The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert made an unannounced visit to the facility today to conduct an Annual Required Evaluation. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Staff #1. During the visit LPA met with Julie Cooper, Administrator (AD).

The facility is a five bedroom, three bathroom single story residential home with an approved fire clearance for five non ambulatory clients; of which five may be bedridden. The facility currently has a census of five clients in care.

During today's visit, LPA tested the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and both were operational. The last fire sprinkler inspection was on February 12, 2025. The fire extinguishers were charged and inspected on December 15, 2025 and the last fire drill was conducted on December 12, 2025. The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) was inspected on January 7, 2026.

LPA toured the kitchen and sharps and knives were secured in locked drawers and chemicals were secured under the sink. All appliances were in working order. LPA observed the refrigerator had two days perishable food supplies and seven days of non-perishable food on hand. The facility was clean with no odors. The garage contained emergency supplies and water and there is a generator on-site. LPA walked the exterior of the home where a five foot locked gate with an audio alarm secured the swimming pool. All pathways were clear of hazards and obstructions and a covered seating area is available for clients.

LPA observed medication storage and reviewed the centrally stored medications. Per review, medications are being given as prescribed. A First Aid Kit had the required elements and a First Aid Book was available.
