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 Business Office Manager Tammy Eddy 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 Business Office Manager Tammy Eddy and inquired about if the facility has an Infection Control Plan that LPA Colvin could view, as there is not one on file with Licensing. Business Office Manager Tammy Eddy provided LPA Colvin with a binder which indicated it contained the Infection Control Plan, but when LPA Colvin looked through the binder, there was only a hand washing guide and training for staff in relation to infection control. Prior to the completion of the inspection, Business Office Manager Tammy Eddy was able to produce the facility's Infection Control Policy, which LPA Colvin quickly looked through. LPA Colvin instructed Business Office Manager to submit a copy to the Riverside Licensing Office for the facility's file.
LPA Colvin toured the facility and confirmed that residents have hand sanitizer available to them, and the bathrooms were stocked with hand soap and paper towels, and hand washing guides are posted. Upon entering the facility, LPA Colvin observed postings 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 to be sufficient for a 30-day supply. LPA Colvin went over the various recommended training for facility staff with Business Office Manager Tammy Eddy 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. Business Office Manager Tammy Eddy confirmed that all staff have been fit tested, and that they will be re-fit tested annually. LPA Colvin also inquired about if the facility is still screening their residents daily for COVID-19 symptoms, which includes checking their temperature. |
