Inspector’s narrative

What the inspector wrote

Licensing Program Analyst(LPA) Cuadra is conducting a case management visit and met with staff Robertson Cirineo. Licensee Josephine Credo was not able to come to the facility, but gave authorization to staff to sign the report. During today's complaint visit, LPA/staff learned through observation that exit door located in resident's room#8 was blocked with a recliner. Staff immediately removed recliner obstructing the exit from the passageway. Also, LPA/staff observed that temperature in the back building where resident's rooms #8-12 are located in the back of the building was not comfortable. LPA learned through interviews with staff that the facility is kept warm as needed by using portable heaters in each resident's room, because the main heater for the back of the building is not working properly. LPA/staff observed that each resident room (room#8-12) have a small working portable heater that was on distributing heat all around the room. The deficiencies cited are unrelated to the complaint investigation. Exit interview conducted with staff and a copy of this report was given.
