25 | On 3/28/22 at 9:52am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Michael Bilger arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit. LPA met with Administrator Maria Cleotilde Brelin and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA requested medication logs, physician orders for resident1 (R1), R2 and R3. LPA also reviewed incident report dated 2-22-22 for R1. LPA also conducted a facility observation. LPA also interviewed Administrator. Additionally, LPA reviewed Admission agreements for R1, R2, and R3.
LPA toured facility inside and out. Current temperature is 68*f. Facility appears clean and sanitary with no foul odors. LPA was screened for COVID upon entry including temperature and COVID-19 screening questions. All toxins and other dangerous materials are secured and inaccessible to residents in care. Food supply is adequate and meets the 7 days non-persishable and 2 days perishable items requirement. No obstructions to fire exits noted. LPA conducted COVID-19 screening questions prior to entry to ensure no active COVID at this time. Bathrooms appeared clean and sanitary. COVID signage observed. Hand sanitizer observed throughout. Based on facility observation, it was determined that R1 is currently on isolation for skin condition. LPA did not observe isolation cart or signage on R1s door to indicate isolation precautions. Based on review of medication logs and medication orders, it was determined that a medication order for a skin condition originated on 3/18/22 and was not started for R1 until 3/25/22 and alternative methods were not initiated by licensee to ensure skin treatment for R1 was received. A review of admission agreements for R1, R2, and R3 as well as interview with Administrator revealed a notification of rate increase was given which did not reflect a 60-day notice of rate increase.
Based on record reviews, observations, and interviews, deficiencies are cited under Title 22, Division 6 and Health and Safety Codes. An exit interview was conducted with Maria Cleotilde Brelin and a copy of this report was given to Maria. Appeal rights provided. |
