Kin on Assisted Living

The facility had recurring violations involving four staff members lacking valid CPR/first aid certification and two instances of unlicensed staff administering insulin injections without proper nurse delegation training or RN supervision, placing 12 residents at risk. These are repeat violations previously cited in January 2025, with the nurse delegation issue also recurring from 2022 and 2023, demonstrating a pattern of non-compliance. The facility's response has been inadequate, as evidenced by the uncorrected deficiencies from prior inspections and imposition of $1,300 in civil fines. While no actual resident harm is documented, the systemic failure to maintain basic staffing credentials and medication administration protocols represents moderate care quality violations with minimal corrective follow-through.

The facility failed to ensure nurse delegation was in place for three residents requiring skilled nursing tasks (blood sugar checks, injections, medication crushing), resulting in unlicensed staff performing these tasks without proper training and placing residents at risk for compromised health conditions. This is a recurring deficiency previously cited in September 2022 and June 2023, indicating a pattern of systemic non-compliance. The facility's response has been inadequate, as evidenced by the repeated violations over multiple years and the imposition of a $600 civil fine. The recurring nature demonstrates the facility has failed to implement effective corrective actions despite prior citations.

The facility had two minor documentation violations during the August 28, 2023 inspection: missing annual fire wall inspection records and missing monthly emergency lighting test documentation. Both violations were procedural/administrative in nature with no immediate safety impact to residents. The facility corrected all violations within 10 days, as confirmed by the September 7, 2023 follow-up inspection showing full compliance and approved status.

The facility failed to develop and document behavioral interventions in the Negotiated Service Agreement for one resident with behavioral health needs, placing the resident at risk for inadequate care. This represents an uncorrected deficiency previously cited in June 2023 and a recurring violation from January 2022, resulting in a $300 civil fine. The facility's response has been inadequate, demonstrated by the repeated failure to correct this deficiency over 18 months despite prior citations. The pattern of non-compliance indicates insufficient corrective action and systemic failure to address documentation requirements for behavioral health care planning.
