Follow-up·January 17, 2023

Licensing Program Analyst, Amber Coleman (LPA) arrived at the Aloha Senior Living Facility for an announced Case Management visit to follow up regarding the pool gate and its security. LPA introduced self and stated the purpose of the visit. Administrator Carol Hamilton greeted LPA and granted entry into facility. LPA was provided a space to work and set up. Jennifer Nelson, prospective Co-Administrator was also present during visit. Administrator showed to the backyard area for inspection of the pool and changes made to make the gate more secure as requested. LPA observed that the mesh gate had been removed altogether and replaced with a chain link fence. The fence was measured at 5ft in height. Administrator explained that the company who installed this gate describes this gate as a "pool code" gate meaning that the gate itself deters people from climbing it by making the chain links smaller. The gate is made secure by latches on the door and placement for a lock. LPA expressed concern with the space between the top of the gate and the oning. LPA advised Administrator to remove all standing furniture away from the fence as to discourage climbing of the gate. LPA also advised that more consideration will be needed to confirm the gate is secure enough and that changes made are sufficient. LPA took photos of the new gate for consultation and to be discussed with Licensing Program Manager. LPA and Administrator further discussed licensing process and coordinated follow up, then concluded the visit.
