Follow-up on corrections·August 24, 2021

On 8/24/21 at 11:28 am, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Chavez visited the facility to follow-up on a Plan of Correction issued on 8/20/21. LPA met with Leticia Ruiz, Office Manager, and explained the reason for the visit. Ms. Ruiz confirmed that the facility currently has 13 residents and there were concerns with transferring the 13th resident out of the facility due to health issues. LPA reminded office manager that it was not required that the 13th resident is transferred, but rather one resident is moved out to be in compliance with the facility's licensed 12 residents. LPA left the facility at 11:37 am and returned again at 1:17 pm. LPA met with Emma Maxwell, Caregiver, and explained the reason for the visit. Emma phoned the administrator Diana Barnhill who stated she was not available to visit the facility and asked Emma to handle the visit and sign the report(s). The facility has 13 residents, and therefore, is still not in compliance and being cited for deficiency. Civil penalties are being issued.
