Facility Evaluation Report

LPA Canela arrived at Magnolia Gold Home Care for the purpose of addressing deficiencies discovered during a complaint investigation. LPA met with Madonna Martinez, Administrator.

During the investigation it was determined that Resident (R1) resided in bedroom which is not approved for bedridden residents. R1's physician report (LIC 602) indicates R1's ambulatory status is bedridden. Magnolia Gold Home Care is approved by the Fairfield Fire Department for 1 bedridden resident in master bedroom only. R1 with an bedridden ambulatory status staying in an non-bedridden approved bedroom is a fire clearance violation.

Additionally during today's inspection, LPA observed Individual (I1) in the kitchen near resident's food. Staff S1 was observed assisting a resident in the bathroom and S2 was observed contacting Administrator and later in resident hallway assisting S1. I1 stated it was their first day "shadowing" training. Administrator arrived later and stated I1 does not work at Magnolia Gold Home, I1 was waiting for Administrator. LPA confirmed with the facility's personnel roster printed 03/04/2022 that I1 is finger print cleared but not associated as required.
