At 2:00pm, LPAs were greeted and granted entry by Caregiver Rosemarie Macadangdang and explained the purpose of the visit. At the time of visit there was three (3) staff and three (3) residents present. One (1) resident was away from the facility.
During today's visit, LPAs toured the facility and made observations regarding the infection control measures that the facility has implemented. The entrance of the facility has a check in process for staff and visitors that includes a temperature and symptom check. LPAs observed Covid-19 postings and proper cough etiquette postings throughout. The facility has an adequate amount of hand hygiene supplies (soap, hand sanitizer). LPAs observed a thirty (30) day supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which includes gloves, face shields, gowns, disinfectant, surgical masks, N95 masks, and hand sanitizer. PPE was stored in a closet in the hallway.
The facility staff has a plan in place to manage Covid-19 symptoms, which includes staff monitoring residents regularly for any changes in condition and daily temperature checks. The facility will contact the resident's physician in the event of any Covid-19 related illnesses. There is a symptom screening of residents logged daily. The facility staff are responsible for cleaning and disinfecting the highly touched surface areas during their shift. All staff and residents are practicing all other Covid-19 precautions, which minimize the risk of them contracting Covid-19.
