25 | On October 15, 2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kiran Jain arrived at the facility at 01:00 PM to conduct the Annual 1-year required inspection. LPA met with Elizabeth Espique, caregiver and explained the purpose of the visit. Chidi Ikeme, Administrator joined shortly after.
LPA toured the facility in the presence of a staff member, including resident bedrooms, bathrooms, common areas, kitchen, and outdoor spaces. Fire extinguishers were fully charged and last serviced on 07/08/2024. Two smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were tested and found operational.
The facility’s emergency disaster plan was reviewed. All exits, common areas, and outdoor spaces were observed clear of obstructions. No hazards or accessible bodies of water were observed.
The kitchen and pantry were inspected, with 7 days of non-perishable food and 2 days of perishable food available. No expired food items were observed, and open food items were properly wrapped. Sharp objects, chemicals, and hazardous materials were locked and inaccessible.
LPA randomly inspected resident rooms and bathrooms. Rooms contained required furniture and working lighting. Hot water temperatures in bathrooms measured between 106.7°F and 114.4°F. The laundry room was observed to be locked and is accessible for staff members only.
Five resident files were reviewed and found complete. Medications were securely stored, and Centrally Stored Medication Logs for five residents were audited and found complete.
At 2:45 PM, LPA reviewed six personnel records and 6 out 6 staff members have expired First Aid Certificate, which poses a potential safety risk to persons in care.
At 3:14 PM, LPA was unable to review emergency drill logs as Administrator was not able to show evidence/logs of emergency drills being conducted at the facility, which poses a potential safety risk to persons in care.
The First Aid kit was inspected and contained the required supplies.
