13 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Kerry Hiratsuka arrived at the facility unannounced on 03/16/2022, to conduct a Complaint Investigation Visit. LPA conducted COVID-19 Precautionary prescreening, and wore a surgical mask while at facility. LPA was screened by Front Desk.
LPA Hiratsuka, investigated the allegation “Facility failed to follow proper protocol for COVID-19.” LPA interviewed staff. The issue is visitors refusing to follow the mandates issued by California Department of Public Health (CDPH) regarding mask mandates and how the facility is supposed to enforce it. Interviews indicate the facility is doing the best they can to enforce the mask mandates, but every once in awhile will have issues with visitors taking off masks when no staff around in the common areas or wait until no staff around and take the masks off. The administration team schedule meetings with the visitors to discuss the mask mandates and it appears to work.
Based on the above, LPA cannot prove or disprove the facility is not enforcing the mask mandates from CDPH, the allegation is unsubstantiated. |
