Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vincent Moleski arrived unannounced in order to investigate complaints at this facility. LPA Moleski arrived and was met by two residents who opened the front door. LPA Moleski asked if staff were present at the facility, and the residents told LPA Moleski the staff member was across the street. The residents allowed LPA Moleski into the facility, where LPA Moleski observed there were no staff present. LPA Moleski called Linda Jack and explained the purpose of the visit. Jack said staff member Donnet Peart could sign this report in her absence. Peart returned to the facility around 9:40 a.m. The facility was unstaffed and without supervision for at least 40 minutes. Peart said she was working at a room and board across the street. While the facility was unsupervised, LPA Moleski observed a cabinet containing cleaning solutions under the kitchen sink left unlocked. LPA Moleski also observed a broken glass light fixture, with exposed sharp glass, hanging over a counter within arms reach. Peart said the fixture had been broken for several months. This facility is being cited per 22 CCR Sections 87411(a), 87309(a), and 87303(a). An exit interview was held with Jack. Appeal rights and a copy of this report was left with Peart.
