On 8/4/22 at 12:45pm Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Gould arrived at Sonia's Guest Home 3 for the purpose of conducting a required 1 year annual inspection. LPA met with staff, Nora Gale and together conducted a tour of the home. LPA and staff evaluated the physical plant to ensure the health and safety of the residents in care. Areas inspected are including but not limited to the kitchen, resident bedrooms; resident bathrooms, living and dining room and outdoor areas. LPA observed the facility to be free of odor, clean and in good repair. LPA observed that the living room did not have an appropriate light source in the room. The living room lacked overhead lighting and only had a small desk lamp to illuminate the room which would not adequately light the room for resident and staff safety. LPA measured the water temperature, temperature measured at 135 degrees F which does not meet the 105-120 degree Fahrenheit regulation.
