25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Stephanie Williams conducted an unannounced visit to the facility. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a required annual inspection, with an emphasis on infection control due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LPA Williams was screened for COVID-19 symptoms and asked to provide a temperature reading upon arrival to the facility. LPA Williams met with Administrator, Teodora San Juan. San Juan confirmed that there are currently no cases/exposures of COVID-19 within the facility.
During the inspection, LPA Williams conducted a brief tour of the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures and other health and safety concerns.
