Routine inspection·June 10, 2024

On 06/10/24, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kimberly Viarella made an unannounced visit to this facility to conduct an annual inspection. LPA identified herself upon arrival, stated the purpose of the visit and asked to meet with the Designated Facility Administrator (DFA). LPA met with DFA / Executive Director, Neal Torres, and a brief interview followed. The tour began in the kitchen. LPA inspected pantry as well as the chest freezer adjacent to the prep area and then walk-in refrigerator and freezer. LPA pulled a sample of items from each and found none to be expired. LPA observed opened packages of chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were not properly repackaged or dated in the chest freezer. LPA observed 3 opened lidless containers of ice cream and an undated, unboxed, leftover cake. LPA took pictures for reference. LPA observed that there were no food items stored on the floor, prep stations were clear of debris and organized. LPA observed food supplies of staple nonperishable foods for a minimum of one week and fresh perishable foods for a minimum of two days. The fire extinguisher was last inspected on 08/14/23 by Fire Code Safety Equipment. The hood was last inspected on 10/20/23 by Braun and Son's. The tour continued into Memory Care. LPA inspected the 2 kitchenettes in this area. LPA opened all drawers and cabinets to ensure that there were no sharp objects or toxic chemicals present. LPA also inspected the refrigerator and found food items in plastic containers that were not labeled or dated. LPA also observed a large container of peanut butter that had an order date, but no expiration date or date when the container was first opened. LPA visited a sample of resident rooms in Assisted Living, Memory Care and Pre-Memory Care. All rooms had the required furniture, furnishings and lighting to be in compliance at the present time. All resident bathrooms in assisted living had grab bars, non-slip surfaces in the showers and trash cans. Bathrooms in memory care had locked cabinets for toiletries or other restricted items. LPA measured hot water to ensure it was between 105 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot water measured 113.1 and was in compliance at the time. LPA began file reviews but due to time constraints, this LPA will have to return at a later date to complete this annual inspection.
