25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sandra Urena arrived at the facility unannounced to conduct a required annual visit. At 10:05 a.m. LPA Urena arrived at the facility and rang the doorbell several times and waited for a staff to answer the door; however, there was no response. At 10:37 a.m., the LPA called the Administrator, Armenui Simityan and informed them the reason for the visit, and asked about the facility staff not responding to the doorbell. The Administrator stated that they do not have any staff or residents at the current time. Facility had two residents living at the facility about two and a half months ago. One of the two residents, went back home, and the second resident relocated to a facility to be closer to their primary physician, consequently the facility is empty at the time of today’s annual inspection visit. Furthermore, the Administrator stated that they took the opportunity to do some cosmetic remodeling, such as painting inside and out, and adding new furniture to the facility. Administrator stated that they were not sure if they needed to inform the Community Care Licensing Department (CCLD) of the remodeling to the facility. LPA Urena reminded the Administrator that any changes, upgrades, or construction should be notified to the Regional Office (RO), via email, prior to starting any work that may affect the residents in care.
The LPA informed the Administrator that they needed to conduct the annual inspection. The Administrator stated that they were about an hour away from the facility. The LPA stated that they would wait for the Administrator to arrive.
At 12:15 p.m., the LPA, along with the Administrator, toured the physical plant areas inside and outside to ensure there are no health and safety hazards and that the facility is in compliance with Title 22 Regulations.
COMMON AREAS: The LPA observed common areas to be relatively clean and properly furnished. The LPA observed the fire extinguisher to be fully charged and last serviced on 08/25/2024. The fire alarms/carbon monoxide detectors were tested and functioned properly. All exits have functioning auditory devices and were operational at the time of the visit. Facility telephone was observed during the time of the visit. Medications and first aid kits are located in a locked storage closet in the office area.
