25 | Licensing Program Analysts (LPAs) Tricia Danielson and Chinwe Nwogene arrived unannounced to the facility to conduct an annual inspection with emphasis on infection control. LPAs met with Administrator Lavon Simmons-Robinson and explained the purpose of today's visit. There are currently no residents residing at the facility.
During the inspection, LPAs interviewed Simmons-Robinson regarding the facility's infection control measures and inspected the facility for regulatory compliance. LPAs observed appropriate postings in the facility, including COVID-19 symptoms postings, which were in accordance with the Department's guidelines. LPAs observed that the facility was also equipped with sufficient hand hygiene supplies, sufficient cleaning/disinfecting provisions, and a supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The facility has a designated infection control lead person who has been tasked with tracking all COVID-19 cases and/or suspected cases and ensuring that staff are trained in the facility's infection control measures. The facility has a plan in place which follows Community Care Licensing Division guidelines for COVID-19 testing, isolation, and properly caring for clients 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.
No deficiencies were observed during today's visit. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report was provided. |
