Facility-requested visit·August 31, 2022

On 8/31/22 at 1:40 pm, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chavez conducted an unannounced Case Management visit to follow-up on a change in the facility’s physical plant. LPA met with Diana Barnhill, Licensee/Administrator, and explained the purpose of the visit. On 8/6/22, LPA visited the facility for an annual inspection. LPA observed that the facility had a change in layout. LPA observed, and Licensee corroborated, that the formal dining room was being changed into a resident bedroom. The south end doorway of the room had been closed off and a door placed on the north end of the room. On 8/31/22 at 1:42 pm, LPA toured the room and observed that the room has been converted from a formal dining room to a resident bedroom. Currently, the room does not have a closet, dresser, bed, nor chair. LPA informed Licensee that a resident is approved to move in once these items are placed in the bedroom. Prior to move in, Licensee will take a photo(s) of these items in the room and send to LPA. Licensee says the resident is bringing their own chair. LPA observed that the facility has a dining table with seating for six (6) near the aquarium. LPA observed that the room has a smoke detector which is hard wired with the other detectors in the home. On 8/30/22, Licensee faxed to CCL the Fire Safety Inspection Request (STD 850) showing a fire clearance and a copy of the facility’s updated facility sketch. There is no capacity change. At 2:44 pm, LPA spoke with Battalion Fire Chief Dave Van Son. Chief Van Son confirmed that the converted room has a fire clearance and stated that the room did not need a permit. Exit interview conducted and the report emailed to the Licensee.
