Routine inspection·December 6, 2024

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rebecca Ruiz conducted an unannounced Required 1-Year visit. The facility file was reviewed prior to the visit. LPA was greeted by, identified herself to, and explained the purpose of the visit with Caregiver Edessa Dietsch. LPA spoke with Caregiver Victoria Dao via telephone during the visit. Licensee Lucita Totanes arrived during the visit. During today's visit, LPA toured the facility, reviewed facility records, and observed resident in care. During the facility tour, LPA observed a resident's medications were stored in a weekly pill box and medication cup and not in their original container. Additionally, the pill box and cup were stored in an unlocked cabinet drawer in a common room of the facility. LPA observed Caregiver Dietsch relocate the pill box and cup into the locked medication cabinet during the visit. Due to time constraints, the annual inspection could not be completed and a return visit on a subsequent day is needed. The following deficiencies were cited for medications not stored in their original container and unsecured medications and noted on the attached LIC809-D page. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee Lucita Totanes, whose signature below confirms receipt of a copy of this report and the Licensee Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22).
