Upon arrival, LPA met with Executive Director (ED) Watkins, confirmed her identity, and explained the purpose of the visit. The facility is licensed for a capacity of 6 residents age 60 and above, of which all 6 may be non-ambulatory. The facility is also licensed for delayed egress and has a hospice waiver for the full capacity of 6 residents.

A review of staff and resident records was observed current and complete. The most recent disaster drill was held in February 2026, and liability insurance coverage was verified as active.

LPA accompanied by ED Watkins, conducted a facility tour that was observed to be clean, well maintained, and free from obstructions and trip hazards. Resident bedrooms contained the necessary furnishings and were observed in good condition. All doors, windows, bathrooms, and shower areas were functional and equipped with appropriate safety features. The home provided adequate space and equipment for dining, activities, laundry, and visitation.

Kitchen and dining equipment were available and in good working order. Sharps, toxic items, and medications were locked and inaccessible to residents. The hot water temperature at taps accessible to residents in care was in regulation and facility staff maintain a temperature check log.
