25 | 07/29/2024 10:00 AM Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Knight
arrived at the facility unannounced to conduct a Required-1 Year inspection. LPA met with administrator Esperanza Chavez and explained the purpose of the visit.
LPA Knight and the administrator toured the facility together to ensure the health and safety of clients who attend program. Areas toured include but are not limited to common areas in two buildings, bathrooms, kitchen, storage areas and patio area. Staff and resident files were reviewed. All employees requiring background checks are cleared.
The facility was observed to be at a comfortable temperature in the office, meeting room, kitchen and the right side of the common area / activity room. LPA observed that the central air conditioning unit was not functioning on the left side of the common area / activity room. LPA observed a portable air conditioning unit and fans on the left side of the common area which is inadequate to cool that large a space. On the day of the inspection the room was relatively cool but the outside air temperature was 79 degrees which is significantly cooler than it has recently been. Administrator confirmed that they have obtained an estimate from a company to replace the unit. No date of replacement has been confirmed this date. When temperatures rise staff have been moving the clients to the conference room and activity room that is located in the administrative building.
Common areas were clean and in good repair. Bathrooms were clean and in good repair. Kitchen was clean and in good repair. Fire extinguishers fully charged and were inspected in June 2024. Last disaster drill was conducted in July 29, 2024 which was an earthquake drill, the facility has been conducting fire drills monthly.
A deficiency is being cited as a result of today’s inspection and is documented on the attached LIC9099-D. A copy of the report and appeal rights were provided. |
