The inspector’s account

Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Manuel Monter conducted an unannounced annual inspection visit, and met with Staff S1, Corazon Grimares. During the visit, LPA observed 0 residents and 1 staff. LPA explained the purpose of the visit. LPA contacted ADM via phone call. ADM stated she was unavailable due to a scheduled event and staff S1 would sign on her behalf.

LPA toured the facility inside out with S1 which included the Living room, kitchen, dining room, 2 restrooms and 3 residents bedrooms. The staff area of the facility was also inspected. The front yard and backyard were inspected.

While touring the backyard of the facility, LPA observed the wooden fence door, next to the patio directly adjacent to the dinning room. LPA observed a screw being used to stop the door from opening and closing due to the wind. ADM stated she will buy a new latch for the gate, and send LPA photo documentation showing the new latch has been installed. LPA explained to ADM that side of facility, adjacent to the dinning room is an emergency exit pathway, that must be accessible and not obstructed for the health and safety of the residents. ADM agreed and understood.

Two-day perishable food supplies and seven day nonperishable food supplies were observed. LPA observed the medication storage area, knives storage area, and cleaning product storage area as locked and inaccessible to residents in care. Room temperature was at 73 degrees F, and hot water temperature was measured at 116 degrees F in the hallway bathroom. .
