25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Marcella Tarin and Manuel Monter conducted an unannounced annual inspection visit, and met with Administrator (ADM) Geralyn De Ocampo . LPAs toured the interior and exterior of the facility with ADM to include the dining room, kitchen, resident bedrooms, hallway bathrooms, and patio areas.
LPAs toured the kitchen area and observed a perishable food supply of at least two days and a non-perishable food supply of at least seven days. The refrigerator maintained at 37.8 degrees F and the freezer maintained at below 0 degrees F. The facility temperature is maintained at 72 degrees F.
LPAs toured the facility inside and out, including 9 resident bedrooms. 9 out of 9 resident bedrooms inspected had functioning lights, a bed, cleaning bedding, a chair, a dresser and storage for resident personal belongings. While touring resident bedroom #111, LPAs attempted to open sliding glass door and observed a plastic tube obstructing the sliding door, preventing the door from opening (photos taken). ADM removed plastic tube obstructing sliding door during visit. LPA asked ADM why the plastic tube was obstructing the sliding door. ADM stated the tube was placed to prevent caregivers from going in and out through the door. LPA advised ADM that all resident passageways must be free of obstruction.
While touring Memory Care, LPAs tested delayed egress door #4 (next to resident rooms #124 and #125). LPAs pushed the door completely open, and the delayed egress did not sound the alarm. LPAs informed ADM that the door did not sound. A caregiver activated egress door with a key, and the delayed egress was activated. LPAs tested the door again and it activated the alarm. LPAs asked ADM why the delayed egress alarm was not activated. ADM stated she did not know why it was not activated, and that it's policy for the alarm to be on at all times.
