Facility Evaluation Report
Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Rose Ruppert made an unannounced visit to conduct a Case Management visit and to amend a report from June 18, 2026. LPA was greeted and granted entry by Administrator (AD) at 8am and explained the purpose of the visit.
The facility is a seven bedroom, four bathroom residential home in which one bedroom and one bathroom is used for live-in staff. The facility is approved for six non-ambulatory residents in which one may be bedridden in bedroom #3. Currently there are three residents in care and none of the residents are on hospice.
At time of entry LPA observed the facility temperature was 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Two of three residents were observed having breakfast at the dining table. A third resident was in their bedroom and had just finished breakfast. LPA toured the kitchen and observed the refrigerator had two days of perishable items and there were seven days of non perishable items available. Utilities have remained on and operational.
During the tour LPA observed the house was clean and resident bedrooms had the required furnishings. The hot water temperatures ranged from 112.4 to 118.9 degrees Fahrenheit in three of four bathrooms. LPA advised Administrator to update resident Admissions Agreements and paperwork to reflect that they reside at the Hills of Gowdy. Residents have moved to this location from another property and are in the process of updating Medical Assessments to reflect the location change.
LPA interviewed three of three residents and observed all were dressed and ready for the day. LPA interviewed two of two staff. Staff were fully paid on July 7, 2026 but continue to be owed back pay.
