25 | Licensing Program Analyst Willis arrived unannounced to conduct an Annual Required Inspection and met with Licensee, Vilma Richardson. Upon arrival, staff took LPA's temperature.
LPA initiated a tour of the facility at 9:45 AM and made the following observations: Facility has Covid-19 posters throughout the facility including hand washing signs in bathrooms. Facility was a comfortable temperature and passageways were free from obstructions. Resident rooms were furnished per regulation. Water temperature in resident bathrooms measured at 110, 116 and 118 degrees F which are within allowable range of 105 to 120 degrees F. Extra hygiene products and linens were available. Bathrooms had required bath mats and grab bars. Facility has at least two days of perishable and one week of non-perishable foods. LPA observed that items being stored in the freezer were stored in containers not meant for the freezer. One item had a lid that was not secure and the food in the container was freezer burned. Lettuce in the refrigerator was brown and carrots were limp. Additionally, liquid had pooled in the bottom of the refrigerator and the freezer. Medications were centrally stored and locked. The deck at the rear of the building has boards that are cracked and not secure. This issue was previously cited and some boards have been secured but not all. Rodent droppings were on the deck and on chairs located on the deck. Interviews indicated that the facility maintains a bird feeder and the rodents have been seen eating from it. LPA suggested that the bird feeder is emptied at night. LPA did not observe rodent droppings inside of the facility. The laundry room was unlocked so laundry detergent, disinfectant and bleach was accessible to residents in care.
Facility has hardwired Smoke Detectors that LPA was unable to test. Facility had at least a 30 day supply of Personal Protective Equipment.
LPA reviewed staff and resident files and addressed the current issue with the Licensee's LLC which has been suspended. Based on conversations with Licensee and review of the Secretary of State website, Licensee has submitted documents but their LLC remains suspended.
LPA was unable to complete inspection and will return at a later date to complete.
A Civil Penalty in the amount of $250 was assessed for repeating the same deficiency in a 12 month period.
Deficiencies cited from the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6 of California Regulation. Appeal rights given. Failure to correct the deficiency and/or repeat deficiencies within a 12 month period may result in civil penalties. |
