The LPA also advised the Administrator to ensure staff continue wearing face masks at all times. The facility’s cleaning protocol is sufficient. If needed, the facility has the capacity to designate a single isolation room if the facility has a confirmed case of COVID-19. The facility does not have a confirmed case of COVID-19 at this time and the LPA reviewed facility’s policies and procedures as it pertains to infection control.

At this time the Administrator indicated that all the residents residing on the 2nd floor are able to access the 1st floor either unassisted or by escort.
