32 | Regarding the allegation " Facility is not following COVID-19 protocols." It was alleged that on 9/29/2022 at 12:30pm, facility Staff did not screen W1 for COVID-19 symptoms until prompted. While staff was attempting to take W1’s temperature, the forehead thermometer was not working properly and needed a change of battery. During a previous visit by W2 on 6/14/2022, two (2) Staff, S3-4 were not wearing masks and did not screen W2 for COVID-19 symptoms upon entry for an indoor visit. LPA conducted an unannounced visit on 10/05/2022 and observed that S1 who greeted LPA at the door did not ask LPA to sign in, use hand sanitizer or asked for temperature check. S1-2 stated that S5 did not conduct a formal training about Covid-19 protocols but reminded them to wear a mask and screen visitors upon arrival. S1-2 both said that they sometimes forget to wear a mask and do covid-19 screening when visitors arrive at the facility. On 10/06/22, S3 stated that he and S4 forgot to wear a mask and do the Covid-19 screening when W2 visited the facility on 6/14/22. LPA interviewed S4 on the phone and she stated that she never wears a mask inside the facility. S4 also indicated that she did not conduct Covid-19 screening at the door for visitors. On 10/07/22, LPA interviewed R3-5 and all of them stated that they do not know if the staff screens the visitors when they arrive because they stay in their respective rooms most of the time. LPA attempted to interview R1-2 but they were not able to communicate effectively.
Based on LPA's observations, and interviews conducted, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met, therefore the above allegations are found SUBSTANTIATED. California Code of Regulations Title 22, Division 6 and Chapter 8 are being cited on the attached LIC 9099D. Failure to correct the deficiencies may result in civil penalties.
Exit interview was conducted with Rosalyne Obedoza and a copy of the report, LIC 9099D, and Appeal Rights were provided. |
