25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Jesse Gardner made an unannounced visit to conduct an annual inspection, with emphasis on infection control. LPA was greeted by Caretaker Maria Malasig and explained the purpose of today's visit. There were 4 clients inside the facility at the time of visit. Administer Christian Gerada arrived inside the facility during the visit.
LPA toured the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility’s infection control measures. LPA observed proper signage throughout the facility, sufficient hand hygiene supplies. A 30 day supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was not noted at the time of visit, thus a (TA) LIC9102 was created.
The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases, cleaning and disinfection provisions are in adequate quantities, and that staff are trained in overall infection control. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing guidelines for when and how long to test staff and residents for COVID-19. When and how to isolate/quarantine clients, and when to schedule cleaning and disinfection times of high traffic and frequently touched areas.
The facility also has a plan in place to monitor clients regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the client's physician and to notify all emergency agencies in the event of any COVID-19 related and/or suspected illness.
An exit interview was conducted, and a copy of this report was discussed with and provided to Mr. Gerada along with a copy of the LIC9102. After a check of the staff roster, it was discovered that staff Maria Malasig had a background clearance, but was not associated to the facility. Thus another LIC9102 was discussed with and provided to Mr. Gerada. |
