25 | On 11/17/22 at 10:33 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chavez conducted an unannounced on-site annual infection control visit to the facility above. LPA met with Staff #1 (S1) on-site and Carola White, Administrator, by phone and explained the purpose of the visit.
LPA toured the facility with S1 and observed the following: The facility has infection control signage throughout the facility on handwashing, cough etiquette and use of masks. Staff are wearing masks. The facility does not have soap and paper towels in resident bathrooms (3). S1 states that staff assist dementia residents with toileting and pull these items from the locked cabinet in the bathrooms which LPA observed. Fire extinguishers (3) are located in the kitchen and bedroom hallways. The extinguishers are fully charged and were inspected on 1/12/22. The facility has a pool with two gates, one with a proper lock, the other with a rope lock. LPA pulled on the gate with the rope lock, and the gate opened about 1.5 feet which could possibly allow a small person into the pool area. Licensee will replace the lock to ensure the gate does not open and the pool is inaccessible to residents in care, take a video, and send to LPA by 11/18/22. The facility has an outdoor lamp on the wall of the building which is hanging by its wires. Licensee will secure the lamp, repair, or replace, and send a photo to LPA by 11/24/22. At 10:47 am, LPA observed cleaning supplies in one of the resident bathrooms accessible to residents. At 10:55 am, LPA observed the door from the kitchen to the pantry unlocked. LPA observed six containers of cleaning supplies and tools in the pantry accessible to residents. At 11:20 am, LPA observed a bottle of cleaning chemicals in the backyard. Deficiency cited on a 9099-D page.
At 11:51 am, LPA conducted the Infection Control mitigation module by phone with the administrator.
Exit interview conducted, deficiency cited and the report and appeal rights emailed to the licensee. |
