and memory care areas. LPA observed the required items for the first aid kit with the assistance from S3. LPA observed the red zone area.
LPA requested to review medications with S1. LPA and S1 found discrepancies in the process used for the medication room. LPA observed that the pill container and container slot for resident #1 (R1) had two different room numbers. LPA was informed R1 moved to a different room 1 month ago and the cup has not been changed. LPA observed cups for R2, and R3 did not have a name on it. In addition, R2's cup was turned to the side containing pills, no lid with a small paper cup on top of the pills. LPA observed R4 received a medication of Amlodipine 10mg Tab at 8am and upon review of the QuickMar, staff was unable to explain the system of using the bubble pack as there were 6 pills missing from the bubble pack and the MAR showed 15 administered for the month of October, 2021.
LPA did not observe a posting and staff had no knowledge of the (LIC308) Designation of Responsibility form. This was discussed during a telephone call on 9/16/21 with Administrator Donna Bautista-Colmenares, Licensing Program Manager Stephen Richardson and LPA. The conversation was also discussed with Brian Pawloski as well on a separate call the same day.
During a meeting on 10/19/21, Administrator stated a smoking area sign will be posted as well as hand sanitizer for resident use. LPA did not observe signs or hand sanitizer in the area during this visit. This will be mentioned on a Technical Assistance (LIC9102) during this visit.
LPA took photos of the areas of the facility mentioned above during this visit.
