The inspector’s account

This unannounced Case Management – Deficiencies inspection is being conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Sean Haddad for the purpose of issuing citations for deficiencies observed during the investigation into Complaint Control No. 22-AS-20240724111701. LPA met with Staff #1 (S1) Man Park and Staff #2 (S2) James Lee and explained the reason for today’s inspection. Administrator (AD) Michelle Song was not present during the inspection. Licensee (LE) Erik Doan appeared via telephone.

During the course of the investigation, LPA inspected the facility, conducted health and safety checks on residents, and requested and reviewed copies of the resident roster, staff roster, and resident files. LPA observed that the two east outside gates from the memory care unit were not alarmed.

During today’s inspection, LPA, S1, and S2 inspected the memory care and tested all exit doors, reviewed the facility’s fire clearance and pre-licensing documents, and observed the following:

The facility’s memory care unit is located on the first floor.

The main delayed egress door is in the center of the memory care unit near the common area and dining room and leads to an elevator and stairs to access the second floor of the facility. Per the facility’s fire clearance and pre-licensing inspection, the main delayed egress door must unlock after pressure is applied for 15 seconds and trigger an alarm. LPA, S1, and S2 tested the main delayed egress door and observed that it failed to unlock after multiple attempts.
