N/A N/A Areas of Concern Exit Summary Are there resident issues or topics that need follow-up or review at a later time or during the next visit? Owners, Betsy Collins and her sisters, were very knowledgeable and impressed the visit team with their dedication to caring for the residents and providing a good experience for them. The one area of concern noted by the visit team was the darkness in the homes, due to drawn shades & lights not being on. This could present a safety risk. One member of the visit team, Will Lang visited the home on October 31 to share Halloween items. Owners’ relatives were there talking with residents. Preparations were underway for a Halloween Party. Mr. Lang was invited back at Christmas time to help residents prepare for that holiday Discuss items from “Areas of Concern” Section as well as any changes observed during the visit. Give summary of visit with Administrator or Supervisor-In- Charge. Does the facility have needs that the committee or community could help address? The owners, three sisters, accommodate a very unique resident population. On visit date census was 10 residents with 12 total, one female, 9 men. Likely too complex/challenging for their family to care for at home or are homeless and unable to care for themselves. Owners frequently assist residents with needs related to clothing, personal items, etc. that may exceed their SSI allocation. All three sisters state that they are CNAs and have medication tech certification.
