25 | On 08/26/2024, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jill Nakagawa arrived unannounced for the purpose of conducting a case management inspection.
LPA was greeted by Juliet McGranahan, Administrator. LPA and Administrator toured the facility and made observations during the inspection. The facility was found to be clean and a comfortable temperature, however LPA found the facility did not have safeguards in place to protect the residents from hazards kept in the kitchen.
CCL received an incident report on 8/1/2024 stating that resident R1 accidentally ingested dish soap after accessing the kitchen while caregiver was busy with another resident. R1’s Physician’s Report states that R1 is at risk of allowed direct access to personal grooming and hygiene products and R1 is in a Dementia Care Unit where soaps should be safely secured. Per Title 22 regulation 87705 Care of Persons with Dementia (f) The following shall be stored inaccessible to residents with dementia: (2) Over-the-counter medication, nutritional supplements or vitamins, alcohol, cigarettes, and toxic substances such as certain plants, gardening supplies, cleaning supplies and disinfectants. The facility did not store toxic substances so that they were inaccessible to R1. Deficiency cited (see 809-D) per Title 22 Regulations, Division 6. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. Exit interview conducted and appeal of rights provided.
