Benson House has also contacted the county to obtain an inservice for staff but the were informed the county is backlogged and therefore cannot do the inservices for Benson Houses at this time. PHN Clark and RM Lacey requested the name of the county rep spoken to so CCL can assist Benson House in getting an inservice in a timely manner.
RM Lacey inquired about what screening protocols are set up in Benson Houses. SA Williams reported temperatures are taken, staff and visitors are screened for symptoms and are not allowed in a facility with any symptoms even if it's believed to be allergies. The testing kits have allowed Benson Houses to test staff immediately or send them to be tested.
RM Lacey asked how the licensee ensures protocols/training provided are followed at each facility. SA Williams reported AD's ensure the wellness stations are stocked and that each staff is utilizing PPE supplies and following protocols. SA Williams reported she has gone out to facilities herself and made observations to ensure protocols are followed. PR Hinchman also reported visiting facilities to make observations as well.
RM Lacey asked who the Infection Control lead is in each facility. PR Hinchman and SA Williams both reported the Administrator (AD) in each home is the Infection Control lead person. RM Lacey asked
what their role is and what guidance do they provide Benson House staff and clients. SA Williams reported ADs go through the home and ensure staff are following protocols and using PPE properly. They also ensure staff and clients are safe. SA Williams reported Benson House has discovered that staff are becoming infected outside of the facility and on their own time. SA Williams reported Benson House's HR department conducts an interview of each infected person and gathers information from them to assist them in putting protocols in place.
PHN Clark provided consultation regarding the proper use of infection control disinfection solutions, donning and doffing PPE, monitoring air conditioning filters, the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to assist in fighting COVID.
RM Lacey reviewed and provided PIN 21-32.1.
