25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, made an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct an annual inspection, with an emphasis on infection control. The LPA arrived at approximately 2:20 PM, signed in and utilized hand sanitizer. The LPA met with Administrator, Aurora Cuasay, and informed her of the purpose of her visit. There are currently no cases of COVID-19 within the facility.
During today's visit, the LPA toured the home and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures. The LPA observed sufficient hand hygiene supplies and sufficient cleaning and disinfecting provisions. The facility does not have a designated infection control lead person who is responsible for overall infection control. The facility has a Plan for Epidemic Outbreak Specific to COVID-19 Mitigation Plan Report in place which is pending review from the Department. The LPA observed sufficient Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and sufficient cleaning supplies.
On this visit it was found that Staff One (S1) and Staff Two (S2) do not have a California Fingerprint Clearance. Interviews revealed S1 and S2 work and/or reside in the facility. This poses a potential health, safety and personal rights risk to the residents in care. A citation and civil penalties will be issued.
Due to insufficient time, a return visit will be conducted to continue the inspection. An exit interview to review this report was conducted with Cuasay and a copy was provided.
NOTE: This report was amended on December 08, 2022.
