32 | LPA noted that the dining room, living room and all common areas had sufficient furniture, furnishings, and lighting at this time, to be in compliance. LPA/LPM observed all of the required signage: License, Administrator’s Certification, Personal Rights, Facility Sketch, Emergency Disaster Plan, and Emergency/Resource Numbers. LPA also observed posted menus and activity schedules for residents, no activities for the day scheduled until 2:00 PM. At 2:00 PM, LPA visited the Dining/Activity room and there was no BINGO game being facilitated.
The LPA inspected a sample of 18 resident bedrooms and found that more than half did not contain the required chest of drawers, night stand, chair, lighting and closet space to be in compliance. LPA/LPM also noted that 3 residents had oxygen in their rooms and did not have the required warning signage on their doors. This was brought to the Designated Facility Administrator’s attention, and she printed and posted the required signs prior to the completion of this inspection.
It was also noted by the LPA/LPM that the mattress observed in the resident rooms inspected were encased in clear shipping plastic instead of the required mattress covers. This was brought to the Designated Facility Administrator’s attention, and they immediately sent someone out to purchase enough mattress covers to accommodate each bed.
During the inspection, LPM pulled an emergency pull-cord on 2 separate occasions to check response time. The first time a caregiver responded to an Assisted Living room in 5 minutes and 57 seconds. The second time a caregiver responded to a Memory Care room in 2 minutes and 5 seconds.
The LPA observed that all of the bathrooms inspected all contained grab bars and non-skid surfaces in the showers. Paper towels, liquid hand soap dispensers and trash cans with lids were also present in each bathroom. The LPA measured the hot water temperature in the bathroom to the left of the main entrance. LPA noted that it measured 105 degrees Fahrenheit and was therefore in compliance. LPA inspected all of the cabinets to ensure that all toxic cleaning agents were inaccessible to residents in care.
While inspecting one of the shower rooms, LPA observed 6 shaving razors in one of the medicine cabinets on the Assisted Living Side. This was brought to the attention of the Designated Facility Administrator and they immediately disposed of them returning the room to compliance.
The linen closet was inspected next and the LPA found a sufficient amount of linens for the residents in care at this time.
