Routine inspection·December 20, 2024

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vincent Moleski arrived unannounced to conduct an annual inspection. LPA Moleski met with facility administrator Vicky Jiao and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA Moleski reviewed six resident files (R1-R6) and three staff files (S1-S3). LPA Moleski observed that R6 is bedridden, according to their most recent LIC 602, dated 3/9/24. R4's most recent LIC 602, dated 12/13/24, indicates that they are non-ambulatory. A prior LIC 602 dated 11/25/24 indicated that R4 was bedridden. Jiao said that R4 currently needs to be turned and repositioned in bed to prevent bed sores. Health and Safety Code Section 1569.72(b)(1) defines a bedridden resident as one "requiring assistance in turning and repositioning in bed." This facility is cleared for six non-ambulatory residents, and is not cleared to accept or care for any bedridden residents. LPA Moleski toured the facility with Jiao and inspected common areas, the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and backyard areas. Furniture and furnishings were sufficient to meet the needs of residents. The facility temperature was 73 degrees Fahrenheit, which is within the required range of 68 and 85 degrees. The facility's water temperature measured 115 degrees Fahrenheit, which is within the required range of 105 and 120 degrees. LPA Moleski observed first aid supplies, a fully-charged and up-to-date fire extinguisher, and carbon monoxide/smoke detectors. LPA Moleski observed a minimum 2-day supply of perishable food and a minimum 7-day supply of nonperishable food. LPA Moleski observed a locked closet for the storage of medication. LPA Moleski observed locked cabinets for the storage of cleaning solutions and knives. LPA Moleski interviewed one staff member (S2) and one resident (R5). This facility is hereby cited per 22 CCR Section 87202(a)(2). An immediate civil penalty in the amount of $500 is hereby assessed due to a fire clearance violation. An exit interview was held with Jiao. Appeal rights and a copy of this report were left with Jiao.
