Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jesse Gardner arrived unannounced to conduct a health and safety visit. Upon arrival, LPA met with Administrator Michael Curry and was granted entry. LPA then conducted a tour of the facility accompanied by Mr. Curry. LPA found that the 2 clients who live in the facility, are currently at their day programs.

LPA conducted a tour of the exterior and interior of the facility. LPA found an unlocked door leading to the garage with chemicals, which was not able to be locked due to a bungee cord keeping the door open. LPA then found an unlocked door under the sink which had knives, as well an an unlocked medication cabinet. LPA also found that the refrigerator was held together by a locking mechanism. LPA inquired about the lock, and Administrator Curry stated that Client #1 (C1) has recently been getting up at night and taking food out of the refrigerator. Technical Violations were issued for the aforementioned discrepancies. No other immediate health and safety risks to residents in care were observed.

On 8/15/23, according to the Administrator, Client #2 (C2) was eating dinner, and had began taking a long time to eat, approximately 3 hours, moving slowly.
