Pre-licensing visit·December 9, 2022

On 12/9/2022 LPA Tryon visited the facility to conduct a pre-licensing visit using the Pre-licensing CARES Tool. LPA met with Executive Director Antonette Edwards. LPA, ED and Gabriel Morton, Maintenance Director toured the facility including common areas, apartments, assisted living and memory care, kitchen, dining areas, hallways, Medication Rooms, storage, laundry, recreation areas, etc. LPA viewed posted rights, complaint contact poster, files and paperwork, etc. We viewed enclosed courtyards/outside areas, shutoff areas, electrical panels. At this time, LPA is waiving the Orientation Component III requirement, as the Administrator has been working in facilities for an extended period of time; and the new licensee has other facilities that it has owned. Therefore, Component III is not necessary. The facility appears to be in compliance with regulations, very clean, nicely furnished and everything in good condition. Prior to inspection, LPA noted that the new fire clearance does not mention delayed egress; and there are delayed egress doors and outside gates in the facility. This issue was discussed with the worker in Central Applications Bureau, who will follow up with whatever is needed on the fire clearance. No deficiencies noted at this visit. Exit interview conducted. Findings will be forwarded to the Central Application Bureau.
