The Health and Safety check included overall observation of the facility inside, and outside, including food supply, medications, physical plant, and the residents in care. LPA observed the following safety concerns in the kitchen: The key to the knives drawer was hanging on a black string from the knives drawer near the pack lock giving the residents access to open the knives drawer. LPA observed sharp knives in the drawer. The key to the chemical cabinet was hanging on a black string on the cabinet near the pad lock giving the residents access to open the chemicals cabinet.

The key to the resident’s medications was hanging on a black string from the medication cabinet near the pad lock giving the residents access to the medications.

After the kitchen tour was complete, Staff S1 used a pair of scissors to cut the black strings with the keys off of the knives drawer, the chemicals cabinet, and the medication cabinet. Based on the observations made during today’s visit, three (3) deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 6, of the California Code of Regulations.
