32 | During this pandemic, all the staff would wear mask in the facility but not all residents would wear mask, the staff would keep reminding residents to put on a mask. Besides wearing mask, staff would constantly be reminding the residents to wash hands and practice social distancing too. Per administrator, the facility has been started checking resident’s temperature three times a day, teaching residents how to wash their hands, wearing mask, practicing social distancing and no visitors were allowed in the facility since March 2020. In addition, any residents go out from the facility, they must have to wear mask and check temperature when they return. All staff reported R1 would never put on a mask and R1 would take the mask off immediately if staff assists her to put on. Sometimes R1 would even being agitated to the staff when staff instructed her to do. R1 also needs to be reminding constantly for washing hands as R1 was always confused due to her medical diagnosis.
Based on statements and interviews conducted with staff and residents and there was not enough supportive evidence to concur with the reported allegation. Although the allegation may have happened or are valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did or did not occur, therefore the allegation is UNSUBSTANTIATED.
A telephonic exit interview was conducted with Administrator Nirjara Acharya. A hard copy of the report was emailed. Staff was instructed to sign the LIC 9099 reports and return to LPA.
