Routine inspection·December 27, 2023

On 12/27/2023, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Murial Han conducted an unannounced annual inspection. LPA met with the administrator and explained the purpose of today's visit. Administrator provided a tour of the common area with a large dining room, activity rooms, kitchen, medical clinic, beauty salon, fitness room and kitchen. Facility directors provide a tour of the memory care unit that consists of private and shared one and two bedroom apartments, dining room, activity rooms, etc. The memory care unit is located on the 3rd floor and during tour, LPA observed the delayed egress doors by the two stairwells are working properly and the entrance to the unit is secured with a wanderguard system door. The memory care residents wear a wanderguard device/pendent that emit an audible alert when they are in close proximity of the door to prevent residents from wandering off the unit. During testing of the wanderguard door, resident #1 (R1)'s wanderguard device/pendent did not emit an audible and according to staff, the battery for the device needed to be changed. Medications are locked in the medication room and inaccessible to residents in care. Lighting is sufficient for comfort. Chemicals, toxins, and sharps objects in the memory care kitchen/dinning room were observed to be unlocked and accessible to residents. During tour of the kitchen, LPA observed 2 days of perishables and 7 days of nonperishable foods for the residents. LPA observed expired food items in the walk-in refrigerator. Facility is equipped with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Fire extinguisher was last serviced on 7/13/2023. Hot water temperature is measured at 105- 111 degrees F. LPA is not able to complete the entire inspection today and will return on another day to complete the inspection.
