25 | Licensing Program Analyst's (LPA's) Stephanie Williams and Elecia Weathersby 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. The LPA's arrived and was asked to provide a temperature reading by a facility staff member. LPA's met with Administrator, Theresa Mapilis, who confirmed that there are currently no cases/exposures of COVID-19 within the facility.
During the inspection, the LPA's 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 fitted with 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 resident presents any COVID-19 symptoms.
The LPA's 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 or Regulations. An exit interview was conducted where this report was discussed and a copy of this report was also provided to Mapilis at the conclusion of the inspection. |
