Comments:
The LI for Runk and Pratt Forest, along with two other LI's, conducted an unannounced renewal study on 02/28/2020 from 9:30AM until 1:25PM, finding 60 residents in care. The inspection included a tour of the physical plant, observation of a medication pass, review of the medication storage carts and observation of the midday meal to see if special diets are being given as required by physicians' orders. Eight resident records were thoroughly reviewed and an additional six were partially reviewed in relation to the observation of the medication pass. Sworn disclosures statements and criminal record checks were examined for all newly hired staff and the records of four staff were thoroughly reviewed. Additional facility documentation was surveyed for compliance with the Standards for Assisted Living Facilities. Findings were reviewed with facility staff during the inspection. An exit interview was conducted with the Director of Nursing and an Administrator from a sister facility on the date of the inspection, where findings were reviewed and an opportunity was given for questions, as well as for providing any information or documentation which was not available during the inspection.

Please complete the ?plan of correction? and ?date to be corrected? for each violation cited on the violation notice and return it to your licensing inspector within 10 calendar days from today.
