25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Natasha Persaud conducted an unannounced Required Annual Inspection. LPA was greeted and allowed entry into the facility and conducted the visit with Staff, Paul Hernandez. LPA spoke with the administrator via telephone while at the facility.
LPA, accompanied by staff, toured the interior and exterior of the facility, and inspected each room. The facility was not in good repair. The heater was broken, portable heaters were supplied to residents but they were still cold; mold in the bathroom along with holes; closet door broken off and leaned against the closet; kitchen sink cabinets falling apart and the rim around the sink needs caulking, causing it to leak; missing blinds in the living room; and most smoke detectors are broken and not affixed on the ceiling. Pathways were free of obstruction and slip hazards. Resident bedrooms contained the required furnishings. Doors, windows and screens, toilets, and showers were in working order. Extra linens were present, as well as Personal Protective Equipment. The facility had sufficient space and equipment to facilitate dining, laundry, visitation, meetings, and resident activities. Hot water temperature at taps accessible to residents were not compliant and measured at 135 F..
There was at least 2 days of perishable food, and at least 7 days non-perishable food present, all safely stored. Cooking/dining equipment and utensils were present. There were no sharp objects, toxic chemicals/poisons, or fireplaces accessible to residents. Medications were labeled, as required, and stored in locked areas. The First Aid kit was complete but there was no First Aid manual.
No pools or bodies of water were observed on the premises. Per the licensee's staff, no firearms or ammunition are kept at the facility. Carbon monoxide detector, and emergency lighting were operable. The facility telephone was working but the phone kept dying because it possibly needed batteries. Continued on an LIC 809C. |
