Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) LaVette Farlow arrived at the facility unannounced to Nick's Maple Home II, to collect signatures for an amended complaint number 56-AS-20231108143629. LPA arrived to the facility and was granted entry by resident one (R1). LPA set up a workstation at the desk in the kitchen. LPA observed (R1) going outside to make a phone call. LPA inquired which staff was present in the facility and LPA was informed that staff left and would return shortly. LPA observed the facility did not have any staff present. R1 handed LPA Farlow the phone and LPA spoke with staff and was informed that someone would be here momentarily.

During today's visit, LPA conducted observations, and interviewed to find that residents in care did not have proper supervision and R1 was left with the facility keys, which poses an immediate health and safety risk.

Based on LPA's observation this pose an immediate and potential health and safety risk to clients in care. A deficiency was cited. An exit interview was conducted where this report, LIC809, and LIC809D and appeal rights were discussed with and provided to Administrator Yusef Nofal.
