25 | On 07/20/2023, an unannounced case management visit was conducted by Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Kimberly Viarella and Kevin Gould to this facility. LPAs identified themselves and explained the purpose for their visit and asked to speak with the designated facility administrator. They were met by Caretaker/Designee, Beatrice Burkett. LPAs instructed the Designee to inform the Licensee of their arrival to the facility. A brief interview followed.
During a complaint visit on 06/22/2023, LPAs inspected all medication logs. LPAs noted that when a PRN medication was given, it was written in a notebook, however the reason for providing the medication and its effectiveness were not documented. This posed a potential health and safety risk to residents in care. LPAs reviewed the proper documentation procedures. LPAs also reviewed medication lists for residents, however they were not updated. LPAs observed new medication orders were taped on the refrigerator, which was also a violation of the residents’ right to confidentiality.
On 06/22/2023 when LPA Kimberly Viarella arrived to conduct a complaint investigation, there was no qualified Designated Facility Administrator present, as of today’s date there is no Administrator of record. According to the Non-Compliance Conference that was held on 05/16/2023, the Licensee was instructed to have a Designated Facility Administrator on the premises 40 hours a week.
During today's visit, LPAs noted that two employees had not received their background clearances. Civil Penalties were issued.
During the visit conducted on 06/22/23, the staff member that met with Licensing that day was also unable to produce an LIC 500 upon request. LPA left selected copies of the Medication Guidelines to assist licensee with compliance.
