25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Patricia Velazquez conducted an unannounced visit to Paradise Residential Home. The purpose of today's visit was to conduct a Required 1 Year inspection. LPA Velazquez was allowed entry into the facility and met with Caregiver Piedad Vazquez. Caregiver Clara Lozada was also present. Noemi Figueroa arrived later to assist with the visit. The facility is licensed for 6 non-ambulatory residents. The facility also has a hospice waiver for 4 residents. There are currently 4 residents living in the facility. The last emergency disaster drill was conducted in November 2021.
At 12:53 PM LPA Velazquez conducted a tour of the physical plant along with Noemi Figueroa. The 2 story home consists of 4 resident bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, living room, den, dining area and kitchen on the first floor. The second floor contains 2 staff bedrooms with 1 staff bathroom. The 4 residents in the facility appeared well-groomed and well cared-for. The resident bedrooms had the required furnishings, bed linens, and closet/drawer space to accommodate each resident comfortably. LPA Velazquez observed a postural support bar on one of the resident beds and full bed rails on another resident bed as well as half bed rails on 2 other resident beds. Per Ms. Figueroa the resident with the full bed rails is not receiving hospice services and written physician's orders were not present in any files of the residents. Ms. Figueroa verified there no written physician's orders were present in the resident files. Resident bath towels and personal hygiene supplies were adequately stocked. The auditory alarms were in operating condition. Resident bathrooms were checked. Toilets and water faucets worked properly, grab bars were secure, showers were free of mold/mildew and a non-skid surface or mat was in place. LPA Velazquez tested the hot water temperature in the resident bathrooms and the temperature measured at 126.5 degrees in the left sink and at 121.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the right sink of the first bathroom and at 108.3 degrees Fahrenheit the second bathroom which Ms. Figueroa verified. |
