25 | On 10/03/2022 at 3:00pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility in order to conduct a required annual inspection mostly focusing on Infection Control procedures. LPA was greeted and granted entry by caregivers after undergoing the COVID-19 screening procedure and explaining the purpose of the visit. Administrator Jennifer Perez was notified by phone. Administrator couldn't assist with the visit as they had a previously scheduled appointment to attend. LPA agreed to go over the report with the administrator prior to having a facility representative sign it.
At approximately 3:30pm, LPA accompanied by caregivers toured the physical plant of the facility. There are currently four (4) residents in care, one of which is receiving hospice care. Residents are observed relaxing in their respective bedrooms. All appear clean and well taken care of. The three (3) shared bedrooms include all necessary components of furnishing. Bathrooms are equipped with grab bars and slip mats. Facility is clean, sanitary and free of odors in all areas inspected. An ample supply of linen is observed.
Sharp instruments are kept in a kitchen drawer equipped with a functioning magnetic lock. Cleaning supplies are located in a kitchen cabinet under the sink, also equipped with a functioning magnetic lock. Additional cleaning supplies and detergents are located in the attached garage, which is secured with a combination doorknob. The centrally stored medication is located in a locked closet near the dining room.
LPA observed a sufficient supply of food and water present. The facility has COVID-19 Precautions posters and all required department postings along with hand washing signs. The fire extinguisher present is charged. The maintenance tag attached to it shows a maintenance date of November 2020, which means that the maintenance is out of date by almost two years at the time of the visit. Staff present is adequately cleared and associated in Guardian.
