On 09/23/22, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Perry Scott made and unannounced visit to Precise Care, for the required annual inspection, with a primary focus on Infection Control measures using the new CARE Inspection Tool. On today’s visit LPA met with the Director Charlotte Heim, and the purpose of the visit was explained. Upon entry, my temperature was taken, and I was presented with a visitor’s log to sign in. Ms. Heim was wearing a mask. The facilities annual fees are not current. There is an outstanding balance of $681.00 due.

The home has a capacity to serve six (6) and is approved to serve developmentally disabled adults 19 to 59 years old, ambulatory only. Currently the facility has two (2) ambulatory clients, of which none have a restricted health care condition. As part of the inspection, my primary focus was on infection control.

Sufficient paper, cleaning, and disinfecting supplies were observed. The facility has the mandated COVID infection control posters.
