Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of continuing investigation of a complaint (#18-AS-20200316140401). While at the facility, LPA Colvin observed the following items that were not in compliance with Title 22 Regulations: Licensing Fees - During LPA Colvin's preparation for today's inspection, LPA Colvin observed that the Licensee is behind on their annual fees, and has not made a payment towards their fees since 1/31/20. As of today's inspection, the Licensee owes California Department of Social Services (CDSS) $1,236.50 . This is a combination of annual licensing fees and late penalties, which have been accruing since 2019. Deficiency cited . Obstructed Walkway - Upon LPA Colvin's arrival, LPA Colvin observed that the walkway leading from the driveway to the front door of the facility was partially blocked by a pile of dirt and a traffic/hazard cone. This obstruction covered more than 50% of the width of the walkway. The facility is licensed for non-ambulatory residents, which further implores the need for clear walkways at all times. Deficiency cited. Reporting Requirements - During LPA Colvin's investigation today, LPA Colvin observed records from an Emergency Room for one resident (R1) from March 2021 in relation to a fall. LPA Colvin's review of the facility's submitted incident reports shows that no reports were submitted since 2019. Administrator Danny was able to produce reports for this incident and others, though it does not appear that they were sent to Licensing. Based on LPA Colvin's observations, the facility was cited. LPA Colvin provided a copy of this report, LIC809Ds, and appeal rights to Administrator Danny Barrett.
