Facility Evaluation Report

On this day, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kevin Saborit-Guasch made an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct the required annual inspection. LPA was greeted and granted entry by facility caregiving staff after introducing himself and stating the purpose of the visit. Administrator Celfa Aronne was notified of the visit via telephone and arrived later to assist.

There are currently three residents in care, two of which are receiving hospice care at this time. LPA observed residents relaxing in their respective bedrooms or in the facility's common living areas. LPA accompanied by facility staff toured the physical plant. The facility is a one-story house with an attached garage, with four private bedrooms, one shared bedroom and an additional staff room. There are are two shared bathrooms on the premises.

Bedrooms appear clean and sanitary. Both hospice residents are observed to have beds equipped with full-length bed rails. Hospice plans of care reviewed for both, however one hospice file does not include the order for postural support. Consultation provided. All resident bedrooms have the required furnishings. Bathrooms appear clean and sanitary and are equipped with grab bars and slip mats. Hot water temperature measured within acceptable limits by facility staff regularly.

LPA observed the kitchen has a minimum two (2) day perishable and seven (7) day non-perishable food supply. Sharp items, cleaning supplies and the medication central storage are verified to be secure.
