Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Vincent Moleski arrived unannounced to conduct a case management visit. LPA Moleski met with facility administrator Romaine Felix and explained the purpose of the visit.

LPA Moleski conducted an annual inspection of this facility on 12/10/24. During this visit, LPA Moleski observed a resident (R1) in a wheelchair with a seatbelt buckled across their waist. LPA Moleski asked R1 to unbuckle the belt. R1 was able to unbuckle the belt within a few seconds. LPA Moleski spoke with facility administrator Renato Rivera during that visit and explained that R1 would need a physician's order on file for the use of such a postural support. Rivera said that R1 did have a doctor's order, but he would need to locate it. LPA Moleski asked for Rivera to email him a copy when he found it. Rivera emailed LPA Moleski on 12/11/24, but did not provide any doctor's order. On 12/12/24, LPA Moleski reminded Rivera via email that he needed R1's doctor's order for the postural support. To this date, 12/19/24, LPA Moleski has not received any such doctor's order for the use of a wheelchair belt.

Additionally, during that same annual inspection on 12/10/24, LPA Moleski observed that a staff member (S1) had a first aid/CPR certificate which expired on 1/7/24. Rivera told LPA Moleski that S1 had an updated first aid/CPR certificate. LPA Moleski asked Rivera to email LPA Moleski the certificate. Rivera emailed LPA Molesk a first aid/CPR certificate for S1 on 12/11/24, which listed a completion date of 12/11/24.

This facility is being cited per 22 CCR Sections 80072(a)(8)(B) and 80075(f) An exit interview was held with Felix. Appeal rights and a copy of this report was left with Felix.
