25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Ryan Gardner made an unannounced case management visit to conduct a Health and Safety check of the residents in care at the facility. LPA met with Administrator Eric Schwarcz and explained the reason for the visit.
During today's visit, LPA obtained documents relating to a self reported incident that occurred on 8/28/2023 involving two (2) residents.
The Health and Safety check included overall observation of the facility inside, and outside, including food supply, medications, physical plant, and the residents in care. LPA observed the following safety concerns in the kitchen:
The key to the knives drawer was hanging on a black string from the knives drawer near the pack lock giving the residents access to open the knives drawer. LPA observed sharp knives in the drawer. The key to the chemical cabinet was hanging on a black string on the cabinet near the pad lock giving the residents access to open the chemicals cabinet. LPA observed bleach and disinfectants in the cabinet. The key to the resident’s medications was hanging on a black string from the medication cabinet near the pad lock giving the residents access to the medications. LPA observed the resident’s medications in the medication cabinet. After the kitchen tour was complete, Staff S1 used a pair of scissors to cut the black strings with the keys off of the knives drawer, the chemicals cabinet, and the medication cabinet.
Based on the observations made during today’s visit, three (3) deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 6, of the California Code of Regulations.
An exit interview was conducted, and this report (LIC809) and LIC809D forms were discussed and provided to Administrator Eric Schwarcz, along with a copy of the appeal rights.
