25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stephanie Williams made an unannounced visit to the facility. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a required annual inspection, with an emphasis on infection control due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA Williams arrived and was granted entry by Administrator, Carlos Magistrado. LPA Williams was screened upon arrival. Magistrado confirmed that there are currently no positive cases or exposures of COVID-19 within the facility.
During the inspection, LPA Williams conducted a brief tour of the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures. LPA Williams observed appropriate postings throughout the facility, including self-monitoring/symptom assessment postings and hand-washing etiquette postings. The facility was also equipped with sufficient hand hygiene supplies, sufficient cleaning/disinfecting provisions, and a 30+ day supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). LPA Williams also observed that all staff members were properly wearing face coverings. The Administrator stated that all visitors are screened prior to entrance and required to wear face coverings. The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases, ensuring PPE supplies are maintained, cleaning and disinfection provisions are in adequate quantities, and that staff are trained in the proper use and disposal of PPE. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing Division guidelines for COVID-19 testing, isolating/quarantining residents, and properly caring for residents with COVID-19 positive results and/or exposures. The facility also has a plan in place to monitor residents regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the resident's physician and emergency personnel in the event the client presents any COVID-19 symptoms.
LPA Williams observed no health and safety concerns at the time of visit. Based on observations made during today’s inspection, no deficiencies were cited per Title 22, Division 6, of the California Code of Regulations. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and a copy of this report was also provided to Magistrado at the conclusion of the inspection. |
