25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Crystal Colvin arrived at the facility unannounced for the purpose of completing the facility's Annual Inspection. LPA Colvin met with Licensee/Administrator Teodora San Juan and advised of the purpose of the visit, and that the Annual Inspection will be limited to Infection Control only. Below is a summary of what was observed:
Infection Control: LPA Colvin went over COVID-19 best practices for infection control and prevention with Licensee/Administrator Teodora San Juan, who LPA Colvin found to be successfully incorporating the several aspects of the facility's Mitigation Plan. Residents have hand sanitizer available to them and the bathrooms were stocked with hand soap and paper towels. While touring the facility, LPA Colvin observed postings throughout the facility for cough etiquette, social distancing, and infection control. LPA Colvin requested to view the facility's PPE supplies (gloves, masks, and sanitizer, and isolation gowns), which LPA Colvin observed the facility have an adequate supply. LPA Colvin went over the various recommended training for facility staff with Licensee/Administrator Teodora San Juan in relation to COVID-19 and confirmed that staff have been trained on various aspects of infection control, recognition of symptoms of COVID-19, and donning/doffing PPE.
LPA Colvin inquired as to if staff have been fit tested for N95 masks, and Licensee/Administrator Teodora San Juan confirmed that staff have been fit tested. LPA Colvin inquired about if the facility is screening their residents daily for COVID-19 symptoms, which includes checking their temperature. Licensee/Administrator Teodora San Juan confirmed that residents are being screened daily. LPA Colvin observed a sign-in sheet at the front door of the facility, and confirmed that visitors and staff are being screened for symptoms prior to entering the facility, as LPA Colvin was also screened during entry.
Other Issues: During LPA Colvin's inspection, two additional items outside of Infection Control were observed which need to be addressed. |
