25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA), Stephanie Torres, made an unannounced visit to the facility to conduct an annual inspection, with an emphasis on infection control. The LPA arrived at approximately 11:46 AM, signed in and utilized hand sanitizer. The LPA met with Administrator, Russell Aguinaldo, and informed him of the purpose of her visit. There are currently no cases of COVID-19 within the facility.
During today's visit, the LPA toured the facility and made observations pertaining to the facility's infection control measures. The LPA observed sufficient cleaning and disinfecting provisions and proper use of face coverings. 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 disinfection provisions are in adequate quantities. The facility has a plan in place (Plan for Epidemic Outbreak Specific to COVID-19 Mitigation Plan Report) 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 residents, 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 residents regularly for any changes in condition and to subsequently notify the resident's physician and to notify all emergency agencies in the event of any COVID-19 related and/or suspected illnesses.
During this visit the LPA observed a lock on the exterior emergency side gate. A citation will be issued, along with a civil penalty. The LPA also observed Staff One (S1) to be working in the facility without a California Clearance. A citation will be issued, along with a civil penalty.
