LIcensing Program Analyst (LPA)Jill Nakagawa arrived unannounced to conduct an inspection at Atria Covell Gardens on 8/26/22 at approximately 9:40 AM for the purpose of checking on the new MAR system and Memory Care. The facility was clean and orderly. The entrance had adequate signage requesting masks in the facility by staff and visitors. The front desk concierge conducted a Covid-19 assessment prior to the LPA being granted entry into the facility. There was a questionnaire, temperature taken, and hand sanitizer at the ready. LPA was met by Resident Services Director, Jake Bruno (JB), who showed LPA around the facility. A tour of the facility showed that the facility is in good repair, with Independent Living amenities all on line, including the laundry room, arts and crafts, outside areas for walking and visiting, and the Computer lab, as well as other amenities. The Memory Care Unit was actively engaging residents with a large group participating in a game with an Activities Director. The residents were dressed appropriately and well-groomed. The next stop of the inspection was to see how the new Electronic MAR System was going. JB said the Med. Techs were doing well with the new system and training had been ongoing for several months. LPA got a chance to view how the system worked and it should help in proper medication management, providing times, photos and other information to ensure the right med is going to the right patient at the right time. Staff and residents were all interactive and engaging with one another. There were no deficiencies found at the time of inspection. No citations were issued.
