Comments:
A renewal inspection was initiated on 09/20/2021 and concluded on 09/21/2021. The Administrator was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. The Administrator reported that the current census was 50. The inspector emailed the Administrator a list of items required to complete the remote documentation review portion of the inspection. The inspector reviewed 3 resident records, 3 staff records, medication management plan, health care oversight, fire and health inspections, fire drill logs, dietician oversight and staff schedules, submitted by the facility to ensure documentation was complete. An exit interview was conducted with the Administrator on the date of 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. Information gathered during the inspection determined non-compliances with applicable standards or law, and violations were documented on the violation notice issued to the facility.
