25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Christina Valerio and LPA Arielle Pascua arrived to the facility unannounced to conduct a facility annual inspection. LPAs met with facility staff Nancy Supetran, and explained the purpose of the visit. According to facility staff, the Licensee and Administrator is currently out of town.
LPAs toured the physical plant to ensure compliance with Title 22 regulations. The facility is a three story building. The facility's first and second floor are the licensed areas of the home. LPAs toured the first floor and the second floor of the facility. The first floor appears to be utilized for storage, emergency supplies, and a private area for staff. According to facility staff, the licensee never utilized the bottom floor for residents. The second floor had 4 resident bedrooms, 2 resident bathrooms, a kitchen area, and dinning area. Resident bedrooms were observed to be fully furnished with a bed, night stand, chair, dresser, and closet space. In bedrooms 4, bedroom 2, bedroom 1, and the dinning area, LPAs observed pee pads on the top of chairs, bedding, and the floor of the bathroom. According to staff, this is used to prevent any bodily fluids and is changed every morning. LPAs observed the resident bathrooms. Hot water was measured at 117.0*degrees, which is within regulatory range of 105-120*F. A fully charged fire extinguisher with an annual inspection of 05/09/2022, carbon monoxide detector, and air conditioning was observed to be in working condition.
The kitchen area was observed to be locked. According to a phone conversation with Licensee Renelee So and facility staff Nancy, the facility has always had the kitchen locked, which Golden Gate Regional Center has been in agreement with implementing this. LPAs informed the licensee that the department does not have an approved waiver to have the kitchen/food items locked and inaccessible to residents in care. Medications, cleaning supplies, and sharps were observed to be locked and inaccessible to residents in care.
