R4 reported their impression of the housekeeping was, “fine”, while R2 reported that, “I think they are doing a good job”.
Interview with the Maintenance Director revealed that housekeepers are not allowed to pick up resident personal items to dust under, out of liability concerns for breaking resident personal items and that when they find a housekeeping skipping steps in their duties, they will write them up with an action plan.
Record review revealed that on 09/06/2024 and 07/30/2025 two separate “Employee Counseling Forms” were filled out by management for housekeepers deemed to be not fully performing their duties.
In addition, the Maintenance Director revealed that there is a process in place for residents to ask and attain special cleaning projects, like having their carpet steam cleaned or having carpet replaced.
An interview with a visiting RN that has made frequent visits to Paramount “over the years”, as well as other facilities in the Fairfield area revealed they thought “the cleanliness is above average and that staff are also very quick to respond to spills or odors.”
While LPA did obtain evidence of dusty window frames, dressers and television tables, none rose to the level of a requiring a citation at this time.
Because of conflicting information and interviews, the allegation that facility staff are not maintaining the facility in a clean condition is Unsubstantiated. A finding that the complaint is Unsubstantiated means that although the allegations may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations did or did not occur.
