Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jennifer Semin arrived at the facility unannounced after completing a COVID-19 Risk Assessment Screening for the facility via telephone. LPA met with administrator Bertha Martin and assistant administrator Humberto Arteaga and advised them of the purpose of the visit, and that the Annual Inspection will be limited to Infection Control only.
LPA went over COVID-19 best practices for infection control and prevention with Ms. Martin and Mr. Arteaga who are successfully incorporating the facility's Mitigation Plan. Clients have hand sanitizer available to them and the bathrooms were stocked with hand soap and paper towels. LPA observed the facility to have multiple postings throughout the facility for cough etiquette, proper hand washing procedure, social distancing, and emergency contact information for local fire department has been updated.
LPA requested to inspect the facility's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supply, which was located at the central entry point for convenience. LPA observed a storage area for storing all PPE items such as gloves, face shields, gowns, surgical masks, N95 masks, disinfectant and hand sanitizer supply and is inaccessible to clients. LPA and Ms. Martin discussed creating a box, or similar, to have a supply of PPE ready that would be dedicated for isolation room, along with a trash can to put inside and outside of an isolation room.
LPA inquired as to if staff have been fit tested for N95 masks, and Ms. Martin stated their staff have not been fit tested yet. LPA will be issuing a Technical Assistance Advisory Note during today's inspection for staff not being fit tested for N95 masks. LPA will not be issuing a deficiency for this item due to the facility not currently having any COVID-19 positive clients, and N95 masks only needing to be worn when a client is COVID-19 positive or under observation while awaiting test results. Additionally, clients have been vaccinated and are practicing other COVID-19 precautions, which minimize the risk of them contracting COVID-19. LPA provided Ms. Martin with the Provider Information Notice (PIN) PIN-21-10-ASC which contains resources for getting staff fit tested for N95 masks.
An exit interview was conducted, and this report was discussed and provided to Ms. Martin along with a copy of PIN 21-10-ASC and LIC9102 TA Advisory Note.
