Facility Evaluation Report

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Adam Hamer conducted a case management visit on today's to check on the welfare of the residents in care. LPA arrived at the facility, spoke with Caregiver Ma Guinto and was granted entry after identifying himself and disclosing the purpose of the visit. Ms. Guinto was not wearing a mask and no screening was done prior to or at any point thereafter during LPA's visit.

LPA conducted a tour of the facility, inside and out. During the tour, LPA observed one ambulatory resident in the living area adjacent to the kitchen (resident #1 - R1), another non-ambulatory resident in the living area (resident #2 - R2), and four (4) residents in their rooms with their doors open (R3, R4, R5 and R6)(see LIC 811 - Confidential Names List). In the kitchen area, LPA also observed that there were medications centrally stored in an open, unlocked cabinet near the refrigerator and in an unlocked drawer underneath the kitchen counter, accessible to R1 who was in the living room area. In the drawer, there were pills in two (2) unlabeled, open plastic containers and other resident medications.

Interviews with staff (S1) revealed that the medicine drawer and cabinet next to the refrigerator were kept open throughout the day and residents' pills are distributed to each resident from the open pill containers.

LPA entered a bathroom next to five of the residents' rooms and observed several containers of various cleaning supplies underneath the sink in the bathroom. The door to the bathroom was unlocked and open prior to LPA entering, and the cabinet was also unlocked and open.
