(Continuation of LIC9099) On February 11, 2025, LPA toured the facility and requested to observe their medication cabinet. Upon the review of their medications, LPA observed that the facility dispensed their medications for the entire week in their respective pill box. Upon staff interviews, both staff #1 (S1) and staff #2 (S2) confirmed that they use the pillboxes to dispense medications. According to S1, they were directed to continue to place the medications in the pill box by their administrator on January 30, 2025. Based on the information obtained, there is sufficient evidence to meet the preponderance of evidence standard. It was said that the hot water temperatures are too high. During the tour of the facility, LPA was able to measure the hot water temperatures of the three bathrooms and the kitchen. The hot water temperatures read as follows: bathroom #1 measured hot water temperature at 120.7 degrees Fahrenheit; bathroom #2 measured hot water temperature at 119.7 degrees Fahrenheit; bathroom #3 measured hot water temperature at 121.3 degrees Fahrenheit; and kitchen sink measured hot water at 121.3 degrees Fahrenheit. The kitchen sink did have a sign on the faucet that read “water very hot.” Based on the evidence obtained, there is sufficient evidence to meet the preponderance of evidence standard. Based on the Department’s investigation of the above-mentioned allegations and the evidence obtained during staff and resident interviews, and LPA observations, there is sufficient evidence to meet the preponderance of evidence standard. Therefore, the above allegations are deemed to be substantiated. California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 8, is being cited on the attached LIC9099-D page of this report. The report was discussed, plan of correction was jointly developed, and an exit interview was conducted with licensee Shawn Chapari and administrator Cindy Chapari. A copy of this report along with Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 3/22) were provided to Licensee Chapari at the conclusion of the visit. The signature below confirms the receipt of these documents.
