32 | LPA also conducted a tour of the outside of the facility with Maintenance/Housekeeping Supervisor. The facility is located in a high vegetation rural neighborhood where many of the neighboring homes have multiple fruit trees, gardens, and other varieties of vegetation. There was no evidence of rodents and/or rats, or sign of rodent/rat excrement, or rodent/rat destruction in the outside area of the facility.
Further interviews conducted revealed the facility contracts with a local vendor for rat and rodent removal, pest control, termite inspection, bird control, and fumigation. The contract with the vendor includes a monthly routine visit for spraying and a more in-depth spraying every four months outside the facility. The last four-month in-depth spraying was conducted in March 2025. Interim Executive Director stated no reports of rats, rodents, insects, etc. have been reported to facility directors and if there were, it would show in the vendors’ reports. LPA reviewed pest control Invoice #501984 dated 5/6/2025 for routine spraying on the same date as invoiced from 10:52 am to 11:47 am. No note of rodents, rats, insects, etc. were noted in the invoice. Further, Interim Executive Director stated, “I have never received a report that there were rats or rodents within our facility. If there was, I would have done something about it immediately!”
Based on interviews conducted and observations made, the allegation that the facility has rodents is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
On the allegation, staff failed to maintain accurate residents' records: Complainant’s concern is residents’ charts are not being regularly updated. During today’s visit, LPA conducted staff interviews and obtained copies pertaining to the allegation. Interviews conducted revealed upon a resident's admission, each resident’s records are compiled as the “admission packet” including the resident’s face sheet, LIC602, POLST form, insurance information and Pre-Appraisal. Interviews conducted revealed each resident’s records are updated on an “as needed" basis including but not limited to medical visits, medical emergencies, and other serious illness/serious injury reports. Interviews conducted revealed Wellness Director is responsible for chart keeping and regularly updates residents’ files. Interviews conducted further revealed a “care plan” is kept for each resident in the resident’s binder. The Care Plan lists the services that are offered and the price value for each service. It is originated with the family just prior to move in and it is maintained and changed based on a resident’s need. Re-appraisals are conducted on an “as needed” basis as well as on a regular basis as a “care conference”. Wellness Director communicates with the residents and their responsibility parties on an “ongoing basis”. Record review of the documents revealed no discrepancies or inaccuracies in residents' records. Therefore, based on interviews conducted and records reviewed, the allegation Staff failed to maintain accurate residents records is deemed Unsubstantiated at this time.
