Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert made an unannounced Case Management Visit and conducted a resident health and safety check. LPA was greeted and granted entry at 8:15am by Staff #2. LPA spoke with Administrator (AD) Eli Cuyson via phone and explained the purpose of the visit.

Upon entry LPA observed one resident eating breakfast and another just finishing breakfast and reclining on the sofa. There were five residents in care and three staff members on site. LPA observed the facility temperature to be 70 degrees Fahrenheit and staff was preparing breakfast for the other residents. The exterior of the property was not maintained but has been cited. The Plan of Correction is due at the end of the month.

During the visit, LPA toured the kitchen and observed the freezers and pantries had seven days of non-perishable supplies and the refrigerator had two days of perishable food items. Staff was cooking breakfast and feeding residents. Utilities have remained on and appliances are in working order. LPA measured hot water temperatures in two of three resident bathrooms. The hot water temperatures ranged between 105.0 to 105.2 degrees Fahrenheit. LPA was informed the water heater has been replaced and observed a hot water temperature log in bathrooms.

LPA checked on the additional three residents. One was drinking their breakfast shake in their room, another resident was in the bathroom and the third resident was asleep in their bedroom. Residents were being cleaned and dressed for the day.

LPA interviewed two of five residents and three of three staff. Three of three staff members reported they are paid timely and are not owed any back pay. Staff are now paid on a weekly basis.
