The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert made an unannounced visit to conduct a Case Management Health and Safety Check. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Staff #1 (S1) at 8am.

LPA spoke with Administrator (AD) Eli Cuyson, via phone, and explained the purpose of the visit. LPA requested utility bills and liability insurance documentation from AD. AD stated he will email LPA with documentation, which is in a central location, once provided. AD was unable to meet LPA at the facility. LPA did not receive a current liability of insurance document by the end of the visit.

During the visit, LPA observed the facility was clean and there were no odors. Electricity, water, trash, gas, cable/internet and phones were in working order. Both Staff #1 and Staff #2 reside in the facility and confirmed utilities have not been shut off. LPA inspected the kitchen and noted there was a minimum of two-days of perishable food and seven-days of non-perishable food on site. Groceries are delivered weekly and LPA observed the pantry was stocked. LPA observed staff feeding residents breakfast.

LPA conducted a health and safety check on the three residents in care. Two of three residents interviewed stated they are happy with the care provided and that there is plenty of food. Two of the three residents have not observed any utility shut-offs and they do not have any issues. One of three residents was unable to respond to interview questions.

LPA interviewed two of two staff members who confirmed they have not been paid for an entire month (two pay periods) but that they are being patient and giving the licensees time. Two of two staff stated they are good employers. (Continued on LIC 809-C)
