This is a single-story facility with a main entrance into the living room/activity area, a kitchen/food service area, a long hallway with restrooms, and a back exit into an enclosed outdoor backyard/activity area. Disinfectants, cleaning solutions, poisons, and other items which could pose a danger if readily available to clients are stored inaccessible to clients.

KITCHEN/FOOD SERVICE PREPARATION: The LPA inspected the kitchen/food service area and observed that knives/sharp instruments are stored inaccessible to clients. The food service area consists of a locked cafeteria style kitchen, which is a separate indoor room connected to the main living room area. The kitchen is accessible for employees by two doors with a viewing window in between, having a pull-down shutter. During the business hours of the ADP when clients are in the facility, the two doors to the kitchen are locked and the shutter is opened, allowing clients to observe the kitchen area, but making the sharp instruments, heating elements, and cleaning materials inaccessible to clients. The administrator demonstrated this to the LPA, which was observed by the LPA. Kitchen appliances were in operable condition and looked clean/in good repair. The LPA observed perishable items in good condition, with proper expiration dates precluding the perishable items from expiring. The facility has a sufficient supply of perishable and non-perishable food. Additional perishable food items were maintained on a shelf and/or a freezer. The hot water temperature was measured in the kitchen at an appropriate temperature as per Community Care Licensing (CCL) regulations. The food service area was clean and sanitary, with covered trashcans and operating ventilation systems. No toxic substances are stored in any food preparation or storage area, and all cleaning supplies used in this common area are kept in a separate area than the food supplies. The freezer and refrigerator were both in the appropriate temperate Fahrenheit per CCL regulations. There is enough tableware and utensils for all clients living in the facility, and enough equipment for the storage, preparation, and service of food.

BACKYARD/OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AREA/ETC.: The backyard/outdoor activity area of the facility is completely enclosed by a metal gate/fence with unlocked latches and gates. There is a side gate from the facility, which is not delayed egress self-closing, but all clients are supervised by staff when they are in the outdoor activity area. The backyard of the facility is equipped with furniture for client use including shaded tables, chairs, as well as a swing set and playground equipment (slide, etc.). The LPA did not observe any bodies of water on the physical plant of the facility. The backyard of the facility has a door into the main living room/common area of the facility as well as doors leading to the administrator’s office and staff areas inaccessible to the clients. There is no designated laundry room and/or service as this facility is an ADP with no laundry service as per the Program Plan of Operation. Continued on 809-C

MEDICATIONS: The facility does not maintain a locked centralized storage area for resident medications as per the ADP facility plan of operation. The clients attending the ADP facility daily have their medications logged and charted from their residence and bring their medication daily with a required/charted schedule for each client’s required medications.

The staff members will keep up signs that promote good hand hygiene and symptoms of COVID. The facility has an adequate supply of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and the facility is able to obtain additional supplies as needed. The facility’s cleaning protocol is sufficient. If needed, the facility has the capacity to designate a single isolation room if the facility has a confirmed case of COVID-19. The facility’s policies and procedures as it pertains to infection control are adequate.

FACILITY DOCUMENTATION: There are postings throughout the facility, including emergency exit plans with necessary telephone numbers. The facility maintains documentation on site such as the Fire Department Clearance, Personnel Report, Plan of Operation, Emergency Disaster Plan, Facility Infection Control Plan/Mitigation Plan, Evacuation Procedures, Personal Rights of Clients, and a Facility Sketch. Provider Information Notices are available and able to be presented to Staff, clients, visitors, and accessible to LPA. Facility documentation is prominently posted in areas accessible to clients and their visitors.

At the time of the previous annual site inspection in 2023, the administrator of the facility informed the LPA that the facility was in the application process for a change of location to move the facility from the current inspected location to another building within the same general area. This Change of Location (CHOL) License application was in an ongoing status at the time of the 2023 Annual Facility inspection by the LPA. As of this current annual site inspection in 2024, the CHOL request was withdrawn due to the potential new location not having any type of sprinkler system, fire extinguishers, or any fire safety protection. The administrator stated that the facility will remain at the current location.

No deficiencies cited. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report issued to the facility.
