25 | At approximately 12:05 PM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Araceli Canela made an unannounced annual required 1 Year inspection of this licensed senior care facility. LPA met with facility manager, Theresa Ilagan aka TJ; Administrator, Rashmika "Rose" Mahawar was not available during the visit.
LPA toured the building and grounds, Facility is not using the left wing and LPA observed 2 beds in the wide hallway that will need to be removed. This facility has two wings and at this time the facility is only using the right wing as there are only 14 residents living in the facility. Upon arrival the residents were waiting to have lunch and LPA observed the dining area closed and several tables that had a plate of food covered and a drink for the residents to come in and eat. LPA observed and felt the top of the cover and the food appeared to be cold. LPA checked with several residents that were able to communicate with LPA and they all expressed the food was cold, but they can ask to be re heated. LPA went over food requirements with cook and TJ and explained the food should be warm and the solution is not to reheat it because the food is being left there for several minutes. LPA toured the kitchen and observed the refrigerators and freezer need a little cleaning. LPA also observed that the dishes appear to be getting washed by hand and the unit that they have to do a disinfecting cycle was observed to have the rack filthy with dark dirt/stain. LPA requested TJ to show LPA how it worked and after a few minutes when the machine finished, LPA observed that the machine does not operate with Hot water and the dishes came out cold. LPA requested facility to get machine fixed so that it is operational and provide proof.
All notices that are required to be posted have been posted and are in a highly visible area. LPA observed activity supplies for resident use. The amount of fresh and nonperishable foods is within regulation.
