Follow-up·January 15, 2026

At 10:57am on 01/15/2026, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jeffries arrived unannounced to the facility to follow up on an investigation visit from complaint (29-AS-20250501113652) on a separate report. Upon entering the facility LPA was let in by housekeeping staff and directed to the rear of the facility after requesting to speak to the facility Administrator Emily Gerr. LPA walked the hallway unaccompanied to the directed area where Administrators office is located. When LPA walked in the the common TV room LPA noted that the adjacent laundry room door was open and there were no staff. LPA called out "Hello" to call for staff without any response. LPA then determined that there were 8 residents unattended within feet of the open laundry room door. LPA look in the laundry room and noted that a resident (R1) standing in the laundry room to the side swaying near the wall out of sight from the door way. LPA asked R1 if they were ok and wanted to come out of the laundry room. LPA noted that R1 did not verbally respond and then leaned closed to the inside of the laundry room wall. LPA told R1 "its ok, Ill get a staff here." LPA noted a staff (S1) in the back side of the facility kitchen leaning on the counter looking at their cell phone. LPA commented to S1, "Can you please come get this unattended Resident out of the laundry room." S1 replied, "No, I can get a caregiver to come get (R1)". LPA waited by laundry room until two other staff (S3, and S4) attended to R1. LPA contacted Administrator by phone and requested Administrator to come to the facility as soon as possible. Administrator arrived approximately 10 minutes later. Administrator and LPA both observed a gallon jug of bleach and approximately 30 count of "tide-pods" in a box in an unsecured floor cabinet. LPA conducted an interview with S1 who stated, "S3 had gone to get a muffin, and that is why no one was present at the time your (LPA) saw S1." Based on observations and interviews a citation is issued for storage of items that could pose a danger to residents in care (87309(a) Exit interview, report signed and report provided.
